RE: Tigard Downtown Reimagined
Multimodal Transportation Gap Summary & Highway Impact Summary DRAFT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Tigard Downtown Reimagined Project (Project) aims to integrate Downtown Tigard's historic roots with
contemporary development patterns and respond to community needs for more housing and multimodal
travel options. Building upon previous and concurrent planning efforts,this Project aims to modernize the
City's approach to development,transportation, and equity by providing recommendations for policies,
financial investment, and code changes that:
• Support Transit Oriented Development ("TOD")
• Set new equity and climate policy and implementation goals
• Provide quality walking, cycling and transit choices
• Create a vibrant community through strategic investments
The Project area is primarily zoned Mixed Use-Central Business District (MU-CBD),with small areas zoned
General Commercial, Light Industrial, Industrial Park and Parks and Recreation at the edges of the project
area.There is no residential zoning within the project area.
The MU-CBD zone is regulated by the Tigard Downtown Plan District,which includes development
standards that encourage density and mixed uses, including minimum residential densities,taller ground
floor height requirements,reduced parking requirements,small maximum setbacks, and urban-feeling lot
coverage and landscape requirements.
Issue
The City's development standards are intended to encourage density and mixed uses; however,these
patterns have not come to fruition.The Project is looking at refining building heights by downtown
subareas' and eliminating maximum residential densities.
To achieve these objectives and vision of the Project,comprehensive plan, development code, and Metro
2040 Center boundary amendments are proposed to allow for and realize the desired development in the
downtown core that contributes to a vibrant, active,welcoming, and accessible mixed-use area with
increased residential densities and commercial businesses.
1 Refined building heights are generally consistent with existing development code

Tigard Downtown Reimagined Study Area
STUDY AREA
The Project is located within an existing Metro Region 2040 Center,which is subject to Climate Friendly
Areas (CFA) transportation review per OAR 660-012-0325(1).As part of the Project,amendments to the
existing Metro Region 2040 Center boundary are proposed.
According to the latest round of draft amendments to Chapter 660-Division 12 Transportation Planning
documented as part of the Climate-Friendly and Equitable Communities Corrections &Clarifications
Rulemaking, Rulemaking Advisory Committee Meeting 4,Cities and counties considering amendments to
comprehensive plans or land use regulations to adopt or expand a 50 climate-friendly area as provided in
OAR 660-012-0310 through OAR 660-012-0320,ora Metro Region 2040 51 center, must make findings,
including:
(a) A multimodal transportation study as provided in section (4); and
(b) The multimodal transportation study must include a highway impacts summary as provided in
section (5) if the designated climate-friendly area as provided in OAR 660-012-0315 or Region 2040
center contains a ramp terminal intersection,state highway,interstate highway,or adopted ODOT
Facility Plan."
The Multimodal Transportation Gap summarizes the existing facility gaps for the automobile,truck/freight,
pedestrian, bicycle,Americans with Disability (ADA), and transit networks.
This Highway Impact Summary is intended to address the potential effects on ODOT facilities within the
Metro Regional Center or nearby that may occur from proposed changes to the current Comprehensive
Plan policies and zoning for the project area.
Figure 1 illustrates the Project study area,the proposed Metro Region 2040 boundary, and proximity to the
OR217 ramp terminal.

