C. At the next CCAC meeting, the commission members should be ready to nominate
the CCAC officers who will begin in the 2013 term.
D. Neal Brown, who also spoke to the CCAC at the September 2012
meeting, re-introduced himself as a realtor and Bull Mountain resident who lives
within the city limits. Mr. Brown spoke to the committee about another downtown
building that might be a possible site for recreation center in downtown Tigard. Mr.
Brown said he had also spoken to the PRAB about purchasing a building for a
community recreation center. The PRAB will ask Council to do a feasibility study for
a recreation department next year. Mr. Brown said he is asking CCAC for their
support to locate a community center in the downtown area versus other areas of
town. Commissioner Murphy pointed out if the property becomes public it goes off
the tax rolls and that's less money for the Urban Renewal District.
AGENDA ITEM #4: Liaison / subcommittee reports
CCDA, Art Subcommittee, Fafade Improvement Joint Committee, PRAB-CCACJoint
Committee
A. CCDA — No meeting in November.
B. Art Subcommittee. Chair Craghead said the committee met the previous week to
look over proposals for the downtown art project. The committee is inviting three
artists with a fourth as back-up for interviews on December 10. The committee
might have an artist selected by the next CCAC meeting in December. Sean will ask
Valerie if the other CCAC members who didn't participate in the selection process
can view the artists' applications.
C. Facade Improvement Joint Committee. Since last month's CCAC meeting, there was
another meeting to discuss the Diamond property second story renovation and
improvements. This is the property located next to the brew pub. Mr. Diamond, his
architect and the committee met and Mr. Diamond was awarded the maximum
amount - $25,000. Phase One of the project is to refurbish the interior so it can be
leased out and Phase Two will be the finishing touches of the renovation. There are
two new applications in. The first one is from Tigard Cleaners and Kepplers
Upholstery. Although there are two different owners, because of their proximity, they
should be looked at together since they share a common wall and roofline. The other
application is from Tigard Chiropractic.
D. PRAB-CCAC Joint Committee. Commissioner Shearer acknowledged Neal Brown's
presentation to the committee and said PRAB is in favor of a local recreation district.
The PRAB discussed the impact of funding for a part-time or full-time staff person
to support it. She reported there is also a citizen initiated project in work to put
neighborhood book exchange kiosks in the city parks. There will be book exchange
shelters or cupboards of some sort. Area residents will oversee the kiosks and also
CCAC Meeting Minutes for Wednesday, November 14, 2012 Page 2 of 4
ensure the material is appropriate. Commissioner Shearer also gave the committee an
update on a bond measure that's being discussed for Summer Creek which would
allocate $700,000 to finance half-street improvements on Tigard Street.
AGENDA ITEM #5: SW Corridor Update (See Attachments 1 , 2, 3 and 4 to these
minutes)
Judith Gray gave the commission a recent article from the Portland Tribune report
(Attachment 1) and some background information on the choices Metro's steering
committee recently identified as the list of transit projects to focus on for the SW Corridor
Plan. Judith pointed out that light rail is very expensive compared to bus rapid transit and
presented handouts defining the different transit options (see Attachments 2 and 3).
Continued study will look at bringing light rail from Portland to Tigard and then the use of
bus rapid transit to reach outlying areas. Judith also distributed the Fall 2012 stakeholder
engagement calendar for the SW Corridor Plan (Attachment 4) and encouraged the members
to attend the December 3 Community Planning Forum scheduled to take place at the
Tualatin Police Department from 6 to 8 p.m. Metro also launched an interactive website
today that invites citizens to provide feedback to the study group. She will send out an email
with a link to the site. (Recorder's Note: site is at www. swcorridorplan.org )
AGENDA ITEM #6: Capital Improvement Plan Recommendations.
Sean and Toby told the members each of them has the opportunity to prioritize the capital
improvement projects list in what they deem as their order of importance. Staff takes input
from citizens, from staff on city criteria for CIPS, from PRAB for parks, and TTAC for
transportation and asks each group to look at the same CIP project list and then rank them
and provide their input. CCAC members can go through the process to rank the projects
related to downtown. Members should rank their projects without regard for funding. That
process takes place in a subsequent step once all the priority results are aggregated. Toby
and Sean will send an email to the members to set the date for when they need the ratings
turned in. Results can be reported at the next meeting. Tom Murphy said he would like to
see this project presented a month earlier next year so the committee has more time to work
on it.
AGENDA ITEM #7: CCAC Annual Report to CCDA
The committee worked together to finalize the report Chair Craghead had drafted for their
review. The CCAC agreed to approve the report with the few minor changes brought forth
at this meeting. Members thanked Chair Craghead for his work creating the report.
AGENDA ITEM #8: Connectivity Plan Update
Sean reported on the results of the Planning Commission public hearing. The plan will go
before the City Council on December 11 . He encouraged members to attend to speak in
favor of the plan.
CCAC Meeting Minutes for Wednesday, November 14, 2012 Page 3 of 4
AGENDA ITEM #9: Council Economic Development Discussion
Sean and Commissioners Shearer, Hughes and Murphy attended the Council workshop on
economic development. Sean said the meeting's purpose was generally about raising the
profile of economic development and giving it resources in the future. There was some talk
about looking at studies and reports about what had been done in other cities regarding
economic development and using the material to develop an economic strategy for Tigard
based upon existing resources. The group discussed business clusters and how Tigard might
expand them out and development in the Tigard Triangle. Council liked the idea of the
restaurants clustering on Main Street.
AGENDA ITEM #10: Executive Session
The regular meeting recessed for an executive session in accordance with ORS 192.660(2),
(e) (to discuss real property transactions) at 8:29 pm. The regular meeting reconvened at 8:45
pm.
AGENDA ITEM #11: Sean pointed out the demographic information he included in the
packet and said possibly the committee could discuss that at a later date. Elise asked why
there wasn't more 2010 census data included in the document. Sean explained that the
Census long form has been replaced by the American Community Survey which has a
different timeline.
AGENDA ITEM #12: Adjourn
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

