Three months ago, I reported that PDOT had finalized their list of projects to be funded through the Transportation System Development Charges (TSDC) program.
This program assesses one-time fees to new development and redevelopment to help pay for transportation improvements.
Now that the list has been approved by City Council, the following projects will receive about one quarter of their funding from TSDCs.
(These are only the projects that have a bike infrastructure component, for more details and the full list of 43 projects click here.)
- Central Eastside Bridgehead – Improve pedestrian and bicycle access to bridge approaches.
- Burnside/Couch, East – Implements a one-way couplet design including new traffic signals, widened sidewalks, curb extensions, bike lanes on-street parking and street trees.
