PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE PATHWAY PRESENTATION' - By Fowler Junior Ili�h (a) Jay Leet, Bill Dolbeer and nine Fowler Junior High School Students presented the results of their bikepath need survey on Tiedeman Road, east of the school to Gr. eenbur- Road . They class showed pictures and explained a series of survevs show- ing the need for additional bikepaths . The group worked to revise and rephase the 1974 pedestrian/bikepath plan to serve the greatest amount of people possible . The students reconi- mended to Council. the City Administrator and Director of Public Works do a cost study of Phase I of the plan as well as steps be taken to put a 2 or 3 year serial levy on the May ballot . (b) Councilman Cook commended the students on the excellent job they had done in researching the project and the presentation . He stated that 1% gas tax is set aside for bikepaths and that developers are currently beim; asked to install bi.icc-path/ sidewalks . (c) Mayor Bishop poi_ntedout that some of the streets in Phase I are county roads not vet annexed to the City . (d) Phil Iiirl , Park Board Chairman , encouraged the students to continue with their project limiting it to the streets that are in the City; expressing that he would like to see this become a tax levy. (e) Following much discussion Councilman Brian made a motion that Staff bring back to Council a cost and feasibility study of Phase I , identifying which streets are in and which are out of the City, an individual cost of each street , seconded by Councilman Cook. ( f) Public Works Director said he could have the figures ready for the March 16th Study Session . Approved by unanimous vote of Council . RECESS : 8 : 50 PM to 9 :04 Phi Councilman Cook left at 8 : 50 PM ' r 3 . JOINT PARK BOARD/COUNCIL, STUDY SESSION ` (a) Phil Hirl , Part-, Board Chairman, stated the Park Board had some x concerns and felt a meeting with the Council would clarify what was expected of them and what their roll as a citizens advisory group should be . The Board was particularly concerned regarding the following items : Park Board is not involved , to their satisfaction, in planning outside of existing parks , in ordinance proposals , review of private development plans adjacent to existing parks for possible impacts , dedications and improvement to parks . They would like to review proposals for private park developments , for proposed maintenance responsibilities and general. review of park plans . They are interested in greenway plans , dedication of park pro- posals , recommended bikepath development or alteration of s' greenways ; establishing priorities for completion of bikepath system. The Board was also concerned about lack of staff member to work with group and someone to seek out grants . (b) Councilman Brian suggested consideration be given to adding a staff member to the next budget , to be shared by several depart- t-` ments , to improve communications and to work on grants . (c) Councilwoman Stimler expressed concern that we are acquiring a lot of wetlands for parks which will never be developed . (d) Planning Director suggested Council consider passing a levy to support parks and bikepaths . Staff could work with Park Board to propose a levy request . (e) Councilman Brian requested Park Board to reassess the park plan ;v and bring it current with recent developments . As an example , he cited the Senior Citizen Center and Senior Iulti-Unit Home for the aged, changing recreational needs for that area . (f) General concensus of the Council was that the Park Board is an important advisory group to the City and that communications should improve . Meeting adjourned 10 :25 P.M.

P Committee History Briefly, the Washington County Commissioners chose to spend their 1% gasoline tax bicycle-pedestrian pathway money on areas close to schools. In order to determine the location of these proposed rates, the County requested the Tigard School District to make a priority listing of desired Pathways on county roads within the district.. The school district assigned its Safety and Transportation Coordinator, Bill Bieker, to the project and a list was compiled. As a result of this work the school district and the management of the City of Tigard felt a comprehensive pedestrian-bicycle plan for the Tigard area was needed. Bili Bieker from the school district and Steve Telfer, city manager, agreed to establish a committee for the Of developing a comprehenc;vo „�*1,�., , __ PufPose ------ r -�=-•may Pl_ll and members were selected from each elementary school attendance area. Others who have assisted the committee include Nick Hiebert, Tigard Dept. of Public Works; Wink Brooks, Tigard Planning Director, and Steve Oppenheim, Director of Bikeway Planning, C.R.A.G. Norm Hartman, a Tigard Planning Commissioner, is a member of our committee. Criteria far Path Selection In determining where routes were to be located, the committee chose the following criteria, I. . to reduce hazards that exist on present roads 2. to provide safe,accessto schools, recreation areas and major shopping areas 3. to develop the possibility of.walking to school rather than riding, thereby eliminating some school bus transportation 4. to serve the greatest number of potential users S. to provide safety for imalkers and bike riders to summer activities �- which require transportation by auto t a 6. to establish pedestrian access to mass transportation Routes considered were only within the Tigard School District boundaries. The City Planning Staff has recommended additional routes to complete our Plan and create a total bicycle-pedestrian pathway system within the Tigard planning