Project Background
The City of Coburg has recently received a grant from the State of Oregon Transportation & Growth Management Program 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 has been identified in numerous plans including the Coburg Comprehensive Plan and Coburg Park and Open Space Master Plan. This project will refine the concept, identify specific routes, develop standards, and create a funding and implementation strategy.
