1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Harshfield called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. The meeting was held remotely using MS

2. CONSIDER MINUTES
The September 6, 2023, meeting Minutes were unanimously approved.
3. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A
4. HALL BOULEVARD HIT AND RUN FATALITY
Dave shared the press release from Tigard Police regarding the investigation. As part of the Safe
Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) project, the city will evaluate and develop updated procedures for
post-crash press releases. As for infrastructure, better lighting at intersections in general would help
improve safety, but there is no dedicated fund to install lighting. Addressing the issue through the
SS4A program will help establish standard procedures. Members suggested reaching out to ODOT
to see how they handle such incidents and to outreach to nearby neighbors to let them know a
serious incident occurred. The Police Department will be invited to a meeting to talk about traffic
enforcement.
5. EL TIGRE FESTIVAL UPDATE
Dave noted this is the second annual event and it is taking place at Cook Park this year. The City is
providing free bike valet parking service this year to promote biking and to reduce parking demand.
The Westside Transportation Alliance will have a table and there will be a couple bike vendors with
demo e-bikes for people to try. He will email members the flyer.
6. RIVER TERRACE TOUR REPORT
Alan discussed the Planning Commission tour he joined. River Terrace Blvd. will continue to Beef
Bend Rd. Tigard and King City will work with the county on improvements to Beef Bend Rd. There
is a potential walking trail, but one lot would have to provide access for Art Rutkin School. River
Terrace 1.0 and River Terrace 2.0 include commercially zoned parcels to allow for more accessible
and local shopping, dining options, and services.

7. TIGARD TRAILS SYSTEM PLAN – PHASE 1
Courtney said the 2011 Trails System Plan will be updated. It will be split into two phases. The first
phase looks at existing conditions. A mobile data collection device will be used to provide a variety
of information on the trail including condition, slope, and distance. The device will take photos that
can create a street view that will be provided to Google. The data will be used for the second phase
to determine what maintenance and improvements are needed on existing trails. The paved trails will
be done first followed by unpaved paths as time allows. The work done with the Bike Map will help
this project. The ten-minute walk analysis for trail access will be looked at in the first phase as will
safety concerns. The project will also create a new trail classification system for the City.
8. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND FUNDING 101
Dave gave a presentation discussing topics including: complexities of serving mobility needs with
many interconnected goals, multifaceted transportation modes, the inextricably link with
Transportation and Land Use, the policies, rules, and regulations impacting transportation at the
local, county, regional, state, and federal government levels, Decision Making Landscape, the Tigard
Transportation “Solar System”, Transportation Funding, Transportation Project Investments, and
What’s on the Horizon. He noted that public comment is allowed at the various levels of
transportation meetings. Pie charts were used to show sources of Tigard Capital Transportation
Funding and the Operations and Maintenance Funding.
9. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
a) Alan noted his disappointment that a former mayor that advocated for walkability and
connectivity in Tigard has chosen not to address those issues in his development plans.
b) Shawne asked about the paving on Oak between 87th and 90th and whether there will be any
roadway improvements. Courtney said that project was only for maintenance, but Tigard
does look for opportunities to restripe and make other improvements when possible.
c) Jane gave feedback that she was unable to attend the Planning Commission RT 2.0 tour,
though she was able to drive out to view the areas covered.
d) Maxine heard from 99W pedestrians that it is difficult to access the sidewalks. Dave and
Courtney have provided feedback to ODOT and he encouraged members and the public to
share their feedback at the Ask ODOT website.