area. We have reviewed and approved the location and phasing of routes proposed by the staff. The City Staff's criteria for route selection were as follows: 1. to reflect proposed regional pedestrian-bicycle routing through the Tigard area 2. to reflect the Greenway System proposed in the Tigard Community Plan i - 3. to provide better pedestrian-bicycle access around and through certain neighborhoods 4. to reflect recommendations embodied in the Ash Avenue-Downtown Neighborhood Plan S. to create better access to downtown Tigard from the Greenburg neighborhood i C$ e dL L—LIJW a rouic Selection criteria were measured against a relationship to y major pedestrian and bicycle traffic generators. These can be grouped into four general categories - schools, recreation points, shopping and public buildings. . These are described as follows: Schools: (Elementary) (Junior High) (High School) Durham Thomas R. Fowler Tigard Senior High Metzger Twa lity Phil Lewis 'St. Anthony's Templeton Charles F. Tigard Tualatin Recreation Points Cook.Park Shopping: Canterbury Square Sch®oi tennis courts Downtown Tigard Jack Park Downtown Tualatin Metzger Park Fred Meyer Tigard Swim Center K-Mart Twality tennis courts King City Tualatin Park Tigard Plaza Woodard Park Washington Square 3 Public Buildings: Library • Old Fowler Jr. High (tentative community center) Tigard Post Office Tualatin Post Office E School District 23J school population distribution maps were also utilized in routing the pathways. Recommended Development Phases The Committee has prioritized both the Committee's own route selections and the Planning staff's selections on the basis of public safety. It should be noted that the Committee does not feel that the proposed routing will be implemented in the exact order recommended, but rather some routes will be constructed out of phase and in conjunction with street and park projects. The Committee does recommend the described phasing as project priorities for any City initiated pedestrian-bicycle pathway program. i 1100, qc ato.r iyor I t Rp -.t%Tf�t Cc .7 METCAM AU -0-0 f no MCAVP WrOft COOP 0.

Through extensive review by many groups of people, community leaders, and families that are participating in the support of safe and adequate foot path and bicycle facilities through our adjoining communities, schools, and neighborhoods, the proposal here-adopted is a result of thoughtful consideration of population densities, the need for such accomodation, and the location of businesses, schools, and recreational facilities. Extensive support of a major bicycle route along Hall Blvd, to connect with other inner-community routes is overwhelming. I have received hundreds of signatures by petition and letters from adults and children asking for community bicycle path facilities that compliment exisiting routes of community travel. I have just recently received a number of individual letters from elderly members .of our community drawing attention to the fact that traffic hazard situations are paramount in our densely populated area where increasing vehicle and truck travel is the norm. Many individuals who have given of their time, expertise, and dedication to community health and safety and citizen participation over the past year have diligently considered various routes and proposals. Through MOM extensive study and analysis they have evolved a comprehensive proposal that compliments man's needs .and community participation as well as community accessability. The proposal herewithin represents a community concensus. _ As State Representative of House District 7, Southeastern Washington County, I do hereby support and uphold the Pedestrian-Bicycle Pathway Committee proposal and request your favorable adoption and passage of its concept.

The honorable Tom McCall Executive Department Oregon State Capitol Salem, Oregon 97310 Re : Bicycle path needs in Tigard Community Dear Governor McCall. For several months I have had the opportunity to observe a dedicated group of people in the Tigard area-who are con- cerned about the hazardous: traffic conditions and the need for bicycle paths in the dense living areas between Metzger and Tigard. Tigard, one of the fastest growing urban areas in the Willamette Valley, is a community caught between othbyr expanding communities and a major city complex. It is experiencing high traffic hazard situations, lack of . inter-neighborhood movement due to the increase in cross . traffic, truck usage, and density. The Pedestrian-Bicycle Pathway Committee in Tigard and Metzger, which is composed of school children, parents, teachers, and community leaders, has researched the need for alternate transportation facilities. During many . months of deliberation and public meetings the committee has researched various potential routes for needed bicycle and foot paths . They have met with our Oregon State Highway Department and County a:ad City officals. Basically, threee. routes have been considered, namely.. State highway 217 proper, Fanno Creek and Hall Blvd. State highway 217 is not an inter-community route, it does not connect our many community schools , and it is void of easy access to neighborhoods which are not directly adjacent to the highway. Therefore, Highway 217 is not an adequate community bicycle route and would not serve the needs of the communities. regarding traffic safety and recreational accessability. a � Fanno Creed:, which is an important potential inter-city greenkay and recreational area, by-passes the Metzger School area where a great number of children reside and attend school. Possibly it would not be available for bicycle rid- ing activity in the winter months due to