EXHIBIT A City of Tigard Project Descriptions MSTIP Transportation Capital Program 1. WALNUT STREET(116`'Avenue to Tiedeman Avenue)—Walnut Street is a collector providing access to,and connection between Barrows Road(and eventually Scholls Ferry Road)and Highway 99W.The street is incapable of serving the existing traffic and future transportation needs.Motorists typically face difficult and unsafe traffic movements because of a narrow roadway,lack of turn-lanes and substandard vertical sight distances.In addition,the street is adjacent to Fowler Middle School, yet does not have sidewalks to allow students to safely walk to school. This project proposes to widen the existing narrow 2-lane facility to a 3-lane street including a continuous dual left-turn lane.The project also includes construction of curbtight sidewalks,bike lanes,street lights,retaining walls,undergrounding of utilities and landscaping.The project begins at the west approach to Tiedeman Avenue and proceeds to 116th Avenue(approximately 2,600 lineal feet of street improvements)to match up with the improved section of Walnut Street constructed as part of the 12151 Avenue intersection improvements. The project design has been completed.The right-of-way acquisition is well underway and is scheduled to be completed by June 2005.Improvements to Walnut Street between 135`h and 121st Avenue will be performed by Washington County beginning early 2005 as part of the Major Street Transportation Program(MSTIP3) approved by voters in 1995.Construction of this project to fill in the remaining substandard gap between 116th and Tiedeman will provide a continuous improved street that can accommodate motorists,bicyclists and pedestrians from Tiedeman Avenue to 135th Avenue. 2. BURNHAM STREET(Main Street to Hall Boulevard)—Burnham Street is a collector that runs in a southeasterly direction and connects Main Street and Hall Boulevard.The street width is substandard and various segments of the street have no sidewalks or offer narrow shoulders forcing pedestrians to walk along the edges of travel lanes. The proposed improvements to Burnham Street involve widening of the street to a 3- lane roadway including a continuous center-turn lane.The improvements also include curbtight sidewalks,bike lanes,undergrounding of utilities,installation of street lights,and landscaping.The length of the prof ect is approximately 2,100 lineal feet. jThe engineering design is approximately 50%complete awaiting the completion of i the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan currently in the initial stages.The design of Burnham Street will be completed to conform to the recommendations of the Downtown Improvement Plan. Of the rights-of-way that need to be acquired for the project,two properties have been purchased entirely by the City in 2001.The remaining rights-of-way will be acquired Page 2 of 3 after the project design has been substantially completed and the full extent of the land acquisition has been identified. 3. GREENBURG ROAD(Shady Lane to Tiedeman Avenue)—Greenburg Road is an arterial that nuts in a northerly direction and connects the Washington Square Regional Center with Highway 99W to the south and Hall Boulevard to the north.It is currently a heavily congested 3-lane roadway that requires widening to handle the existing and future traffic into and out of the regional center. This project proposes to widen the street to a 5-lane facility(between Shady Lane and Tiedeman Avenue)with bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides,reconstruct the street for proper vertical alignment,replace the signal systems at Cascade Boulevard and Tiedeman Avenue,and remove and replace an existing bridge at Ash Creek.The proposed improvements also include modification of the existing signing and striping on Greenburg Road between Washington Square Drive and Shady Lane and construction of transitions for the approaches at the ends of the project.The total length of project for full improvements is approximately 1,400 lineal feet including approaches to the Greenburg/Tiedeman intersection.However,because of minor modifications which may be necessary all the way to Washington Square Drive,the project limits extend over 4,000 lineal feet. Selection of a consultant to perform the engineering design and right-of-way acquisition is being accomplished using Federal guidelines.The project design and land acquisition are funded through federal funding obtained through the MTIP (Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program)project solicitation process in the amount of$660,000 with Tigard providing $85,000 in matching funds for a total amount of$745,000.The project has been submitted for construction funding under the 2006-09 MTIP funds in the amount of$1,000,000.Because of the high estimated cost of this project,use of MSTIP funds to supplement the available funding is essential for the construction of the project.If the MTIP funds are approved for construction,the MSTIP funding would be counted as local matching funds for the project. i:`�*gVumuiai apama aummmueaHm a-meap ogled aeaiP�%.00e 1 w F : i F ` tr Page 3 of 3
