It's likely they'll be in place by 2010, but not guaranteed. This alterna- tive includes two sets of elements. x s' i Planned Projects include: • Extending Westside Light Rail to Hillsboro. • Expanding Hwy. 217 to three lanes in each - direction. rt P • Extending Beef Bend Road to Elsner Road. : • Extending Murray Blvd.to Hwy. 99W(one lane in each direction, plus a center left-turn lane). ti '® • Improving various intersections.

That concept is to expand and extend existing roads in the urban area and add transit t service. This alternative can be broken into three categories: The arterial expansion elements would expand Q or connect some of the existing unconnected north-south and circumferential roadways and add f capacity to roadways that are highly congested. , � �...... P These elements include: • Expanding Hwy. 217 to four lanes in each ° ° � •� direction. • Extending Murray Blvd. beyond Old Scholls Ferry Rd.to 1-5 at a location between Bonita Rd. and Carman Dr. ' • Building a new expressway from 1-5 to Hwy. 99W in the Tualatin-Sherwood area. • Expanding Hwy.99W to six lanes from Bull Leaend Mtn.

The high occupancy vehicle(HOV)elements focus on increasing opportunities for people to carpool or ride buses (both are HOV's) by: • Giving buses,carpools and other HOV's "preferred access"at Hwy. 217 on-ramps. This alternative also includes all projects and programs in the No-Build and TSM Alternatives. Page 4