Tigard Downtown Reimagined Planned Transportation Improvements
PLANNED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
There are several planned transportation facilities and investments within the Project study area that
support vehicular capacity improvements, mode shift from single occupancy vehicles (SOV) to active
transportation modes, and safety improvements.These improvement projects are documented in the plans
and projects summarized below with further detail of their respective benefits described in Appendix A.
• Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project
• City of Tigard Transportation Safety Action Plan 2019
• City of Tigard Transportation System Plan 2022
• Washington County Transportation System Plan 2019
• Statewide Transportation Improvement Program 2021-2024
• Metro Regional Transportation Plan 2018
• Metro Regional Transportation Plan 2023
• TriMet Pedestrian Plan,2020
EXISTING TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
The following sections describe specific modal infrastructure for the pedestrian, bicycle, and transit
networks, and identifies gaps in those networks.These summaries rely on the information published in the
City's recently adopted 2020 Transportation System Plan (TSP) as well as ODOT's TransGlS website.
Automobile Network
The general characteristic of the Project area is that of a Traditional Downtown/Central Business District.The
Project area is generally bounded by OR99W (Pacific Highway West) to the north-northwest, OR217 to the
east, and Fanno Creek to the south-southwest,with OR141 (SW Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway)
running north-south through the center.
State Facilities
OR99W (Pacific Highway West)
OR99W (Pacific Highway West) is an Urban Other Principal Arterial with a posted speed of 35mph within the
Project area (OR217 southbound ramps [MP 8.69] to SW McKenzie Street [MP 9.56]).West of SW
Greenburg/Main Street(MP 8.93), OR99W has a 4-lane section. East of SW Greenburg Road/Main Street,
OR99W widens to a 5-lane section approaching the OR217 interchange.Shoulders are provided along
OR99W within the Project area with the exception of the segment on and approaching the OR99W viaduct
over the Portland &Western Railroad/Westside Express Service Light Rail (MP 9.18 to MP 9.38). OR 99W is
classified as a Statewide Highway.
According to ODOT's TransGlS, the Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) within the Project area on OR99W is
approximately 35,500 with a range of 30,001 to 50,000.
Kittelson&Associates,Inc.
November 6,2023 Page 6
Tigard Downtown Reimagined Existing Transportation Network
OR141 (SW Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway)
OR141 (SW Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway) is a 2-lane Urban Minor Arterial with paved
shoulders and a posted speed of 30mph between OR99W (MP 4.97) and Tigard City Hall (MP 5.62).Two-
way left turn (TWLT) lanes and dedicated left-turn lanes are located intermittently.South of Tigard City Hall,
the posted speed increases to 35mph.
According to ODOT's TransGlS,the AADT on OR141 within the Project area is approximately 9,400 with a
range of 5,001-10,000 between OR99W and SW Burnham Street and approximately 11,200 with a range of
10,001 - 15,000 south of SW Burnham Street.
Interchange
The OR99W/OR217 southbound ramp terminal is located approximately 100 feet east,and the
OR99W/OR217 northbound ramp terminal is located approximately 730 feet east of the Project study area.
Primary Local Streets
The primary local streets within the Project area are SW Main Street,SW Burnham Street,SW Commercial
Street,SW Hunziker Street, and SW Scoffins Street.A summary of the roadway characteristics including
functional classification, number of lanes, posted speed, and on-street parking is summarized in Table 1.
Table 1: Primary Local Street Characteristics
Functional Number of Travel Posted Speed
Roadway Classification Lanes (MPH) On-Street Parking
SW Main St Collector 2 20 Yes
SW Burnham St Collector 2-3 30 Yes
SW Commercial St Local 2 30 Yes
SW Hunziker St Collector 2 35 No
SW Scoffins Rd Collector 2-3 Not Posted No
In addition to the network described above,the Project has identified a Recommended Connectivity
Concept that includes the new local multimodal streets, proposed paths, and shared street connections to
facilitate the movement of people in and around the Downtown Tigard area.Appendix B illustrates the
Recommended Connectivity Concept.
Study Intersections
The Downtown Tigard Reimagined Plan area includes 11 study intersections analyzed for existing and future
motor vehicle traffic operations.These intersections include a mix of Oregon Department of Transportation
(ODOT) facilities and City of Tigard facilities.Table 2 describes the intersection jurisdiction and intersection
control.

Truck/Freight Network
OR99W is classified as a freight route in the Oregon Highway Plan and is part of the National Freight
network.OR99W within the Project area is identified as a Reduction Review (ORS 366.215) Route; however,
it is not identified as a High Clearance Route.Trucks compose approximately 3.8 percent of traffic on
OR99W within the Project area. None of the local streets within the Project are part of the National or OHP
Freight network.
Pedestrian Network and Network Gaps
The City of Tigard's TSP documents the pedestrian network and network gaps within the Project area. Figure
3 illustrates the existing pedestrian and planned pedestrian network for the Project area3.

