would that look like?
-Ask the City Council if they have recommendations and if the committee is on track as it
pertains to the purpose of the committee.
6. Pacific Highway/McDonald-Gaarde intersection update.
Since TTAC last discussed this project earlier this year, the design team has completed land
surveying, environmental and hazardous materials review, additional traffic analysis, further fleshed
out the project design, and identified the order of magnitude of property impacts for the options
being considered. The two options presented at previous meetings were reviewed (see exhibits:
Maps of Option B2 and Option C2). Analysis showed that each would have significant
shortcomings. Staff presented a new option,A-2,which combined aspects of B2 and C2 and
provided a more comprehensive intersection update. With Washington County potential dollars, the
project could be fully funded. Staff recommended A2 as it had the greatest positive traffic flow
impact for the longest period of time. (Option A2 = Option B2 + Option C2). While it has a 40%
higher cost,it has 60%more benefit-more value for the money. The committee reached consensus
with the A2 plan.They recommended the following:
-plan for landscaping
-If Washington County funding does not come through, they recommend the B2 plan
7. Project Updates/Announcements
-Slurry Seal-staff distributed a map of which streets were being affected and the timeline.
-Design will be starting soon on the Walnut Street project.
S. August Meeting?
The committee agreed that an August meeting is most likely not necessary.
