The establishment of this fund is intended to dedicate Road Fund ~ <br /> resources to replace culverts that areJow or medium priorities from a road perspective, but are <br /> high priorities from an ODFW or resource agency perspective. <br /> Transportation Planning <br /> In accordance with Goal 12 of the Oregon statewide planning goals, Lane County will develop <br /> and adopt a new Transportation System Plan (TSP) in the coming fiscal year. This TSP will be <br /> based on a review of the condition and function of our road system, and may include adoption of <br /> new County road standards. At a minimum, County staff will review the assumptions leading to <br /> modernization estimates and conduct a review of our relationship to state and city road systems. <br /> This could mean a new role for Lane County in providing services on minor state highways <br /> serving regional or district level trips, such as the Springfield-Creswell Highway, Highway 36, <br /> Highway 99, or even Territorial Highway. <br /> 10 <br /> _ <br /> _ <br /> <br />
