Introduction — The City of Tigard's Community Development Department wishes to engage the services of the UOiVGr3kv of Oregon's Portland Urban Architecture Research Laboratory (PU/\F7L\ todevelop aland use/urban design vision for the pO�iODOfthe Hvvy99VVcorridor i ` ' | vv|thin its City limits.

Background and Objectives — Hwy 8S\8/from downtown Portland through Tigard is designated as @ high capacity regional corridor on the Regional Transportation Plan Map | and the Metro 2O4OConcept Plan. The aubieotarea includes 8pp[Oxinl8te|yfour [ni|8SOf | state Hwy 99W between the 1-5 interchange ' at the north end' and the Durham Rd/99VV intersection to the south. This portion of Hwy 99W has some of the highest traffic volumes of | any 5-|8O8arterial inthe state. Traffic congestion Onthe highway iS regularly identified by | Tigard residents as one Dfthe City's main transportation problems. Land uses along the highway are comprised of low-density, strip onnnrn8[Ci8| development i with large areas of surface parking. There are significant areas of single-family, and some multi-family, neSid8nU8| Uses within 8 0.25 mile 10 0.5 mile distance on either Side of the highway. There have been many traffic related studies and plans for the highway over the last 20 years. None ofthese efforts have specifically addressed land use, but have been Oriented tDvv8nd improving traffic flow and capacity. Recently, in 2006 —20O7 the City of Tigard, along with the Oregon Department of Transportation, completed the "Tigard SgVV Improvement and Management P|8D." The plan recognized that under current conditions itionot #l5060, City ofTigard Page 4 / | | ! i ! financially feasible or desirable to add additional lanes to Hwy 99W as a means to ' accommodate future traffic d8Dl8Dd. Essentially, |@n8 related C@paCih/ improvements would | rapidly be used up by latent demand, and widening the highway would have unacceptable i | community impacts. ! The Chv. {}D{}T' and its citizen advisory committee, sought the most financially feasible and | community friendly alternative to address future transportation D88dS. It was decided that ! traffic demand and community livability needs would be best balanced by a combination of | improvements including access management, intersection improvements, transit, pedestrian and bicycle enhancements. The 99VVImprovement fkManagement Plan recommends that, ! except to improve intersection capacity and safety, and to provide room for better transit / stops, the highway should not bewidened. The S9VVImprovement & Management P|8O recommends that a major investment in public transit iGthe most effective solution totraffic congestion problems on SSVV. This includes, in � the short-term, rnUCh improved bus service and the development OfHigh Capacity Transit in � the mid- to long-term time period. The concept of light rail On or within dOSe proximity to 99W is supported by the City of Tigard and also has support elsewhere in the region. Furthermore, the City is participating on a variety of transportation and transit related committees to determine the high capacity transit needs of the region. It is noteworthy that the Hwy 98\8/ B8[burBlvd corridor was identified aeone Ofseveral light rail corridors iOthe region's initial light rail transit plan developed in the late 1980's. With the completion of the Milwaukie MAX Line, the Hwy 99W/Barbur Boulevard is the last corridor yet to be developed. HOvVever, for the purposes of this StUdy, 8 specific light rail alignment will not be assumed ordepicted (other than conceptual station 8Fe8a.) A portion of the OOm/ntovvn Urban ReOevv8| District is adjacent to Hwy SgVV. It is important to coordinate the Hwy 99VV Design Vision with past Downtown planning vv0rk, including the DOvvntovvO Urban Design Vision. 3. Project Organization: The work shall be performed as a class, studio, or special research project with 8fiO3| oUtC0nOe being 8 cohesive product. Furthermore, the project will be undertaken by 8 rDiniDlU[n of or more qualified individuals who will consistently devote Gsignificant amount oftheir time toitover its duration.

Key assumptions are: 1) BV2O50the corridor will b8completely built out/redeveloped and very few 0fthe existing buildings will remain. 2) High quality High Capacity Transit will be provided within the next 10— 15 years. 3) Some surface parking will nRDl8iD, but structured parking will be prevalent. 4\ Daily travel will be primarily by transit but traffic congestion to some degree will be an issue.
