PRESENTATION
A. Economic & Community Development Director Hendryx provided an introduction to the
Highway 99E Corridor Planning Project, noting that the City had received a Transportation and
Growth Management Grant to develop a Corridor Plan for Highway 99E. Hendryx explained the
purpose of the City Council Workshop meeting. He then introduced Frank Angelo, of Angelo
Planning Group, the lead consultant for the project.
Frank Angelo introduced Ellie Fiore, AICP, Cogan Owens Cogan, who is responsible for citizen
involvement, and Naomi Zwerdling, Project Coordinator with ODOT. Angelo provided a
detailed overview of the Corridor Planning Project, giving a PowerPoint presentation. He
responded to informal questions throughout his presentation.
Councilors asked about the adoption of the project recommendations. Angelo and Zwerdling
explained the process, noting that once the City has formally adopted the Corridor Plan, the
Oregon Transportation Commission will take action on the plan and it will become part of the
Oregon Transportation Plan.
Angelo concluded his presentation by asking the City Council for input on three key questions:
• What are the critical land use, transportation and other issues the Corridor Plan should
address?
• How do Council members view the role (both current and future) that Highway 99E will
play in determining Woodburn's future transportation and land use patterns and
economic development opportunities?
• What are the desired outcomes and important strategies that the Council would like to see
emerge from the Corridor Planning process?
City Councilors and the Mayor provided input to the consultant on these issues. Angelo
indicated that these responses will shape the goals and guiding principles for the project as it
proceeds forward.
