3. CONSIDER MINUTES
The January 6, 2021 meeting Minutes were unanimously approved.
4. 4. PUBLIC COMMENT / TTAC MEMBER ITEMS
Shelley Chase provided written comments regarding Fern St. safety concerns which was proved to TTAC
via email today. Tegan noted that there is currently traffic calming provided through speed humps and
over 85% of the traffic travels at or below the speed limit of 25 mph. Fern St.will be added to the speed
reduction list presented to Council to reduce it to 20 mph. Only one crash appears in the annual ODOT
crash data. Street improvements must be ADA compliant and several issues are likely to prevent an
inexpensive shoulder widening which would require extensive vegetation removal. The temporary Streets
for People program will restart in the spring and this area can be evaluated to see if it qualifies. Staff will
look at other options and talk to more neighbors and report back to TTAC at an upcoming meeting.
