The Regional Thoroughfare Plan

The Regional Thoroughfare Plan incorporates the primary features of local government thoroughfare planning efforts into a single, comprehensive transportation plan. Given its goal to be sensitive to local needs, the Plan focuses on promoting region wide consistency and continuity regarding arterial street alignments and function between jurisdictions in order to help guide local government thoroughfare planning decisions on facilities that have inter-jurisdictional and regional significance. One of its key aspects is the designation of Regional Arterials whose purpose is intended to balance local mobility needs with the need to provide access to the rest of the regional transportation system. The Regional Transportation Council adopted the current Regional Thoroughfare Plan in May of 2001 in conjunction with Mobility 2025 Update, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
