South County Destination Management: Kiwanda Corridor Project

View larger map >

Project Overview

The Kiwanda Corridor Project is an opportunity to leverage the County’s assets to improve local livability issues, including: increasing public safety; protecting our natural resources; promoting stewardship of the community; providing education on the history of the area; improving visitor experiences; encouraging longer stays; and attracting new visitors during the non-peak seasons to address local business community needs for more consistent and predictable revenue. The Kiwanda Corridor Project will create a comprehensive and coordinated plan to;

• Cape Kiwanda parking lot: Restructure and improve the existing parking lot, including replacing restrooms, and upgrading garbage and recycling facilities.
• Multi-Use Path:  construct a new continuous pathway along Cape Kiwanda Drive and Sunset Drive from the Cape Kiwanda parking lot to Bob Straub State Park.
• Webb Park: Relocate the existing campground and create a new public parking lot with access improvements to Circle Drive.
• Jensen Property:  Develop the recently acquired property, including access improvements to Pacific Avenue and Sunset Avenue at Cape Kiwanda Drive.
• Nestucca Valley Community Alliance (NVCA) community park: Complete development of the NVCA Skatepark as a community park on the Tillamook Lightwave property.
• Shuttle Services: Improve wayfinding and access to promote increased ridership.
• Shorepine Village Boardwalk: Improve wayfinding and provide repairs to facilitate long-term usage.

The project is currently in phased detailed design, beginning with the Cape Kiwanda parking lot, a vault restroom at the Jenson Property, and possible engineering of the intersection at Kiwanda Drive and Beachy Bridge.
