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."
