The OR99W: I-5 to McDonald Street project (STIP Key #20435) will repave the roadway, upgrade ADA ramps to current standards, improve access management, and address drainage issues on the corridor. It will also install a full traffic signal upgrade to the Johnson/1\1ain intersection. This project is classified in the "Fix-It" category within the STIP program and is designed to maintain the existing system. As part of the STIP "Non-Fix-It" funding category, additional "Leverage Program" funds have been set aside by the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) at $16.71\1/year for the 2019- 2021 STIP. Of these funds, $2M/year are allocated to Active Transportation Leverage Opportunities statewide. The OR99W: I-5 to McDonald Bike Ped Infill (STIP Key#20437) project is programmed for $986,000 in Active Transportation Leverage funding to address missing sidewalk segments, bike lane gaps, and additional active transportation safety improvements in coordination with the repaving project.

Bilingual storm drain murals in Tigard, Hillsboro tell the story Sept. 21, 2018 9:48 p.m. With the support of Metro's Community Placemaking grant, two new murals in Tigard and Hillsboro highlight how different cultures value water. The sidewalks look very different near Main Street in both Hillsboro and Tigard. Where previously there were gray concrete pathways, now two bright and colorful murals adorn the pavement. Both murals wrap around nearby curbside stormwater drains that carry away rainwater and runoff. Both murals bear one simple message, written in three languages: Drains to the Tualatin River. This past year, Tualatin Riverkeepers commissioned two murals to promote awareness and stewardship of the Tualatin River and the surrounding lands that drain into it. The tributary snakes throughout Washington County,passing through Cornelius, King City, Tigard, Durham, Tualatin and even West Linn. Both drains connect to the river, even though they are in different cities 12 miles apart. Tualatin Riverkeepers is a recipient of Metro's Community Placemaking Grant program, which encourages people to reimagine public spaces and create changes within their neighborhoods. '11-aard mural tl In Tigard, Tualatin Riverkeepers worked with the Muslim Educational Trust to commission a piece that celebrates the Muslim community. Artist Kanaan Kanaan painted a stormwater drain next to Fanno Creek,which eventually drains to the Tualatin River. The mural is partly influenced by the tessellations in Islamic art. The overlapping and interconnection between people, animals and the environment inspired him. "We cross paths," Kanaan said, "and the crossing and the congregating,that's the intersection, where we could create something new. And I'm really hoping that is something neve and beautiful." ti K.

"And in the water are two stylized fish to represent wildlife and nature that rely on the river for their life and their health," she L L r Creating a public mural is a quick and inexpensive way for a communities to visually represent themselves, according to Ben Stone, director of arts and culture at Smart Growth America. "You can't necessarily get people together and talk about the design of the architecture in the neighborhood," Stone said. "That takes much longer, and takes much more money and time to put together." He said placemaking projects, such as these two murals, can help neighborhoods celebrate their unique culture and assets, and distinguish themselves from other places. "It's become more evident that public art, sculptures and murals are really all about representing the community's values," Stone said. They often represent who is in a neighborhood, he said. In this case, the storm drain murals celebrate culture while underscoring the importance of taking care of our land and water. TriMet board backs proposed light rail route to Bridgeport Village The Oregonian/OregonLive Updated Sep 26, 3:33 PM; By Andrew Theen atheen@oregonian.com If built, the new light rail route will run down the middle of Barbur Boulevard for miles. TriMet's board threw its support Wednesday behind the proposed 12-mile light-rai[ route from downtown Portland to Bridgeport Village. The board unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution in what amounts to a symbolic act, but it's another indication of the growing momentum behind the region's latest proposed transit project. The meandering route, Preferred Alternative: estimated to cost$2.6 billion to ' Staff Recommendation $2.9 billion, is expected to be included in a regionwide 2020 transportation bond.

"Imagine what I-5 r:0 be could look like with MAX serving that corridor," Stacey said. The plan calls for 13 stations and seven park and rides along the way.

