1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. The meeting was held at the Tigard
Library in the 2nd floor conference room with a hybrid MS Teams option.
2. CONSIDER MINUTES
The June 5, 2024, meeting Minutes were unanimously approved.
3. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A
4. HALL BLVD UPDATE
Tiffany gave a brief presentation that included the recent timeline and the updates. The request was
recommended for funding by the new State Jurisdictional Transfer Committee to the legislature, If
approved, funding will have to be determined and the actual award may differ from the request. The
ask is for $50M and the total cost is estimated at $81M. ODOT has $18.5M work programmed and
Tigard’s match will be $12.5M over twenty years through maintenance costs.
5. SAFE STREETS ACTION PLAN & TRAFFIC CALMING
Tiffany shared a presentation that included the Safe Streets postcard, the Traffic Management Plan
Schedule, and Upcoming Dates. A Safe Streets Action Plan survey will be ready soon. It was noted
that the survey, crash data, and other public feedback will all assist in making the decisions.
6. MURDOCK ST/SRTS TEMPLETON/TWALITY
Jason Wuertz gave a presentation and noted the two projects were merged and will be constructed
as a single project. He discussed the Project Overview to improve connectivity to and around the
schools and the different segments: East Butte Heritage Park, Murdock St. Improvements, SW
McDonald St./SW Omara St./SW 98th Ave., SW 97th Ave and SW Mountain View Ln, and SW
Sattler Street/SW 96th Ave. Traffic calming along SW McDonald will be completed as part of that
project. The lighting to be installed in the East Butte Heritage Park is a pilot project with a new type
of lighting and could be used along other trails if it works well. There will also be a
pedestrian/bicyclist bollard collecting traffic count year-round. Construction is expected spring and
summer 2025.

7. SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROGRAM UPDATES
Lauriel gave a brief introduction and shared her background. She gave a presentation on the SRTS
program that included the Engagement, Education, Encouragement, Engineering & Evaluation, and
Upcoming Events. Each school maintains a SRTS Action Plan which includes their priorities to help
more students walk, roll, or ride a school bus to and from school. Parent involvement in leading a
group of pedestrians or bicyclists to/from school is one of the methods used to lower vehicular
traffic.
8. BUS TOUR RECAP & FEEDBACK
Tiffany shared a presentation with photos from the bus trip last month. Members discussed visiting
some of the same sites next year to see the completed project or the progress since the last visit.
Using varied public transportation modes for future visits to sites was of interest to members. There
were areas where a portable microphone would be helpful due to traffic noise.
9. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
A. A survey will be sent to determine if December 3 or 10 works best for members attending
the annual Joint Meeting with Council.
B. Shawne asked about the Locust project completion. Courtney will check with the project
manager, but she believes it is near completion with striping taking place next week. The
work on Lincoln is included with the ADA project but will not be completed until next year.
C. David asked about the potholes on 72nd near Lowes. Courtney will have to check the
jurisdiction, but it may be ODOT’s as maintenance agreements vary on roads over ODOT
facilities. Courtney will check on the potholes at Bonita and 72nd.
D. .Alan asked about the sidewalk infills along Hwy 99 as there are many issues with trip
hazards and around poles rather than a straight pathway. Courtney and Tiffany will talk to
ODOT and share the pictures Alan took. The goal is to have ODOT provide a project
update perhaps at the next meeting.
10. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
