RESOLUTION NO. 87-q�'
A RESOLUTION OF THE TIGARD CITY COUNCIL SUPPORTING AMENDMENTS TO THE REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION PLAN AS PROPOSED BY THE SOUFHWEST CORRIDOR STUDY
WHEREAS, on April 15, 1987, the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on
Transportation (JPACT) will hold a public hearing on the draft of the
Southwest Corridor Study Conclusions, Recommendations, and Evaluations of
Alternatives Report; and
WHEREAS, the Tigard City Council has previously received the findings of the
Southwest Corridor Study at a meeting of December 1, 1986, and has reviewed
the Conclusions and Recommendations being considered by JPACT, including
recommended amendments to the Regional Transportation Plan; and
WHEREAS, it appears to the City Council that Washington County, as a major
growth area in the Portland metropolitan region, is projected to experience
severe traffic pressures particularly in the regional corridors; and
WHEREAS, it appears to the City Council that without adequate improvements to
the transportation system unacceptable levels of traffic congestion will
develop, access to job and labor force markets will deteriorate, neighborhood
traffic problems will grow and ultimately economic growth will be curtailed;
and
WHEREAS, it appears to the City Council that the most cost-effective method of
serving this growth is through a combination of improvements to the regi:nal
freeway and arterial system, improvements to the local road network, and
transit service expansion;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Tigard City Council that:
Section 1: The City Council fully supports the amendments to the Regional
Transportation Plan proposed in the Conclusions and
Recommendations of the Southwest Corridor Study.
Section 2: The City Recorder is hereby directed to transmit copies of this
Resolution and Order to the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on
Transportation (JPACT) and to the Metro Council.