Tigard Downtown Reimagined Existing Transportation Network
Within the Downtown Tigard Reimagined study area,there are streets with complete sidewalks on both
sides,streets with a complete sidewalk on one side, and streets with no complete sidewalks.There is also
the Tigard Heritage Trail and the Fanno Creek Trail, the latter of which has overhead flashing beacons at its
crossing at SW Hall Boulevard and a rectangular rapid flashing beacon at its crossing with SW Main Street.
Streets with complete sidewalks provide a mixture of curb-tight sidewalks as well as sidewalks that are set
back from the curb with street trees or stormwater retention facilities.SW Burnham Street has four midblock
crosswalks,three of which include brick pavers on an asphalt street, as well as curb extensions to shorten
the pedestrian crossing distance.Similarly, all of the crosswalks on SW Main Street on the west side of the
railroad tracks use brick pavers to denote crossings at either intersections or at midblock locations.
Streets with complete sidewalks on one side of the street are somewhat common within the study area.
Among the study area streets,SW Hall Boulevard has a complete sidewalk on the west side of the street,
but a limited amount of sidewalk on the east side of the street south of SW Hunziker Street. On SW Hunziker
Street,there is a complete sidewalk on the north side of the street and a partially complete sidewalk on the
south side of the street.SW Tigard Street has a complete sidewalk on the north side of the street, but the
south side of the street only has a complete sidewalk near the SW Main Street intersection.
Streets that do not have complete sidewalks vary in where these facilities are lacking. Highway 99W
through downtown Tigard has no sidewalks on the bridge over the railroad tracks,but there are sidewalks
on either side of the bridge.SW Ash Avenue east of the railroad tracks has no sidewalks at all.And SW
Scoffins Street has complete sidewalks north of SW Ash Avenue but no sidewalks south of Ash Avenue.
Bicycle Network and Network Gaps
The City of Tigard's TSP documents the bicycle network and network gaps within the Project area. Figure 4
illustrates the existing bicycle and planned bicycle network for the Project area.
On-street bicycle lanes are located on Highway 99W,SW Hall Boulevard, and SW Greenburg Road.
Highway 99W is classified as a principal arterial,and SW Hall Boulevard and SW Greenburg Road are both
classified as arterials.The Highway 99W bridge over the railroad does not include bicycle lanes.
For the remaining street network within the study area, bicyclists must share the roadway with vehicles.SW
Main Street,SW Hunziker Street,SW Burnham Street,and SW Scoffins Street are all classified as collector
roadways with shared bicycle and vehicular facilities.The remaining streets in the study area are
neighborhood roadways.
As shown in Figure 4,two key active transportation connections are proposed to address existing gaps in
the active transportation network across the railroad.These proposed active transportation connections
include the SW Grant Avenue/SW 9th Avenue railroad undercrossing and the SW Ash Avenue railroad
overcrossing.
Addressing these active transportation gaps will increase active transportation access in the study area
and improve larger active transportation connectivity by providing lower stress, higher comfortable
connections accessible to a broader range of populations.Today,the only grade separated railroad
crossing within the study area is OR99W which as described previously, does not include sidewalks or bike
lanes.