Cities, planners narrow focus on SW Corridor transit options
Created on Monday. October 22, 2012 1 Written by Nick Christensen i
The transit element of Metro's Southwest Corridor study is coming into focus, after a steering committee of local
leaders asked for studies of several transit options.
Members of the Southwest Corridor Plan Steering Committee unanimously agreed Monday to study bus
improvements and light rail for the area, which is roughly a wedge from downtown Portland to Tigard, King City,
Tualatin and Sherwood.
Metro and the cities have worked for about a year to develop a list of transit projects that could be studied as part
of a comprehensive look at transportation, zoning and economic development in the southwest part of the city.
But answers to zoning and economic development questions in the study are dependent on what transit options
are considered for the area.
METRO NEWS
Stories Nick Christensen writes for Metro are not edited or altered by the regional agency or the Metro
Council. Christensen is a Metro employee, but provides independent reporting on the agency. Metro news is
committed to transparency,fairness and accuracy.
This month, planners from Metro gave steering committee members a list of possible transit projects to study and
others to consider later. Several bus rapid transit options were suggested for further study; planners suggested
dropping off ideas like streetcar or running transit on lanes of Interstate 5.
Staffers recommended that some other options, like building a light-rail line to Sherwood, be put on the shelf.
Planners left it to the steering committee to decide whether to study light rail to Tigard or Tualatin, or whether to
also put that on the back burner.
Portland's steering committee representative, planner Joe Zehnder, asked that light rail be part of the study. He
said including light rail in a study with bus rapid transit would help local community members and businesses
understand the difference between the two options.
And, he said, it would offer a cost comparison between bus rapid transit and light rail in areas where rights of way
would have to be purchased.
Tualatin Mayor Lou Ogden said a study of light rail would help the discussion about transit in the area.
"I've got people in Tualatin who've told me, `No way, light rail in Tualatin,' and I respect their opinion," Ogden
said. "I don't know if it's a good idea or a bad idea. I think it's important to not throw out any idea as a bad idea or
to herald any ideas as good ideas" until a study is done.
Bus rapid transit ideas
The committee decided to study bus rapid transit from Portland to Tualatin and Sherwood, and light rail to Tigard
and Tualatin. It also said local bus improvements should be considered immediately.
The bus rapid transit option sparked some intrigue at the table, in part because of its flexibility in the corridor, and
in part because it's a relatively new concept in the Portland region.
Bus rapid transit systems can operate in existing lanes or in their own lanes or roads, and can have other upgrades
from regular buses. The goal would be to have a rapid transit line that runs on rubber wheels instead of rails, but
still acts like a train, in a sense, making stops at stations along the way and moving even when other vehicle traffic
is jammed.
Such lines are generally much cheaper than light rail. A bus rapid transit line that launched this year in Las Vegas
cost $3.75 million per mile. The first four miles of Eugene's Emerald Express bus line cost $6.25 million a mile.
Factoring out the costs of the new bridge, the Milwaukee MAX line is forecast to cost more than $18o million per
mile.
TriMet planner Alan Lehto described an idea where a bus rapid transit system could run from Portland to Tigard,
then have "a starburst of connections" out to other parts of the area, like Sherwood, Tualatin and Washington
Square.
But Washington County Commissioner Roy Rogers questioned whether TriMet could afford to run such a system.

"We really like TriMet but we have limited funds," Rogers said. `Everyone's trying to figure out solutions. What I
see is a very expensive system being proposed here, and at some point we're going to have to say, how do we make
it work?"
Planners will start studying the costs and impacts of a possible transit system in the area. The study won't single
out any transit line as a preferred option, but will look at how much various transit projects would cost, how they
would affect the communities of the area and how many people are likely to use them.
The study, which could be complete by next summer, would also look at how any potential transit project would
impact the economy of the region, and how the transit options would affect growth plans in the southwest region's
cities.

