CALL TO ORDER Chair Watkins called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm. The meeting was held in the Tigard Library, 2nd Floor Conference Room, at 13500 SW Hall Blvd. Joe recorded the roll. 2. INTRODUCTIONS 3. CONSIDER MINUTES The May 1, 2019 meeting Minutes were unanimously approved. 4. PUBLIC COMMENT – None. 5. SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR UPDATE Amparo gave an update on the project including timeline, groups structures decision-making, cost elements, connected transportation choices, station access, park and rides, considerations, conceptual design report, online engagement, and next steps. Currently the scope is over budget. There is a Federal Transit Administration requirement to identify a segment of the route that is the most cost effective with the greatest benefit, known as a minimum operable segment, that can be built within the scope if the project funding. A ballot measure for local funding will occur in 2020. The goal is a terminus in Bridgeport Village. Fiona noted that including pedestrian and bicyclist crossing on the Highway 217 overpass will be included in the conceptual design study. It will be a shared investment strategy requiring additional funding. TTAC will submit a letter of support for the inclusion. Shared parking ideas will be considered along the route as parking is expensive. 6. T2020 INVESTMENT MEASURE Tyler discussed the three major areas - affordable housing, protected parks and natural areas, and safe, reliable and affordable transportation. A regional housing bond passed in 2018. On June 6 Metro Council will decide whether to refer the renewal of the parks bond in 2019. In May 2020 Metro Council will decide whether to refer a regional transportation funding measure to voters which includes the Southwest Corridor project. If the polling does not indicate greater than a sixty percent approval rating it will not be referred. If the measure is not referred or not passed the Southwest Corridor project will not happen.

Visit the County’s project website at https://www.co.washington.or.us/LUT/TransportationProjects/beefbendculvert.cfm?page=Abo ut Cook Park Sewer Line A portion of Clean Water Services’ West Durham Basin Improvement Program has started at Cook Park. The project is replacing aging sewer interceptor pipes that help control water flow with larger, more resilient pipes to improve wastewater capacity. Work is on hold for the summer and will begin again in the fall. Work began near the wastewater plant and progresses westward. More info is on the CWS website: http://www.cleanwaterservices.org/about- us/projects/west-durham-basin-improvement-program/ Fanno Creek Trail – Woodard Park to Tiedeman Ave The new bridge and trail connecting the Fanno Creek Trail straight from Woodard Park across the creek to the existing crosswalk on Tiedeman Avenue is now open. This project completed a missing link of the Fanno Creek Greenway Trail, provided an ADA accessible route where it did not exist before, increased trail safety by lining the trail up with a safe crosswalk, and provided a very clear definition of the regional trail route at Tiedeman Avenue. Most of the project was paid for with a generous $800,000 grant from Metro. Upcoming projects in this location include safety changes at the crosswalk, adding refuge islands and more visible lighting. As soon as a long enough stretch of rain free weather happens, a new mural will also be painted on the retaining wall and bridge foundation to add character to the trail and to help discoura ge graffiti.
