The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has prioritized safety along the OR-99E corridor in north Marion County, outlining strategies to enhance transportation safety and traffic operations. Following a detailed evaluation of existing conditions and previous studies, the plan identifies critical locations for intervention, recommending low-cost improvements such as speed limit reductions, lighting upgrades, and enhanced crosswalks. Collaboration with local cities and the Oregon Transportation Commission is essential for adopting these measures and ensuring the safety and character of the corridor is preserved.
