• WOODBURN’S PRIORITIES. Woodburn’s biggest priority is the problems that arise from rapid growth. Chief among these is transportation—streets and traffic. Highway 214 and the freeway interchange have created a nightmare. Much of this is beyond the control of the City alone. Better cooperation and help from the Oregon Department of Transportation and Marion County are required. City government is working hard on these issues, but much remains to be done.

A second priority is preserving the livability of our neighborhoods in face of growth pressures. …..Will work hard to assure that our existing neighborhoods benefit—not suffer—from the City’s growth.

The City’s ambitious programs need to be balanced with the needs of the Schools and Fire District in difficult economic times.
