Meeting was called to order at 7:07 PM. 2. ROLL CALL Present: Clark, Deuth, Gervais, Cook, Holland, Reilly and Schweitz. Also Present: City Staff: Ed Murphy, Community Development Director, Randy Wooley, City Engineer, Carol Landsman, Senior Planner, Ellen Fox, Task Force Secretary. ODOT: Ted Keasey and Bill Ciz 3. INTRODUCTIONS Clark welcomed everyone and asked the members of the audience to introduce themselves. 4. PROPOSED INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS • City Engineer Randy Wooley referred to the staff report which was in the meeting packets. He discussed the policy implications and financial considerations and how these influenced staff's recommendations. He advised that staff was recommending that the Task Force recommend to City Council the following two projects be done: 1. Add additional turning lanes on Hall Boulevard, and 2. Install median barrier on 99W, without restriping or widening 99W. City Engineer pointed out that the improvements to Hall would improve the capacity of the intersection, but he said widening east side of Hall north of 99W did not seem cost effective. He noted that improvements to this intersection would tie in with improvements done in the future. He estimated the total cost would be approximately $700,000. Regarding the median barrier, he advised this improvement would address safety concerns and improve capacity. There was discussion regarding widening Hall Boulevard, which side to widen, and alignment of hall on both sides of 99W. 99W TASK FORCE MEETING MINUTES - JULY 16, 1992 PAGE 1 Ted Keasey from Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) discussed the economics of the various plans. • City Engineer clarified staff's concerns about constructing an alternative access into Park 217 from the southbound on-ramp to Hwy. 217. He added there did not seem to be a real need for this, as the U-turns would off-set left turn limitations brought about by the median barrier on 99W. Discussion followed regarding the use of directional signs to help direct customers to Park 217. • Ernie Munch spoke on behalf of Park 217 businesses stating they would fund a substantial portion of the improvement if the proposed alternative access were built. He advised they would be willing to fund at least 51 percent of the project, and that they may request to fund construction through a Local Improvement District (LID) . Discussion followed concerning the length of time it would take for preliminary plans and final engineering plans. • Jim Nicoli spoke in favor of improving Warner and having it tie to Hall, and creating the new access to Park 217. He pointed out it is important to ensure that Park 217 remains a healthy and thriving area. • Ann Sylvester, Project Manager with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. , spoke in favor of the alternative access to Park 217. She discussed Wayne Kittleson's proposed alternative design for the intersection of Highway 99 and -Garden Place, pointing out aspects which she said were unfavorable. • Steve Roos of Russ Chevrolet expressed his opposition to the - widening of Hall Boulevard on the east side. Discussion followed regarding last meeting's comments about widening Hall. There was further discussion concerning the flow of traffic and level of service, with Ted Keasey advising that ODOT was planning to look at the possibility of timing the signals to help improve the flow. He said this would bring the level of service from an "E" level up to a "D" level. • Bill Ciz of ODOT talked about interchange policies and Access Oregon Highways policies. He said the policies are still in draft stages and will be formalized statewide. He answered questions about signs on Hwy. 217 and 99W. • Walt Mulby, Chief Operations Officer of Smith's Home Furnishings, advised the Committee that location was the most important factor, along with good access, in 99W TASK FORCE MEETING MINUTES - JULY 16, 1992 PAGE 2 .L selecting a business site and maintaining a thriving business. He encouraged the Committee to give consideration to the proposed alternative access to Park 217. Schweitz moved and Cook seconded to eliminate the additional turn lanes on the north and south sides of Hall Boulevard from the project. Discussion followed regarding the traffic congestion at Hall and 99W and the benefit and impact of the turn lanes. Motion failed with 2 voting in favor and 5 opposed. Deuth moved and Cook seconded to (1) construct additional turn lanes on Hall Blvd. , both to the north and south of 99W, with the widening south of 99W occurring on the west side, rather than the east side of Hall Blvd. , and (2) install barrier on 99W without restriping or widening 99W, and in addition, include the alternative access road to Park 217 as proposed by Ernie Munch. Motion passed by unanimous vote of Committee members present: 7 to 0 in favor. • There was discussion -concerning the next city council meeting on August 11, 1992. Clark encouraged all interested people to attend, and he requested Ernie Munch and ODOT representative to provide as much information as possible. 5. SUBAREA ANALYSIS City Engineer spoke about the need for a larger area analysis to study how the adjoining roads related to 991,W. He explained a proposal to initiate a study to define the area and to involve Metro and ODOT in the process. He provided maps of the proposed study area. Holland suggested that Bull Mountain Road and Scholls Ferry Road be included in proposed sub-study. City Engineer clarified they were trying to define the roads connecting 99W and I-5. • Reilly moved and Schweitz seconded to recommend to City council that this study be done. Motion passed by unanimous vote of Committee members present: 7-0 in favor.

