Transportation System Plan
and Land Use Refinement Plan

Thank you for your feedback on the proposed transportation project list this past spring! The project list will continue to be refined through the Kingston Terrace Master Plan effort. Learn more here.

Help us shape King City’s first Transportation System Plan.

Even amid COVID-19, this project will offer healthy, yet engaging opportunities for community input.

Until now, King City did not own most of its major roads. Most have been managed by other jurisdictions, such as ODOT. This worked fine for a while, but the needs of our City are growing and changing. Our population has more than doubled in the last 20 years, approaching 5,000. It could double again in another 20 years. 

King City is planning for gradual growth west to Roy Rogers Road, which will add to city-owned roads. Just as we are planning land use, we must also plan for how everyone will get around. The city’s first-ever Transportation System Plan (TSP) will include a framework for a safe, well-connected transportation system including policies, standards, network maps, a capital projects list, and more. 

We need your help finding the best ways to serve people walking, biking, using transit, and driving. 

Online Open House

Project Information

Background

Learn why a TSP is needed and what it will do.

Why now?

King City has never before prepared a TSP. With the addition of new lands, the City must now forecast the next 20 years of its transportation needs. 

The state requires it. The City is expanding west, out to Roy Rogers Road. It will build and own new roads — enough to reach the state’s requirement for a Transportation System Plan (TSP).

Our future depends on it. As our size and population grow, a TSP is the standard tool for making decisions on transportation updates. With this, we’ll also work with partners — transportation agencies (TriMet and the Oregon Department of Transportation) along with Washington County, the City of Tigard and others — to make sure our transportation needs are met.

What area will the plan consider?

This project is for all of King City, including the developing western expansion area. We will consider how people get to our commercial core and underdeveloped areas, and plan for “Complete Streets” that include safe walking and biking options everywhere in town.

It’s important that we look closely at the streets people use most, including SW Beef Bend Road, SW Roy Rogers Road, and Pacific Highway West (99W). We’ll assess how to make their key intersections safer and more reliable.

How is this project funded?

The City received a Transportation & Growth Management grant from ODOT to help produce a TSP.

King City Beef Bend South Master Plan Project

A separate yet related project has begun — the King City Beef Bend South Master Plan Project. Instead of working separately, the city and consultants will work closely to build one consistent vision for a healthy, thriving community. Learn more.
