2. CONSIDER MINUTES
The June 3, 2015 meeting Minutes were approved.
3. PUBLIC COMMENT
There was no public comment.
4. PREPARATIONS FOR MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL
The meeting with City Council is scheduled for September 15. Kevin proposed three parts: (1) presention of the
Planning Calendar as a synopsis of previous and future meetings, (2) Members share interests reasons for being part
of TTAC, and (3) communicate three (ideally) key points to the Council. There will be an exercise at the next
meeting to determine the key points that the Committee would like to communicate to the Council.
5. FY17 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)
Kevin noted that the next City fiscal year is July 1, 2016 to June 30,2017. The timeline proposed by Carissa is for
TTAC members to receive (on or about September 23 and after staff review) the initial FY17 Capital Improvement
Program project funding list. At the October 7 meeting there will be a presentation on the CIP and how the list was
established. After discussion,it was the Committee consensus that action on the CIP take place at the November 4
meeting to allow adequate time for TTAC review. Kevin will coordinate this timing with City staff.
6. REVIEW: "WALKABILITY" PRESENTATION &WORKSHOP
Buff asked for input on the Jeff Speck presentations and final report as well as Kenny Asher's response. To make a
place walkable the walk needs to be useful with a destination and needs to be safe, comfortable, and interesting.
Infrastructure is important to meet the safe and comfortable requirements including connectivity with lots of
streets, small blocks,places to cross and good streetscape. The City is working on a plan to focus on the downtown
and the Tigard Triangle area, as suggested in the report, to make Tigard a destination instead of a place to pass
through. Comments included filling sidewalk gaps to improve walkability and not focusing on those areas at the
expense of the City as a whole. River Terrace was another area of focus in the report with suggestions for additional
roads and connections to roads that are under county control.
7. FOLLOW-UP TO "BUS-STOP" PRESENTATION
Buff noted that Tri Met conducted a Pedestrian Network Analysis in 2012 and gave a brief overview. He recently
received the on and off counts for all of the stops in the Tigard area; this information will be incorporated into a

graphic. He suggested determining which high priority stops to focus on with Tri Met.
8. N. DAKOTA BRIDGE- REPAIRS&UPGRADES
Mike shared some photos of the temporary steel beams recently installed on the North Dakota Bridge to replace the
wood beams.The concern now is the deterioration of the wood pilings, The expected life expectancy is at least five
years and the City submitted the application for a long-term fix.The bridge is now open to traffic. Significantly, a
new pedestrian walkway was installed in conjunction with the repairs. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held
August 18 at 10 am. The Committee commended City staff for their success in completing this complex job in a
timely manner.
9. PROJECT UPDATES & REPORT
The major paving work,including sealing pavement cracks on about 15 miles of city streets,is complete for this
year. Striping was installed last week on Walnut St, 92'Ave, and Nimbus Ave. Walnut St.was restriped with a ten-
foot travel lane and three-foot shoulder. On Grant Ave. (Walnut St. to St.Anthony) the centerline striping was
elirninated to visually project a neighborhood street and slow traffic. The City reinstalled the majority of the speed
humps (with gaps for emergency vehicles). Options for sidewalk gap funding are being considered.
Hwy 99W/Gaarde St./McDonald St.: signal poles are installed working toward final paving and signal turn on at
the end of the month. Bonita Road(Fanno Creek to I-5):crews will be working during the day to remove the old
pump station and connect the new water line to the portion tunneled under 1-5 a few months ago. Northwest
Natural and other utilities will be doing some work in Bonita Road, but it should remain open to traffic. Scholls
Ferry Road (Cascade Ave to Hwy 217): an ODOT safety project is improving sidewalks, signals,and lighting
(including left turn arrows for traffic turning from Cascade onto Scholls Ferry).'Walnut Street (Tiedeman to 116'h
and intersection with 1350):project design is 90%complete with bidding planned in the fall,construction this
winter through 2016,including relocating existing overhead utilities underground. Downtown: crews are
demolishing the old public works shops and yard on Ash Ave to make way for a new multi-family development.
The new dog park(northern corner of Burnham Street and Ash Avenue)opened last week and pavement markings.
will be modified to add a few parking spaces soon.The Artwork has been installed at the north and south entrance,
construction of retaining walls and other amenities are underway.
A private developer is building a new subdivision on the site of the former Tigard Armory including curb and
sidewalk along Oak Street,a storm drainage connection to and detention swale along Ventura Dr.,and a pathway
connection from the subdivision to Ventura Dr.
