The two presenters from Metro were Crista Gardner and Karen Withrow who updated the committee on the
SW Corridor Plan.Judith videotaped this portion of the meeting. (Handouts were distributed.)
The SW Corridor Plan consists of many components and is a collaborative effort with numerous agencies and
municipalities working in partnership in the planning effort. This is a long-term project which includes land use
planning, transportation and transit options.
They are now finishing identifying the existing conditions report and will be moving into the next phase of
identifying where to direct further analysis.
Judith said that Jan 30th was the first kickoff meeting for the Connections Team. They want to keep the
committee updated on their progress. The Team is not a decision-making body and they are open in terms of
participation.
Metro has set up communications geared for various ways of interactive participation and encouraged the
committee to take advantage of the various avenues (www.swcorddorpla.n.org or www.oregonmetro.gov/Tbtin,
Facebook and twitter connections also). Metro will return in the future with updates on how the plans are
progressing.
9. Bicycle/Pedestrian Project Ranking
Mike McCarthy referred to the handouts on small projects. The CIP includes funding for small projects, or
match for using grant funds, to benefit cyclists and pedestrians. The subcommittee looks at small gaps to
complete in existing sidewalks and bike lanes then prioritizes them. The list will be updated yearly as projects
are completed or new targets are identified.
Numerous projects were discussed. Dartmouth and 72nd was a suggested area with a huge need there,but it is a
very expensive project. Projects targeted now include:
#1 —No. Dakota-bike lane. This would require acquiring ROW.
#2—Across McDonald at 97th—flashing lights. Further study is required.A sidewalk is also a possibility.
#3—Hwy 99W-bike lane by Dutch Bros.
#4—Greenburg Rd. - crosswalk between Hwy 99W and Tiedeman