Delete 2nd paragraph on page 3 beginning with "Deuth moved. . . " . Replace paragraph with following: Deuth moved and Cook seconded to accept the staff recommendation as presented in the staff report dated July: ?A1/J92 C. Recommendations - It is recommended that the 99W Task Force recommend to the City Council the following: 1. Add additional turning lanes on Hall Blvd., on both the north and south approaches to 99W. As an alternative to widening Hall south of 99W only on the east side (adjoining Russ Chevrolet) , request that ODOT seriously consider some widening on both sides, or widening only on the west side (adjoining Nine-T-Nine Towing Service Station) . 2 . Eventually, install a barrier on 99W, without restriping or widening 99W. However, do not install this barrier until better signage for Park 217 is installed, and alternative access to Warner from Hall Blvd. is constructed. When the barrier is installed, allow U-Turns for southbound 99W traffic at Hall Blvd. With the following modifications: 1. That ODOT widen Hall south of 99W on the west side, rather than the east side, and 2. That an alternative access road into Park 217 as proposed by Ernie Munch be constructed prior to a barrier being installed on 99W. COUNCIL T"ENDA ITEM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY AGENDA OF: Auctust 11, 1992 DATE SUBMITTED: July 24, 1992 ISSUE/AGENDA Til I LE: 99W Improvements PREVIOUS ACTION: None im PREPARED BY: Ed Murphy DEPT HEAD O CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY: ,ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL What improvements to 99W and Hall Boulevard should the City Council recommend to the Oregon Department of Transportation? STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council follow the recommendation of the 99W Task Force, which was to widen Hall Boulevard on both approaches to 99W, and to install a barrier on 99W restricting left turns, concurrent with improved access to Warner from Hall and to Park 217 from the freeway on-ramp. INFORMATION SUMMARY The 99W Task Force was formed by the City Council on May 7, 1991. One of their objectives was to review alternative methods of improving the capacity and safety of 99W, particularly between Highway 217 and Greenburg. After several meetings to review and discuss technical information, and after hearing from the surrounding property owners and merchants, the Task Force made its recommendation at its July 16, 1992 meeting. Attached is a staff report, along with minutes from the last 99W Task Force meeting, and relevant documents submitted by interested parties. (All the background information is available should Council members wish to review it) . The staff recommendation to the Task Force was a little different than what the Task Fbree--is recommending to the City Council, as staff recommended against the new access road into Park 217 off the freeway southbound on-ramp, and also the Task Force was clear that they preferred any widening of Hall at the south side of 99W be on the west side (Nine-T-Nine Towing side) instead of the east side (Russ Chevrolet side) . PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES Recommend to ODOT that they: 1. Construct no improvements at all to 99W, or at least not until a longer range plan for 99W is undertaken and completed. 2. Construct all of the improvements suggested by the Task Force except for the new access road into Park 217. 3 . Construct all the improvements recommended by the Task Force, including a new access road into Park 217. 4. Construct more extensive improvements to 99W, including widening 99W and addi-ng bikelanes and sidewalks. y <5_ -;�" tf FISCAL NOTES The entire project is projected to cost about $700,000. No funding has been identified, but it is expected that much of the needed funds would eventually come from the Highway Division. The new access road into Park 217 is expected to be substantially financed by the owners of those properties. Use of City funds is not anticipated for this projects, but is a possibility. em/99W.cc 1 Kw ACJ IIM P O fit, t . 6) k, - eA CA z T?stf fog rN 1 (,C-xcjv4 raw sf ( - `Pau�- Asp . � d,,,_� CA4 rf k MA P FS + bNs �"Ik/ ptd ' &A u4 " CA A% �.

