EXECUTIVE SESSION The "figard City Council went into Executive Session at 6:30 p.m. under the provisions of ORS 192.660(1) (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) to discuss labor relations, real property transactions, exempt public records, current & pending litigation issues. 3. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT TEAM CO`.I IUNICATIONS/MEETING WITH FACILITATORS AND STAFF RESOURCE TEAMS ,l Kristie Miller, East CI T, presented a petition with over 200 signatures from the neighbors and businesses in the area of SW 78 h and SW 83 "'requesting a right-hand turn only lane , from SW 78 s onto Highway 99W to alleviate a stacking situation that caused problems for residents during peak traffic hours. She explained that Mike Mills from the City came up -1 with the idea of restriping the city road as a quicker, more cost-effective means of handling 1 the problem. Mike Mills stated that his proposal had the support of Greg Berry, Acting City Engineer, Gus Duenas, Project Engineer, and Police Officer Kaufmann; it would cost less than T yj CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE I ~ _ 1 0 $2000. He said that he would use money already budgeted for another striping project that came in under budget. He reviewed the exact configuration of the proposal for Councilor Scheckla. Bill Monahan, City Manager, commented that the City would also have to put up 1 signage alerting motorists to the change in traffic pattern. 1 Mayor Nicoli complimented Mr. Mills on his creative solution to the situation. lie noted that traffic in Tigard would only get worse, that the state had no money to improve Highway 99W, and that the federal government was pulling money out of transportation. He mentioned a possibility that the legislature might authorize additional transportation dollars i. this session, although they have not done so for the last two sessions. He pointed out that Measure 47 would cut back the MSTiP 3 program approved by Washington County voters by 25-50%. !j Mark Mahon, East CIT, reported that they also discussed Peer Court, and that the citizens were happy with Mr. Mills' solution. j John Williams, South CI T, presented a recommendation approved unanimously by the 12 members present to ask the City Council and City staff not to do any construction on the Cook Park expansion plan until a Tigard Parks Master Plan had been reviewed and adopted by Council. He noted concerns over the cost of past, present, and future flood cleanup, i sensitive land issues, increased traffic on the road extension, and the noise level from j children playing. He mentioned a suggestion that the City work cooperatively with the School District to bring the existing fields and land up to playing-field standards with time allotments arranged between the two agencies. He noted the possibility of Fowler Middle School becoming a high school and developing that property for fields. Liz Newton, Assistant to the Citv Manager, reported that South CIT representatives intended 4 to attend other CIT meetings in February to talk about locations for fields within the $ community, as the South CIT felt that more fields were needed in the City. They wanted to j explore other locations so that staff could research them. Mavor Nicoli mentioned that the City wasn't paving for field expansion, someone else has proposed giving the City the money to buy the land. He said that consideration of land cost had to be a factor, and that land elsewhere in the Citv was 10 - 20 times more expensive than in the South CIT. He commented that between the soccer leagues and the football leagues all school fields were in use. the City was out of open space for children's play. He j said that the two options available buying more land and upgrading existing land would probably happen. s Mr. Williams requested that the Council move the Parks Master Plan up on the Council's upcoming agendas. Mayor Nicoli commented that the people adjacent to Cook Park { consistently brought up issues to delay the expansion of the park because they did not like the noise from children playing in the park. He said that the City has committed to doing the Parks Master Plan but that he did not think it was justified to delay the Cook Park ?i expansion process for six to twelve months in order to complete the master plan first. I said that when he and Councilor Hunt returned to Council with the Task Force recommendations, Council would deal with the issue then. i i - i CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 2 t I t t r , 3 i i 3 (The Council considered Item 6, Basketball Hoops, at this time.) j 4. STATUS REPORT: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Mr. Monahan said that Bev Froude and Pamela Moyers, co-chairs of the committee that 3 evaluated neighborhood traffic problems over the past nine months, were here to report to ' Council their findings. He noted that representatives from Engineering, Police, Administration, and Community Development were all here and have already heard the report. Bev Froude expressed her enjoyment of working on this committee composed of two representatives from each CIT. She discussed how the interests and concerns of individual members drove much of their work. She reviewed the committee recommendations as follows: •1, 1) Keep traffic calming devices, including speed humps, in the budget for 1997/1998; j 2) Request more streets to have the strictly enforced signs with frequent police 1 enforcement; 3) Land use affects transportation. Subdivision streets are very important to the transportation system, especially connecting streets through subdivisions. a) The Development Code and Planning Department should have direction and discretion to design subdivisions so that driveways did not back out on to main collectors; b) More conditions placed on developers to do major offsite improvements on streets surrounding the development, including residential, schools, churches, and businesses; C) These developments pay a T1F fee and improvements to the surrounding i streets should be made : ith these funds on all developments; d) The City Council should continue to pursue improvements to Highway 99W and all other major road systems; 4) A sidewalk/walking path improvement should be initiated so all streets in Tigard have safe walking area, ` { j 5) More police enforcement for traffic control; j 6) Education and involvement of the citizens. J i Ms. Froude noted that Greg Berry, Acting City Engineer, indicated that he would include traffic control devices and speed humps in the budget. She said that they were not asking for an enlargement of the strictly enforced sign program but rather a relocation of those a signs in other neighborhoods once a neighborhood with those signs got a traffic control j device. She stated that while they understood the current rules about designing i transportation svstems in subdivisions, they were suggesting that all interested parties meet y to discuss a different way to look at development and possibly find a solution to the e I I CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 3 j ~ I i ~ 1 I 1~ I driveway problem; people backing out of driveways onto main roads slowed down traffic and contributed to congestion and neighborhood cut through traffic. Ms. Froude commented that most developments had traffic impacts on the surrounding infrastructure, including roads. She said that they knew the developers wouldn't like No. 3b but contended that it needed to be revisited. Mayor Nicoli commented that the City was limited somewhat on how far away from a development they could require a developer to do improvements. Mr. Monahan said that staff required as much as they could from developers within the limits of the law. Mayor Nicoli pointed out that the County required the City to spend TIF funds on arterials and collectors only; the money was not available for local j streets. {f{ l Mr. Mahon commented that many areas in Tigard developed without sidewalks because t they developed in the County. He suggested starting a program to encourage installation of sidewalks or pedestrian walkways. Councilor Hunt said that he would rather see pedestrian walkways than sidewalks because people did not use them when they constantly crossed driveways. l ry Ms. Froude asked if there was a need to reexamine the posted speed limits and functional street classifications in Tigard. Greg Berry, Acting City Engineer, said that staff was in the Al process of updating the Transportation Plan now, and would look at streets with problems. i Ms. Froude said that they I-new Measure 47 affected No. 5 and suggested a program for gathering information from the citizens for suggestions, forming a task force to explore possible funding mechanisms, and getting the support of the community and the Council. Mayor Nicoli pointed out that when citizens informed Chief Goodpaster of a speeding problem, he looked in at his available resources to find the most appropriate way to handle { the problem; more enforcement was not always the answer, and the City had other options available. ile said that while he did not think that No. 5 was out of line, perhaps it should be reworded to "Channel more effectively people's concerns about traffic speeds to the Police and Engineering departments." Ms. Froude cited an example of how education