YAMHILL COUNTY WANTS THIS PROJECT!

Here is a link to Yamhill County's suggestion regarding making our street a runway to a "...east/west minor arterial in the north Newberg urban area." I am unsure of the date this was suggested:

2.1.7 City of Newberg Transportation System Plan
This plan provides a comprehensive analysis of the transportation system within Newberg. It examines the existing conditions for all transportation modes within the city. Future transportation needs were identified in the plan based on the long-range impacts of local and regional growth on the transportation system in the Newberg urban area. The plan recommends a Newberg-Dundee by-pass and identifies several alternatives for a future east/west minor arterial in the north Newberg urban area. A list of roadway capacity improvement projects that involve County roads include:

1. Main Street between Illinois and Mountainview
2. Springbrook Road from Crestview Drive South to Highway 219
3. Chehalem Drive between Highway 240 and Bell Road
4. Fernwood Street between Springbrook and City limits
5. Columbia Street between Chehalem Drive and College Street
6. Wynooski Road from 12th Street to 4th Street.

Ultimately, our stretch of road was transferred to the jurisdiction of the City of Newberg.
