Meeting Evaluation CITY OF TIGARD TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 28, 1985 MINUTES MEMBERS PRESENT: GUESTS: Lidija Balodis Russ Krueger Wilbur Bishop Beverly Jacob Milton Frye Homer Hamlin Robert Tempter Mark Padgett, Vice Chair Joe Schweitz Thomas J. Sullivan, Chair The meeting was called to order by Chair Thomas Sullivan at 7:40 PM at City Hall. The minutes were approved as corrected: Old Business; Frank will attend the Gas Tax meeting, Mark will determine the U.S. Congressional Transportation members. Our new members, former Mayor of Tigard Wilbur Bishop, and Homer Hamlin, .were introduced and greeted. Councilman Tom Brian, our liason with City Council, discussed the Councils beliefs, aims and goals. He discussed the past history of the Westerly Bypass, and that many past objections have been resoly- ed. Time frame is 6-8 years before any groundbreaking. The Murray Road extension is still an option with Washington County. At the conclusion of Tom's discussion on the Bypass, Russ Krueger presented a question relating to an overlay for 135th, privately paid for. The chair asked that Russ return with more facts and a concrete proposal. Russ, later in the meeting, gave us a brief oral history of the 135th problem. We reiterated our need for facts and figures to review before we could do anything to help him. Councilman Brian continued, and discussed MSTIP, Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program, of which $3-4 million will be in Tigard; $4 million for Durham Road extension. Mr. Brun then outlined the Dartmouth Connection, and the plans for the Tigard Triangle. One landowner is in appeals court now, to prevent the development. Next Mr. Brian discussed the Capital Improvements Plan. Council wants our input on the methods of fundings Small bites, city wide bond, LID's, lottery tickets or what? On a broader question, the council wants the Committee to review, probe, and advocate the regional problems in transportation, and give them the-_best ad*ice, devoid of politics. L•idija suggested we get maps with overlays so we can get a more concrete view of the various situations. Tom Brian stated that Bill Monahan's office could do this for us. a Tom Brian departed the meeting at 8:52 PM. Chair Tom Sullivan reviewed the Action Plan. We are to continue work on objectives. Mark Padgett reported on the U.S. House Transportation Committee members. There are 48 in number, with 2 major subcommittee. The first is Buildings and the second is Surface Transportation. No one from the Northwest is on the Committee. Mark will get Senate information for next time if possible. The Committee unanimously approved Tom Sullivan's letter to ask for agendas and other notices from other transportation related groups in this area, other states, regions, and the nation at large. Tom and Mark will meet regarding the need to have a Parks Board liason. The Committee unanimously approved Tom's letter to interested parties in the Tigard area, letting them know of our Committee and our activities. Mr. Bishop accepted the assignment to research the sources, types, and influenceability of funds. Also the timing of our input. There was further discussion on how we handle the levels of administration so we do not add yet another layer for affected parties to go through. Mark presented a short briefing on the Economic Development Committee, followed by a similar briefing by Milton Frye on the Planning Commission. We then discussed our need to develop a method for dealing with Citizen walk-in problems. We set our next meeting for April 18th at 7:30 PM at City Ha11, Tom Sullivan adjourned the meeting at 10: 10 PM. ----------------- Apri l 15, 1985 To: Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee From: Tom Sullivan V Re: Progress report and current agenda I believe that the TTAC has made substantial progress in the five month, since we first met . In that time we have familiarized ourselves with transportation issues, developed an action plan with goals and objectives and made a good start toward realizing each of those objectives. I have been trying to determine the course the committee should take from here and am experiencing a certain amount of difficulty. A number of recent events have raised some questions in my mind that I feel the committee has to answer concerning our role in the city structure and the manner in which we are going to undertake specific projects and decide specific issues before we can proceed. At our last meeting it was suggested to me that we are spending too much time trying to decide how we are going to decide things and not doing any actual substantive work. I appreciate that there is some validity to this criticism, nevertheless I don ' t see how we can begin without having answered certain questions. I am writing this letter with the hope that you will come to the meeting prepared to suggest specific ways we can deal with the questions I have raised below, and any other suggestions that you have for the committee. It is my hope that this committee will do more than just meet monthly and review documents sent to us by other persons or groups. In looking at the overall picture there seems to be two areas that we are responsible for. First we have to assist staff in developing a rational transportation plan. Second we will be called upon to give advice concerning specific issues as they arise. The matter of the 1!5th LID that was brought before us last meeting is a good example. Since then certain citizens have come to me asking the transportation committee to look: at the development that J . D. Bishop has planned for the downtown area and the impacts that that will have on transportation. These questions and others like them are going to force us to decide: 1 . At what level (i . e. when) and under what circumstances should we become involved in specific transportation issues. . If we are to get involved with a specific issue, how will we get our information , what kind of input will we seek: from the various involved parties, and what form will our recommendations take (i . e. verbal , written , etc. ) Concerning the overall task:: of creating a rational transportation plan we need to decide: _ . What kind of decisions do we have to make; 4. What information do we need to make tho=se decisions; 5. What procedure must we follow and what information do we need to determine priorities as far as the capital improvement plan is Concerned. ^ . �� ^ b. How will we get our information' 7. What is our timeline for making what decisions I have enclosed with this memo certain items of information. The first is the updated version of the action plan as approved by City Council . The second is a list of Sources of Information and Responsible agencies involved with transportation planning. (Let me know if there are any additions to this) . Last is a copy of the City Council ' s Policy calendar given to me by Bob Jean. This shows the items City Council has determined to be priorities and the timeline for dealing with them. Note that there are a number of transportation questions on there.

