The North Albany Refinement Plan (NARP) represents a comprehensive planning project for future urban development in the North Albany portion of the City of Albany, Oregon. This project was conducted with involvement from citizens within the planning area and the elected/appointed officials of Albany. The overall goal of the project was to create a plan focusing on integrated land use patterns and innovative development designs that will reduce private automobile reliance and enhance opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle travel, street connectivity, and existing and future transit service while being responsive to natural resources and environmental quality. The plan is designed to provide for urban amenities, economic development, housing, and public facilities and services.
NARP was funded through a grant by the State of Oregon’s Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program, a partnership of the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). As applicant and local project manager for the grant, the City of Albany engaged the consultant project team led by Satre Associates, P.C. to realize the project objectives.
The final draft plan was completed in April 2003.