and citizen involvement changed the behavior of people on the committee. She said that public education was the bottom line. Mayor Nicoli said that he was comfortable with the recommendations, noting that some of f them would not take much money. He mentioned that Measure 47 might actually help fund sidewalks in the City because it only affected operating dollars, not capital expense dollars. Mr. Monahan noted that much of the work Bev and her committee have done would become part of the visioning process, as staff was certain that traffic would be a focus issue. Mayor Nicoli suggested that staff explore allocating some funding to education for the Budget Committee to review at budget time. j Mr. Berry commented that Tigard had a lot of equipment already available for use with volunteers. Other possibilities included articles on neighborhood traffic watch in the I newspapers and banner or signs in the neighborhoods. Lt. Darin Devenev, Police I Department, said that they possibly could move the strictly enforced signs but not ~i CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 4 ' I i r-- immediately after putting in a traffic control device. He said that the Smart "frailer was the most requested device, and if accompanied with enforcement, could slow traffic down for longer than three weeks. j Martha Bishop Committee member, commented on the need for walking paths in the community for the safety of pedestrians and children. Mr. Berry said that the City was putting in pedestrian paths on a limited basis. He commented that paths were better than sidewalks because they did not have as many drainage problems. i j 5. UPDATE: METRO 2040 (Discussion was postponed.) 6. DISCUSSION: BASKETBALL HOOPS i Ms. Newton reported that the Community Service Officers Kristin Paris and Jim Wolf { received a number of complaints regarding basketball hoops obstructing the public right of way. She said that under the current ordinance, they lacked the authority to enforce removal } :i A of any obstruction from the public right of way. She presented a sample ordinance to prohibit any object, including basketball hoops, from obstructing the right of way as a safety measure. Ms. Newton pointed out that the ordinance did not address the concerns of Mr. and Mrs. I " Robert Melvin (correspondence from the Melvins was included in the council packet material) over the noise of kids playing basketball. She noted that some neighborhoods {i were divided over whether or not to allow basketball hoops. She cited examples of safety j problems caused by the location of basketball hoops in the street, especially at night. She mentioned the ordinances of Tualatin and Gresham in attempting to deal with this problem. Ms Newton asked if the Council wanted staff to pursue this ordinance and take it to the CITs and through the public hearing process. Kristin Paris, Communitv Service Officer, explained that they were proposing to amend an a existing ordinance in order to avoid the lengthy process other cities went through. With the advice of the City Attorney, they have added language to the current "obstructing streets" i ordinance to include "materials" (gravel, barkdust, structures, etc.). The CSOs would respond on a complaint-only basis-, this meant that basketball hoops on quiet streets where 1 the neighbors did not have a problem with it probably would remain. She mentioned that most complaints were about the kids playing in the streets. Mrs. Melvin read the letter she and her husband sent to the Council in October describing their response to the proposed ordinance. She expressed their disappointment that the ordinance did not address their concerns advanced in their May 9, 1996, letter: unsupervised teenagers playing basketball till 10 at night loudly and with vulgar language right in front of their home. She asked why the City purchased more parkland for organized sports yet continued to allow children to play in unsafe situations, such as a busy public street. She j cited the Tualatin ordinance as a possible starting point for a solution. i t - f 9 I CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 5 i F L 1 Mr. Melvin stated that he did not think that the City Council should be in the business of encouraging, condoning or setting the rules for street gangs. He said that permitting games requiring structures to be played on city streets with today's traffic was simply too dangerous. He cited his own experience of zigzagging around kids and hockey goals on SW 103"'. He spoke for confining the structures and the kids to private property. He contended j{ that the streets were designed to move traffic, not accommodate games, and asked the I Council to reaffirm their proper use. In response to a comment from Councilor Hunt, Mr. Melvin said that the ordinance did not prohibit playing basketball in the street if the hoop was off the public right of way. He pointed out that hockey and other games were not addressed in the ordinance, and argued 1 that eventually the City would have to deal with this situation because the increasing traffic increased the danger to motorists and children. Councilor Hunt asked for clarification on whether or not this ordinance would conflict with } i the solid waste ordinance requiring placement of garbage cans on sidewalks. Staff said that they would check on that. Mayor Nicoli stated that he was not happy with this ordinance. He pointed out that all communities in the Metro area were downsizing lots in response to Metro mandates. This meant that single family homes no longer had large enough yards where kids could play I these team sports. In addition, developers were now developing the properties with difficult terrain that they would not have touched 10 years ago. He concluded that the streets were the only place left for kids to play. Mayor Nicoli spoke to tolerating children and their play and their noise as part of living in a community. He cited an example of positive street play supervised by parents in a neighborhood in which he had lived. Ile agreed that playing on the street at night or on ;I heavily traveled streets was dangerous and should be stopped for the safety of the children. He said that there had to be a better solution than this ordinance. Mayor Nicoli said that it upset him to hear that people in the community did not want to j hear children play. He noted the efforts in the community to find activities for kids. He contended that if they took away the places for children to play, then they forced them into other less desirable activities. He agreed that vulgar language should be eliminated. He commented that he was very nervous about taking a direction in which they told kids that they did not want them to play when what they (small lot sizes) allowed as a city forced kids , into the streets. I . 5 Mr. Melvin said that they were talking about play that endangered the kids. He contended that kids playing basketball watched the hoop, not the traffic in the street. It was dangerous play. He stated it was not that they did not want to hear children play but that there needed to be some balance to give equal protection to all residents. He said that restricting play to j private property was not telling children that they could not play or that residents would not hear the sounds of them playing. He stated that he did not object to the noise as long as it was within bounds but 10 at night was unreasonable. He asked the Council look at the j Tualatin model as it tried to bring balance to the situation and not take away anyone's rights. f CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 6 ! i r ~ x f .i i Mayor Nicoli said that there was always room for improvement. He concurred that there was a safety issue but noted that he was not aware of it as a safety problem for the City at this time. Officer Paris said that they recommended the ordinance because of the number of complaints they had received from citizens. She said that code enforcement did not want to force kids off the streets but rather to respond to obstructions of the right of way that posed a I safety hazard. j Mayor Nicoli said that he did not agree with stopping kids from playing on a quiet street on j the basis of one neighbor's objection. Officer Paris said that she has not been able stop a anything because she was not able to prove whether or not it was dangerous; the ordinance i did not support that. Mr. Monahan reviewed the various options considered by staff in t 3 dealing with this situation. He said that the issue of concern to the CSOs was the basketball hoop in the street which staff agreed was a potential problem. He said that this ordinance was a start, not a solution. He noted the various concerns that played into finding a solution, including shrinking yards and curved driveways. He commented that playing games in the i street might work on some of the quieter streets. He asked for Council direction. Officer Paris noted the liability issue mentioned by the City Attorney during staff discussions. The City could be liable if they failed to prevent the hazard after a complaint. Ms. Newton said that was the reason they decided to go with a safety approach rather than a permit system such as Tualatin had. , Ms. Newton reported to Councilor Hunt that the solid waste issues were not addressed in the section on obstructing