potential flooding. Also, Fanno Creck would not be accessable to the Northeast section population because they are geographically seperated by Highway 217. Fanno Creek preservation is desperately needed for recreational and travel facilities, however, there is also an impendin-a need to establish a solution to alternate inter-community transport- - ational needs. Hall Blvd.,s the main route connecting schools , homes, family shops, and businesses from Metzger Elementary and Tigard Senior High. Hall Blvd. also connects our few community recreation sites, specifically, the Metzger Park now gaining community attention for possible renovation of its club house and Cook Park next to Tigard High which is also the location of our swimming pool open to the community. The Pedestrian Bicycle Pathways Committee is familiar with the various travel routes and they have children using the area, shops, and schools . Threfore, they greatly support . and recommend thadt Hall Blvd be given priority as the community bicycle path route. As State Representative of House District 7, I support their request. Enclosed .for your review are petitions and letters from children attending Metzger, Lewis, and Templeton Elementary Schools and Tigard High School which are merely a sampling of the 707 signatures and 246 indivdual letters that have been sent to me. I am more than happy to share them with you at your convenience. If I can be of assistance to you regarding information as to the necessity of a bicycle path along Hall Blvd, please do not hesitate to call upon me. Sincerely yours, Pat Whiting State Representative CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON RESOLUTION No. 74 - RESOLUTION OF THE TIGARD CITY COUNCIL ADOPTING THE TIGARD AREA COMPREHENSIVE PEDEST TAN-BICYCLE PATHIdAY PLAIN.

We started this project because we wanted "to help the commanity and have some kind of challenge. We decided to try to establish a bike path on some street that we thought would be worthwhile. Tiedeman was focused upon because it runs next to our school, is in the midst of three present paths, is dangerous and very narrow. In our studies, we have, individually and as a group, talked with maiay people having to do with paths in some respect. Surveys were collected throughout our school and a long Tiedeman Road and pictures were then taken to show the hazardous areas. The results of the school survey and the slide show were presented to the Tigard Park Board on January 22, 1981. If approved, our future plan is to have drain pipes placed in the ditches on Tiedeman, have an extension built on the Northwest side of the bridge, and to have an asphalt path with a width of five feet placed along side of Tiedeman with buttons separating the path and the road. As a result of the Park Board action, Frank Currie was designated to prepare a cost study analysis of Tiedeman Road. As of yet we have not received his report. BIKE PATH POLL Our class is doing a project on bike paths In the Tigard area. We are loping to revise the Tigard Area Master Bike Path Plan. The purpose of ! this poli is to find out the public's feelings about bike usage and bike paths in the Tigard area.

We are addressing the key items in Ordinance 77-70, the Environmental Design and Open Space Plan, for the City of Tigard. This is our fundamental guide for Park Board activities. We are noting our involvement or lack of involvement in each of these key items. We have assumed that we have a role as a citizens advisory group in all activities of Ordinance 77-70 unless some other group fills that role. This is not happening to our satisfaction, articularly in lanning outside of existan arks, Tigard is a developing city and has many opportunities to enhance its parks, greenway, open space and other recreational facilities. We can and are willing help in this. I. Park Board Organization A. Activities: We meet once each month normally on the fourth Thursday of the month. Frank Currie, Public Works Director, has been our City staff representative and has attended meetings regularly. Frank has kept us well informed on activities in his area and has been a willing and enthusiastic supporter of the Park Board. One member, Bob Bellinger, regularly attends City Council meetings. Other members attend for specific agenda items. We attended the City Budget hearings to recommend development priorities. We requested and received approval to return our membership to nine. Our current membership stands at eight. The School District is still not represented. Three members terms expire December 31, 1980, Bellinger, Zumwalt and Kartak. Action needs to be taken by the Council to reappoint these members. We established the attached set of objectives early in the year. A portion of these objectives have been met. But items III-Bikepath, IV-Visual Corridors V - vegetative cover and II-4 greenway develop- ments have not. Members have assumed responsibility for indivudual parks and activities. Their objectives are to keep abreast of current activities and report on development or maintenance needs. Responsibilities are as follows: Payne Windmill Bandstand Golden Downtown Park Bellinger Summerlake Park Zumwalt .Duck Park Englewood Park {� Kartak Woodard Park Fitzpatrick Other Activities \ Bikepaths Jordan nv k_ Park All Greenways vvtt Page 2 2. City Parks - Existing A. Activities: Expansion of Cook Park including parking lot, ball field and restrooms. Expansion of Summerlake Park including the bridge and landscaping. Continued private development plans in Summerlake area and near Cook Park. Maintenance and operation of all city parks; Cook, Jack, Woodard, Liberty and Summerlake. B. Park Board Involvement: We have been involved in formulating priorities and reviewing construction and development plans for all parks. Frank Currie has kept us well informed. C. Proposed Park Board Involvement: As above except we need to review private development plans adjacent to existing parks for possible impacts, dedications and improvement to parks. 