CONSIDER MINUTES The January 8, 2020 meeting Minutes were unanimously approved. 4. PUBLIC COMMENT – None. 5. COMPLETE STREETS IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE Dave discussed the updates to the Complete Streets Implementation Plan including timeframe, lead, partner(s), source and potential performance measures. Equity and greenhouse gas emissions will become more of a focus for projects. It was suggested to include a question(s) on the American Community Survey. Sarah, George, Alan and Holly volunteered to serve on a subcommittee to formulate recommendations on performance metrics. 6. TTAC 2020 WORK PLANNING Members discussed the draft Work Plan. March will focus on the Southwest Corridor (SWC) Conceptual Design Report. Dave will send the Memorandum of Understanding between TriMet and Tigard. He will also see if city staff are available for the future designated topics. 7. INFORMATION SHARING A. Alan provided a list of upcoming SWC meeting including February 12 and March 2. B. The Vision Zero campaign in Sweden recognizes that humans make mistakes and incorporates design features on the road not considered much in the U.S. It takes into consideration human mistakes and tries to eliminate the risk for injury or death to pedestrians and bicyclists.

Tigard Complete Streets POLICY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Introduction The City of Tigard’s Strategic Plan, adopted in November of 2014 (Resolution No. 14-53), provides clear guidance for the city’s priorities over a 20-year period. At its heart, the Strategic Plan sets forth a vision for Tigard to build its unique identity as the most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest. Achieving this outcome requires a practical, policy-driven “Complete Streets” approach that reconsiders how Tigard plans and invests in its transportation system. A “Complete Streets” philosophy and approach to street design, operation, and maintenance is a cornerstone of equitable transportation development and decision-making. Streets that are complete work for people of all ages and abilities regardless of how they get around –walking, bicycling, mobility aid, transit, or vehicle. When considering if a street (or a transportation system) is complete, people are put first. 3 A walkable community promotes healthy inter- connected lives. Without complete sidewalks, people are unable to travel conveniently on foot. An auto centric transportation system discourages walking, bicycling and transit use. Over the past 15 years, more than 1,400 U.S. cities have developed and adopted Complete Streets Policies to create more equitable transportation systems and facilities. These policies help cities prioritize the movement of people on urban and suburban streets by repairing systemic deficiencies that make it difficult for people to walk, bike, and use transit. C MPLETE S TR E E TS T I G A R D In late 2018, the City of Tigard kicked-off a process to develop a Complete Streets Policy. The Tigard Complete Streets Policy and Implementation Plan were developed during a six- month collaborative process involving staff from across the organization, agency partners, elected officials, and the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC). Input was also gathered from the public through an online survey and the “Let’s Talk Transportation” public open house. 4 Complete Streets Policy Development Process Setting the stage for the process, the project team worked with stakeholders to develop a Complete Streets Policy Vision Statement responding to the question, “What does Tigard’s ideal transportation system look like in 10-20 years?” “Tigard is a vibrant and healthy community where people of all ages and abilities can travel safely, efficiently and comfortably on a well-connected and optimized multi- modal network of roads, trails, and paths.” There is no doubt that a disparity exists between the current reality of Tigard’s transportation system and the desired future state. However, this aspirational vision aligns the community, staff, and elected officials in setting policy and supporting strategic decision-making that begins to move the city toward its ideal transportation system. TTAC members provide input on the policy. Tigard street crew fills a sidewalk gap. The policy addresses past decision-making that has resulted in a transportation network with many miles of incomplete streets –those without safe places to walk, bike, or take public transportation. It does so by outlining a clear vision and intent to serve all road users; by requiring complete networks; by requiring the use of best practice in design; by supporting and linking to Tigard’s land use planning goals; by requiring internal and jurisdictional coordination; and by requiring the measurement of policy performance over time. The policy applies to all facilities and the full lifecycle of project development and operation; it requires all agencies over which the city has permitting authority to comply with the policy; and it provides clear guidance as to exemptions and exceptions in limited cases. And finally, it calls for the policy to be implemented with a specific plan and activities. Tigard Complete Streets POLICY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Implementation Plan 5 Implementation of Tigard’s Complete Streets Policy requires active engagement and collabora- tion between city departments, agency partners, community members, and the Tigard Transpor- tation Advisory Committee (TTAC). Each group bears some level of responsibility for working towards the shared vision presented by the policy. Oversight of implementation is the shared responsibility of staff, agency partners, community members, and TTAC. A department is identified as the “Lead Agency” responsible for initiating and managing a each activity. “Partner Agencies” are identified as such; they are responsible for supporting particular activities. TTAC will work with staff to provide oversight and annual reporting on implementation activities. Neighborhood trails are a key part of Tigard’s unique identity. As described in the Policy, the Complete Streets Implementation Plan is an administrative document intended to be updated every three to five year by city staff with guidance from TTAC. Sources for implementation activities included input from TTAC and the public; existing adopted plans such as the TSP; Tigard’s 2014-2034 Strategic Plan; and the 2019-2021 City Council goals. The result is a list of 20 refined activities prioritized based on the expected start date.

It is estimated that roughly 500’ of roadway sustained significant damage during a recent water main break. The erosi ve forces of water from the water main break caused erosion of a substantial amount of gravel and soil from underneath the pavement, leaving large voids and the potential for sink holes. Detour Route: The signed detour route for this road closure will be Gaarde Street, to 129th Avenue, to Moningstar Drive, to Greenfield Drive. The city is currently working with consultants to determine the structural integrity of the roadway, and the extent of subterranean damage. Once the damage is understood, the city will put together a plan to reopen the road. However, needed repairs could take six months or more.

Tigard Street Heritage Trail Tigard Street Heritage Trail will have intermittent trail closures during construction close out . 72nd Ave and Spruce St Topping Subdivision is under construction at 72nd Ave and Spruce St. Expect intermittent lane closures with flagging on both 72nd Ave and Spruce St over the next few weeks as utilities are installed. River Terrace Area Construction • Traffic on Roy Rogers Rd has been shifted to the east side of the roadway onto the newly widened portion, and work begun on installing a waterline and widening the west side of the road. • River Terrace subdivisions are under construction particularly on the east side of Roy Rogers Rd south of Scholls Ferry Rd. See https://www.tigard-or.gov/river_terrace.php for more information. • A new sewer line is being installed along Clementine Street, out to Roy Rogers Rd and will impact Clementine Street, a section of Pu mpkin Valley Terrace, and Sabrina Ave. Expect some delays and short closures while work is in the roadway. • A contractor is building a new subdivision on the west side of 150th Ave south of Hawksridge. There are other significant road, sewer and water projects underway or planned in the area. Visit GetUsThere.org for information and updates.
