Both the City and County of Hood River are applying for a Transportation and Growth Management grant from the state to do a plan for the west side of Hood River and its urban growth area. City Manager Steve Wheeler says the plan would seek to link the growth patters of an area with transportation needs. Wheeler notes there is a transportation systems plan in place, and it would be used as a building block for this effort. He added primary landowners in the west side area have indicated they are willing to wait on some development for this kind of plan to be put together.
