Call to Order:Vice Chair Hughart called the meeting to order at 6:33 pm Roll Call—Joe Approval of March 2014 Meeting Summary—the meeting summary was approved Visitor Comment—None 2. March HCT ballot measure (Attachments 1 &2) Judith Gray outlined some of the requirements of the High Capacity Transit ballot measure 34- 210 and reported Council's intent to have a clarifying measure on the November 2014 ballot. Marc Woodard invited TTAC to offer input regarding the measure. Discussion took place regarding the low voter turnout and the fact that the measure passed by a small margin. As a result there is no clear mandate of how to proceed. It was noted that there were a lot of misconceptions regarding the ballot measure. The challenge is to be clear and transparent as Tigard proceeds with this complex issue. 3. Southwest Corridor Plan Update (Attachment 3) The TriMet guest speaker unable to attend so Judith reviewed the Southwest Corridor Plan update including staff recommendations. She specifically focused on the Tigard portion of the plan including the viability of the different options. It is a screening analysis to identify which TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY—May 7,2014 Cid of Tigard13125 S1FIHall Blvd, Tigard 01 97223 503-6394171 1avavzv.tigard-orgov I Pagel of3 I/TaatzrportationAdvisog Committee/2014/07-May/O5 07 14 Meetis7g Summary alternatives warrant more detailed engineering analysis and to eliminate alternatives that are less promising due to cost, environmental concerns,property impacts, etc. The areas covered were the Tigard Triangle, OR-217 crossing, downtown Tigard and south Tigard. Judith noted that the Triangle planning work is currently underway;while the two efforts are related,planning for the Triangle is about community and economic development;it has never been contingent upon high capacity transit. 4. River Terrace Community Plan Update (Attachment 4) Susan Shanks distributed a handout on the River Terrace Community Plan to the Committee. It is comprised of about 500 acres on the western edge of Tigard and used to be known as the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan. Washington County initially did the long range planning for the area, but then it became clear that Tigard was the best jurisdiction to provide services for the area. The project was transferred to the city and the previous work was built upon and refined as necessary. She outlined the timeline and noted that storm water will likely be the last area for planning due to the challenges encountered. A draft transportation plan for the area will be presented at the next TAC meeting. Tigard has an existing Transportation System Plan (TSP) through 2035. It is a long range planning document the city is required to have and one is also required for the River Terrace Community, which will become an addendum to the city master TSP. The handout maps show major streets and proposed trails. The Washington County plan included only three access points to Roy Rogers for safety,reasons and that has been maintained in the current plan. In order to reduce costs some of the redundancies of the plan will be reduced such as eliminating the bike lane and one sidewalk when a trail is collocated next to a street. This will improve the chances of the trails being developed. 5. Transportation Grant Readiness This topic will be discussed at a future meeting. It involves identifying projects that have already been supported in case a competitive grant is announced. 6. Other Updates Mike McCarthy noted that Washington County is considering a vehicle registration fee of$30 per vehicle per year to pay for their paving needs with a public vote likely in November. If passed under the current structure, 60% of the fees collected would be used for county road maintenance and the remaining 40"0 would go to the cities within the county based on population. Tigard would receive $780,000 to be spent on transportation within the street right of way, similar to gas tax funds. The county has asked how Tigard would spend the money. City Council would make the final determination,but staff have identified areas where the money could be used,with a lot of caveats: A. A portion for pavement maintenance used to maintain existing streets. The funds would primarily be used for through streets,but not necessarily the cul-de-sacs. B. A portion to establish a sidewalk maintenance assistance program similar to Tualatin and Sherwood. Every three to four years they identify areas in need of repair and offer to split TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY—May 7,2014 City o f Tigan d 113125 SIV Hall Blvd, Tigard OR 97223 503-639 171 zvavw.tgard-or.

