MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee
FROM: Judith Gray, Senior Transportation Planner
RE: TSP - Goals, Policies, and Strategies
DATE: January 27, 2010
The following pages present the Goals & Policies section from the most recent Draft
Transportation System Plan Update. These were developed through the course of the project
and were largely derived from related goals and policies in past adopted plans.
Following the Goals & Policies are 29 Strategies. These are specific actions identified to
implement the TSP. Next to each strategy statement is a number identifying the primary goal
and any secondary goals that it supports, as transportation strategies typically serve multiple
purposes.
We are seeking input from the TTAC regarding the Goals, Policies, and Strategies. The kinds
of things we are hoping to get at include:
• Have we represented community priorities?
• Should we have five goals or do these boil down to fewer?
• Should they be ranked?
• Is there a better way to present the information?
• Have we missed anything?
Before the Feb 3 TTAC meeting, please take some time to review this information. We have
allotted 30 minutes in the agenda to discuss this item. We want to be sure that we get a chance
for a thorough and productive discussion.
If you have questions before the meeting, please feel free to contact me at 503-718-2557 or by
email at Judith@Tigard-Or.gov.
Thanks in advance!

Judith Gray, Sr. Transportation Planner; Darren Wyss, Sr. Planner
1. Welcome and Introductions
Judith Gray, Sr.Transportation Planner,presented the minutes from the last meeting and asked if there were
any additions, deletions, or changes. There was a motion and a second to approve the minutes as submitted.
Minutes were approved as submitted by a unanimous vote.
Gray asked everyone to introduce themselves by going around the table and saying a bit about who they were
and why they were here,which they did.
2. Committee Leadership