streets; they were addressed in Chapter 11 and needed some work. She said that they would make sure that there was not a conflict. Councilor Scheckla agreed with Mayor Nicoh's comments. He spoke for an activity center I I where families and children could play in a safe place. He commented that the City put in S bike trails for bikers because they did not want them riding on the sidewalks. He spoke for traffic slowing down to watch out for kids playing in the street. He reiterated the E importance of an activity center for supervised play. Mrs. Melvin pointed out that her neighborhood was only halfa mile from Cook Park and its nice basketball court but the kids did not go there. f Mayor Nicoli asked if the Melvins have spoken with the parents of the teenagers involved. Mr. Melvin said that he did not want to name names but that they have spoken to the parents f with no result. He reiterated that during basketball season the kids played three- to four- hour games with only a brief break in between. He said that they just wanted something within reason, reiterating that the kids should not be out after dark. Councilor Hunt spoke for a middle ground. He agreed with Officer Paris that the CSOs t needed to have some authority to remove a dangerous object from the street yet conceded that basketball hoops in some cuts-de-sac posed no danger to anyone. Officer Paris said that they would really like the authority to judge for themselves whether or not something was a i hazard. She cited their training and experience as sufficient basis for making that decision. Councilor Hunt concurred. i f 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 7 rGG[r -i y t.. ~ L" y } o Officer Paris said referred to a code amendment which would give them authority to require the removal of something hazardous in the right of way. Mayor Nicoli commented that the ordinance did not relieve the Melvins' situation. Councilor Moore said that he did not think it was the City's place to solve the noise problem; the neighbors could solve the situation themselves as has happened in the past. He concurred with the Mayor's position against anything that prohibited kids from playing in j the streets. He suggested that parents could require the kids to treat neighbors or cars with i respect or they would lose their play equipment. Councilor Scheckla pointed out that if the Council passed this, the community would show up in force on one side or the other. Ms. Newton said that staff was not looking for Council j action tonight but Council direction on whether or not to move ahead. She mentioned the j permit programs ai G;esha,-,t and Tualatin, saying that they decided 1101 to go wiih those because of the difficulties those communities were having in enforcing them. She reiterated N j that Officers Paris and Wolf simply wanted the authority to judge hazards and enforce removal of a hazard from the right of way. Council discussion continued on the City's role and responsibility for this issue. Mayor Nicoli advised that this was a tough issue for cities. Mr. Monahan clarified that the ordinance was written to address more safety issues than simply kids at play; it included anything in the street that might cause a car to veer and hit something. Mr. Mahon commented that the more the City took parking and kids playing off the street, 1 the more they increased the problem of speeding in the neighborhoods. He asked at what I point did addressing one issue enhance or create a problem elsewhere. He agreed with making the community friendly to children. 1 Councilor Moore said that white he thought the safety emphasis of the ordinance was { heading in the right direction, he wanted to think about it some more. Ms. Newton j suggested that staff prepare a memo discussing enforcement of the ordinance to clarify its 1 intent. The Council decided to revisit this issue at a later time. Mayor Nicoli said that before the Council reconsidered the issue, he wanted to look at the Melvins' situation with staff. 7. REPORT ON PROPOSED PUBLIC RAILROAD CROSSING - MCCALL OIL n I Brian Rater, Development Review Engineer, presented the staff report. He reviewed on the y map the location of the McCall property in between the Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroad tracks, the current access, and the proposed railroad crossing to serve more of the four acre property. Mr. McCall leased the upper portion of the property to a roofing supply company on a longterm lease of 11-12 years. Mr. McCall's initial request to a ODOT was not received favorably by either ODOT or Burlington Northern. ODOT j contended that Mr. McCall has not justified anew public crossing. Burlington Northem was under federal mandate to reduce the number of railroad crossings. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 8 L~ 1 I 1 1 I Mr. Rager stated that the City was involved because a municipality had to act as the advocate for a new public railroad crossing. There is a possibility staff would be asked to 3 testify in court in favor of the crossing. He said that staff talked to Mr. McCall about closing off one driveway in exchange for a new crossing to serve all his property but Mr. l McCall's attorney advised him of difficulties with his leasing agreement should he do so. He explained that Mr. McCall's answer to ODOT's question of why couldn't he use the driveway was the probability that the roofing company would not allow him to do so because it would require a reconfiguration of their storage space and site plan. i 7 Councilor Moore asked if an access put in from the e:.isting access to the undeveloped ti property would meet today's standards. Mr. Rager said that he thought so but noted Mr. McCall's concern about a 'row of trees buffering the industrial zone from the residential neighborhood. a Mayor Nicoli said that he could support the crossing but only if Mr. McCall took the lead and paid 100% of the cost. Mr. Monahan said that staff would still have to work with Mr. McCall to make sure that the City could agree with whatever was said. However the City would bill Mr. McCall for the staff time. Mr. Monahan pointed out a concern for the adjacent residential neighborhood, should the uses of this property intensify as a result of a new railroad crossing. He pointed out that they could not just be in favor of the request because the applicant wanted it. They had to have other reasons so that they could respond to neighborhood concerns. Mayor Nicoli commented on the danger of the intersection now. He spoke to allowing a t different entrance before increasing traffic. NLr. Mottahar, said shat :vas why stair has v explored closing off the other end and making a joint access. He suggested supporting the railroad crossing with a condition, that the other end be closed off. Mayor Nicoli concurred. He reiterated that while Mr. McCall's chances were very slim, but if he was willing to reimburse the City for staff time, he did not see a problem with it. 7 In response to questions by Councilor Scheckla, Mr. Monahan said that one of the tracks could be used for passenger rail. Mr. Rager said that Mr. McCall would be obligated for improvements along "Tigard Street, including vridening it. Mr. Monahan said that j j developing the property might improve the poor drainage in the area by channeling the ,a water into a system. I The Council agreed by consensus to support the railroad crossing on the condition that Mr. J j McCall close off the entrance at the other end. 1 8. STATUS OF STREET LIGHT POLE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM Gus Duenas, Proiect Engineer, reported that staff had $48,000 this year for the program which included testing and replacement of 35 to 40 bulbs a year. a J CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 21, 1997 - PAGE 9 3 l d Cniinrilnr Mnnre ached if the City `.r d hire » consultant to do !he. iPCtinv Mr 17prnac said that they would hire a consultant but were still investigating the possibilities. Mr. Duenas presented a map showing the areas of the City currently not lit. He asked the Council if staff should include privately owned streets in their analysis of what should or should not be lit. 3 The Council discussed extensively the issue of street lights on private streets, in particular who should pay for installation and maintenance. Councilor Moore contended that the City should not mandate what kind of light was put in on private property if the neighbors paid for it. The Council agreed that additional lighting from the City had to be in the public right of way; private streets would be privately lit at the neighborhood's own expense. Mr. Monahan asked if Council had any preference on spending the money to light local streets versus heavily traveled streets. The Council decided to send the question through the h CIT process. Mayor Nicoli suggested waiting to do so until they found some funding for the program. Councilor Hunt suggested looking at a program for lighting private streets that was similar " to the LID program for sewers and the 50% program for speed humps. 9. NON AGENDA ITEMS Mr. Monahan asked if Council wanted to devote a single meeting to goal setting or keep it J on a regular meeting night. After discussion, the Council directed staff to keep goal setting - on February 18 ' and to limit the number of additional agenda items. 10.

