alignment (south of Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway) .
C-23: Impacts on business and neighborhood access along
Barbur Boulevard.

2. Barbur/I-5 Corridor Feasibility and Alignments,
assessing the following alignments and their
relationships:
- Is LRT economically feasible in the corridor ;
- Which routes should be examined further in
design and impact studies if LRT is feasible:
• Barbur/I-5 alignment to Kruse Way and/or
Tigard;
Barbur alignment to Kruse Way and/or Tigard
- Is LRT economically feasible in the Macadam
Avenue Corridor to Lake Oswego? Effect of this
corridor on the Barbur/I-5 route and effect on
Milwaukie/Lake Oswego route;
- Impact of alternatives on 99W congestion through
Tigard;
- Phasing/staging of highway and transit
improvements;
3 . Circumferential Route Feasibility, by segments and as
a package:
- Beaverton to Tigard (economic feasibility and
routing) ;
- Tigard to Tualatin (economic feasibility and
routing) ;
- Tualatin to Lake Oswego (economic feasibility
and routing) ; and
- Lake Oswego to Milwaukie (economic feasibility
and routing) .
4. Relationships between corridors: Aimed at
determining interrelationship between Hillsboro
extension, Beaverton-Tigard connection and Tualatin
extension.
D. Eastside LRT System - Part Two - Extensions
This phase of the Eastside LRT System study will evaluate
"secondary" corridors, which are generally extensions or
branches of the "primary" corridors evaluated in Phase "B. "
Specific objectives of the Eastside LRT System Analysis -
Extensions are:
1. Economic feasibility of McLoughlin LRT Extension to
Clackamas Town Center and/or Oregon City, and/or Lake
Oswego.
2. Economic feasibility of 1--205 Corridor : Determine if
LRT is justified in corridor , within various segments
as noted below (independently and together) :
- Airport to Gateway
- Gateway to Lents
- 33 -
G. System Planning : Schedule and Corridor Status
Corridors to be evaluated as part of LRT System Analysis
have all been identified previously in the RTP as shown on
Figure 6. The next step for each of these is the
determination of economic efficiency or other rationale
for including each corridor in the overall regional LRT
system. This determination, as part of the Regional LRT
System Plan, is scheduled for FY 1983 and FY 1984.
The specific status of each of the corridors considered as
part of the overall Regional LRT System is listed below:
•Banfield LRT:
• RTP step complete.
• System Planning step complete.
• Alternatives Analysis/EIS step
complete.
Final Corridor Implementation
steps are underway, with
completion expected in 1985 .
•Westside Corridor :
• RTP step complete.
System Planning step complete.
• Alternatives Analysis/EIS step
nearing completion and selection
of a preferred alternative is
underway.
• The Final Corridor Implementation
step of Final EIS and Preliminary
Engineering should begin in
fiscal year 1984, pending UMTA
funding approval.
•Southern Corridor :
• RTP step complete.
• System Planning step to be
completed as part of the Regional
LRT System Plan, with completion
of this phase in fiscal year 1983 .
• If the Southern Corridor were
determined to be the next
priority corridor in the region,
the alternatives analysis and
DEIS process could begin in —
fiscal year 1984, followed by
Final EIS and engineering phases.
• I-5/North Corridor :
• RTP step complete.
• This corridor has been initiated
into the "System Planning" step
(Part of this Regional LRT
20 -
Plan) . This step is scheduled
for fiscal year 1983.
• The alternatives analysis and
DEIS process could begin in
fiscal year 1984 at the earliest
if established by the region as a
top priority corridor.
• I-205/North Corridor (Gateway North to Vancouver) :
• RTP step complete.
• This corridor has been included
in the "System Planning" step
(Part of this Regional LRT Plan) ,
which is scheduled for completion
in fiscal year 1983 .
• I-205/South Corridor (Gateway South to Oregon City) :
• RTP step complete.
This corridor has been included
in the "System Planning" step
(Part of this Regional LRT Plan)
which is scheduled for completion
in fiscal year 1984 or 1985.
•Barbur :
RTP step complete.
Initiated into the "System
Planning" step, (Part of this
Regional LRT Plan) , scheduled for
completion in fiscal year 1984.
•Macadam/Oswego:
• RTP step complete.
• Corridor initiated into the
"System Planning" step, Part of
this Regional LRT Plan, scheduled
for completion in fiscal year
1984.
•West Circumferential:
• RTP step complete.
• Corridor included in the "System
Planning" step, Part of this
Regional LRT Plan, due to be
completed in fiscal year 1984.
•Milwaukie Extensions (Milwaukie to Clackamas Town
Center, Oregon City and Lake Oswego) :
RTP step complete.
These corridors have been
included in the "System Planning"
step, Part of this Regional LRT
Plan, due to be completed in
fiscal year 1984 or 1985.
