Advocating for Connectivity: OAP Proposes Mixed-Use Pathway to State Legislators

Update June 19, 2024

"On June 18, 2024 a group from OAP presented at the Joint Committee on Transportation at the Port of Tillamook. The legislature’s Statewide Transportation Safety and Sustainability Outreach Tour welcomed an opportunity for us to introduce this community priority. The goal of the meeting was to help build public understanding around the challenges Oregon faces in maintaining a safe, accessible, and reliable transportation system. 


We proposed that the Joint Committee add funding for the design and development of a mixed-use pathway from Tillamook, to Netarts, to Oceanside, to Cape Meares Lighthouse. We discussed how this would benefit the community in many ways, including connecting the rural communities, improving safety and emergency preparedness, improving our economy and tourism, and adding to the overall livability of our area.


We concluded by letting the legislatures know we have a team ready to help! We presented a paper copy to State Senator Weber for her advocacy."

Help Us Find the Potholes and Stormwater Drains Put on your walking shoes and join the fun. We’re launching a community‑wide treasure hunt to locate potholes and stormwater drains that need attention. Every “find” helps improve safety and supports our partnership with Tillamook County Public Works. How to Play See it! Spot a pothole or stormwater drain that needs maintenance. Snap it! Take a clear photo and note the nearest street names or landmarks. Report it! Email your photo and location to: david@daviddulaney.com Track it! Visit https://www.oceansideactionpartnership.org/roads-and-parking to view the live map and watch the community’s progress. Contest Rules Each verified pothole or stormwater drain report earns 1 ticket . Size doesn’t matter—every pothole counts. Credit goes to the first person to report each location. Your total number of verified finds equals your total number of tickets. All tickets will be placed into a drawing at the next OAP community event. Prizes 10 winning tickets will be drawn. Participants can win multiple prizes . Prizes include OAP sweatshirts, T‑shirts, and posters . A Grand Prize will be awarded to the participant with the most verified finds . Safety First Please be safe and responsible when exploring and photographing. Follow general safety guidelines at all times—stay aware of traffic, weather, and your surroundings. Contest Deadline The treasure hunt officially ends at midnight on April 30, 2026 . What Happens Next The OAP Roads/Parking Team will use the completed maps in partnership with Tillamook County Public Works . The County will train our volunteers in pothole analysis and repair techniques and provide materials. Our volunteers will supply the labor—another example of Oceanside neighbors working together.
