7. CIP UPDATE
Joe Wisniewski provided an update and discussed potential process changes. He will return at a future
meeting to seek a recommendation for Council approval of the proposed budget. There are
approximately 300 lots in the River Terrace area that have completed sitework but remain undeveloped;
as a result, no System Development Charges (SDCs) have been collected to date. This uncertainty makes
future budget forecasting challenging, as the timing of development and associated fee collection is
unknown. There are currently nineteen active transportation projects with a projected allocation of $10.7
million. Some projects, such as the North Dakota St . bridge replacement, needed to be delayed due to
insufficient funding to complete construction. These delays can give the appearance of underspending or
underdelivery; however, in this case, the budgeted funds were shifted to the FY 2028 budget, when
additional funding will be available to address increased material costs. Replacement of the Tigard Street
bridge is anticipated to result in approximately one year of traffic impacts beginning this spring, with
public outreach efforts ramping up in the near future. Jane asked about modifying street lighting to
reduce light pollution. Joe noted that the lighting equipment is provided through a contract with PGE
and that he will need to confirm whether alternative fixtures are permitted. He also shared that
experimental trail lighting was installed after evaluating multiple factors, including wildlife, environmental
impacts, initial cost, and long-term maintenance and repair. While the selected fixtures were not the least
expensive or the most environmentally optimal option, they best balanced all considerations. The traffic
signal project at the Hall Blvd. and Pfaffle St. intersection is awaiting final signature approval from
ODOT; however, the project is otherwise ready to proceed. Another signal with pedestrian crossings will
be placed at the Bonita and Sequoia intersection along with pedestrian facilities which will be comp leted
by the county using MSTIP funds but will be city owned. Property owners along McDonald St. will
receive letters to setup one on one appointments to discuss their property impacts.
8. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
A. Shawne recommended the book Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the
Automobile.
B. Tiffany stated a TriMet survey link regarding route impacts.
C. Jane noted the pedestrian crossing at Omara and Hall seemed like it was a done deal and
questioned if the funding could better be used elsewhere. Joe Wisniewski noted ODOT has their
own process for determining project scope and any factors used in their decision. It was also
noted Council approved the plan.
D. Michael asked about the right-hand turn sign at Hall and 99W. Joe stated it was an ODOT safety
decision. Michael also asked about lack of striping on Omara and Joe noted it is listed as a
sharrow in the TSP.
9. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
