Project Background
The City of Coburg has recently completed a project with grant funding from the State of Oregon Transportation & Growth Management Program (TGM) to develop a strategy for the creation of a hard surfaced bicycle and pedestrian path network that will be developed in the coming years. The path will enhance the livability of Coburg by providing a car-free travel option and greatly enhance the safety for those walking and bicycling by creating connections between Coburg's neighborhoods, downtown, parks, school, and employment areas. This exciting concept was originally identified in numerous plans including the Coburg Comprehensive Plan and Coburg Park and Open Space Master Plan. This project refines the concept, identifies a specific route, includes design standards, and creates a funding and implementation strategy.
