The meeting was held in the Public Works Auditorium, at 8777 SW Burnham St. 2. INTRODUCTIONS 3. CONSIDER MINUTES The October 2, 2019 meeting Minutes were unanimously approved. 4. PUBLIC COMMENT – None. 5. FUTURE VISION FOR HWY 99W Dave noted that Metro slated Hwy 99W as a Tier 2 project for its T2020 bond measure. Washington County has taken the lead in proposing Metro move it up to Tier 1. Tigard, Tualatin, and King City are teaming up to seek State funding, which would be less funding than the bond measure if it passes. ODOT is funding a scope study of Hwy 99W to determine what is needed. 6. 72ND AVE DESIGN UPDATE Tegan noted input from open houses, TVF&R feedback, as well as tracking vehicle travel through the area were used to study what is needed. She gave a presentation on the project purpose, project background, What We’ve Heard, proposed plan, and The Ask. She reviewed the recommendations so far including pedestrian crossings. TTAC members are supportive of the design plan. 7. TTAC ANNUAL REPORT TO COUNCIL Kevin gave a presentation on the upcoming Annual Report to Council on November 12 and encouraged members to attend. 8. TTAC 2020 PLANNING Kevin gave a presentation on the 2020 topics that TTAC will be involved in. TIGARD TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE November 6, 2019 Page 2 of 2 9. NON-AGENDA ITEMS A.