American with Disability Act (ADA) Gaps
The following section summarizes the presence and compliance of ADA facilities located along the state
highways located in the Project area.The majority of intersections are equipped with ADA infrastructure
(ramps, push buttons, detectable warning systems), but based on further review,do not meet ADA
compliance.
Pedestrian Ramps
The following intersections do not meet ADA ramp compliance for all corners of the intersection.
• OR99W/SW McKenzie Street
• OR99W/SW Johnson Street/SW Main Street
• OR99W/OR141 (Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway)
• OR99W/OR217 southbound ramps
• OR141 (Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway)/SW Commercial Street
The following intersections do not meet ADA ramp compliance for most corners of the intersection.
• OR99W/SW Greenburg Road/Main Street-the northwest corner ramp meets ADA compliance;all
other corners do not.
• OR141 (Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway)/SW Hunziker Road-the northeast corner ramp
meets ADA compliance; all other corners do not.
• OR141 (Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway)/SW Scoffins Street-the southwest corner ramp
meets ADA compliance; all other corners do not.
• OR141 (Hall Boulevard/Beaverton-Tualatin Highway)/SW Burnham Street-the northeast corner of
ramp meets ADA compliance; all other corners do not.
Push Buttons
Push buttons are located at all state highway intersections within the Project area; however, all push
buttons are flagged as "poor" for functional condition and lack audible signal, making them not
compliance to ADA standards.
ADA information including ramp compliance, push button information is provided on ODOT's TransGlS
website: ODOT TransGlS (state.or.us).
Sidewalks
Sidewalk conditions on OR99W and OR141 were evaluated as part of the Multimodal Transportation
Summary.As previously state and shown in Figure 3,sidewalk gaps are present along OR99W.Where
sidewalks exist,they often do not meet ADA compliance for facility widths due to clearance requirements
or pinch points (mailboxes, utility poles,signage,railings, etc.)
There remains a need to close sidewalk and ADA infrastructure gaps,consistent with the projects and
priorities expressed in the City's TSP.

Tigard Downtown Reimagined Existing Transportation Network
Transit Network and Network Gaps
Transit service in Downtown Tigard is provided by TriMet and Yamhill County Transit.
There are seven bus lines and one commuter rail line across two transit agencies that serve the Project
area.These include two frequent service TriMet bus routes (Line 12 and Line 76), as well as one-seat service
to downtown Portland, Beaverton,Tualatin, Lake Oswego, Wilsonville,and McMinnville. Table 3 includes
service details for each transit route within the downtown Tigard study area.
Each of these transit routes serves the Tigard Transit Center,which is located on SW Commercial Street to
the south of SW Main Street.Tigard Transit Center includes a park and ride,and bike lockers/bike racks.
Figure 5 illustrates the existing and planned transit network.

Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project
Metro,TriMet, and the Federal Transit Administration completed the Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project in January 2022.The FEIS identified a preferred route
through downtown Tigard,beginning with an at-grade crossing of SW Hunziker Street at SW Knoll Drive,then
running adjacent to SW Hall Boulevard to SW Commercial Street,where the alignment turns to the south
and runs along the eastside of the existing railroad tracks. Figure 5 includes the routing for the proposed
Southwest Corridor project.
The Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project was part of a larger transportation funding measure on the
November 2020 ballot across the entire Metro region.That measure failed to pass,so design work on the
Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project has been paused.

Transit Bottlenecks
During the summer of 2023,TriMet and Metro launched the "Better Bus" program designed to make bus
travel more effective and more attractive using a data-driven approach. Preliminary analysis identified in
the Better Bus:Simplified Systemwide Review web-based tool provides a detailed look at six evaluation
metrics related to transit operations on the entire TriMet bus system.This data was derived from an initial
screening of the entire TriMet bus system with exclusion of some geographic locations (e.g.,transit mall,
Tilikum Crossing,transit centers). High &medium delay locations were identified through the application of
a scoring approach using 20 values:four delay and travel time metrics and five time periods.The analysis
divided the TriMet service area into 14 subareas and the top 20%of segments within each subarea were
selected and incorporated into the Better Bus:Simplified Systemwide Review web-based tool.
Exhibit 1 shows Passenger Delay (passenger hours) per mile per day and Exhibit 2 shows travel time
variability (ratio of run times) in Downtown Tigard where transit service is provided.

EXISTING DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY OF THE CFA
Section 18.650.050 Development Standards of the City's Development Code set the standards for the
existing maximum development capacity.The building height maximums and residential density maximums
are the most significant development standards impacting development capacity.These standards are
summarized below for each of the four(4) subareas within Downtown Tigard.

