Additional revenue sources were considered and Council asked staff to explore using a bond to fill a portion of the gaps. Subsequent to that conversation, Council decided to consider a multipurpose bond (currently scheduled for a May 2017 vote) to address the high priority needs,including sidewalk gaps, after seeking public input. The neighborhood networks are being reactivated and will help provide valuable input. More planning is needed but TTAC will be involved in the future process. 6.

We appreciate the work and commitment of TriMet staff in developing this Plan and its vision. Everything about the Plan - new frequent service, route changes and community/jobs connectors -stands to benefit Tigard and its residents and employees. Tigard recognizes that implementation of the transit service improvements outlined in the Service Enhancement Plan would provide benefits to our residents and businesses, including! neve bus service to neighborhoods currently lacking these services a increased East-West transit connectivity • increased access to bus service for low-income, disabled, seniors and students + improved bus service to/from local employment centers As a specific example, the proposed route extensions for the existing Line#36 would fill a real and pressing bus service gap along Durham Road. The Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee identified this as a "priority service route"to TriMet staff last year and recommended this solution. As you are aware, Tigard functions at the crossroads of our growing region. Also, the city has experienced major population increases over the last years and projections are that 20,000 new residents will move to Tigard over the next 25 years, Enhanced transit service will be one important contributor to ensuring mobility for everyone who wants to travel to home, shopping and work. Tigard's vision is to be the most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities lead healthy and interconnected lives. We know that every transit trip begins and ends with a walk, and enhancing transit will help to move Tigard toward its vision. Tigard is concerned that there is currently no definitive timetable for implementation of the much- needed transit service improvements outlined in Service Enhancement Plan. This uncertainty complicates planning for related transportation projects (such as transportation infrastructure investments for the River Terrace area, and complementary planning for the Southwest Corridor 13125 SW Hall Blvd. • Tigard, Oregon 97223 * 503.639.4171 TTY Relay: 503.684.2772 a www.tigard-or.gov high-capacity transit). Tigard therefore requests that TriMet identify funding and establish a 12- month schedule for implementation of the Tigard-area transit service improvements as outlined in the Southwest Service Enhancement Plan. I recognize that this is a major request since TriMet has to identify the funding to make these investments and there are competing transit service improvements to implement. But we believe that Tigard is a unique community within the region and the planned transit service improvements warrant timely-implementation, I look forward to working together to find a way to timely implement the SEP vision. Please contact me if you need additional information or if you have any questions. B st regards, a J L.
