Willamette Falls Legacy Project Riverwalk Parking, Access and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
No action is required.
BACKGROUND:
Rick Williams of Rick Williams Consulting will provide a brief overview of the draft Willamette Falls Legacy Project Riverwalk Parking, Access and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan and recommendation for next steps.
This plan examines opportunities and challenges in parking, access, and transportation related to the redevelopment of the Willamette Falls Legacy Project, directly adjacent to our existing downtown.

Incorporating the valuable input of local stakeholders and guided by industry best practices, TDM and parking strategies provide an important set of tools to access the site. The plan outlines and prioritizes strategies, leverages existing conditions and provides flexibility to respond to opportunities for action as they arise.
General recommendations include:
TDM Management Plan Adoption
