selection of the Preferred Alternative for interchange improvements involved a thoughtful public involvement process. Implementation of the Phase 1 improvements will necessitate ongoing coordination with County Public Works and the affected property and business owners. Phase 2 improvements will require County conditional use approval and a public hearing process, which will provide another opportunity for public involvement. This Objective has been met. Goal 9:Provide a Useful Plan Document Objective 9.1: Accurately reflect the existing and future transportation systems, issues, and needs of Marion County. The TAMP documents existing transportation conditions (Chapter 2) and projected future transportation needs, assessing safety issues and future transportation demand, capacity, deficiencies, and needs based on 2042 traffic volumes (Chapter 3). This Objective has been met. Objective 9.3: Provide clear planning direction. The IMAP provides up-to-date existing and future conditions information that effectively updates and replaces the content currently found in RTSP Chapter 12, in the Aurora/Donald (Fargo) Interchange Area Sub-Area Plan.To support future County land use and transportation decisions in the vicinity of the interchange, the TAMP includes the location of the County roadway improvements associated with the DDI (Figure 5-8) and access management on Ehlen Road between the relocated roadways of Bents Road and Dolores Way (TAMP Section 5.5, Figure 5-9. Preferred Alternative Access Management Plan). This Objective has been met. Objective 9.5: Extend usable life of existing facilities;provide a maintenance element. The TAMP Preferred Alternative reconfigures existing County roadways— Bents Road, Ehlen Road, and Dolores Way—to enhance efficiency and safety in moving traffic on and off of the I-5 mainline, as well facilitates east-west traffic movement under the highway. Associated access management on Ehlen Road improves mobility on this existing facility and enhances its performance (TAMP Section 5.5). This Objective has been met. CHAPTER 10: POLICIES 10.1.3 Access Management Policy 5: In some cases, the requirements of another jurisdiction (such as the Oregon Department of Transportation) with roadways adjacent to a county road may be more restrictive than these requirements. When this is the case, the more restrictive requirement will be applied. This situation can occur at locations such as freeway interchanges. Policy 6: In some situations longer distances between accesses may be required due to site-specific traffic concerns. In these cases Public Works will require longer spacing and/or set the appropriate location based on engineering analysis.