Also Present: City Staff: Community Development Director Ed Murphy, City Engineer Randy Wooley, Task Force Secretary Ellen Fox. ODOT: Ted Keasey 3. INTRODUCTIONS Clark welcomed everyone and asked the members of the audience to introduce themselves. 4. PRESENTATION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT o City Engineer Randy Wooley provided an overview of the current status of 99W including daily traffic volumes and accident rates. He talked about the short-term and long-term planning and funding. Regarding the proposed projects under consideration, he advised that any of the projects could be chosen or rejected. He explained there were two major types of improvements: 1 ) projects aimed at improving safety; and 2) projects to improve capacity. He noted that there was sometimes an overlap, as some projects tended to influence both types of improvement. City Engineer described the projects and their benefits. These projects included: a median barrier curb on 99W from Hwy 217 ramps to Hall Boulevard; Warner Avenue cul de sac; restriping on 99W which would result in 6 lanes total ; and added turn lanes at Hall and 99W. He provided cost information for each of the projects. o Ernie Munch, representing Speaker Partnership, stated he is a transportation planner hired by Park 217. He handed out copies of a report describing Park 217 with details of the size, occupancy rate, and tenants. He noted that there are 681 people employed there currently. Mr. Munch explained why a raised median would be disasterous for the businesses at Park 217. The main concern was that access would be limited. He described a frontage road project proposed to connect Garden Place with the ramp to Highway 217. He showed aerial photographs of the site. He provided details about peak hour analysis and accident rates for this type of a connection, including comparisons with statistics from other similar frontage roads. 99W TASK FORCE MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 25, 1992 PAGE 1 to o Ted Keasey of Oregon*„rpartment of Transportation (ODy,� talked about the funding for projects and the acquisition of property. He noted that the 6-year plan has been completed for this area, and he said there is no funding identified for the proposed projects. He said it was possible that some shifting of approved projects may occur which would make it possible within 2 or 3 years to work on these projects if funding can be found. He explained the process for acquisition of property; and he provided brochures on relocation of properties and acquisition procedures. He discussed the proposed frontage road at Park 217 and explained ODOT's viewpoint regarding protecting integrity of the freeways. o Mayor Jerry Edwards commented on the letter the City sent to Metro and the lack of funding available. Discussion followed regarding Metro projects and the tight competition for funding. 5. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC o Clark clarified the purpose for the Task Force and he asked for comments from the public. a Gary Barrett, 11959 SW Garden Place, Tigard, asked for details about signage. He expressed concern that access to Park 217 would be limited. Community Development Director Ed Murphy answered questions regarding state and City requirements and mentioned the variance process. o Don Watkins of Smith's Home Furnishings asked Ted Keasey about the proposed widening of 99W. Mr. Keasey discussed this plan which is being studied for the whole corridor; however, he said there are no plans on the table at this time. o Steve Roos of Russ Chevrolet expressed concern about losing square footage from their main display area. There was discussion regarding the amount of space lost with various improvements. RECESS - 8:00 PM RECONVENE - 8:10 PM o Jim Nicoli , PO Box 23784, Tigard, expressed concern that the proposed improvements would result in a bottleneck at Greenburg Road. City Engineer explained that capacity would be improved at Greenburg Road. o There was discussion as to whether Warner Street should be allowed access to 99W. Discussion followed regarding the options. o John McQuillan, III , 11520 SW Fairview, Tigard, said he was uncertain if there was any bike traffic to consider; and City Engineer advised that Regional State Planning required that bike and pedestrian standards be met. 99W TASK FORCE MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 25, 1992 PAGE 2 o Hal Fitzke, 12" SW Garden Place, was also conned about maintaining sufficient acc ' into Park 217. o Clark read a letter received from Mike Stevenson of B and B Litho expressing concern about lack of planning in which he requested that the City take a leadership role with regards to transportation. He