The cities are able to do the work easier and at a lower cost since they have contractors on call and crews that can do the repair work, thereby eliminating some of the financial burden on the property owner. C. A portion for right of way maintenance which is currently the responsibility of the abutting property owner in most cases. The current street maintenance fee includes about$100,000 for maintaining areas such as Durham Road between the back fence of the property and the road. There are also raised medians being built along Highway 99W. The idea is to have the medians planted so they look good, but these plantings will mean maintenance costs. ODOT agreed to allow-the planting as long as Tigard maintains it. D. A portion for small walkability projects -completing small sections of sidewalk where a relatively small amount of money could build a short section of sidewalk to fill.a `missing link'between existing sidewalk sections. There is still a lot of time before a decision is made. This discussion is just to determine if the TTAC generally agrees with staff's idea of where the money should be spent and if there are any objections to the staff recommendations. The consensus was that the staff recommendations were appropriate and there were no objections. More discussion will take place once details are known such as actual funding to be received. 7.

TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY-May 7,2014 City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd, Tigard OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-orgov I Page 3 of3 11Tran.portationAdvisori Committee12014107-May103 07 14 Meeting Summa " City of Tigard Press Release 13125 SW Hall Boulevard Tigard,Oregon 97223 www.tigard-or.gov FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 19, 2014 Contact: John Cook,Mayor City of Tigard 503-718-2476 MayorCook@tigard-or.gov Mayor Cook's Statement on Ballot Measure 34-210 Last week's narrow passage of ballot measure 34-210 tells us voters want to have more control over how and where high capacity transit might be built in our city, and that they want to cast another ballot someday on the construction of a future light rail or bus rapid transit project. We now have an opportunity to have more dialogue about how high capacity transit might fit into our city's future. Last week's election was very close. In talking with my fellow councilors and neighboring partners about the charter amendment and its possible impact on the Southwest Corridor project, I voiced concern that Tigard not be left behind, or left out. If others are planning transit through our town, I want to be able to represent Tigard's interests in that continued planning. If others are pooling resources to improve mobility,I want Tigard businesses and residents to share in those benefits and Tigard's vision to be included. None of that changes with the passage of that ballot measure,nor will it address the congestion problems that we face. I think our voters understand that we will continue to grow and need transit options. This is what the Southwest Corridor project is about, and why I believe Tigard needs to stay involved. I do not think that voters approved this measure to stop planning for high capacity transit here, and the ballot measure doesn't legally require that we stop planning. But I want to be sure. So last night the City Council discussed an advisory or clarifying ballot measure this November to confirm that Tigard will continue to be part of planning on the Southwest Corridor project.We will develop an issue to put before voters for these reasons: first,I want to be sure we can collect the information about road capacity and project costs that are now required of the city under the new charter amendment. Next, I want to see the Southwest Corridor project developed so Tigard voters have an actual project to vote on. The Council also agreed on the need to broaden our community dialogue about the future of our transportation system. And finally, putting the question to voters will give us a broader cross-section of community opinion at an election with no expense to the city. I know that my fellow Tigard City Councilors agree that we were elected to do the will of Tigard voters and to safeguard the community's future. The people of Tigard will have a say on the construction of high capacity transit in Tigard,if we ever have such a project to vote on. Page 1 of 2 High capacity transit will only become a reality in the southwest corridor if a project can be designed in a way that makes sense to a coalition of governments at the local, regional, state and federal levels. And it will only get on the ballot in Tigard if we continue to participate in the necessary planning to develop the right proposal for our community that is feasible, that will carry thousands of daily riders, and that enhances the interconnectivity of our city. In November,I hope to hear from our voters again about whether Tigard should continue planning for high capacity transit here, or to excuse ourselves from that discussion. I believe that our planning must continue. The passage of ballot measure 