One of the primary proposed changes as part of the Project is to eliminate the maximum residential density
and rely on maximum building heights and setbacks.

November 6,2023 Page 17
Tigard Downtown Reimagined Proposed Development Capacity of CFA
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY OF CFA
The Project study area has a very small supply of buildable (i.e.,vacant) land. Much of what is identified as
having a high level of redevelopment potential is in the Fanno Creek vegetated corridor and is not
developable.
The two primary changes resulting from the adoption of the Project and updates to the comprehensive
plan that could affect development capacity,in addition to other changes affecting the character of
future development,are:
• Modifications to the City's Development Code to eliminate residential density maximums.
• Modifications to the subarea boundaries within the Downtown Tigard area and expansion of the
downtown zoning to adjacent parcels within the Project area east of SW Hall Boulevard to reflect the
preferred land use concept more closely. For example,the sites near the future light rail station are
shown with industrial zoning but the preferred concept includes 6-12 story development.
Modifications to the City's Development Code
As described earlier,the Project proposes to eliminate maximum residential densities currently set for the
downtown subareas and identified within Table 18.650.050 Development Standards in the City's
Development Code
Building height maximums are currently set at 80 feet (-7 stories) for the Main Street,Scoffins/Commercial,
and Fanno/Burnham subareas and 45 feet (-4 stories) for the 99W/Hall Corridor subarea and any areas
within 200 feet of Fanno Creek Park. Building heights by subarea are proposed to be refined as shown in
Figure 6.The maximum proposed building heights are primarily 6 stories with some areas up to 8 stories and
12 stories near the future Light Rail Station.
Modifications to Subarea Boundaries
The proposed modifications to the subarea boundaries within Downtown Tigard and expansion of the MU-
CBD zoning district boundary are identified as part of the Preferred Land Use Concept.This overlay,
illustrated in Figure 6 identifies typologies,general land use types,district areas, and building story
recommendations.

Tigard Downtown Reimagined Summary of Additional Motor Vehicle Traffic
SUMMARY OF ADDITIONAL MOTOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC
As described earlier,the land use changes associated with the Project will be almost exclusively focused
on modifying the subarea boundaries within the existing Downtown zone(MU-CBD),which covers nearly
the entire Project Area,and changing the zoning for the properties east of SW Hall Boulevard from industrial
to urban mixed-use allowing buildings between 6-12 stories in height.
As a result,the additional motor vehicle traffic generated by the adoption of the Project is primary focused
on two changes:
• Refinement of building height maximums and boundary expansion in the Hall Gateway District to
accommodate future transit-oriented development.
• Boundary expansion of the Burnham Mixed-Use District to include the Tigard City Library.
Hall Gateway District
The Hall Gateway District is anticipated to include future large-scale transit-oriented development that
includes a relocated on-street bus transit center and the addition of a light rail station at Hall Boulevard.
The Project also proposes expanding the boundary of the Hall Gateway District southwest of SW Hall
Boulevard.
The feasibility of the Hall Gateway District being built out to 6 to 12 story buildings relies on the development
of these non-motorized transportation facilities to attract this level of development and make feasible from
a market standpoint. If investment like the relocated on-street bus transit center and light rail station do not
come to fruition,it is unlikely that development consistent with this plan in the proposed Hall Gateway
District would be catalyzed. Because the development associated with the proposed Hall Gateway District
is heavily dependent on the investment in these active transportation facilities,the increase in motor
vehicle trips is negligible. For the negligible amount of increased motor vehicle trips generated by the
proposed changes to the Hall Gateway District,the currently planned mitigation and transportation
improvement projects identified in Appendix A are anticipated to address the additional vehicular trip
impacts.
Burnham Mixed-Use District
The primary change to the Burnham Mixed-Use District is the expansion easterly across SW Hall Boulevard. In
this location, high-intensity mixed-use housing with active ground floor is encouraged. Because the Tigard
Downtown Plan District Sub-Areas Map already includes most of the Burnham Mixed-use District area,
additional trips are only associated with the newly added boundary east of SW Hall Boulevard. Because of
the proximity to the planned transit and light-rail station improvements,the increase in motor vehicle trips is
negligible. For the negligible amount of increased motor vehicle trips generated by the proposed changes
to the Burnham Mixed-Use District,the currently planned mitigation and transportation improvement
projects identified in Appendix A are anticipated to address the additional vehicular trip impacts.
Kittelson&Associates,Inc.