noted there needed to be access from Murray Road to 99W. o Larry Bissett advised that the Tigard Chamber of Commerce resolution supports an area analysis or study to look at alternatives to widening 99W, looking at other routes to improve traffic. He requested that the Task Force support that type of study. o There was further discussion of traffic volumes; and John McQuillan suggested that the proposed frontage road connection at Park 217 would improve safety along 99W. Discussion followed concerning the percentages of through traffic and the purpose for putting in a median. Ed Munch verified that their traffic study indicated the proposed frontage road would eliminate accidents. o Joe Schweitz, 11020 SW Cottonwood, Tigard, pointed out that improved traffic flow is important as it will encourage people to come to Tigard. o Wendy Hawley, 14790 SW 79th, Tigard, asked if it was possible for the Committee to put together a plan to forward to Metro to get funding. Ted Keasey explained that the 6-year plan is updated every 2 years. City Engineer said the new plan process will begin 6 months from now: and if there is a plan, this will put Tigard in a better position among the competition for funding. o There was further discussion concerning each of the proposed projects with the businesses in Park 217 opposed to having a median if there is not an alternative access connection to Park 217. o Craig Hopkins, 7430 SW Varus, Tigard, favored having legal U-turn points along 99W to add a little flexibility. Ron Holland agreed with this. Discussion followed regarding a Hunziker connection. o Regarding the 20 feet to be added to Hall Boulevard for right turn lane and bike path, Don Watkins and Steve Roos were opposed to this project. Todd Mains with Flowers by Donna agreed with this. o There was discussion concerning traffic cutting through Warner to Hall from 99W. There was strong support for the Warner project. 6. SUMMARY AND WRAP UP o In summarizing the comments and concerns, Clark noted that there was support for the median if an alternative access could be built to Park 217. He said there was no support for the Hall northbound right turn lane. He advised there was strong support for the Warner project. 99W TASK FORCE MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 25, 1992 PAGE 3 o Neil Handyside, Ch2A,,,,,i1 , discussed the Kittleson prsal for the Darmouth extension. He provided information about cost and compared different options and the cost for each. He handed out information about this proposal .

Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 Safeway Store #383 Tigard, Oregon Dear 99W Task Force: We are writing to express our concerns with the proposed improvements at the Pacific Highway — Hall Boulevard intersection. Is is our understanding that the proposal involves the acquisition of about twenty feet for right—of—way on the west side of Hall Boulevard in order to provide a separate lane for right hand turns onto Pacific Highway. As an anchor tenant in Tigard Plaza, Safeway is concerned about the loss of a significant number of parking spaces and about the disposition of the southern access from Hall Boulevard into the shopping center. Adequate parking and access are both essential for the viable operation of the Safeway store, which has served the Tigard community for over fifteen years. We consider losses in parking and access as causing a negative impact on our business. We appreciate having the opportunity for input and urge you to consider Safeway' s concerns in your recommendation to the city council . Very truly yours, SAFEWAY TNC.

During the July loth Task Force meeting,Spieker/Smitlfs reported that they would be willing to fund a substantial amount of the construction costs;something above 50%, depending on the final cost of f vposed project and its benefit to Highway 99W Additionally,Spiekw/SmitWs 1 design the facility,at their sole expense,on the following conditions: 1)City and ODOT staffs will participate in a good faith effort to design a workable solution,and 2)that City and ODOT staffs first defifie their specific concerns so that they can be addressed by the desxg=s. Trough their unanimous action on July 16th,the Task Foxe recommended to City Council that the proposed access be included in a 99W project,and requested that the City and ODOT staffs and Spiteke�r/S3mith's pursue the design on the above basis,reporting back to City Council on August 11th. SP1e1Wr/Sim1an7s will begin preliminary design with available information and the concerns expressed in the staff report by City of Tigard staff dated July 9, 1992. We request that the City and State list any additional specific concerns and compile necessary data as soon as possible.

