community engagement, total annual emissions in Tigard with anticipated population growth
through 2050 (showing the differences between no changes resulting in a 15 percent increase in

percent reduction if low carbon actions are taken), National League of Cities-identified top themes
for US city climate action plans, emissions reductions by category over time (Trees, Solid Waste,

6. TTAC 2022 YEAR IN REVIEW
Ruth noted the annual joint meeting with Council is December 6 via MS Teams. She briefly noted
the areas TTAC covered during the year, including Complete Streets Policy and Implementation,
pedestrian/bike safety improvements and concerns, 20 mph speed reduction efforts, Capital
Improvement projects, Hall Blvd. issues, transportation grant applications, the Transportation
System Plan (TSP) adoption, neighborhood transportation safety concerns, Safe Routes To School
(SRTS) activities, feedback to TriMet on Tigard service, ongoing funding updates, and hosted the
Tigard on the Move transportation series. In 2023, topics will include implementation of the TSP

7. UPDATES/INFO
Dave noted feedback was received on Murdock St. and the preliminary design received mixed
feedback from adjacent residents. City teammates and the engineering consultant is revising the
design to minimize tree impacts by allowing for a narrower design width. Dave will have another
project update next year.
8. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
A. Shawne noted he has been running a Metzger Bike Bus every school day, regardless of
weather. There will be an Open House at Metzger on November 7 to discuss the SRTS
improvements around the school.
B. Michael asked about the intersection at Main and Tigard as drivers on Main often stop not
realizing they do not have a stop sign. The Downtown Reimagined project is looking at this
intersection for possible solutions.
C. Serge noted school traffic at Fowler Middle School and Tiedeman Ave. He noted that the
vertical candlesticks placed to assist crossing are no longer there. Dave noted they were a
temporary measure and cars running over them can tear them out. The area will be looked at
for both short and a long-term solutions.