3. City Parks - Planned A. Activities: Two new city parks have been studied this year. A con- ceptual plan has been developed and approved for the downtown area park from Main to Hall along Fanno Creek. Englewood Park has been brought into the city park system by some strong neighborhood involvement. B. Park Board Activities: We have been involved in both park .pians. We reviewed the downtown park plan several times. We are also represented on the Downtown Tigard Admisory Committee. The Englewood Neighborhood Association prepared recommendations for Englewood Park. We reviewed and made recommendations to Council. C. Proposed Park Board Involvement: Continue above on all proposed parks. We also need to set priorities for future park expansion. 4. Private Park Developments A. Activities: We know of no activities here. B. Discussion. Some developers propose to include park developments within their overall development. Some of these may be proposed for dedication to City. Others may be maintained-by a neighborhood association. C. Proposed Park Board Involvement: We should review all proposals with some type of park development for possible inclusion in city park system, for proposed maintenance responsibilities and for a general review of the park site plans. This may be important if trade offs are allowed in the plan for a private park site and then no park systems development assessments are made. r Page 3 5. Greenways and Wetlands A. Several private development pians have been approved and implemented that involve properties in the greenways. A new ordinance 80-82 in- volving greenway maintenance was enacted. B. Park Board Involvement: We have had no involvement in greenway develop- ments (other than parks mentioned above) nor did we assist in preparation of ordinance 80-82. C. Discussion: Ordinance 77-70 establishes several policies regarding protection of greenways and wetlands. The greenways and wetlands are the backbone of Tigard's Open Space Plan and must be preserved. D. Proposed Park Board Involvement: We should review private development plans in or adjacentto the greenway. We would recommend areas that can be developed to expand park system, review dedication proposals to the city, recommend bikepath development, review proposed physical or vegetation alteration in greenway and review planned maintenance of greenway. We should review any proposed crdiaa=ccs. 6. Bikepaths i A. Activities: Little or none that •«e know of. : Fowler Junior High Class taught by Jay Leet proposed a year long class project on two phases of the bikepath system. B. Park Board Involvement. We have had no involvement in planning or development. C. Discussion: Ordinance 77-70 establishes city policies for development of a bikepath system and identifies a proposed bikepath system in the greenway. D. We would review private development proposals along planned bikepaths for possible bikepath construction, review any planned bikepath develop- ments, recommended priorities for completion of the bikepath system and assist in the Fowler Junior High Class study. 7. Historic Sites: A. Activities: The Windmill site along 121st became a controversy when a private development was proposed. Currently the Tigard School Board is reviewing a proposal to put the Durham School on the National Register of Historic Sites. B. Park Board Activities: We were requested by City Council to provide recommendations on the Windmill proposal. Page 4 C. Discussion: Ordinance 77-70. notes that an index of historical sites should be developed and made available to the public. If this has been done we are not aware of it. D. Proposed Park Board Involvement: We should be involved in any historic sites that are proposed for City ownership and maintenance and recommend approval of historical sites. 8. Visual Corridors.: A. Park Board Involvement: We have had no involve-n--=.here. B. Discussion: Ordinance 77-70 establishes visual corridors throughout the. city and states that the Park Board should plan a program for corridor landscape preservation and/or•improvement. C. Proposed Park Board. Involvement: We should review, &ll significant a`ti.vities along visual corridors. We s►`,ould, wits city stats assistant, develop the plan for landscape- preservation and/or improvement_ We should review any ordinances regarding -risua? qt=-'- ,rS- - 9. Vegetative Cover: A. Park Board Involvement: We have had no involvement here. except in park proposals. B. Proposed Park Board Involvement: Ordinance 77-70 states that an ordinance should be developed to regulate removal of vegetative cover. We should review any proposed ordinances. S U MME: R As noted in the 'introduction we are concerned about our lack of involvement in the planning and ordinance review process for items identified in Ordinance 77-70. We realize that the planning process takes time. Developers are anxious to not be delayed by bureaucratic process. However, if City Staff requests our review early in the process we can take quack action at our monthly meetings. If necessary special meetings can be called to deal with significant park and open spare related issues. Most of the above proposed Park Board activities were either being done or planned to be done three years ago when Ordinance 77-70 was enacted. But as city Planning Staff had reduced so has our involvement.