34-210 reinforces my view that decision- making about the future of Tigard's transportation system has to be made here at home. Page 2 of 2 "Discussion of next steps &calendar for the SWC Corridor in light of the Tigard vote." Mayor Cook sends his apologies he couldn't be here today. The Steering Committee meeting and discussion about HCT is very important to him and council—but as you all know he is a CPA and in the thick of tax season. I'm here to day to represent the mayor and council. I'll first present Tigard Council's commitment to HCT planning. Then end with a lifestyle needs perspective all should not lose sight of. You all know by now,the Tigard Community surveys in 2011 and 2013 show that the majority of Tigard citizens like HCT,including light rail options. However ballot measure 24- 210 vote tells us the Tigard citizens want to be more engaged. We want to respect the voters' intent but also realize the passing of the measure was by a narrow margin. With that being said, 1. We need to find better ways to communicate with our citizens, to help them understand the best HCT options and opportunities and learning what priorities they'll support. 2. Mayor Cook and council agrees the best approach now is to define citizen HCT priorities and planning that'll be determined and supported through a November advisory vote. 3. The purpose of the advisory vote will likely clarify that ballot measure 24-210 wasn't intended to stop Tigard from planning for HCT. And the ballot measure doesn't legally require that we stop planning. This vote from our citizens will tell us with clearer direction what they will most likely support. Therefore it is essential Tigard continues to be involved in the planning of the Regional Southwest Corridor project to ultimately implement the will of the voters in resolve of our congestion problems. We believe our voters understand that our city will continue to grow and have need of multi-model options that include HCT transit as part of the solution to our congestion problems and regional connectivity to live interconnected lives. a) Meanwhile,we don't want to lose the momentum from all of the work"all" have done throughout these last few years. b) Tigard plans to stay committed to the regional planning and a communicative effort that better engages voters about Southwest Corridor planning and HCT transit options they will support. For these reasons Tigard will stay involved working with its partners in this regional planning effort. Woodard Statement- Generational lifestyle needs perspective. For me personally, HCT won't have a dramatic impact on my lifestyle, But one communicative message I think city government needs to get better at and stay mindful of"It's not necessarily about our generation." My generation [baby boomers] and Generation X [80's on up to the millennial] grew up dependent on cars,large homes and back yards. Our lifestyles are pretty much set and many of us April 7, 2014— Metro Council Steering Committee (Woodard Presents in Absence of Mayor Cook) "Discussion of next steps &calendar for the SWC Corridor in light of the Tigard vote." may never want to experience the benefits of HCT until we have need to do so. But the millennial generation [generation Y] and their demographic cohort [generation Z] march to the beat of a different lifestyle drum. Generation Y [the millennia's] and their "Z offspring"will soon be an economic powerhouse and I believe will support and sustain the "boomers and generation X's" way of life,which includes us aging in place. But to be successful at sustaining all lifestyle choices will require a balanced and informed effort by all to get there. 1 understand as well as you;many of these young people and their future families aren't as likely to prioritize or value big houses and yards and big cars. Instead a majority will likely prefer multi-modality choices to get around and smaller dwelling space. This is why Tigard's priorities focus on the following vision statement. "The most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities enjoy healthy and interconnected lives." The millennial generation and their children will soon represent large families and a work force that want to live interconnected lives within a 2V Century regional marketplace that includes efficient transit connections central to their living space, place of work and places they spend their leisurely and play time. We must keep in mind it will be years before High Capacity Transit could be constructed. But that's okay;planning now is for the future and we must not lose momentum. That's why the city must continue planning to resolve our congestion problems while it's cost effective to do so and grab our share of badly needed transportation resources for other road improvements that will also help relieve traffic congestion. We must keep generational perspectives, expectations and voter support included within our planning and PR's mindset. Especially when significant changes are needed now in land use to meet all generational lifestyle needs and expectations. This means Tigard city council will take a different leadership