Tigard Downtown Reimagined Summary of Additional Motor Vehicle Traffic
Existing Transportation Analysis Zones Assumptions
Metro maintains the travel demand model that estimates current and future housing and employment in
the region.The estimates are based on the coordinated population forecast,economic forecasts, land use
plans,assumptions and desires about how areas will develop or redevelop.Model development and
refinement is completed in coordination with local jurisdictions.
The Project study area is primarily covered by four different transportation analysis zones (TAZ) in the model.
The table below shows the location of these four TAZs in downtown Tigard and summarizes the projected
increase in number of households and in employment between 2015 and 2040.Table 4 below provides
further details on household and employment growth.
Table 4:Transportation Analysis Zones-Downtown Tigard
TAZ 2015 2040 Household 2015 2040 Employment
Households Households Increase Employment Employment Increase
1,039 95 95 0 3,252 3,555 303
1,041 241 904 663 674 1,335 661
1,042 264 1,141 877 505 1,038 533
1,043 117 341 224 522 735 213
Total 717 2,481 1,764 4,953 6,663 1,710
As shown above,growth of approximately 1,764 households and 1,710 employment is projected for the
study area. For context, approximately 28 six-story buildings with 10 units per floor is equivalent to 1,700
households.
The proposed changes associated with the Project(subarea boundary and development code
modifications)are not anticipated to create new vehicular trips beyond what's anticipated in the 2040
travel demand model. Instead,these changes are proposed to right-size the development code standards
that currently limit the reality of the forecasted development from occurring.
The maximum development capacity is unclear at this time; however,these proposed changes are not
anticipated to result in 20-year growth exceeding what is currently allocated in the Metro Travel Demand
Model.The maximum development capacity is based on full utilization within downtown. Current market
conditions and ownerships are not expected to deliver such a level of development within the next 20
years.
Note:An Existing and Future Traffic Conditions Report and Multimodal Transportation and Safety Report
(Reference 1) was produced by the Project team. The report documents the Existing Year 2022 and Future
Year 2040 traffic conditions.

Tigard Downtown Reimagined Summary of Fatal and Serious Injury Crashes
SUMMARY OF FATAL AND SERIOUS INJURY CRASHES
A summary of fatal and serious injury (Injury A) crashes within the CFA in the five most recent years where
data is available is provided below.
There were 306 reported crashes within the Project study area between January 1,2016 and December 31,
2020. Only crashes that were reported to the police are included below;crashes that resulted in minimal to
no vehicular damage with no injury or possible injury may not be reported.The 306 documented crashes
are broken down by injury severity below.
• 1 fatal crash
• 8 serious injury crashes
• 29 minor injury crashes
• 126 possible injury crashes
• 142 non-injury crashes
Of these 306 crashes reported within the study area, 197 crashes were reported along Highway 99W, and
93 crashes were reported along SW Hall Boulevard. With 36 reported crashes at the SW Hall
Boulevard/Highway 99W intersection,there were a total of 254 crashes on these two corridors alone,
representing 83 percent of all crashes within the downtown Tigard study area from 2016 to 2020.
Fatal and Severe Injury A Crashes
One fatal crash was reported in the Project study area during the most recent five-year analysis period.The
fatal crash occurred on March 13th,2018, at 5 PM under clear and dry conditions on SW Hall Boulevard
south of SW Scoffins Street.The crash,which involved three vehicles,occurred when a southbound vehicle
rear-ended another southbound vehicle.A horizontal curve in the road is present at this location,which the
police report indicates to be a factor in the crash. In addition to the crash fatality,one driver suffered a
possible injury,and another driver was not injured.
The eight serious injury crashes are detailed in Table 5 below. Of these eight crashes,six occurred on an
ODOT facility.There were no reported serious injury crashes in 2019 or 2020.Three of the serious injury
crashes involved a motorcycle,one involved a bicyclist, and one involved a pedestrian.There was only
one serious injury crash that involved two or more vehicles.Three of the crashes occurred at the Highway
99W/SW Hall Boulevard intersection.