Munch 111 SW Oak Street Portland, OR 97204 Subject : Response to Issues Raised by City of Tigard and Wayne Kittelson Concerning Proposed Access to Park 217 from Highway 99W Dear Ernie : Per your request , I have reviewed a letter dated July 3, 1992 from Wayne Kittelson to the City of Tigard and a letter from Ed Murphy of the City to the 99W Task Force dated July 9, 1992. In these letters , several issues were raised regarding the proposed access to Park 217 from the intersection of Highway 99 with the southbound SR 217 ramps. This letter contains my response to these issues. 1. In his July 3rd letter , Mr_ Kittelson indicated that if the gore point for this frontage road/freeway ramp Were located at the intersection with Highway 99, driver confusion Will likely result and effective signing will be difficult. We agree with this assessment and note that the gore point is actually proposed to be located approximately 250 feet south of the intersection. At this distance, a motorist traveling at 30 MPH will have between 5.5 and 6 seconds of response time between the intersection and •hi-s decision point. This more than adequately provides for the 4 to 5 seconds recom- mended by Mr. Kittelson. In fact, is less than 250 feet could be provided and still allow for adequate decision- making time_ Thus, the location of this gore should not adversely impact traffic operations at the intersection of Highway 99 with the new frontage road . 2. Mr. Kittelson' s letter indicated that if the gore point at the ramp Was sufficiently separated from Highway 99 to provide for adequate decision-making time , the ramp would be sufficiently shortened to interfere with any future ramp metering operations. ODOT staff have indicated that they currently have no firm guidelines regarding the placement of ramp meters in relation to the freeway mainline or to the street which feeds the ramp. However, most meters in the Portland Metropolitan area are currently located 200 to 400 feet from the physical gore point of the freeway tamp ( i.e. , the point at which the centerline of the ramp is 16 feet Charlotte.Dapas•Fort Lauderdale derdale.Fort NFj ers•Houston•las Vagas•OrWW.otirdo.ip%earra Pordand-Raleigh.San Diego.Sarasota.Stuart•Tampa-Vero Seed •V%VAM tlfaadt.We"►alst gggch Building client relationships since i9eir JUL-16-1992 15:48 FROM ERNEST MUNCH ARCHITECT TO 6847297 P.03 Mr_ Ernest Munch July 15, 1992 Page two from the outermost travel lane) . From this physical gore point , approximately 1,050 feet ( including taper) is re- quired for an acceleration lane. On the upstream side of the meter , sufficient space must be provided to accommodate the queue of vehicles waiting at the meter_ ODOT staff have indicated that all ramp meters in the Portland area are on a fixed cycle length which may be adjusted to fit most situations and to keep vehicular queu- ing to a minimum. ODOT staff currently recommends that a minimum storage distance of approximately 250 feet be pro- vided for ramp meters. Based on the foregoing criteria, it is estimated that a total of approximately 1, 500 feet of ramp ( including taper) will be required for installation of a ramp metering system. The requirement breaks down as follows : - Vehicular storage = 250 feet - Distance between meter and physical gore point = 200 feet - Acceleration lane ( physical gore point to end of taper) = 1 ,050 feet Total . = 1, 500 feet The distance which would be available with the proposed frontage road and relocated ramp entrance is approximately 1, 500 feet , which would adequate meet ODOT's minimum ramp meter design criteria . 3. Mr . Kittel son also indicated that construction of the pro- pooed ccGcaa Vve073 wIllult►aLe ttte pOtenrial Lor any future collector-distributor ( C-D) roadway system along SR 217. This project is not currently in the Regional Trans- portation rans- portotion Plan , the Regional Transportation Improvement Program or ODOT' s 6-year Highway Improvement Program. It is our under the 6-Year Highway Improvement Program_ It is my understanding that the project is conceptual and that ODOT has a number of concerns with it. To date, I have seen only one drawing which presents the improvements proposed in the vicinity of the SR 217/I-5 interchange, including the C-D road system_ This drawing was prepared at 1:400 scale end the area where Mr _ Kittelson indicates there may be a poten- tial conflict between the proposed frontage road/ramp and the C-D road is very small . It is extremely difficult to determine if there is, in fact , an actual conflict. If there is a conflict, it appears to be likely that it will JUL-16-1992 15=49 FROM ERNEST MUNCH ARCHITECT TO 6847297 P.04 Mr- . Ernest Munch July 15, 1992 Page three not be major and that there may be options whereby both facilities can be constructed_ Whatever the nature of the improvements to SR 217 which are Ultimately made, potential conflicts can be minimized by shifting the frontage road further west and eliminating some Of the existing parking. 