Transportation Advisory Committee - September 10, 2026

The Transportation Advisory Committee of Oregon City held a meeting on September 10, 2026, focusing primarily on updates and discussions related to various capital improvement and infrastructure projects within the city. Key procurement-related topics included the Main Streetscape capital improvement project between 10th and 15th streets, funded by a $4 million grant from lottery bonds supplemented by system development charges, and the TRAT transit center replacement project, which is in the design phase with anticipated construction starting in late winter or early spring. The committee also discussed the phased mixed-use development projects, including the redevelopment of the old courthouse site and the Tommo Village project on the former Blue Heron paper mill site, noting the phased funding and construction approach. Additionally, the committee reviewed ongoing pavement maintenance programs funded through the pavement maintenance fund and gas tax revenues, including slurry seal, micro seal, and in-house paving projects, with an emphasis on coordination with utility projects to optimize costs. The committee considered future priorities such as reviewing the Transportation System Plan (TSP) last updated in 2013, with discussions about grant funding for an update and the potential for the committee to advise on transportation priorities. No formal votes on contracts or procurement actions were recorded, but the meeting included detailed updates on project statuses, funding sources, and coordination efforts relevant to city infrastructure and transportation improvements.