perspective and approach in how we communicate w/ our voters, stakeholders and regional partners. The advisory vote to be put forth to the citizens of Tigard is part of that"different communicative approach" and what I like to refer to as a needed communicative PR correction to engage HCT options voters will support. Thank you for the opportunity to speak on behalf of myself, council and the Mayor. April 7, 2014— Metro Council Steering Committee (Woodard Presents in Absence of Mayor Cook) 600 NE Grand Ave. www.oregonmetro.gov Portland,OR 97232-2736 Metro I Memo Date: May 5, 2014 To: Southwest Corridor Plan (SWCP) Steering Committee From: Malu Wilkinson, Metro Southwest Corridor Project Manager Matt Bihn, Principal Transportation Planner Subject: Draft recommendation for Southwest Corridor HCT design options to study further This memo provides an overview of the draft recommendation developed for your review and discussion as well as for public comment prior to upcoming Steering Committee decisions in June to define high capacity transit(HCT) design options, complementary multimodal projects,and potential station areas to study further in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement(DEIS). Background The Southwest Corridor Plan is a comprehensive effort focused on supporting community-based development and placemaking that targets, coordinates and leverages public investments to make efficient use of public and private resources. In July 2013,the Southwest Corridor Plan Steering Committee narrowed the options for a potential high capacity transit investment to serve the corridor land use vision by recommending: 1) continued study of both Bus Rapid Transit(BRT) and light rail transit(LRT); 2) designs for at least 50 percent of bus rapid transit in a dedicated transitway; and 3) the route of a potential high capacity transit investment would be from Portland central business district to Tualatin via downtown Tigard. The Steering Committee also approved a Shared Investment Strategy for the Southwest corridor. The strategy calls for 1) investments in both local service and high capacity transit, 2) investments in roadways and active transportation that connect people to high capacity transit and support local land use visions, 3) investments in parks,trails and nature,4) consideration of new regulations,policies and incentives to promote private investment consistent with community visions,and 5) development of a collaborative funding strategy for the Southwest Corridor Plan. This Shared Investment Strategy was endorsed by each of the twelve project partners in fall 2013. During the past year project partner staff have focused on developing: 1) potential transit design options consistent with the direction given by the Steering Committee, 2) potential station areas along these options,and 3) complementary walking,biking and roadway improvement projects, also known as "multimodal projects," related to the transit options and station areas. Project partner staff,TriMet designers and members of the public defined close to 60 HCT design options that are consistent with the July 2013 Steering Committee recommendation.The refinement phase has been designed to identify the most promising options for further study in a draft environmental impact statement(DEIS). Staff from the cities of Portland,Tigard,Tualatin, Washington County and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) met with the TriMet design team to develop the HCT design options. 1 PTL DISCUSSION DRAFT RECOMMENDATION MAY 5, 2014 HCT design options removed in April In April 2014 the Steering Committee unanimously removed 14 HCT design options based on initial design work and public comment.While the design serves as the foundation for additional analysis such as modeling and impacts analysis,the initial design process itself identified some options to be clearly less viable than competing alternative options.These design options are described in the April 7, 2014 Steering Committee meeting record and materials. Draft staff recommendation for HCT design options&multimodal projects Project partner staff have developed a recommendation for discussion includes 15 design options for BRT and 13 options for LRT (across nine geographic segments) for further study in a DEIS with complementary multimodal projects and station areas. Six BRT and six LRT design options are highlighted where there isn't a consensus recommendation among project partners as to whether or not they merit further study. Each of the HCT design options has been assessed as to the positive and negative impacts in the following areas: • capital cost magnitudes-relative cost of construction including design elements such as tunnels,structure,length,and built environment; • impacts to the natural environment-impacts to natural resources including trees,parks, watersheds, including considerations of potential opportunities for improvements; • development/redevelopment potential-potential to support the Southwest corridor land use vision; • property impacts - effects on buildings and private property; • traffic/bike/pedestrian performance-effects