Commission be delineated and clarified? BACKGROUND: There has been some confusion recently regarding the ;d role of the CITs and the Planning Commission and their members involvement in issues facing the City. The City Council asked staff to discuss the issue with the Planning Commission and CIT . Facilitators. The CIT Facilitators met on Monday March 11. A copy of their notes is attached. The Pla_-nnir_g Commission and City Council discussed the issue at their March 19 joint work session. ( r; a cccv of those minutes is also attached. At the March 19 joint work session, Council, directed staff to prepare a recommendation outlining a process for defining the role fl of the Planning Commission and the CT_Ts. ANALYSIS: Staff reviewed the comments made by the CIT Facilitators, the Planning Commission, and the Council. In addition, the pros and cons of the process used for Metro Green i 3 Spaces funding was discussed. Staff also considered the ournose t.._ C_-s and the ?lannin g Ccmmissi n.

Monahan, City Manager R DATE: December 31, 1996 SUBJECT: Traffic Calming Committee Report The Traffic Calming Committee, led by Beverly Froude and Pamela Moyers, held a series of ` meetings in 1996 to evaluate neighborhood traffic problems in Tigard and make recommendations. The committee completed its work with a meeting on November 14 ipvolvi- several City - ;,tat,ve; (Police, Engineering, Development, and .cpresc Administration). The Committee is prepared to attend the January 21, 1997 Study Session of Council to discuss committee findings. Three documents have been prepared by the Committee for use during the process: 1. Tigard's Traffic Task Force - states the mission of the committee and the agendas for the six meetings. 2, Traffic Calming - a description of techniques used in traffic calming. 3. Findings and Recommendations of the Traffic Calming Committee in 1996. a } Also attached is a staff memo responding to the Committee's Findings and Recommendations. WAM\jh attachments 33 i:Umti11\ 122496-2.dm i _ k _ o TIGARD'S TRAFFIC TASK FORCE OUR NMSION: a Awareness of neighborhood traffic issues: Speeding, cut-though traffic, increasing traffic on our neighborhood streets are our individual responsibilities. This task force will make each member aware of tine neighborhood traffic issues in their neighborhood and CIT area. this awareness will also include the neighbors on our streets, the residents of Tigard and the larger community of non-residents who travel on our j streets. The aim of the task force is to: } 1. To identify the neighborhood streets that are a problem. 2. Identify who is causing the problem or problems. ; 3. Brainstorm for solutions to the local problem amd for... 4. Ideas that we can implement along with the city of Tigard, I 1 Tigard Police Force, Washington County and ODOT. . The program agenda is: Meeting #1: t. Does speeding for cut-through traffic occur on neighborhood streets in vour CIT? I j Discussion will include: I i. What is a neighborhood street? 2. Who is doing the speeding or cutting through? 3. Where is the problem happening in your CIT (specific street names) 4. What do you see as a possible solution to the problem? The discussion will take place around these and other issues that will come from our discussion. We will begin to focus on why there is a ;g problem and possible solutions. i s. i r ' a i Meeting #2: a ~ a Traffic calming ideas--are they the answer to neighborhood traffic issues. This session will include a discussion of traffic calming tools like traffic circles, speed humps, stop signs and curb extensions. We would like Gary Alf6n to talk to us about the budgeting process for 1996-97 for speed humps and any other input he can give i regarding traffic calming. s + Meeting #3: The city of Tigard Police Department has certain streets that have signs "strictly enforced" We would like a presentation from Officer Jennings `j on the effectiveness of these signs. Can this program be enlarged to cover other streets? The discussion will also include more active ' involvment with neighborhood traffic issues like speeding and running I Meeting #4: - :E j Speed limits: Do you know who sets speed limits? Do you feel the speed' limit in your neighborhood is the correct one? This discussion will include someone for ODOT who should explain all about the setting of speed limits on streets. The speaker should also describe how h=ilts can ~ . be changed and to explain the 85% travel speed and the Basic Rule. I Meeting #5c 1 What is happening on the major arterials that cause problems on the neighborhood streets? Why is there a need to cut-through a neighborhood and speed in the process? We need someone form the city of Tigard, Washington county, and ODOT to talk with us about RELIEF for the outside- Hwy 99, 217, proposed new toll road, Hall Blvd., McDonald, and other ideas. Y i J Meeting #6: i Finally, some action ideas: These ideas will involve the CIT's and the people in the individual neighborhoods talking about walking paths/sidewalks in their neighborhoods, signs on lawns moved around from one area to j another and other ideas from earlier meetings. Other Ideas: -Reader board with speed number with camera to take license and send out letters of awareness. - Big banner moved from area to area within the CIT community. - Slow Down for Kids Sake in conjunction with TV station 1 PTV { - Benches at bus stops 7 Your ideas: 9 2. -222 3. - - 5. k 6. i 7. G 8. 9. 10. t TRAFFIC CALMING Traffic Calming: A traffic planning approach which seeks to maximize mobility while creating a more livable city by reducing the undesirable side effects of the mobility. Using design techniques to slow traffic and increase safety, neighborhood livability, access by pedestrians and alternative modes of transportation. There are two basic priniciples associated with Traffic Calming: • Principle 1: Roads are just not for cars. • Principle 2: Residents have rights. i j Examples of Traffic Calming methods are: 1. Traffic circles: Traffic circles are raised islands placed in an intersection. The ff., primary purpose of a traffic circle is to slow high-speed traffic. They are most effective when use in a series on a local service street. 2. CtUb Extensions: Curb extensions narrow the street by widening the sidewalks or the i # landscape parking strip. They make it easier for pedestrians to cross because streets are narrower. Curb extensions show motorists they are on a non-arterial route. I 3. Speed Humps: Speed humps are currently being testpri as a device to slow vehicle speeds on a local streets. There are 3 types: one which is 12 ft. wide, another that is 14 feet wide and a third type 22 feet in length. 