Possible HCT Questions for April 30 Town Hall
1. For two decades, in response to community surveys,Tigard residents have identified traffic
congestion in Tigard particularly along Pacific Hwy. as their most pressing concern. In your view
is traffic congestion still the most important issue facing Tigard?
2. Pacific Hwy. is the busiest five-lane arterial in Oregon and Tigard bears the highest level of traffic
volume with an average of 50,000 vehicles per day. Do you support either light rail or bus rapid
transit serving Tigard if it will help keep traffic volumes on Pacific Hwy from increasing
significantly?
3. It is estimated that widening Pacific Hwy would cost approximately$105 million per mile. Is cost
a factor in which HCT alternative you might support?
4. Five HCT alternatives are being reviewed. What do you think are the most important factors to
consider in making a decision?(travel time, operating cost, projected ridership,economic
development, keep traffic from increasing significantly)

• A study of Chicago in 2009 shows that businesses within one mile of a Walmart Supercenter have a
25% chance of shuttering in the first year, and a 40% chance of shuttering by the second year, when
compared with stores farther than one mile from the Supercenter.[1]
• Walmart finds ways to finance its operations on the backs of taxpayers. Using tactics such as deducting
rent payments made to itself (through a captive real estate investment trust), it avoids an estimated
$300 million a year in state corporate income tax payments.[2]
• Walmart costs taxpayers an estimated $1 billion per year subsidizing low wages and benefits.[3]
• Walmart systematically challenges property tax assessments to chip away at its property tax bills,
costing local governments several million dollars a year in lost revenues and legal expenses.[4]
• In New York State, for example, at least eight Wal-Mart locations have challenged their property tax
assessment, recouping about $766,000.[5]
• A national study examined a 10 percent random sample of Walmart's 2,833 Supercenters and discount
stores as of the beginning of 2005, and found that at least one assessment challenge had been filed at
35 percent of the stores. If that rate applies to all Walmart stores, the company has brought challenges
at more than 1,000 retail outlets nationwide.[6]
• Local businesses keep more money in the community. A 2009 study of the differential impact of locally-
owned businesses and big-box stores in New Orleans shows that while big-box stores only recirculate
16% of revenues into the community, locally-owned businesses recirculate twice as much.[7]

Tigard is already overbuilt. Traffic is a huge problem.Additionally,Tigard is in danger of becoming yet
another anonymous suburb.We don't need more big box stores.Instead we need to support smaller,local
businesses that will help give Tigard a unique flavor and support our continued economic health rather than
the health of a large corporation.

There is a well established precedent with Wal Mart moving into an area.They keep prices lower until other
businesses fail, then that is the end of low prices.

I haven't stepped foot in a Wal-mart of any kind in at least 15 years,based on principle alone. That company
exemplifies corporate greed and bullying with great efficacy.They target small businesses to take over,
leaving citizens with few,or no other local purchasing options.Lastly,they are selling mostly Chinese
products.Wal-mart is un-American,and should stay out of our community.

There is absolutely no reason for a Walmart in Tigard.There are plenty of stores that do treat their employees
with way more dignity than Walmart all ready in this general area.We do not need stores that pay their
employees so poorly that many need health care and food assistance for their families.In other states where I
have lived,Walmart did not help the local economy or the local people;I doubt anything will be different
here.Do not allow a Walmart in Tigard.I wish I could say or anywhere in Oregon but it is all ready too late
for that.

I am very disappointed to see yet more undeveloped land paved over,further putting pressure on the birds and
other animals who use it and increasing polluted parking lot runoff while decreasing areas where rainwater
can be absorbed into the ground.What I have heard about Walmart's behavior as an employer,in terms of
wage,benefit and promotion policies has not impressed me favorably.

No more Walmarts! Especially not in m town.We don't need them driving down our local wages and
destroying our local market by putting local store owners our of business with low wages and allowing their
workers to live below poverty level. No Walmart, no,no, no!

We had a very similar problem here in Cedar Mill. The dishonesty and brinksmanship was outrageous.The
entire city council except for the mayor voted against it and it was still going forward,only continuous
vigilance and prior land use zoning laws stopped it. Good luck petitioner!
