Updates on the CIP ranking will be via email. 6. Capital Improvement Plan Project Selection: Mike McCarthy reviewed the citizen requested projects with the committee. Toby then handed out a rating sheet and instructed the committee to list their top 5 projects for consideration. He indicated that some of them may have funding allocated to them, depending on development, but to rank regardless of the funding availability. Toby said the rankings will be given to the staff CIP group,who will go through the same exercise and determine the priority list to give to the City Manager to take to the Budget Committee. The rankings were compiled and the results are as follows: Project: #Votes 1. Walnut Street Complete Street, 1160" to Tiedeman 28 2, Walnut Street Complete Street, Tiedeman to Pacific Highway 17 3. 121' Avenue Complete Street, Walnut to Gaarde 15 4.

Sidewalks at Greenburg Rd & SW North Dakota (citizen request) 0 Comments on the process: a. Would like it to be a more dynamic process and that funding does creep into the ranking. b. They would like to look at the recommended ranking that goes to the City Manager. c. Could Park SDC funds be used to fund the Tigard Street Bridge replacement? Answer: Any portion of the project that is on park land may be eligible to be funded by Park SDC funds,like sidewalks anal/or bike lanes that extend out from the bridge onto the park. d. It was decided that a committee member should be involved in the budgeting process along the way-Don Fox volunteered to represent TTAC at the budget meetings in the Spring. e. Members were asked to give discuss their priorities in making their ranking decisions.The biggest priority was safety. Other considerations included traffic conditions, funding,livability and the Downtown Plan. I:\T=sportaion Advisory corrunittee\20101 t los i01 DRAn minutes 11-43-10.docx Page 2 of 3 7.

Citizen Request:Ash St. crossing of the WES Rail Line New Project In Transportation System Plan. Provide a sidewalk at the intersection of Greenburg and North Dakota down.to Fanno Creek Pathway.There is not even a Citizen Re Rest: Sidewalks at bike path to walk down this busy street to Greenbur Rd. & SW North Dakota New Project the pathway. North Dakota Street Bridge Replacement Description: The existing North Dakota Street bridge over Fanno Creek is very narrow,lacks space for pedestrians and cyclists, and may have deteriorated to a condition in which it may be eligible for bridge replacement grant funds. This project would replace the existing bridge with a new bridge wide enough to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists along with motor vehicles. Reasons to Construct: Narrow bridge; No sidewalks; No bike lames;Deteriorating bridge condition; Key connection across Fanno Creek Daily Traffic Volume: 4,300 Functional Class: Neighborhood Route Project Cost: $2.5 million Prospective Funding Partner: Federal Hazardous Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program Likely City Share: $500,000 Complicating Issues: North Dakota / Tiedeman realignment discussions--the City is planning to realign one of the streets to meet the other and eliminate one railroad crossing, all of which could affect the budge area.

We would anticipate this being a context-sensitive design to minimize community impact, with no center turn lane to save space, and the planter strip narrowing in spots with physical constraints. Reasons to Construct: No sidewalk; No Bike Lane; No other place to walk along a busy Collector that is the main access route for a significant area of Tigard; Significant accident potential. Daily Traffic Volume: 6,000 Functional Class: Collector Community Interest:This is one of the most-requested projects in the City Project Cost: $2.5 million Likely City Share: $2.5 million Prospective Funding Partners:Various bike/ped and active transportation funding programs Pedestrian/Cyclist Subcommittee Benefit Rating (0 to 10 Scale): 10 y 5 S,e F r• 135th Ave — Walnut Street Intersection Description: Construct either a traffic signal or roundabout at the intersection of 135`''Ave and Walnut Street. Reasons to Construct: Significant traffic delays in the afternoon.rush hours. Reasons Not to Construct:The other 22 hours of the day, this intersection functions fairly well. Daily Traffic Volume: 12,000 (Walnut South); 9,000 (Walnut West}; 5,000 (135`x') Functional Class: Arterial (Walnut); Collector (135"') Project Cost: $400,000 Pedestrian/Cyclist Subcommittee Benefit Rating (0 to 10 Scale): 1 5 3 5 A I S �i S� 1` .r A 72"d Ave / Dartmouth St Intersection Improvements Description: Construct a traffic signal and appropriate tuna lanes, bike lanes, and sideways at the intersection of Dartmouth Street with 72"d Avenue. Reasons to Construct: Capacity problems at the intersection; Lack of pedestrian facilities on the corners. Daily Traffic Volume: 12,000 (72"`' South); 9,000 (72nd North); 8,000 (Dartmouth West); 5,000 (Dartmouth East) Functional Class: Arterial (72 `'Ave);Collector (Dartmouth St) Project Cost: $1.1 million Likely City Share: ???????? Complicating Factors: A few different developments have been required to construct this signal before their development would be allowed to open. However, each of these developments is on hold for economic reasons. The City strategy has been to wait for development to fund this signal. However, the needs exist and have yet to be addressed.