4. Stop liens: Stop signs are used to assign: right-of-way at an intersection. They are j installed at intersections where an accident problem is identified or where unremovable visibility problems exist (buildings, etc.) Stop signs are generally not installed to divert traffic or reduce speeding. In fact, using a stop sign solely to regulate speed typically i. causes negative traffic safety impacts (running the signs and increased accidents) j 5. Photo Radar: Photo radar is a speed enforcement tool operated by trained police officers. The system uses a radar unit to detect speeding vehicles. When a speeding vehicle is detected, a photograph is taken of the driver and license plate. Citations are then mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. ` 6. "Skinny Streets": Skinny streets is a program allowing and encouraging newly paved 11 residential streets to be narrower, down from 32 feet to 20 or 26 feet wide. This makes ` neighborhood streets safer due to slower traffic. 7. Increased Parking on h Street: Increased parking makes a street look narrower and causes motorists to slow down. VT~ SPEED BUMPS 1 w DESCRIP'T'ION: Speed bumps are asphalt mounds constructed on streets and spaced 300 to 600 feet apart Portland uses two different shapes of speed bump according to the conditions and needs of a given street. On residential streets where speeds of 25 mph are desired, speed bumps that are 14 feet wide and ramp up to a height of 3 inches might be used. On streets where speeds of 30 mph are desired, 22 foot speed bumps might be used. On streets that are used by transit vehicles, are considered primary fire response routes by the Portland Fire Bureau or have exceptionally high volumes, the 22 foot bump may be selected to minimize any negative effects of the speed bumps. I PURPOSE: Speed bumps are intended to reduce vehicle speeds. f. EFFECTIVENESS: Fourteen-foot speed bumps are very effective at encouraging 25 mph vehicle speeds. Twenty-two- foot speed bumps are very effective at encouraging 30 mph vehicle speeds. COST: Speed bumps cost approximately $2,000-2,500 each. I PARKING IMPACTS: None. i TRANSIT SERVICE IMPACTS: Like other vehicles, buses must cross a speed bump at reduced speeds. Experience shows that 22 foot speed bumps do not impede transit service or scheduling. Riding over speeds bumps does not significantly bother transit riders. j i. EMERGENCY SERVICES IMPACTS: Like other vehicles, emergency response vehicles must cross a speed bump at reduced speeds. The speed bump design selected for any street takes into consideration whether it is used as a primary z i response route. The Portland Fire Bureau reviews all speed bumps that are proposed on their primary n, response routes. - NOISE IMPACTS: Speed buraps generate some noise. The only mitigation is to consider a bump's proximity to homes C. when determining where bumps might be located. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Traffic volumes typically decrease slightly after speed bumps are constructed. In no case has traffic increased noticeably on neighboring streets. Speed bumps are not constructed on gra, les greater than 8%. EXAMPLES IN PORTLAND: L - SW Boones Ferry Rd, Taylors Ferry to Terwilliger. SE Harold, 52nd to Foster Rd. ' IU TRAFFIC CIRCLES DESCRIPTION: Traffic circles are raised islands placed in an intersection. They are landscaped with ground cover and street trees. Traffic circles require drivers to slow to a speed that allows them to comfortably = maneuver around them. PURPOSE: The primary purpose of a traffic circle is to slow high-speed traffic. An additional benefit is that they reduce the number of angle- and turning-type collisions. EFFECTIVENESS: Traffic circles are very effective at lowering speeds in their immediate vicinity. Traffic circles are j most effective when constructed in a series on a local service street. COST: Traffic circles cost approximately $10,000 to $15,000 each. PARKING IMPACTS: A minimum of 30 feet of curbside parking must be prohibited along the through street at all four f comers of the intersection. TRANSIT SERVICE IMPACT'S: Tri Met buses can maneuver around traffic circles at slow speeds provided vehicles are not illegally E, parked near the circles. EMERGENCY SERVICES IMPACTS: i Fire trucks can maneuver around traffic circles at slow speeds provided vehicles are not illegally parked near the circles. NOISE IMPACTS: Noise impacts are minimal. There may be some noise related to vehicles decelerating and accelerating near the circles. f" 2 r I OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: If well-maintained, traffic circles can be very attractive. However, there are also a lot of traffic control signs and pavement markings associated with circles that are not so attractive. Traffic circles are less effective at T-intersections and very difficult to design for offset intersections. EXAMPLES IN PORTLAND: SE Lincoln/Harrison, between 20di and 60th Ave. SE Clinton, between 12th and 52nd Ave. NE 15th, north of Broadway. 11INFIT"', 7- , - P I CURB CXYTENSIONS y DESCRIPTION: Curb extensions narrow the street by widening the sidewalk or the landscaped parking strip. PURPOSE: These devices are employed to make pedestrian crossings easier and to narrow the roadway. EFFECTIVENESS: Curb extensions effectively improve pedestrian safety by reducing the street crossing distance and f improving sight distance. They may also slightly influence driver behavior by changing the appearance of the street. , COST: Curb extensions costs $7,000-10,000. PARKING IMPACTS: Parking impacts are minimal. However, each curb extension occupies street area that might otherwise be available for curbside parking. I TRANSIT SERVICE IMPACTS: Curb extension do not adversely impact transit service. Curb extensions at transit stops enhance service by moving the curb so riders step directly between the sidewalk and bus door. EMERGENCY SERVICES IMPACTS: None. NOISE IMPACTS: None. E OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Where the crowns of the street are steep, curb extensions may actually go "uphill" because the new curb is higher than the original curb. If poorly designed, this can result in puddles on the sidewalk. EXAMPLES IN PORTLAND: SE Harold, between 52nd and Foster Rd. SE I I th and 12th, between Division and Hawthorne Blvd. t I Et -q o " ® a S;.OWPO!NTS DESCRIPTION: Slow points are raised concrete islands that are 6 to 8 feet wide and located in the center of a through street. They may be constructed at mid-block locations or at intersections. PURPOSE: Slow points narrow the roadway that is available to a driver, provide a visual cue to drivers that they are in a popular pedestrian area, and provide a refuge for pedestrians so they can cross a street one half at a time if they prefer. EFFECTIVENESS: Slow points are effective pedestrian amenities but have minimal influence on a driver's behavior. COST: t Slow points cost $8,000-15,000. PARKING IMPACTS: Mid-block slowpoints would require approximately 150 feet of parking removal on both sides of the street. An intersection slowpoint would require a total of 100 feet of parking removal on both sides of the street. TRANSIT SERVICE IMPACTS: None. EMERGENCY SERVICES IMPACTS: None. NOISE IMPACTS: I: - None. ~II OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Slowpoints have usually been used to supplement a pre-existing crosswalk, as compared to creating a new crosswalk location. EXAMPLES IN PORTLAND: NE 15th, north of Broadway. NW Cornell Rd, north of Lovejoy.

