VISION43

Exciting Changes Coming to Highway 43 - Help Shape the Corridor’s Future!

West Linn and the community are collaborating on VISION43, a bold plan to revitalize the Highway 43 corridor over the next 50 years focusing on creating a sense of place and local identity, ensuring safe crossings, promoting vibrant commerce, and establishing pedestrian networks and enhancing neighborhood connections. By planning for the future of Highway 43, the City can ensure that the corridor evolves to meet the needs of its residents, supports economic growth, and maintains a high standard of safety and sustainability.

What do you image for corridor over the next 50 years? What changes along the corridor should we make in the next 50 years to create the community you want to live in? Safer crossings along Highway 43? Bustling commercial hubs? Enhanced neighborhood connections? Diverse housing options, parks, and vibrant spaces for people through mixed-use zoning?

VISION43 is intended as a long-term guide for land use along Highway 43 for the next 50 years. Help us create a vibrant destination corridor where living, shopping, relaxation, recreation, and entertainment meet. Get engaged now and make your voice heard in the transformation of Highway 43!
