About the Project
The City of Sheridan is updating its Transportation System Plan (TSP) — a long-range blueprint that guides transportation investments, policies, and infrastructure improvements for the next 20+ years. This update will create a modern, comprehensive plan that reflects Sheridan's current needs and future growth while making our community safer, more connected, and more livable for everyone.
Why Update the TSP Now?
Much has changed in the past 25+ years:
Significant residential growth, including new multifamily housing.
Evolving community priorities around safety, walkability, and multimodal transportation.
New State and Federal requirements for transportation planning.
Advances in best practices for accommodating all users — pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, transit riders, and freight.
This update is funded in part through Oregon's Transportation Growth Management (TGM) Program and will fully comply with current Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR 660-012).
Project Goals
The updated TSP will:
Enhance safety for all road users through better street design and targeted improvements
Improve connectivity between neighborhoods, schools, parks, and employment areas
Support active transportation with better sidewalks, bike facilities, and pedestrian crossings
Promote economic vitality by addressing transportation needs in commercial and industrial areas
Address equity and accessibility so that people of all ages and abilities can move safely through Sheridan
Plan for sustainable growth while protecting environmental resources and community character
What the Plan Will Include
Updated inventory and assessment of existing roads, sidewalks, bike routes, and other facilities
Future transportation needs based on projected growth
Multimodal project lists with costs and priorities
Policies and programs to guide implementation
Public and stakeholder engagement throughout the process
The final plan will be adopted by the Sheridan City Council and will guide transportation decisions for years to come.
