(1) New roads and railroads should be located outside of the shoreline jurisdiction whenever feasible.

(2) Support completion and expansion of the Clallam County portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) and connections of other trail linkages to the ODT as an important regional multi-use transportation facility and to increase public access and recreational use of the shoreline.

(3) Transportation system plans and transportation projects within shorelines should provide safe shoulders and/or trail space for nonmotorized traffic such as pedestrians and bicyclists. Space for such uses should be required along public roads on shorelines, where appropriate, and should be considered when rights-of-way are being vacated or abandoned.

(4) Public access should be provided to shorelines where safe and compatible with the primary and adjacent use, or should be replaced where transportation development substantially impairs lawful public access. Viewpoints, parking, trails and similar improvements should be considered for public transportation system projects in shoreline areas, especially where a need has been identified in County or State plans.

(5) Maintenance and repair of existing transportation facilities in shoreline jurisdiction should use all reasonable methods to minimize adverse impacts on nearby shorelines.

(6) New transportation facility locations should be planned to fit the topographical characteristics of the shoreline to minimize alterations to natural shoreline conditions.

(7) New transportation facilities should be designed and located to avoid and minimize the need for the following:

(8) The location and design of new transportation uses/developments including replacement of existing roads and other infrastructure should take into account implications of sea level rise and other climate change effects.

(9) When transportation corridors are necessary within shoreline jurisdiction, joint-use corridors are preferred and encouraged for roads and other forms of motorized transportation/circulation.

(10) The County should review proposals for new transportation facilities to determine if any such development would thwart or substantially compromise planned restoration actions. The County should work with the proponents of each project to resolve likely conflicts between the proposed facility and planned restoration.