4. At the end of his letter, Mr. Kittelson proposed an alterna- tive design for the intersection of Highway 99 with Garden Place which would provide westbound left turn access from Highway 99 into Park 217, but Would restrict all other left-turning movements. Mr. Kittelson indicates that this configuration would result in an 80 percent reduction in the accident rate at the existing Highway 99/Garden Place inter- section. Accident data provided by ODOT indicates that there were 43 reported accidents at this intersection be- tween January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1991_ Of these, only 15 could have been prevented by Mr. Kittelson' s design. This represents a reduction of 35 percent and not 80 per- cent. Additionally, the concept proposed by Mr. Kittelson may create conflicts between motorists making legitimate westbound left turns and those who wish to make eastbound left turns and find that they cannot only after they have entered the turning lane _ 5_ In his letter to the 99W Task Force, Ed Murphy makes a number of comments concerning -the proposed frontage road, most of which I have addressed in the preceding paragraphs. One additional comment concerned the increase in congestion which would be experienced at the Highway 99 intersection with the southbound ramps if the frontage road were con- structed . As indicated in my letter to you dated May 5, 1992, average delay per vehicle at this intersection would increase from 15. 5 seconds to 18. 1 seconds, or a total of 2.6 seconds. As the intersection is currently operating at a very high level of service "C" , this increase is not significant and would hardly be noticed by motorists_ I hope that the information presented in this letter is suffi- cient to meet your needs at this time. If you have any questions or require further analysis please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC_ Anne Sylvester, p_ $. Project Manager a� Q JUL 71992 CITY OF, TIGARD July 3, 1992 Mr. Randall R. Wooley City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Boulevard P.O. Box 23397 Tigard, Oregon 97223 SUBJECT: Access Control Options for Pacific Highway (Hall Boulevard to Highway 217) Dear Randy: I read with interest about the Highway 99 Task Force's recent request for public input regarding access control options for Pacific Highway between Hall Boulevard and Highway 217. Unfortunately, I was unable to be present for the public meeting on this issue. I will also be out of town on July 16 when the Task Force meets again. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to express my concerns about one of the options currently being considered by the Task Force_ I would also like to suggest an alternative that may merit further consideration by the Task Force. Comments on the Proposal for Direct Signalized Access to Park 217 I do not support the option to provide a new access road to the Park 217 -complex via the existing signalized intersection of Pacific Highway with the southbound Highway 217 ramps for the following reasons: • If the gore point for the new roadway into the Park 217 complex is located at the intersection with Pacific Highway, then driver confusion is likely to result. Effective signing will be very difficult, and is an important issue that has not yet been addressed. There are two major effects associated with this driver confusion: 1) Drivers will be slower to make their decision, reducing the capacity of the intersection and increasing delay to through traffic on Pacific Highway. �Y i r ' Mr. Randall R. Wooley July 3, 1992 Page Two 2) There is potential for serious safety problems, because drivers making a wrong decision have no easy way to recover from their mistake. In such situations, drivers have been observed doing extraordinary and sometimes dangerous things, including sudden maneuvers and stops, backing up, and/or making a U-turn on the freeway on-ramp in order to recover from their mistake. • If the gore point for the new roadway into the Park 217 - complex is sufficiently separated from the Pacific Hiahway/Highway 217 intersection to allow adequate decision time for the drivers (typically at least 4-5 seconds) , then it is likely to interfere with any ramp metering operations that may someday be implemented by ODOT. • If constructed, the new access road could eliminate the potential for any future collector-distributor road system on Highway 217. The size of the potential impact associated with losing this possibility, on both a city-wide and regional basis, is enormous. Concurrent with the writing of this letter, I spoke with Ernie Munch in order to apprise him of my concerns, and to suggest an alternative that I think would also meet Park 217' s access needs, but without the attendant operational or safety problems. He disagrees with my assessment of his proposal for signalized access to the Park 217 complex. Specifically, he cited what he believes to be adequate historic data from around the metropolitan area indicating that, if implemented, this option would operate safely and