WA County/Beaveton Murray Blvd/Walnut Street EXHIBIT "A"
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
'REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF
MURRAY BOULEVARD AND WALNUT STREET
This memorandum of understanding between Washington County, the City of
Beaverton, and the City of Tigard is intended to document the mutual
understanding regarding the schedule for implementation
of a portion of the existing Urban Planning Area Agreements between
the County and the two cities, in order to assure an orderly and
coordinated development of the transportation system in accordance with
adopted planning documents.
RECITALS:
1. In December of 1988, an Urban Planning -Area-Agreement was executed
between Washington County and the City of Beaverton. In the same
month, a similar Urban Planning Area Agreement was executed between
Washington County and the City of Tigard. Both Agreements provide
for the extensions of Murray Boulevard and Walnut Street to form a
collector street connection between the two cities. No schedule is
specified for completion of the street connection.
2. The Washington County Transportation Plan, adopted in October of
1988, calls for the extension of Beef Bend Road as a minor arterial
to connect between Scholls Ferry Road and Sherwood. This road
extension is also recommended in the Southwest Corridor Report
adopted by the Metropolitan Service District Council on .May 28,
1987.
3. The Southwest Corridor Study Report recommends that the Murray
Boulevard extension not be completed until the Beef Bend Road
extension is completed. Completion of the Beef Bend Road extension
is considered necessary in order to discourage the use of the Murray
Boulevard extension as a through route between Scholls Ferry Road
and Highway 99W. The Southwest Corridor Study Report suggests that
the portion of the Murray Boulevard extension to be delayed is the
portion between Walnut Street and Gaarde Street. The parties�-to
this agreement have previously supported the recommendations of the
Report.
4. The Southwest Corridor Study Report, while very specific in some
aspects, is considered by the parties to be a generalized public
facilities planning document. As the parties have undertaken
further planning for the affected area and observed development
patterns in the area, it has become apparent that the Southwest
Corridor Study Report objective of discouraging the use of the

BOULEVARD AND WALNUT STREET

Murray Boulevard extension as a through route pending the completion
of the Beef Bend Road extension can best be implemented through a
modified approach to the one described in the Corridor Study.
5. In discussions between the Cities of Beaverton and Tigard, it has
been determined that all portions of the Murray Boulevard extension
need to be completed in conjunction with development of the
adjoining properties in order to (1) comply with the intentions of
the Urban Planning Area Agreement and (2) provide adequate traffic
circulation in the developing areas. Engineering review has further
identified that the opening of the roadway to through travel between
Old Scholls Ferry Road and the area south of New Scholls Ferry Road
can be deferred until the completion of the Beef Bend Road extension
or for at least five years from the date of this agreement.
AGREEMENT:
1. The portion of the Murray Boulevard extension between Scholls Ferry
Road and Old Scholls Ferry Road shall not be opened to through
traffic prior to the completion of the Beef Bend Road extension to
Sherwood. Physical construction of the roadway will be permitted,
but the actual connection for through traffic will be impeded by the
use of barriers or other effective devices approved by all parties
to this agreement.
2. Washington County shall actively pursue funding for construction of
the Beef Bend Road extension. The Cities of Beaverton and Tigard
shall support the County in this endeavor.
3. This memorandum of understanding shall remain in effect until
amended by mutual agreement of all parties.
