Shaping the Future of the Highway 43 Corridor

West Linn and the community are collaborating to reimagine Highway 43 to prioritize a safe and accessible environment for people to comfortably walk, bike, and roll; encouraging development patterns that give people a variety of options to move within the corridor and enhancing connections and access to neighborhoods and surrounding areas, and developing the corridor to serve as a hub for living, working, and recreational activities, featuring a mix of housing, shopping, restaurants, and recreational spaces.


PROJECT GOALS

The primary goal of the VISION 43 is to engage the community to reimagine Highway 43 as a safer, more accessible corridor:

Create a New Community Vision for Highway 43:

Promote development of diverse housing options, parks, shops, and workspaces for people of all ages, incomes, and abilities

Identify Necessary Zoning Changes to Implement the Community's VIsion

Facilitate the development of thriving mixed uses that cater to the community needs, contributing to a vibrant local economy

Ensures Safe Crossing Points and Neighborhood Connections:

Identify near-term and long-term safe crossing points on Highway 43 for all modes of transportation

Establish pedestrian connections that seamlessly link residents to essential goods and services and to neighboring communities, enhancing overall connectivity

Amend Development Code to Align with the Vision

Create a new mixed-use zoning along the corridor



PLANNING AREA

The VISION43 planning area consists of the 3.3-mile corridor on Highway 43 from the I-205 interchange to the West Linn/Lake Oswego border. Pedestrian and bicycle improvements and neighborhood connectivity are identified along the highway throughout the planning area.

Additionally, a new mixed-use zone is proposed within three focus areas along Highway 43 - Bolton/Market of Choice, Old Bolton Fire Station/ State Farm, and Robinwood/ Walmart/Sourdough Willys. In these areas, mixed-use development could occur, along with targeted transportation safety and connectivity improvements. Rezoning would primarily apply to properties currently zoned or used for commercial purposes.