Local and hinh capacity transit
Transit modes
Local bus
Local bus service focuses on community access, with stops about every 2 blocks to a
quarter mile. This service typically uses traditional buses (about 45 seats) but may also use
articulated buses (about 65 seats). Local bus service shares roadway and ranges in frequency
depending on the route and time of day.
Express bus
Express buses in the region are local bus service, using the same vehicles and following
the same routes. Express bus service moves the focus toward regional mobility by reducing
the number of stops during peak periods between concentrated housing and employment
areas.
Enhanced bus
Enhanced bus service focuses on regional mobility, connecting concentrated housing and
employment areas. The service may use traditional buses or those with more amenities (for
instance, coach-style vehicles) or more capacity, be given signal priority, have few stops, and/
or have special lanes in limited areas. Service frequency can be increased during peak hours.
Streetcar
Streetcar focuses on community access within an urban area, with stops about every three
or four blocks. Local streetcar service has been used in Portland to encourage development
of shopping, housing and other destination areas, Streetcars have 30 seats per car with
room and design for several passengers to stand. Cars can be doubled, and service
frequency increased, during peak hours. The service operates in mixed traffic.
Rapid streetcar
Using the same technology as local streetcar, rapid streetcar focuses on regional mobility,
offering fewer stops through less populated areas to connect housing areas to jobs or other
destinations. Cars can be doubled, and service frequency increased, during peak hours. The
service operates in mixed traffic, in exclusive right of way or a combination of the two.
Bus rapid transit
Bus rapid transit uses coach-style or high capacity buses (40-60 seats with room and design
for several passengers to stand). The service may be in the roadway with turnouts and signal
priority for stops, have an exclusive right of way, or be some combination of the two. The
service focuses on regional mobility, with higher speeds, fewer stops, higher frequency and
more substantial stations than local bus, connecting concentrated housing or local bus hubs
and employment areas. Service frequency can be increased during peak hours.
Light rail
Light rail uses high capacity trains (68 seats with room and design for several passengers
to stand) and focuses on regional mobility with stops typically one-half to 1 mile apart,
connecting concentrated housing or local bus hubs and employment areas. The service has
its own right of way. Cars can be doubled, and service frequency increased, during peak
hours.
Commuter rail
Commuter rail uses high capacity heavy rail trains (74 seats in a single car, 154 in
doubled cars), typically sharing right of way with freight or other train service (though
out of roadway). The service focuses on connecting major housing or local bus hubs and
employment areas with few stops and higher speeds. The service may have limited or no
non-peak service.

GREAT PLACES
orn or - What is bus rapid transit?
1 rapid transit service uses high capacity buses in their own guideway or mixed in with traffic, with limited
stops and a range of transit priority treatments to provide speed, frequency and comfort to users. Most stations
have significant and easily identifiable passenger infrastructure, including waiting areas that are weather
protected. Additional station amenities may include real-time schedule information, trip planning kiosks, ricket
machines, special lighting, benches and bicycle parking.

Vehicles
Bus rapid transit vehicles often have a larger passenger capacity than conventional buses and utilize modern
designs and special branding to differentiate bus rapid transit from standard local bus service. They often
have level-platform boarding and multiple doors to make entering and exiting the vehicles easier and faster.
Many bus rapid transit systems use vehicles with alternative fuels and pollutant emissions controls.

Stops and stations
Bus rapid transit stations are generally spaced
further apart than standard service stops in order to
improve travel time for riders. Stations are typically
designed similarly to light rail stations, with
features that enhance the passenger experience.
These may include enhanced shelters, improved _
accessibility, improved security elements, and -' -
real-time arrival information. Stations contribute
to the branding of bus rapid transit systems that
distinguish them from standard bus service.

Bus rapid transit in other cities
Boston, Mass.
The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority's (MBTA) Silver Line in Boston
is an example of bus rapid transit in an urban corridor. The Silver Line
operates using dedicated transit lines as well as in mixed traffic. In addition,
the Silver Line has a 1 .5 mile underground segment which includes three
underground stations.
Eugene, Ore.
The Eugene Emerald Express (EmX) operates using both separate running
ways and in dedicated lanes alongside mixed traffic. The separate running
ways account for about 60 percent of the route and consist of exclusive
single and dual bus lanes. The remaining 40 percent of the route is dedicated
bus lanes, which are at a grade and separated from general traffic by yellow
bus lane marking. When operating alongside traffic, the EmX utilizes traffic
signal prioritization and queue jump lanes.
Cleveland, Ohio
The HealthLine operates in Cleveland in dedicated bus lanes and uses traffic
signal prioritization. In downtown Cleveland, buses run along exclusive
p lanes in the center of the street.
Las Vegas, Nev.
The Metro Area Express (MAX) in Las Vegas has 4.5 miles of dedicated
lanes (out of a total route of 7.5 miles). These dedicated lanes are aligned at
fi the curb and shared with right turning traffic. The Strip Downtown Express
(SDX) includes the same elements as the MAX plus a central median and
dedicated right of way for 2.25 miles.
Los Angeles, Calif.
The Orange Line operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit
Authority (Metro) is a two lane, fourteen mile dedicated busway. The
Orange Line operates using signal prioritization, dedicated bus lanes and
uses an existing railroad right of way.
Kansas City, Mo.
The Metro Area Express (MAX) runs on a 6-mile linear route in Kansas
City. The MAX operates using bus only curb lanes during peak hours and
full time bus only lanes in downtown Kansas City. The MAX is also given
signal priority during peak hours.