efficiently. I respectfully disagree with Mr. Munch and his consultant team' s assessment of his proposal. I would like to encourage you, the Highway 99 Task Force, and ODOT staff to thoroughly examine the supporting data before considering adoption of this proposal. I have not had the opportunity to review Mr. Munch' s data in detail, but from the information he provided to me over the phone I believe the locations used are not at all comparable to the Pacific Highway/Highway 217 interchange with respect to safety, operating characteristics, or functional importance. Alternative Access Strategies I believe there is a very simple, cost-effective, and flexible solution to Park 217' s access needs which also addresses the i *awl, T Mr. Randall R_ Wooley July 3, 1992 Page Three inherent safety and operational concerns regarding the existing Garden Place/Pacific Highway intersection. It involves the use of channelization as shown schematically in Figure 1 to allow inbound left-turn movements, inbound right-turn movements, and outbound right turn movements. It is simple and inexpensive to install, and requires virtually no additional right-of-way. Further, it is very effective in eliminating the undesirable and unsafe outbound left turn movement. Finally, it is also very effective in preventing the right-turn only lane into Garden Place from becoming an auxiliary through lane to Highway 217. From information provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation, it appears that this proposal will reduce the intersection accident rate to less than one-fifth of its current level (from 0 .70 accidents per million entering vehicles to less than 0.17 accidents per million entering vehicles) . Furthermore, by allowing inbound left turns to occur at mid-block instead of at Hall Boulevard (which is already capacity-deficient) , peak period capacity at the Pacific Highway/Hall Boulevard intersection can be recovered for other uses. I certainly understand the desire of the Park 217 complex owners and their representatives to have a direct_ signalized access into the facility. And if such signalization can be provided safely, efficiently, and with positive beneficial ;effects to through traffic, then I would also support this concept. Unfortunately, I do not believe all these conditions can be met through the current Park 217 proposal. Therefore, I hope the owners, their representatives, and Highway Task Force members will look to_ alternatives such as the one I have suggested as a means for meeting the needs of all concerned parties. Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me if you believe there is any further assistance I might be able to provide. Sincerely, Wayne .

Keasey 0034-1896 Project Team Manager SUBJECT: Pfaffle St. - Commercial St. Section Pacific Hwy. West (99W) ODOT'S POSITION ON IMPROVEMEN'T'S TO HWY. 99W THROUGH TIGARD PROJECT HISTORY_ In the 1980's, there were two projects identified to help relieve the traffic congestion on Hwy. 99W in Tigard. These projects were to improve the intersections at Hall Blvd. and at the Hwy. 217 ramp terminals. However, it soon became clear that minor improvements at these locations would not significantly improve the capacity of Hwy. 99W. In order to increase the capacity of Hwy. 99W, some major improvements are needed (i.e., additional lanes). A traffic study was done to determine what improvements are necessary to increase the capacity and improve the safety of Hwy. 99W from I-5 to Greenburg Road. This traffic study was based on projected increases in traffic volumes over the next twenty years using data and transportation modeling from the Metropoli- tan Service District (MSD). The recommendations of this study were to provide three-lanes in each direction on Hwy. 99W, with left turns only at signalized intersections, and right-turn lanes at select locations. Because of funding constraints, the strategy was to split the section from I-5 to Greenburg Road into two smaller units for development and construction. The first project was the Pfaffle Street-Commercial Street section of Hwy. 99W. It was targeted for development of final plans by 1993 in the 1991-1996 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program. This section of highway was selected first because it is the area of greatest need for safety and capacity improvements. This project was also a high priority in MSD's prioritization package for the 1993-1998 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan update. The primary impacts of this project are a significant amount of right-of-way acquisitions and business relocations necessary to provide the additional lanes needed_ There are also impacts to business as a result of access restrictions (i.e., -125-1767 restricted left-tum access on Hwy. 99W and eliminating some driveways where alternate access is available). These impacts are not necessarily seen by local residents, businesses, or the City as acceptable trade-offs for improved traffic flow on Highway 99W. RELATED ISSUES