'This impacts people's independence': Tigard dad
raising awareness about dangers of blocking sidewalks
A Tigard dad has a message for you: don't block sidewalks with your garbage bins.
. : Morgan Romero, KGW News 8
6:40 PM PDT September 6, 2019

TIGARD, Oregon —A Tigard dad has a message for you: don't block sidewalks with your garbage
bins.
Mick Stevens' daughter needs a manual wheelchair to get around because she has cerebral palsy.
They're working toward powered mobility.
But with obstacles scattered in the way, they can't safely get where they need to go in their
neighborhood.
It falls on the community, Mick says, but also on garbage collectors and the city.
Almost every day he tries to get Jillian outside and to a neighborhood park. "She absolutely loves it.
She would prefer to be outside rather than inside."
But doing that is a struggle; many neighborhood sidewalks are off-limits because of overgrown
bushes, basketball hoops, cars and, most frequently, people's garbage bins.
"It's been going on for as long as we've been here," Mick said. "It is dangerous."
Mick always knows on trash day he'll be forced to wheel Jillian in the street, which is dangerous.
Riding on the uneven streets poses hazards and often messes with the medical equipment on her
chair, he says. Mick has to keep his eyes and ears peeled for cars as they ride in the road.
Oftentimes, he says Jillian's feeding tube alarm goes off and needs to be tended to but they aren't in
a safe place to stop.
"This impacts people's independence. It impacts their health. Being able to get out and go for a walk
is something that is enjoyable and there are health benefits to it. And you just think everyone,
regardless of their abilities, should be able to take advantage of being able to navigate the city in a
safe way," Mick said.
So Mick reached out to Pride Disposal, the garbage collection service, and explained obstructing
sidewalks is a violation of city code. The company responded and told him they drop bins back where
people put them because it's the best customer service.
"I definitely think this resident's concerns are valid. In hindsight, I wish we would have addressed it a
little bit differently in the beginning," Pride Disposal president Kristin Leichner told KGW.
Leichner says they've been trying to make changes. A newsletter recently went out with a small blurb
reminding customers not to block sidewalks. Depending on how people are enrolled, they either
received it physically in the mail or were sent a link via email.
Leichner says they also informed their truck drivers in their regular weekly meeting not to obstruct
sidewalks or bike lanes.
"We did that in a drivers' meeting within a week of email sent out. But it seems like perhaps we
needed to talk a little more clearly about this particular neighborhood where there was an issue,"
Leichner said.
After recently reviewing video from their trucks, Leichner realized the message didn't get through to
every customer or every truck driver.
"I definitely think we're going to talk to all of our drivers again and make sure each driver individually
is aware of this," she added.
Mick feels some of the onus falls on the City of Tigard. "Communication has got to be the key
because there's no enforcement of it," he said.
City of Tigard Public Works Director Brian Rager says they have limited resources to enforce code
violations.
"We do have a code enforcement person in another department. It's one person so we don't have the
ability to be out there patrolling and looking for these things. So on a complaint basis, the city can
follow up on those things," Rager said.
But Io and behold, while our KGW crew was interviewing Mick at home Thursday they saw truck
drivers picking up bins off the sidewalk and setting that down along the curb the street - for the first
time ever.
"As soon as they saw the camera they started putting the bins in the street," Mick said. "It makes me
feel relieved that they're possibly taking this seriously and wanting to do what's right for the safety of
all the people in the city."
If it's still an issue in the area, Leichner tells KGW they'll send letters to specific customers telling
them to put their bins somewhere that doesn't block sidewalks.
Commission taps Strickler to lead ODOT
Claire Withycombe/Oregon Capital Bureau Tuesday, September 10,2019
Head of the highway division replaces Matt Garrett, who stepped down in June after leading agency for 14
years.
Kris Strickler
Oregon's transportation commissioners have chosen Kris Strickler, head of the
Oregon Department of Transportation's highway division, to be the agency's
new leader.
The commissioners voted on the appointment Tuesday evening, after a national search
to replace longtime director Matt Garrett that took six months.
Before leading ODOT's highway division, Strickler was the Southwest Regional
administrator at the Washington Department of Transportation. In an earlier role at
ODOT, he led the Columbia River Crossing project for the department. That effort to
replace the Interstate 5 bridge across the Columbia River failed, largely because
Washington lawmakers backed out of$450 million they committed for the project.
Strickler's appointment five years later comes as Oregon lawmakers have renewed the charge to work
with Washington to replace the bridge. Strickler must be confirmed by the Oregon Senate, and his pay
and benefits will be negotiated in the coming weeks.
"I'm eager to lead the agency in this dramatic time of growth in our state and to work to modernize our transportation
network, diversify the department's workforce, and bring innovative solutions to achieve Oregon's transportation,
environmental and economic goals," Strickler said in a statement shortly after the vote.
Garrett stepped down in June after nearly 14 years at the helm.
Strickler will manage an agency with an annual budget of about$2 billion. He will continue carrying out projects
funded by a major bill lawmakers passed in 2017 that raised $5 billion for a decade's worth of transportation
projects.
In a statement, Gov. Kate Brown called Strickler"the right person to help ODOT continue its transformation."
"He has driven the agency's vision for how to address the complex mobility needs of our region and brings strong
interstate partnerships to bear," Brown said.

The RFP was issued on August 8, 2019. The city received three proposals from qualified firms in response to
the RFP. A selection committee of staff members scored each proposal based upon the criteria in the RFP.
• Firm and team qualifications (40%)
• Project understanding and approach (35%)
• Cost structure (25%)
Shiels Obletz Johnsen scored the highest based on the selection committee's scores and best meets the city's
needs for the project. Staff recommends Shiels Obletz Johnsen be awarded the Owner's
Representative/Project Management Services -Tigard Universal Plaza and Fanno Creek Overlook contract by
the Local Contract Review Board in an amount not to exceed$250,000.
A separate Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Universal Plaza - Design and Engineering will be released

Fiscallnformation:
Cost $250,000
Budgeted: Yes
Where budgeted: Urban Renewal Capital Improvement
The proposed contract will be for a not to exceed amount of$250,000. Currently, the project has the full
amount appropriated in the Urban Renewal Capital Improvement fund with a transfer from Parks SDC Fund.
Proclaim National Preparedness Month
Staff recommends the mayor proclaim September 2019 as National Preparedness Month.
The State of Oregon's Insurance Commissioner noted that last year more than 846,000 acres were burned and
almost 4,000 residents had to evacuate their homes without time to prepare. September is National
Preparedness Month and a great time to create a home inventory and review insurance coverage to ensure
financial resiliency in a disaster.
This proclamation was last made in 2016 to coincide with CERT activities.
