Clackamas County's Transportation System Plan (TSP) reflects all relevant national, state and regional transportation and planning requirements, and provides policies, guidelines and projects to meet transportation needs for residents, businesses and visitors in the unincorporated county for 20 years.
The 2045 TSP Update revisits this plan and helps us to consider the transportation changes that might be possible by 2045. This process involves a broad range of public involvement efforts including this event.

From: Clackamas County TSP Project Management Team
RE: Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment Summary
Executive Summary
The Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment memo documents the existing transportation facilities, land use, intersection performance, and safety findings within the Geographic Subareas (GSA) of the County. To help facilitate your review of more than 200 pages of technical information, this memo highlights some of the primary findings for each defined Geographic Subarea (GSA) within the County.
East County
- Existing bikeways represent only 6 percent of what the County envisions will be in-place over time.
- Major destinations are located primarily along US 26 and include schools, the Boring Station Trailhead Park, the Springwater Corridor/Cazadero Trail, and grocery stores.
- Three of the intersections studied do not meet current performance standards, including OR 212/SE 82nd Avenue, OR 224/SE 232nd Avenue, and OR 224/OR 211. Of these, only the OR 224/SE 232nd Avenue intersection is planned to be modified to address the existing deficiency.
- Of the 2,631 reported crashes between 2019 and 2023, 9.6 percent were fatal or resulted in serious injuries.
- The OR 224/OR 211 intersection is a Metro High Injury intersection.
Southwest County
- Existing bikeways represent only 7 percent of what the County envisions will be in-place over time
- Outside of the incorporated cities, the major destinations are schools.
- Four of the intersections studied do not meet current performance standards, including South End Road/OR 99E, S Leland Road/OR 213, S Leland Road/S Beavercreek Road and OR 99E/S Barlow Road. The S Leland Road/S Beavercreek Road and OR 99E/S Barlow Road intersections are planned to be modified to address the existing deficiency.
- Of the 5,543 reported crashes between 2019 and 2023, 6.1 percent were fatal or resulted in serious injuries.
- The South End Road/OR 99E intersection is a Metro High Injury intersection.
Northwest County
Key takeaways for the Northwest County geographic subarea:
- Existing bikeways represent only 8 percent of what the County envisions will be in-place over time
- Major destinations include schools within and near Stafford, recreational areas along the Willamette River, a grocery store within Stafford, and several wineries
- Of the intersections studied, only the SW Mountain Road/SW Stafford Road intersection does not meet current performance standards. There are no planned projects to address this deficiency.
- Of the 3,240 reported crashes between 2019 and 2023, 3.5 percent were fatal or resulted in serious injuries.
- Five intersections are Metro High Injury intersections, including SW Childs Road/SW Stafford Road, SW Borland Road/SW Stafford Road, SW Mountain Road/SW Stafford Road, SW Elligsen Road/SW 65th Avenue, and SW 65th Avenue/SW Stafford Road.
Greater McLoughlin
- 76% of streets have no sidewalk on either side of the road.
- Existing bikeways represent 64 percent of what the County envisions will be in-place over time.
- The Vulnerable Road User Assessment indicates a high level of risk for pedestrians along OR 99E.
- Major destinations are located primarily along SE Oatfield Road, SE McLoughlin Boulevard and SE River Road and are primarily comprised of long-term care facilities, schools and grocers.
- All of the intersections studied meet current performance standards.
- Of the 1,449 reported crashes between 2019 and 2023, 6.1 percent were fatal or resulted in serious injuries.
- Four intersections are Metro High Injury intersections, including SE Park Avenue/OR 99E, SE Concord Road/OR 99E, SE Roethe Road/OR 99E, and SE Jennings Avenue/OR 99E.
Greater Clackamas Regional Center/Industrial Area West & East
- 60% of streets have no sidewalk on either side of the road (not separated by west/east).
- Existing bikeways represent 41 percent of what the County envisions will be in-place over time.
- The VRU Assessment indicates a high level of pedestrian risk along the OR 213 corridor in the West subarea.
- Major destinations are located primarily along SE 82nd Avenue and SE Sunnyside Road and include the Clackamas Town Center, Clackamas Industrial Area and Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center.
- All of the intersections studied in the West and East subareas meet current performance standards.
- Of the 2,603 reported crashes within the West subarea between 2019 and 2023, 4.7 percent were fatal or resulted in serious injuries. Of the 3,328 reported crashes within the East subarea, 5 percent were fatal or resulted in serious injuries.
- Two intersections within the West subarea are Metro High Injury intersections, including SE Johnson Boulevard/SE Fuller Road and OR 213 (SE 82nd Avenue)/SE King Road. None are Metro High Injury intersections within the East subarea.
- The East subarea has the greatest overrepresentation of severe crashes to roadway miles as well as the greatest overrepresentation of severe crashes to analyzed intersections
