MIEPF1S, the establishment of a "Weste-rn Bypass" expressway linking Interstate
Highway 5, Pacific Highway 99W, and Sunset Highway 26 along the western side of
the Metropolitan Portland region has long been a goal of many of the cities in
Washington and Yamh_ill Counties, and
A*MMuS, the Metropolitan Service District (IM-MO) cmxh�c.-ted an extensive
Southwest corridor Study in 1986 and 1937, and the study's final report clearly
identified the Western Bypass as an integral element of a rehensive
solution to transportation needs in the western :metropolitan region, and
WairMM-1, the I-5 to 99W segment of the Western Bypass was one of only four road
projects identified by a near unanimous coalition of cities and counties,
stretchJng from the City of Tigard on the east to Lincoln City on the west, for
incl--union in the Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOr) Six-Year Highway
Impz�t Plan, and
MMMAS, ODOT responded by designating the We--I r t Bypass as an "AcCL-ss Oregon"
rcute, Part of Governor Neil Cyoldscdnmidt's plan to boost economic and tourism
growth in Orion, and
MCMFAS, ODOT also responded by including significant funding for the Western
Bypass in the 1988 Six-Year Highway Improvement Plan update to complete Bypass
planning and prelimi- y engineering, and to initiate right-cf—ay acquisition
by 1993, and
WfflEREAS, Washington County u1ty and METRO have identified a Western Bypass Corridor
in their respective Transportation Plan Updates, and
WHEREAS, coantisiued growth in inrhrstry and population along Interstate 5,
Highway 99W, and Highway 26, and the growth in business and t wrist traffic to
and from the Oregon Coast, make the establishment- of a connecting Bypass an
essential e-lerent .in the continued economic c vitality of Warrington and Yamhill
C m alti.es, and
VMREAS, tangoing legal and procedural disputes rxytwithctan i g, the Western
Bypass remains a crucial, if not the crucial element, in a multi-modal solution
to the prcble-- of transporting good and people through, to, and from the
waste-rn Matropolltan Portland region.
