Often choked with traffic and riddled with potholes, Highway 43 has been a source of ire for the city of West Linn and its residents for years. The city has spent years planning improvements for the highway — which is owned and managed by the Oregon Department of Transportation — and in 2008 approved the first rendition of the Highway 43 Concept Plan. The plan was updated in 2016, but nearly a decade later those planned improvements have yet to come to fruition.