ODOT Safety Priority Index System
The Safety Priority Index System (SPIS) is a method originally developed in 1986 by the Oregon Department
of Transportation (ODOT) for identifying potential safety problems on state highways.The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) accepted SPIS as fulfilling the requirements of the Highway Safety Improvement
Program (HSIP).
ODOT's TransGIS website provides SPIS data from 2016 to 2020. Based on a review,the following locations
within the Project study area are identified as SPIS sites:
• SW Main Street/SW Johnson Street/OR99W
• SW Main Street/SW Greenburg Road/OR99W
• SW Hall Boulevard (Beaverton-Tualatin Highway No. 141)/OR99W

Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project
Metro,TriMet, and the Federal Transit Administration completed the Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project in January 2022.The FEIS identified a preferred route
through downtown Tigard,beginning with an at-grade crossing of SW Hunziker Street at SW Knoll Drive,then
running adjacent to SW Hall Boulevard to SW Commercial Street,where the alignment turns to the south
and runs along the eastside of the existing railroad tracks.
The Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project was part of a larger transportation funding measure on the

Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project has been paused.
City of Tigard Transportation Safety Action Plan 2019
The Tigard Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP),completed in September 2019,examined historic crash
data across the city to identify future roadway investments to address safety concerns.Of the six locations
with site-specific treatments,the segment of Highway 99W from SW Main Street/SW Greenburg Road to SW
Hall Boulevard falls within the Project study area.
The TSAP recognizes that there are limited opportunities for safety-focused improvements along this
segment because Highway 99W is a seven-lane facility and the Highway 99W/SW Hall Boulevard and
Highway 99W/SW Main Street/SW Greenburg Road intersections each have more than 40,000 vehicles that
enter each day. However,the TSAP identifies two opportunities for safety-focused improvements-an
access management evaluation along Highway 99W in this corridor, and an improvement pedestrian
crossing at the SW Greenburg Road/SW Center Street intersection, including curb extensions and a median
refuge island.
City of Tigard Transportation System Plan 2022
Tigard on the Move,the city's Transportation System Plan (TSP) was completed in January 2022 and creates
a list of transportation projects and programs for the city to implement with available funding over the next
20 years. Projects are grouped into six categories:stronger streets network, urban upgrades and active
transportation, connectivity,transit,transportation systems management and operations (TSMO), and
special study areas.
TSP Chapter 6. Recommended Investments contains the list of projects.
TriMet Pedestrian Plan, 2020
TriMet's Pedestrian Plan focuses on three primary objectives: Removing barriers to riding transit, improving
partnership between cities,counties, and the State,as well as equipping partnering agencies with an
access-to-transit lens to help inform their decision-making and support future funding request.
TriMet's Pedestrian Plan identifies needs in and around Downtown Tigard including previously identified
projects (sidewalk infill, new roadways and new trails identified in existing plans) and identified gaps
(sidewalk gaps identified through the TriMet Pedestrian Plan). These projects are identified in Appendix E,
Appendix F,and Appendix G.
Washington County Transportation System Plan 2019
The Washington County Transportation System Plan (TSP) Update provides direct guidance on how to build,
operate, and maintain Washington County's major roadway network,while addressing complementary
elements of the larger transportation system-including transit, multi-use trails,state highways and freight
railroads-maintained by other entities.
No projects are identified within the Project study area based on a review of the Washington Count TSP
Update.