Request more streets to have "STRICTLY -ENFORCED" signs with frequent police enforcement. .,/hen a "STRICTLY ENFORCED" sign is removed for any reason from a street find another street that qualifies immediately and place the sign there. ? Land uses affect transportation A. Subdivision streets are very important to the transportation system, especially the connecting street through the subdivision. The Development Code and the Planning Department of the City should have direction and discretion to design subdivisions so driveways don't back out on main collector/connector streets. Ar. example of s this is Hillshire Estates on Bull Mountain with the main street through the development that has all of the driveways backing out onto the street. This is a tremendous problem because of the volume of traffic using this street and the speeds the traffic goes. B. There are too many driveways allowed on the main thoroughfares that are used by business. Highway 99, Hall Blvd., Greenburg Rd., etc. i This slows down the movement of traffic significantly. 1 C. More conditions placed on developers to do major off-site improvements on streets surrounding the developments, including residential, schools, churches, business, etc. These developments pay a TIF fee and improvements to the surrounding streets should be made with f, these funds an all developments. There is usually a substantial impact from developments on the surrounding infracture including roads and sidewalks/walking paths, stop signs and stop lights. l D. The City Council should continue to actively persue improvements to f Highway 99 and all other major road systems in the Tigard area, Because the major roadway system is clogged, the neighborhood streets j are getting too much traffic cutting through and exceeding the speed ` limit. 9 E. Is there a need to examine the posted speed on streets in Tigard? Is the functional classification of the street system satisfactory j i or should it be looked at? Are the streets functioning as the classification and speeds posted adequately? ? 4. A Sidewalk/walking path improvement program should be initiated so all streets in Tigard have a safe walking area on all streets. 5. We propose more police enforcement for traffic patrol. We know this will require more funding and we feel a program for gathering information about this suggestion should be developed. We would need to get and receive information from the citizens of Tigard; form a task force to look at possible ways to fund this idea and have the support of the community and the City Council. 6. LAST BUT NOT LEAST - Education and involvement of the citizens in all of the neighborhoods in Tigard. We need to be made aware of how much we all contribute to traffic problems, the tools that are available to be used in neighborhoods by citizens and-how each of us can make a difference by 1 becoming involved and helping find a solution to speeding and cut-through + traffic in our neighborhoods. 3 j a } I l~ ~J , MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON a TO: Bill Monahan FROM: Greg Berry 0)2? DATE: January 9, 1997 I SUBJECT: Findings and Recommendations of the Traffic Calming Committee As requested, responses to the individual findings and recommendations as numbered on the attached memo from the Committee follow. 1. Traffic calming devices including speed humps will be included in the recommended budget for 1997 - 1998. 3.A. City staff currently has the authority and direction to limit driveways along collector streets where feasible. In a residential subdivisions where a developer is required to construct an entire j,. collector street, such as Hilishire Estates, staff has found that prohibiting driveways to the collector street is not feasible since this would require lots to have a collector street along the back lot line i and another public street along the front lot line resulting in less desirable lots and excessive construction costs to the developer. 3.B. As development occurs, staff is alert for opportunities to minimize driveways in commercial a areas by the creation of service roads or by common accesses to two or more businesses. In a few cases, the effect of new driveways has been reduced by prohibiting left turns from or to the driveway. New commercial driveways onto collectors are not permitted unless there is no other feasible access. A 3.1). Currently, there are several efforts underway to improve these streets. Staff will keep informed of these efforts and advise the Council as required to ensure that the City receives the full benefit of these efforts. However; funding through the County's Major Street Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP), generally relied upon to fund these projects including improvements to SW Hall Blvd. at SW Pacific Highway, remains uncertain as a result of Measure 47. ;i 3.E. The posted speed limits are believed to be appropriate. Current street planning efforts are 4 expected to review the classification of streets with a view towards placing some streets at a higher # { classification that could increase speed limits. v t'. F: Y' I 1 4. Sidewalks are typically installed by developers along with other streets improvements as development occurs. Sidewalks along collectors and arterials are also installed as part of City, a County or State projects. Additional funding would be required for the City to install sidewalks 1j along local streets. I ENG\GREG%TRAFF-M3. DOG i - r W, I r ~ l TO: Bill Monahan, City Manager PROM: Ron Goodpaster, Police Chief DATE: January 8, 1997 E SUBJECT: Traffic Calming f i. a I have discussed the recommendations the Traffic Calming Committee made with Greg Berry. The three recommendations that directly address the Police Department are numbers 2, 5 and 6. 3 Recommendation 42 addressed the "strictly enforced" signs we currently use for our operation slowdown. At this time there are no plans to expand the program to other streets. We now have five areas that are posted; Locust, Summerfield, Omara, North Dakota and 97th. Springwood was also a posted area but the posting was removed after the speed humps were installed. In these areas the enforcement is stricter as to what speeds are allowed and officers are directed to them on a more frequent basis than non posted streets. The effectiveness of the slowdov.-n seas ® ! is based on our ability to regularly work them with directed traffic enforcement. We arc ' concerned we will not be able to adequately patrol the areas if they are expanded. We are having some problems now getting to them because of the increased work load and could be further 1. restricted depending on the final outcome as to how ballot measure #47 effects the department. j After we know more about the effects of the measure we will reconsider the addition to the areas. i Recommendation #5 proposed more police enforcement. We are waiting for the Visioning process the City is conducting to further evaluate our traffic enforcement. And again, we are waiting to see what the effect of the ballot measure is on the department. As we leave positions vacant and don't add the new tax base positions that further hampers our ability to concentrate on traffic enforcement. We continually monitor our current traffic enforcement efforts and try to ! direct them to the main problem spots and overall utilize them the best we can. In addition to the officers specifically assigned traffic enforcement we have developed some performance guidelines for the patrol officers and are using them more and more for directed patrol . Recommendation 46 talked about education. I think you can always do more in this area. i : L~ J 1 Currently we have a neighborhood speed watch program, a speed reader board we use in the t neighborhoods, operation slow down, tri-star speed surveying and vehicle count, and frequently conduct neighborhood meetings regarding traffic problems. We have used a billboard, a i. mannequin in a police vehicle and numerous news articles to educate people on our traffic problems. We also work very closely with engineering to address traffic complaints. Without E, sounding repetitive, one of the positions currently frozen vacant is the crime prevention officer who did spend a good deal of his time in dealing with these type of public education efforts. k Our current efforts in this area are somewhat curtailed because of the vacancy but, if possible, we hope to get back to full programming in the near future. 1 To be able to effectively address, let alone resolve traffic related issues, there are three main components that have to occur, we refer to them as the three E's, engineering, education and enforcement. I think the Calming Committee appropriately addressed these areas and I would hope that the citizen involvement to address these types of community related traffic problems i continues. 3 , r7' 1 A MEMORANDUM City of Tigard CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON 1144 I a TO: City Council i FROM: Jim Hendryx DATE: January 3, 1997 SUBJECT: Traffic Calming- Related to Development Code Access (Ch. 18.108) o Arterial and Collector Streets - access prohibited unless no other option; o Minor Collector and Local Streets - allow direct access; k? ` o Director may restrict or require coordination of access if access can cause k j hazardous conditions; o Access is reviewed at the time of site development and subdivision review; Streets (Ch. 18.164) I o The City allows skinny streets (adopted in 1994) of 24-28 feet of roadway width; the Fire District requires an unobstructed 20 feet of passage way; the City normally requires 28 feet unless topographical conditions warrant J narrower streets or parking is otherwise facilitated; the 28 foot surface f allows parking on one side of the street; i { o Sidewalks are required with all new development on either both sides or one side of the street depending on the right of way and topography; walkway I connections are required between developments and streets and adjacent developments; ~ i j ' 1 xdM .

RaLL Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 Dear Hs Newton: i We are very disappointed in the narrow scope of the proposed street basketball ordinance that city administration has pre- pared for city council approval. We had hoped that after all these months of discussions between your office, the city at- torney, and law enforcement, your proposed ordinance would ad- dress some of the issues we advanced in our May 9, 1996 letter to you. Your ordinance will undoubtedly make code enforcement easier because it is concerned only with the placement of the play- structure itself. But it does nothing for homeowners and ax- payers who are entitled to the peace and privacy of our homes. ;i When the long basketball season shortly resumes, we will again ® j be beleaguered by months of unrestrained, loud (and at times 1 vulgar) street basketball by a gang of unsupervised teenagers. { Many times we have had to request that it be stopped well after ; dark, even as late as 10 P.M. A Where in your ordinance is there any consideration or protection for us against this public nuisance? Why do we continue to ac- i quire more parkland for organized sports activities and then 4 3 allow them in unsafe places such as public, busy streets? ,j Your team apparently dismissed the Tualatin Ordinance on street basketball we forwa4ed with our May 9 letter. Although it un- fortunately did not ban the activity, it could, with a few minor j changes be adopted by Tigard as a compromise we could all live with. We would appreciate your continuing to keep us informed as to the ! progress of this proposed ordinance. When it is heard by city council we will be recommending additional provisions.

OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE McCall Oil: Proposed Public Railroad Crossing PREPARED BY: Brian Raker DEPT HEAD OK ~Y CITY ADMIN OK " ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL, 1. Is a proposed at-grade public railroad crossing for McCall Oil warranted from a public benefit i sy standpoint? t 2. Should the City support the proposed application with the use of its Staff? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff does not have a recommendation at this time. f INFORMATION SUMMARY I M4 cwt 1994, Bob McCall proposed development of his 3.87 acre parcel (WCTM IS1 35CC, Tax Lot 4000), which is located between two railroads, the Southern Pacific (SPRR) and Burlington Northern Sante Fe (BNSF) lines. S McCall began exploring how to gain access to his site and proposed that the City allow a public crossing of the j ! BNSF tracks. Over the last couple of years, McCall has proceeded to make a formal application for the public j crossing. See Attachment I for a chronological order of events. ODOT's policy with respect to public railroad crossings, is to regulate the construction of new crossings and only approve those crossings that are truly needed J and will be safe for public use. ODOT and BNSF believe that the proposed crossing is not justified because 1 McCall owns property adjacent to his site that currently has an access onto SW Tiedeman Street. ODOT and BNSF also have safety concerns with respect to the location of the crossing. See Attachments 2 and 3 for ODOT and BNSF letters. McCall states that legal obligations relating to his lease agreement on the adjacent property prevent him from gaining access to Tiedeman. He desires that the City proceed with the present application. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED FISCAL NOTES i If Council chooses to pursue a public crossing, the City could pursue a couple of options for funding of any Staff time involved: 1. Pay for Staff time out of current City budget. It is not anticipated that additional "ersonnel would be needed for this work. 2. Require McCall Oil to reimburse the City for any Staff time spent on the application. 2 1 h J s~ - ~s ;i ATTACHMENT ! MEMORANDUM P^ CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON DATE: January 21, 1997 TO: FILE: McCall Railroad Crossing FROM: Brian Rager, Development Review Engineer _i RE: Chronology of Staff Involvement to Date DATE EVENT May 12, 1994 A pre-application conference was held with Mr. McCall regarding potential development of his site to include a 60,000 sf warehouse with flex space. June 8, 1994 Engineering Staff (Michael Anderson) spoke with David Lanning (then with PUC) regarding applications for railroad crossings. ~ Anderson did so at the request of McCall. Lanning indicated that C such a crossing would need to be "public" and the "local road authority" would need to file as the applicant (City of Tigard). June 13, 1994 McCall submitted written request to City for a public crossing of the Burlington-Northern railroad tracks. July 18, 1994 City obtained a copy of the necessary railroad crossing application from PUC. July 22, 1994 Michael Anderson sent a letter to Bob McCall enclosing the PUC application. The letter stated that McCall would be responsible for all information in the application and the City Engineering ' Department's role would be to review and approve the material . before signing the application. It also stressed that McCall would need to address certain justification criteria required by the PUC. . November 11, 1994 McCall submitted a "Draft Review" of his railroad crossing application with supporting data from David Evans and Associates (DEA). February 8, 1996 Gary Alfson (then Interim City Engineer) took in the PUC application from McCall and forwarded on to David Lanning, PUC. PAGE1 j J I February 14, 11996 A second pre-application was held with Mr. McCall and DEA to discuss the construction of a public street (cul-de-sac) from SW 9 Tigard Street, across the B&N RR tracks. into McCall's parcel. Gary Alfson received a letter from David Lanning informing that PUC was absorbed into Oregon Department of Transportation. David now works in ODOT's Traffic Management Section, 11 Crossing Safety Unit. Lanning's letter indicated that ODOT could not accept a railroad crossing from a private property owner. The t 1 local road jurisdiction would have to submit the application for the public crossing. Lanning enclosed a new electronic format for the rail crossing application. This information was passed on to ` 1 McCall and DEA. 5 , ,i May 9, 1996 After reviewing the proposed application, prepared by DEA, Brian Rager, Development Review Engineer and Greg Berry, Interim City Engineer signed the application on behalf of the City and sent # it to ODOT. "l June 3, 1996 The City received a letter from David Lanning, ODOT, dated May 30, 1996, with questions related to the application. ODOT was 1 most concerned with the fact that McCall owns a parcel of land 1 adjacent to the site where development is proposed and the adjacent land has an existing access onto SW Tiedeman Street. It is ODOT's opinion that McCall has access and therefore does not need the public crossing. This letter was forwarded to McCall and DEA. { I June 17, 1996 City received a letter from Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), I dated June 12, 1996, opposing the proposed crossing, citing recent f efforts to eliminate 25% of existing highway/railroad at-grade I crossings by the year 2000. BNSF believes McCall has the ability to gain access through his adjacent parcel and also is concerned about the location of the proposed crossing in the middle of a 111 curve. This letter was also forwarded to McCall and DEA. June 26, 1996 DEA prepared a DRAFT response to the ODOT and BNSF letters. ;g this DRAFT was sent to ODOT for review by DEA. McCall claims that he can not access through adjacent parcel because of legal obligations with a long-term lease on the parcel. August 15, 1996 Brian Rager spoke with David Lanning via phone to further discuss the proposed crossing. Lanning indicated that in addition to the access issue, ODOT and BNSF have concerns with regard to the safety of the proposed crossing. He indicated that if the City I1 PAGE 2 { i 1 J now . 1 t were to pursue the crossing further, it would likely end up in an appeal hearing and the City would be called upon to testify on behalf of the application. Lanning also suggested that in lieu of pursuing a crossing. McCall should speak directly with the two 1 railroads (SPRR and BNSF) about consolidation of the two parallel tracks (this has been discussed by the railroad companies in the past). Rager then spoke to McCall, who agreed to pursue this. j September 10, 1996 McCall reported back that he had not been successful in talking to 3 the railroad companies about consolidation. McCall indicated that he desired to continue forward with the present application. f i October 17, 1996 City staff met to discuss the various options for City action. It was decided that in light of staffs time spent on this crossing issue thus 1 far and the potential for a hearing, which would require additional staff time, Council should be briefed on the situation and presented J~ with the options before moving forward. y CIENGIBRIANRWiCCALLLMEM f ~ PAGE 3 _ i 1 I ATTACHMENT 2 j fit' 1 1 v ungon May 30, 1996 v - o PO OF TRANSPORTATION I BRIAN RAGER CITY OF TIGARD Traffic 1%1anagemrnt 13125 SW HALL BLVD Scc1t"" TIGARD OR 97223 T rILE: CODE: - RX 777: In the Matter of the Construction of a New Railroad-Highway Grade Crossing at McCall Way and BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD, Oregon Electric Branch, leased to PORTLAND & WESTERN RAILROAD, f " L INC., in Tigard, Washington County, Oregon. k. j i Your application has been received in the above matter. Crossing Safety Unit (CSU) staff has the following comments/questions regarding the application.