Reasons to Construct: High pedestrian volumes despite lacy of facilities;The existing neighborhood has hundreds of houses within easy walking distance of downtown Tigard's businesses and attractions,but lacy of sidewalk under the bridge is a major impediment to walking. High accident potential Daily Traffic Volume: 1,300 Functional Class: Neighborhood Route Project Cost: $400,000 Likely City Share: $400,000 Prospective Funding Partners: Various bike/ped and active transportation funding programs Complicating Factors: The property south and west of Commercial is owned by the railroad; rail safety goals include keeping pedestrians far away from rail lines. To the northeast of Commercial,it would be somewhat difficult and expensive to get a sidewalk around the bridge supports and fills.

'A 116$'.: a Pacific Hwy 99W / Gaarde / McDonald Intersection Improvement Description: This is a large project to reconstruct the intersection of Pacific Hwy 99W with Gaarde St and McDonald St. The project consists of adding turn lanes, auxiliary lanes,bike lanes, sidewalks, landscaping, and associated stormwater and other utility work. Reasons to Construct: Highest collision rate in Tigard; Significant traffic delays;Narrow sidewalks; Closed north crosswalk;No east-west bike lanes. When the Pacific Hwy 99W / Hall / Greenburg / Main project is complete, the Pacific Hwy 99W/Gaarde/McDonald intersection will become the worst bottleneck on Pacific Hwy 99W in Tigard. Daily Traffic Volume: 46,000 (99W); 12,000 (McDonald and Gaarde) Functional Class: Principal Arterial (99W);Arterial (McDonald and Gaarde) Community Interest:We receive many community requests for this project Project Cost: $4,000,000 to $10,000,000 Depending on alternative chosen Likely City Share: $1 million to $2 million Current Funding Situation: 4DOT has committed $1 million for design plus $3 million towards right- of-way ight- of way and construction, as long as other funds materialize to complete the project relatively soon.

Reasons to Construct: This would fill a critical gap in the City's networks of sidewalks and bike lanes and address safety concerns about people (including schoolchildren) walking right next to traffic because there is no good route to get where they're going.This project was one of the last removed from.the City's Capital Improvement Program (C1P) due to lack of funds, and is considered `unfinished business'. Daily Traffic Volume: 8,000 Functional Class: Arterial Community Interest:This is one of the most-requested projects in the City Project Cost: $1.6 million Likely City Share: ???????? Prospective Funding Partners: Various bike/ped and active transportation funding programs. The City is currently working with Metro to reallocate MTIP funding to this project. Pedestrian/Cyclist Subcommittee Benefit Rating (0 to 10 Scale): 10 ®R n ;Naa " , o Walnut Street (Tiedeman to 99W) Complete Street Description:This project would construct a predominantly two--lane road with turn lanes where needed (such as from Watkins Ave to Hwy 99W),plus sidewalks, bile lanes, planter strips, and storm drainage along Walnut Street from Tiedeman Ave to Hwy 99W. This could include adding a turn lane at the Hwy 99W intersection. Reasons to Construct: No bike lanes; sidewalk only on one side; Once the 116"'-T iedexnan section is complete, this will be last remaining piece of Walnut to upgrade from a country road to an urban street. Daily Traffic Volume: 9,500 Functional Class: Arterial Community Interest: Requests for this project are received regularly Project Cost: $5 million Prospective Funding Partners: Various bike/ped and active transportation funding programs. Complicating Factors: Tight right-of-way (buildings close to road);Wetland crossing Pedestrian/Cyclist Subcommittee Benefit Rating (0 to 10 Scale): 8 wil4G IYe t tt t r, r m 1745 �' 1 04 Crosswalk Beacon Replacement Description:There are several crosswalks around the City that merit extra warning for drivers due to high vehicular traffic volumes or high pedestrian volumes. In-pavement lights were installed along several of these crosswalks. However, these have proven to be unreliable. This project would replace these in- pavement lights, typically with pole-mounted lights alongside the crosswalk. The specific design would be decided after further investigation. Reasons to Construct: Difficulties with and lack of dependability of existing in-pavement light systems, Community support to keep active warning devices at these crosswalks, Locations: Walnut St at Grant Ave Durham Rd at Tigard High School Bonita Rd at Milton Ct 121"Ave at Katherine St Main St near Fanno Creek 68`s Ave south of Hampton St Project Cost: $50,000 to $325,000 depending on alternative chosen Pedestrian/Cyclist Subcommittee Benefit Rating (0 to 10 Scale): 5 4 d 41A, Al S t.
