Use, Suburban Experiment Big Box Land Use – It’s the Parking, Growth Ponzi Scheme,
Recommendations: Appeal Parking Mandates and Subsidies, Priority: Incremental Housing,

Walkability is not the end goal rather the smartest choice a city can make. Tiffany noted that Detroit
had an issue funding infrastructure after the mass exodus of the auto industry to other countries
leaving many residents without an income.
5. MOTHERLOAD SHOWING DISCUSSION
Tiffany played two trailers from the Motherload movie. Shawne briefly shared his introduction into
cargo bikes and then the electric version. He noted they are part of disaster relief as there will be
many roads that will be inaccessible via car. He has over 30,000 miles on cargo bikes and can make a
commute downtown many times faster than if he drove. Members voiced approval for a showing of
the movie and opening it to the public. Councilor Robbins noted recent expanded options for small
businesses in neighborhoods.
6. TTAC & TCAC COMBINED MEETING
Tiffany noted interest by TCAC to have a couple joint meetings each year where overlapping
updates and advocacy for shared areas of interest like the Hall Blvd. jurisdictional transfer, 72nd Ave.,
Fanno Creek and Red Rock trails, and the electrical mobility project. The June 4th meeting was
selected as the first combined meeting to be held in Town Hall with hybrid option.

7. AUGUST TOUR OPTIONS & DISCUSSION
A combined TTAC and TCAC tour will be held on August 13 in lieu of a meeting that month.
Tiffany shared a presentation with photos from the tour last year and offered potential locations to
visit. She also suggested multiple modes of transportation such as biking, transit, and vehicle with
groups meeting up for a light dinner.
8. HALL BLVD UPDATE
Tiffany noted ODOT directed staff to their website for Hall Blvd. updates, which she shared. The
Hall Blvd. Hwy. 217 overpass is now anticipated to reopen in August 2025. It was delayed due to a
construction issue they found. The reopening will eliminate the cut through traffic. ODOT has
installed the curb ramps, signal foundation, and lines necessary for a signal, Tigard is responsible for
installing the signal and the approval process is underway, though it may not be operational until
after construction is complete.
9. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
A. Tiffany shared the flyer for the 72nd Ave. neighborhood meeting. An at grade pedestrian
crossing was chosen though a culvert and bridge were also considered. In response to a
question from Jane, Tiffany stated Tigard does not have regulations in place governing the
maximum speed of bicycles on shared paths. This proposal uses a bike path separated from
the sidewalk to avoid conflicts with pedestrians. Tiffany also shared the Metro 2028-2030
Regional Flexible Fund Step 2 Public Comment survey webpage and encouraged members
to share the link and to complete the survey advocating for the North Dakota St. bridge.