Since 1992, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal { Railroad Administration and Federal Highway Administration have agreed to II pursue the elimination of approximately 25 percent of all existing at-grade crossings. The goal has been to attempt to accomplish this objective by the year 2000- In view of this policy statement, staff will carefully review any proposals for new crossings to assure that we are working to meet our stated objectives. I ; Specific Comments: i Title Page, Item 1.3. Location of Project: 3 The railroad milepost is not correct based on the existing location of the Tiedeman Avenue grade crossing No. 3E-031.40. The proposed grade crossing is located to ;i the east (railroad east) from Tiedeman Avenue. This means the railroad milepost C location for the proposed crossing should be qreater than 31.40. Please confer with the railroad company and provide the corrected milepost location. 3 Page 2, Item 1.5. Description of Proiect Scope. Staff requires additional information.

Brian Rager May 30, 1996 Page 3 Staff's preliminary position is the proposed crossing would only meet the test of public convenience and necessity (PC&N) if applicant or Mr. McCall provide evidence supporting the position that alternate access is not available. If the PC&N test is met successfully, stuff is in agreement with the proposed installation of au+ vatic warning devices and other required signing for the crossing to assure L that it will be safe for public use.

McCall I Dear Mr. Rager: f a Please refer to the Oregon Department of Transportation's letter dated May 30, 1996 5 concerning a proposed New Railroad-Highway At-Grade Crossing at McCall Way. j The Burlington Railroad has a policy to disallow additional at-grade road crossing's based on the safety the train crews and the motoring public, with the ever present potential for vehicular and train collisions, which create our exposure to potential 3 liabilities, even though provided with automatic warning devices. I Also, Burlington Northern, along with other members of the Association of American Railroads, the United States Department of Transportation, and the Federal Highway 1 Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration is intensifying its efforts to promote safety programs for the elimination of railroad grade crossings and upgrading present crossing protection, in accordance with the Federal Aid Highway Program Manual and Federal Aid Highway Acts of 1973, 1976 and 1992 Guidelines and at Recommendations, which are: j (1) Elimination of grade crossings (a) Close existing grade crossing where possible (b) Construct grade separations (c) Relocate highways and / or railroads (d) Establish no new crossings at-grade (2) Upgrade remaining grade crossing's in accordance with priority established { by designated State and Federal agencies 3 In 1992 our Company was advised by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the a Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Highway Administration that they are pursuing a proposal to close 25% of the existing highway / railroad at-grade crossings i by the year 2000. This percentage will be a very difficult figure to pursue, in light of i requests such as your own, that are presented for consideration. ;a In reviewing the application and drawing's that have been submitted, it appears that the proposed crossing is intended for a commercial venture that will include truck traffic that will evidently transport hazardous materials. :3 i I i From, the drawings that have been subinilted, i also fir id ihai the proposed crossing appears to be located in the middle of a five degree railroad curve. The placing of a road crossing at this location will obscure the sight distance for both the motorist and the train crews. ;j In the application, paragraph 1.9 states that the existing site is land-locked and it can only be accessed from Tigard Street by building a new connection across the railroad ? track, however it also states in paragraph 1.8 that the adjacent parcel is also owned by R.H. McCall. i It would then appear that an access roadway could be connected with the adjacent parcel to gain access to Tiedeman Avenue that currently has automatic warning devices in place. 7 ti Finally, this is to advise that our Company opposes the opening of this new proposed " at-grade road crossing.

Direction requested from Council to guide establishment of a program for new street light installations. jj STAFF RECOMMENDATION ~l 1. Briefing to Council on the status of the street light pole replacement program authorized in the 1996-97 Fiscal Year Budget. No Council action required. ® 2. That the Council provide direction on whether or not private streets should be included in the establishment of a program to provide street lighting improvements in poorly lit areas of the City. ,M INFORMATION SUMMARY . 1. Streetlight Pole Replacement Program: The City has approximately 325 wooden street light poles, some of l which are deteriorated and in urgent need of replacement. The staff has identified the city owned street' light poles and is prepared to select a materials testing consultant to test poles for soundness and to make recommendations for replacement. This testing program will test a sampling of poles from each area to l determine representative pole condition for each area. The testing will examine the base of the poles at least a 18 inches below existing ground for evidence of deterioration. If deteriorated poles are found within an area, more extensive testing may be performed to determine the number of poles that need to be replaced within that area. From the testing program, a schedule for pole replacement in phases can be established. Funds have been set aside in the 1996-97 budget to begin the pole replacement this year. Sufficient finds are available to replace approximately 35-45 poles, depending upon actual prices at the time of bidding. The replacement program is proposed to continue in effect until all deteriorated poles are replaced. The . pole testing will be performed over the next few months with the goal of replacing some of the more deteriorated poles in late spring or early summer. 2. New Street Light Installation Program: The intent of the Council goal (Goal #18. Review the City's Street Light Policy) regarding the Street Light Program is to identify the areas of the city that are not currently lit, but may need lighting to enhance pedestrian visibility and assist in crime prevention. The current policy is to provide city funded lighting improvements only on collectors and arterials. Installation of new street ? lights on existing local streets are currently paid for by adjoining property owners. The City will pay all j i I L~ 1 subsequent energy and maintenance costs after the lights have been installed and accepted by the City. For new developments, the developer must pay for the installation of new lights and for the first two years of energy and maintenance costs. `j The staff has prepared a map showing areas of the city that have street lights installed (see attached map). 1 The next steps are to identify those areas that are most in need of lighting and to establish a program to r prioritize and install street lights in those areas. The question that needs to be answered in the analysis of the deficient areas is: Should private streets be considered in the program? There are numerous private streets scattered throughout the city. The staff has identified many of these streets as shown in the attached ` drawings. This issue is closely connected with the larger issue of private streets within Tigard, but the program does not need to wait for resolution of that larger issue. Guidance from Council is requested so that the program to prioritize and initiate street light improvements can proceed. OTHER ALTERNATIVFS CONSIDERED I Dispense with testing of street light poles and replace poles only as needed based on visual inspection and obvious signs of deterioration. 2. Delay the decision on inclusion of private streets in the program by including all streets, public and private, in the assessment of areas that need lighting, then exclude private streets if that is the decision of Council in the future. I FISCAL NOTES Out of the $93,000 currently budgeted for street light repair and maintenance, $48,000 was set aside for pole replacement. The replacement cost is expected to be $1,000-$1,500 per pole. The cost for testing of the poles will f be on a time and material basis. While there are no historical records available to provide a basis for a per pole cost, the testing is not expected to exceed $75 per pole. Funding for the testing will also be from the street light repair and maintenance account. _ At this point, there is no budget for the New Street Light Installation Program. All studies have been performed f with inhouse staff. Once the program has been established and approved, the funding level for implementation will be determined and submitted to Council. j I XCITYVNMSUWSTLTBRFG DOC ' ~s s tea,°. - °.5=w*.` - C I TY O F= T I GA R D ~n~~;,V°o° .
