3. MUNCH PRESENTATION
Ernest Munch discussed the proposal to ODOT and series of considerations
regarding traffic impacts with and without new east/west road in vicinity of SR217. Mr.
Munch handed out a packet to each member of the Task Force (see attached exhibit).
ODOT did not approve the recommendations. General discussion ensued regarding this
topic. Several of the Task Force members agreed that more people need to become
involved with this project—the more voices the better— such as Tri-Met, Metro and the
public in general. It was stated that a good way to make the general public aware of the
dilemma of the 99W expansion is via "Letters to the Editor."
It was suggested that a representative from ODOT be invited to a 99W Task Force
meeting so that not only can the Task Force clearly explain its position to ODOT on the
99W expansion but they can also hear ODOT's side.
4. CONTINUATION OF THE 99W TASK FORCE
All members agreed that the Task Force should continue and each member wants
to stay involved with the 99W project.
5. 99W STUDY
Carol Landsman discussed the proposed 99W Study Scope of Work. This
transportation systems study would identify ways such as access management, lane
stripping and accessibility improvements, to improve efficiency on existing pavement.
Landsman explained that staff suggested to ODOT a joint study in which city would pay

A motion was made by Clark and passed unanimously by the Task Force
recommending that the City Council request that ODOT Region I finance 80%of the