on roadway operations,bikeways,and sidewalks; • transit performance-assessment of ridership potential and operating costs based on design characteristics such as distance and speed,and household and employment access. This information is presented for Steering Committee and public discussion in the form of summary maps (Attachment 1) and additional technical appendices (anticipated May 12, 2014). Leveraging investment in potential station areas The foundation of the Southwest Corridor Plan is the land use vision as defined by each community for their downtowns,main streets and employment areas.The HCT design options were delineated in a way that best supports that land use vision while meeting transportation goals. Project partner staff worked with the TriMet design team to identify the most promising potential station areas -30 locations due to the large number of HCT design options. Metro completed a preliminary station area analysis that provides project partners with an assessment of the opportunities and constraints of each location.This includes some of the most promising tools,policies and incentives to consider putting in place to make the most out of a major transit investment and therefore support achieving the local land use vision. Since this analysis had to be completed prior to a recommendation on HCT design options it includes each of the 30 odd potential locations. Many of the tools and policies would help support development consistent with the local vision regardless of a transit investment,and could be considered by each city for implementation. This information is presented for Steering Committee and public discussion in summary form (Attachment 2) and with a technical appendix(anticipated May 12, 2014). Public input informing the draft recommendation In March and April 2014 the Southwest Corridor Plan partner staff offered several opportunities for the public to provide input on the HCT design options,station locations and multimodal projects. 2 PTL DISCUSSION DRAFT RECOMMENDATION MAY 5, 2014 Opportunities included: one (1) Transit Fair,three (3) corridor design workshops on HCT options, one (1) community planning forum and one (1) online questionnaire on station locations and multimodal projects.A memorandum summarizing public input on the removal of proposed HCT design options was submitted to the Steering Committee on March 31, 2014.A more complete report of the public input on HCT design options obtained in March will be submitted to the Steering Committee on May 12, 2014. Public input obtained this spring regarding the station locations and multimodal projects is summarized in a public involvement report(Attachment 3).The report includes information on the most popular station locations and multimodal projects identified by the public,a summary of the public comments on those topics,and the reasons why the public preferred those station locations and projects.The information on public input collected in March and April is for Steering Committee consideration to inform a final recommendation on HCT design options,complementary multimodal projects and potential station areas to study in a DEIS. Next Steps Project partner staff will be working with their citizens,advisory groups, councils and commissions to discuss the most promising package to forward for further study in a DEIS to support the Southwest Corridor land use vision over the next month. The Steering Committee is anticipated to make a recommendation on what package of HCT design options, complementary multimodal projects and station areas to move forward for further study in a DEIS on June 9, 2014.The public will have several opportunities to discuss and provide input on the draft recommendation. Staff will collect and analyze public input,and submit another report to help inform the Steering Committee decision.The SWCP-sponsored public input opportunities are: • Online survey, available May 6-23, 2014 • Community Planning Forum on May 23, 2014,in Tigard • Business Summit on May 21, 2014,in Tigard • ID Southwest meeting on May 20, 2014 in Portland • Local discussions held by partner cities and counties Detailed information about these public input opportunities is available on the Southwest Corridor Plan web site: http://www.swcorridorplan.org. 3 i G R E A T P L A C E S Project team leaders recommendation on high capacity rridorPlan- transit design options, multimodal projects, and potential station locations to study in a draft environmental impact statement Discussion draft—May 6, 2014 PROJECT PARTNERS Cities of Beaverton,Durham,King City,Lake Oswego,Portland, Sherwood,Tigard and Tualatin,Multnomah and Washington counties, Oregon Department of Transportation,TriMet and Metro SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR REFINEMENT PHASE Draft Recommendation of HCT Design Options for Further Study DISCUSSION DRAFT 5I6f14 _L l ] , R V i, O' �————r—r. — __ M+JfINOh1AH p.CO,�,•.:�, - P - , J � - RECOMMENDED FOR FURTHER STUDY 1N bEES ^"✓ � Rus R � t Otsign p-dpHr om foe{rRBRRtT)Lnt lRT OTA.— MENOMM Llgm R l LRT)tspn OPO.- USSR]N MORE RECOMMENDATION HORT10NREQUIRE FURTHER OISC .
