A final work plan will be provided to the JEO for consideration in September and submitted to the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) for approval at its October 15-16, 2008 meeting in Prineville. A. Short Term Actions. The following items will be initiated before the LCDC meeting in order to preliminarily address DLCD and ODOT concerns regarding RTP-TSP consistency: 1. Amend the TransPlan project lists to delete all projects that have been completed. 2. Amend TransPlan to add a sentence stating that the WEP is not a "planned transportation facility" for purposes of OAR 660-012-0060, the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). 3. Amend TransPlan to extend the planning horizon from 2015 to the estimated year in which the metropolitan area will arrive at the population TransPlan is designed to serve (296,500 people). Amend the Transportation Element of the Metro Plan as needed for consistency with the revised TransPlan planning horizon. B. Mid-Term Actions . The following items may occur either before the LCDC meeting or later as part of the long range transportation planning work plan: 1. Determine the framework of Transportation System Plans (TSP’s). Coburg has its own TSP. Eugene and Springfield will need to decide whether to have a shared TSP or individual TSP’s. 2. Determine whether the four ODOT facilities projects that were moved from the Illustrative to the Financially Constrained list in the 2031 Regional Transportation Planning Workplan Outline 1 of 3 7/11/2008