Page 1 of 4
Gray explained the expectations of the chair and vice chair. She went around the room and asked if anyone
was interested/willing/able to take either of the positions. Several were willing.After some discussion,
Anthony Rivano moved that they elect Jeremy Vermilyea for chair, and Christopher Warren for Vice Chair.
There were no other nominations. By unanimous vote Jeremy Vermilyea was elected chair; Christopher
Warren,Vice Chair.
3. Overview of Downtown Circulation Plan
Sean Farrelly,Redevelopment Project Manager,went over a PowerPoint presentation giving an overview of the
working draft of the Downtown Circulation Plan (Exhibit A). He went over the foundation documents, the
study area, and the character of the streets. He spoke about two proposals for a "green street." He noted
consultants would be working on that (storm water function,infiltration of rain water, swales, etc.) Farrelly
then went over the project schedule and remaining tasks.
Chair Vermilyea asked for feedback from the two inembers of the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC)
who were in attendance [and who objected to portions of this plan]. Carolyn Barkley, downtown business
owner,noted she had an issue with Garden Street. She is in favor of development and believes this plan would
thwart that.Alexander Craghead, Chair of the CCAC, believes the City can't wait 20 years for good downtown
circulation. He said that if development doesn't happen, the grid doesn't happen. Craghead also noted that
they [Barkley and he] were in the minority on this topic so far as the CCAC is concerned, and that the final
version of this plan would probably be the one presented. Farrelly said there will be open houses and mailings
to make the public aware of the plan and to get feedback from them. Councilor Buehrier said she would like to
see this dealt with separately from the TSP.
4. Transportation System Plan (TSP) Update: Goals, Policies, and Strategies
Darren Wyss, Senior Planner, presented the TSP Update. He gave some background to the goals &policies
that had been included in the member's packets. He said he wanted to paint a clearer picture of the intent of
the statements and how they will be used to make decisions in the future. Wyss spoke about how the TSP
connects to the City's Comprehensive flan. He noted completion and adoption of the TSP satisfies the
requirements of OAR 660-012 and Statewide Land Use Planning Goal 12: Transportation,in addition to Goal
11: Public Facility Planning.
Wyss went over the following definitions of"Goals, Policies,&Recommended Action Measures"which are
used at length in the Comprehensive Plan:
❖ Goal—general statement indicating a desired end.
• The City cannot take action that violates a goal statement.
❖ Policy—identify Tigard's position and definitive course of action.
• City must follow relevant policies when amending/developing plans/ordinances affecting land use.
❖ Recommended Action Measure—statement outlining a specific standard or project which,if implemented,
would implement goals/policies.
• No obligation to achieve all, just suggestions.
To give a definition of the Comprehensive Plan,Wyss used Mayor Dirksen's example in that Ditluen had
liliened the Comp Plan to the U.S. Constitution and how that works.
I:\Transportation Advisory Cornmittcc\2010\020310\Draft Minutcs_for_TrAC_2-3-10.docx
Page 2 of 4
Mayor Dirksen's example: Comp Plan = U.S. Constitution.
The poliy would say "we will operate a country-wide mail system." The details would be worked out at
programmatic level--not in policy.
Wyss also went over the origin of the goals &policies. He then turned the test of this portion of the agenda to
Sr. Transportation Planner,Judith Gray.
Gray went over the 5 high level goals that had been given to them in their packets (Exhibit B).
• Goal 1: Transportation& Land Use Planning Coordination;
• Goal 2: Transportation Efficiency;
• Goal 3: Multi-Modal Transportation System;
• Goal 4: Safe Transportation System; and
• Goal 5: Inter-agency Coordination.
She asked the group what their thoughts or comments were on the 5 goals. There was a note that the first goal
didn't have a subhead. Wyss interjected that it was inadvertently left out and it should read"Develop mutually
supportive land use and transportation plans to enhance the livability of the community."
Gray led a discussion using the document she'd sent to the group earlier (Exhibit B). There was some
discussion as to highlighting the fact that Transportation and Land Use needs to be linked together and should
be sort of a "super priority." There was a suggestion that the language be simple where it can be simple; that
it's best not to use jargon. In addition, there was the suggestion to swap the first goal to say"Land Use and
Transportation Planning Coorduiation." One of the members asked—as to procedure—what exactly are they
asking for? Staff replied that what was wanted was input and feedback,not a sign off.
There was some discussion as to the practicality of the plan—how does it relate to the need. They went over
the strategy statements on page 3-5 of Exhibit B. Gray asked that the committee take this home and take a
week to spend some time to think it over and call or send her an email wide their comments and suggestions.
She noted they are in the final process of finalizing this. She is looking for feedback. She said they will make
some judgment calls, and will call if they need clarification. There will be meetings in March with the Planning
Commission and Council,with presentations by consultants. In April there will be workshops.Vermilyea said
the Planning Commission would most likely accept public input at the work sessions.
5. Bike Map Update and On-Going Engagement
Mike McCarthy, Sr. Project Engineer,gave a brief update on the bike map. He said the final version would be
going to the printer the next day. Each committee member will receive their own copy of the map at the next
meeting.
There was discussion as to the possibility of a Bicycle Advisory Sub-Committee. He noted there could be
members other than this committee, and that it doesn't need to be made up by all the members from this
committee, however, at least one person from this committee should be there. McCarthy said there are
members of the "map group"who would most likely want to be a part of this sub-committee. He asked
whether the group liked the idea or not. The consensus was they did. They talked about it being a
"pedestrian/bicycle committee" combined. McCarthy recommended that it start combined and meet every two
months, or quarterly. They would need to find some pedestrian advocates and McCarthy believes he could get
I:\Trtnsportntion Advisory Committee\2010\020310\Draft Minutes_for_TTAC 2-3-1 O.docx
Page 3 of 4
representation from pedestrians. They decided the committee should consist of about 9 people. Basil
CI- istopher agreed to be the representative of the TTAC on this sub-committee.
McCarthy will flesh out the details and will bring them back to the TTAC next month.
G. Wrap Up and Next Meeting
Vermilyea said he hoped to talk to staff to try to develop a road map for the TTAC for the next fete months.

Statement of Values for the Downtown Circulation Plan
At its April 22,2009 meeting,the City Center Advisory Commission(CCAC)put forth this Statement of Values for the Circulation Plan:
1.Create a street system that will encourage people to visit and return to downtown.
2.The new street network should result in a positive impact on the environment.
3.All modes of transportation must be accommodated.
4. Encourage a pedestrian-oriented urban village in Downtown.
5.Get people into and around the Downtown,but do not enable vehicles to cut through(with the possible exception of a connection to
Highway 217 via Scoffins and Hunziker.)
6.The street network should serve the uses envisioned for the future
7.The existing built form should be taken into account when planning new connections,but the greater economic interests of future
development should take precedence.
Design Principles for the Downtown Circulation Plan
Over the course of the project,with input from the CCAC,the TAC,and the consultant team,additional general design principles emerged to
guide the planning process.These included the following:
• Maximize efficiency and ease of access for all transportation modes and for emergency services. (This principle can be realized, in
part, by determining appropriate access spacing and by avoiding off-set intersections.)
• Enhance accessbility for people of all ages and abilities. (Strategies for achieving this objective include keeping block sizes
relatively small and providing superlative bike and pedestrian facilities.)
• Create a network with a diversity of human-scaled street types that support urban places and integrate with blocks/buildings.
• Link with city, regional,and national transportation networks. (Achieving this end requires careful integration of this plan with
Tigard's TSP and with other local and regional planning efforts.)
• Ensure the economic viability of the blocks that result from the implementation of the new street grid.