The Metro Council is expected to vote to adopt the locally preferred alternative route for the Southwest Corridor in early November. The first trains likely wouldn't run until 2027. Photo red light cameras coming to 3 Tigard intersections Ray Pitz Thursday, September 27, 2018 If all goes as planned, cameras will be installed on Highway 99W at Hall, Durham, 72nd Ave. early next year. COURTESY OF CITY OF TIGARD- Here's where the City of Tigard plans to where -',ngill occur install photo red light cameras. The three Proposed. Tigard Intersections intersections were selected based on such criteria as accidents and other In light of the available information, staff will seek to deploy-photo Led light/speed equipment at the following Tigard Intersections: factors. SW Pacific I-iWY Hall BLVD (for through traffic and RT NB) The City of Tigard is moving ahead SW Pacific HWY(u. Durham Rd (for through traffic and RT NB) with plans to install photo red light SW Pacific IINW72"d Ave (for through traffic only) cameras along Highway 99W at The plan is to start the program with only red light enforcement. Speed three intersections—Hall enforcement can be activated once workload and capabilities are better Boulevard, Durham Road and 72nd understood. *Each of these intersections nnust be approved by Avenue—early next year. ODOT. On Tuesday, the Tigard City Council, acting as the Local Contract Review Board, approved entering into a $2.1 million contract with Conduent State and Local Solutions Inc. to install the cameras along the heavily traveled highway following a work session on the matter the previous week. The city has considered using the red light cameras as far back as 2010. Portland, Beaverton, Tualatin and Sherwood already have such cameras in use. The photo red light cameras also will have the ability to ticket motorists who "speed on green," although officials say that's something they won't activated immediately for the speeding monitoring system, which will only ticket motorists traveling 11 mph or more above the posted speed limit. Selection of the intersections was based on such factors as traffic volume, violation counts, crash data and citizen traffic complaints. Tigard Police Chief Kathy McAlpine said photo red light camera vendor Conduent really"wowed" her administrators. She added that the reason for the cameras is an issue of"safety, safety, safety"rather than a revenue generator. Tigard Police Lt. Mike Eskew, who lead the request-for-proposal committee that looked at a variety of vendors, said once the contract is signed, the city must still get permission from the Oregon Department of Transportation before the signals can be installed since Highway 99W is a state highway. Other questions that remain include what perimeters to place on determining a red light violation. Eskew said as a police officer, a vehicle that is a quarter of the way into the intersection while the light is already red likely would be a contender for a ticket. Meanwhile, he pointed out that each potential violation must be reviewed by a sworn officer before any ticket could be issued. Eskew said while Highway 99W at Gaarde Street has the highest number of accidents in the city—88 between 2012 and 2016—it did not meet criteria set forth by ODOT, whose guidelines discourage red light cameras installed at recently improved or remodeled intersections. Still, Highway 99W and Hall Boulevard ran a close second in the number of crashes with 72 recorded over the same time period. 'We think we'll have it up and running no later than February(2019)," Eskew said. He pointed out, however, that a public education period and warnings will be undertaken before any tickets are issued, saying a 30-day warning period is likely. During that time, the system will be activated, red light cameras will flash and motorists will be notified of the violation but won't be ticketed. So here's what's planned or anticipated: • Start-up costs will come from general fund contingency with a total cost of the program expected to be$5 million over five years. That money will go to processing costs, dealing with the ticket volume and personnel associated with red light photo tickets. • The red light camera program is expected to generate between $6.2 million and $7.8 million in citation revenue over that same time period. • Tigard's neighbor to the south, Sherwood, installed photo red light cameras in 2011 and over the course of three years saw a drop of 36 percent in photo red light tickets issued: from 17,040 to 10,569. Clackamas County water coalition to test emergency response Raymond Rendleman Monday, September 24, 2018 Riverside County Park to close on Thursday, Sept. 27, for drill in the Clackamas River The Clackamas River Water Providers, a coalition of municipal drinking water providers that get their drinking water from the Clackamas River, is arranging for the closure of Riverside County Park from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, to test newly developed spill response strategies on the river. The coalition is made up of representatives from the Clackamas River Water District, city of Estacada, city of Lake Osm•ego, city of Tigard, the North Clackamas County Water Commission (city of Gladstone and Oak Lodge Water Services), South Fork Water Board(Oregon City and West Linn) and Sunrise Water Authority (Happy Valley and Damascus). The coalition has been working with local first responders and Water Environment Services to better respond to potential spills of hazardous material on the Clackamas River by developing strategies to protect the drinking water source if a spill does occur. Coalition representatives will work with NRC, a spill response contactor, Clackamas Fire District#1, DEQ and other partners to put boats and booms into the river to respond to a mock spill. A hazardous material spill in the Clackamas Industrial Area is an area of particular concern," said Kim Swan, the coalition's water resource manager. Many of the businesses in the industrial area are less than a quarter-mile away from the Clackamas River. Hundreds of storm drains and four small tributary creeks (Rock, Sieben, Carli and Cow creeks) drain this area and flow into the river just upstream of four drinking water intakes. "Testing and practicing the response strategies we have developed to see how well they work while identifying areas where we might need to make changes is critical to protecting our drinking water infrastructure," Swan said. "It also gives us an opportunity to build stronger relationships with our local, state and federal first responders to protect our drinking water." With funding from a state grant,the coalition also has been developing a Hazardous Spill Prevention Program for businesses located within the Clackamas Industrial Area to receive free or discounted spill prevention and response equipment and free technical assistance. For more information, contact Swan at 503-723-3510 or via email at kims2aclackamasproviders.org