FA:stb Enclosure an equal opporsunity employer INTER-AGENCY MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Ron Schaadt, Washington County March 19, 1985 FROM: Frank A. Currie, City of Tigard SUBJECT: ODOT 6-year update Pursuant to the WCTCC meeting of March 11, 1985, the City of Tigard would like to submit the following list of projects for consideration for inclusion in the ODOT 6-year program: New - State Highway Improvements (on system) ✓ ° Hwy. 217 at 99W Southbound to Eastbound offramp/overpass. c0 Hall Blvd. and Durham Rd. (Old Hwy 217) from SW Upper Boones Ferry Rd. to the overcrossing at new Hwy 217. ° Traffic Signals: 99W at SW Canterbury. Local Contribution through an L.I.D. ' Hall Blvd. at Durham Road ° Scholls Ferry Road (Fanno Creek to Murray Rd.). Non-State Highway Projects: (off system) "Main-Street-Bridge replacement______ _ 72nd Ave. at 99W - intersection realignment:- ° 72nd Ave. _-__9.9W to,--Hwy 217_ Channelization and signal improvements at SW Cascade and Scholls Ferry Road. Durham Road 99W -to HaI1 -Blvd-. The Overpass at Hwy 217 and 99W is proposed as the second half of the solution to much of the congestion on 99W caused because of the four (4) traffic signals on 99W from SW Greenburg to Hwy 217. Three of these 4 signals control major left turn movements from north and west of Hwy 99W to inbound on 99W. The 4 signals are spaced too close together to function progressively when considerable green time must be dedicated to left turn traffic on Greenburg and Main trying to get into the "flow" on 99W before left turn inbound traffic from 217 thus helping congest the left turn movement at 217. The plan would be to eliminate left turn and cross-traffic at Greenburg and on-grade left turn and cross traffic at 99W and the 217 Southbound offramp, providing more adequate spacing for progression and allowing higher volumes of inbound left turn traffic from north and west of 99W. err✓ Memo to Ron Schaadt, Washington County March 18, 1985 / Page 2 The Hall Blvd. Project would be considered an interim improvement and would include bike paths on both sides and provisions for left turns at major intersections. There would be supplemental funding from local and state bikepath sources. The traffic signal at Hall and Durham is needed due to the sharp but steady increase in traffic at this location. It's strategic location and recent commercial and residential starts in the immediate area insure the construction of the steady growth in traffic. Under non-state Hwy. Projects, the Main Street Bridge replacement is badly needed. While the bridge is sound and not ranked high on the replacement list, it is narrow ( If feet) and severely limits traffic and economic growth in the downtown area. In addition, the bric(ge is under the 100-year flood plain elevation, and it's length ( >�.� p feet) poses a severe restriction to the passage of the annual flood. The 72nd Avenue intersection alignment with 99W is for the purpose of facilitating traffic flow into and out of the Tigard triangle providing the only direct north/south route through the triangle. It will also facilitate traffic flows on 99W by eliminating the signal at the drive-in theatre and providing uniform separation between the signal at SW 69th and at SW 76th, improving the ability to gain progression in this stretch of 99W. The 72nd Ave. - 99W to Hwy 217 Project will serve to compliment the Dartmouth extension project (an L.I.D.) and the realignment of the 72nd/99W intersection. Channelization and signal improvements at Scholls Ferry and Cascade will provide smoother and more efficient movements at this intersection. This intersection is one of the planned inter-city connections between Beaverton and Tigard. It will serve to enhance existing and committed economic development. Durham Road is a critical transportation link connecting two major State areterial Highways. (FAC:br/1113P) r � CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON RESOLUTION NO. 85-� A 'RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PLANNING, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A MAJOR ARTERIAL BYPASS ROADWAY BETWEEN ALOHA AND I-5; AND URGING THE METROPOLITAN SERVICE DISTRICT AND OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO MAKE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD-A HIGH PRIORITY. WHEREAS, it appears to the Council of the City of Tigard that the maintenance and expansion of regional and subregional transportation facilities is of critical importance to the continued and future economic growth of Washington County and Washington County communities along the "I-5 Corridor"; and , WHEREAS, it appears to the Council that the present north-south major arterial and highway standard roadways, specifically Highway 99W and Oregon 217 are no longer sufficient to handle the existing and anticipated growth in traffic volumes, both for private vehicles and commercial and industrial traffic; and WHEREAS, it appears that improvements to State Highways 217 and Scholls Ferry would exceed costs of a Westside bypass. WHEREAS, it appears to the Council that the lack of adequate north-south major arterial routes are causing trucking and other traffic to utilize collector and arterial streets not designed for heavy loads as alternative transportation routes, which results in congestion, unsafe conditions and accelerated deterioration of these roadways; and WHEREAS, it appears to the Council land suitable for quality industrial and' commercial development, which would employ the citizens of the County and the State, remains vacant, in part due to the traffic difficulties encountered on major transportation links into areas of the County any distance west of Highway 217 and I-5; and WHEREAS, it appears to the Council that construction of a "Western" bypass from the communities of Aloha and Hillsboro, and intersecting with I-5 in the vicinity of the cities of Tualatin and Wilsonville would in large measure alleviate existing north-south regional traffic problems and accelerate the economic development in the southeastern and western portions of Washington County, to the ultimate benefit of citizens of the entire .metropolitan area and the State; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Tigard City Council that: The Tigard City Council fully supports the planning, engineering and construction of a "Western Bypass" road linking the communities of Aloha, Hillsboro, Sherwood, Tualatin and Wilsonville and adjacent areas; and it is further resolved and ordered that the Metropolitan Service District (METRO) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (OOOT) declare the "Western Bypass" a highest priority project and proceed to provide funds for planning, engineering and construction in the immediate future.
