An TAMP objective was to develop alternatives that can be constructed in phases to accommodate Keep Oregon Moving Act funding and future development and limit "throw-away" improvements to the maximum extent feasible. The preferred DDI alternative achieves this objective, preserving the existing infrastructure at the Aurora Donald interchange and setting mobility targets to ensure that future operations can accommodate regional needs. Adoption of the TAMP ensures that operation of the interchange area is safe and efficient and helps preserve the State's major investment in reconstruction of the interchange and minimize the need for future interchange improvements. This Objective is met. Goal 2: Provide an Accessible, Efficient and Practical Transportation System Appropriate to Both Urban and Rural Areas Throughout the County Objective 2.1: Improve mobility and access options to transportation facilities throughout Marion County for transportation system users. Improvements on the County roadway system documented in the TAMP are integral to improving access and efficiency at the 1-5 Aurora Donald Interchange. This interchange serves an unincorporated area in the immediate vicinity, as well as the cities of Aurora, Donald, Barlow, St. Paul, and Canby and the unincorporated community of Butteville. This Goal 2 Objective is met. Objective 2.2: Facilitate goods movement into and out of the area; increase freight(truck, rail, air and water) mobility and inter-modal transfer. Objective 2.3: Facilitate shipping of goods by the most efficient and least-impacting means possible. Objective 2.4: Address changing characteristics of trucking, aviation, agriculture and rail industries. Objective 2.5: Facilitate system connections as needed to improve efficiency and access. Federal and State designations of 1-5 as a truck/freight route highlight the national and local importance of accommodating the movement of large vehicles, which is consistent with many of the land uses present in the interchange area. Land use in the area, including two truck stops, draws substantial large-truck traffic, resulting in frequent slow acceleration and turning movements that impact county roads and 1-5. The TAMP addresses these congestion and safety issues; Preferred Alternative improvements will facilitate goods movement along the 1-5 corridor and access to services for the trucking industry. The TAMP details how the proposed DDI interrelates and connects with the associated local roadway improvements to ensure that future traffic operations at the interchange server the needs of all users, including truck freight. These transportation Objectives have been met. Goal 3: Provide Sufficient Transportation Capacity Objective 3.1: Address existing priorities and projected growth. 1-5:Aurora Donald Interchange(Exit 278)/AMP:Supporting Findings for Marion County Adoption 16