During the development of this project, a number of questions were raised about whether or not the proposed improvements were really necessary considering the substantial impacts to the Tigard business community. The main issues raised which could have an effect on this project are as follows: The Western Bypass Study -The outcome-of this study will have a bearing on traffic volumes used on Hwy. 99W. The current proposal for widening Hwy. 99W assumes the Western Bypass will be built. If the Western Bypass is not built, then traffic demands on Hwy. 99W will be even greater. This additional burden would need to be taken into account in the design. The Westem Bypass Study will be completed in 18 to 24 months. Access Oregon Highways (AOH) Funding and Standards - H the sectiod of the proposed Western Bypass from I-5 to Highway 99W is constructed, ODOT will consider designating this new road .as an Access Oregon Highway and may remove that designation from Highway 99W. This would allow more flexibility from a design standpoint for improvements to Highway 99W through Tigard. The Highway 217 MACS Study -A Metropolitan Area Corridor Strategy (MACS) study is underway for Hwy. 217. The MACS Program is to promote regional/urban mobility in coordination with statewide mobility in the AOH program. The results of this Hwy. 217 MACS study could effect how Hwy. 99W should be treated, especially in the vicinity of Hwy. 217. Light Rail Transit Provisions-Light Rail Transit(LRT)on the Hwy. 99W has not been included as-part of the improvements to the highway. LRT is considered beyond the scope of the highway project because it would be developed well after the design life of the highway project (20 years). However, this issue may be revisited as long range plans are made for LRT in this area. Any provisions for LRT on the Hwy. 99W corridor will have significant right-of-way impacts. Local Traffic Circulation-A number of Tigard citizens have expressed the need for additional arterial streets in Tigard to help local traffic circulation. Highway 99W is the primary east-west corridor through Tigard, and the 2 construction of parallel arterials could help take some of the local traffic off the highway. This kind of improvement to the Tigard transportation system is a local issue and should be handled by the City of Tigard. ODOT will not consider these alternative proposals until they are incorporated into the City's land use plan. If a better Iocal circulation system is developed, then the effects of these improvements can be taken into account on what needs to be done to Highway 99W. Metro Sub-Area Study - As some of these other issues are resolved, a transportation model for the Tigard area may be beneficial to identify and prioritize the transportation needs. This kind of "sub-area" study would need to be done by MSD. FLl'TURE DIRECTION The City has indicated an interest in looking at the Highway 99W corridor through Tigard to identify overall rather than spot improvement requirements. _ ODOT supports this approach and will consider an interim assessment to resolve immediate safety problems while assisting the City in a longer-term corridor analysis. MOT will continue to work with the City of Tigard in planning improvements to Hwy. 99W. We will also be available to offer planning assistance to the city in their development of arterial streets to help local traffic circulation and relieve some of the pressure on Hwy. 99W. ODOT supports the City's efforts to establish a task force to look at local circulation issues, evaluate other proposals being brought forward, and to assist ODOT in its studies. As for improving the current traffic situation, ODOT will identify smaller safety improvement projects which could be done in the near future with minimal effects on the environment and right-of-way. FLTK080813.E 3 0 Please review and return comments to me by next monday. I am trying to talk to Michael Wert and to Steve Clark on the phone regarding the same. Thanks. Ed draft letter to Michael Wert, ODOT May 1, 1991 re: Pacific Highway improvements Dear Ms. Wert: This letter is in regards to the proposed widening of Pacific Highway between Pfaffle street and Commercial, and specifically the proposed task force and study. It follows up on the conversation we had in December regarding this project. First of all, before we set up a task force or try to establish any scope of work for a study, we all need to be convinced that the project is really necessary and desirable, and that all other reasonable alternatives have been explored. I know you and your staff have been most co-operative in reviewing some other concepts presented to you by the city staff, and are now also reviewing some ideas presented to you by Wayne Kittleson on behalf of several concerned property owners. In my opinion, only after those other concepts have been explored should we move on to the study of the 99w widening project, if such a study is still warrented. Assuming a study is warrented, I would suggest we approach it in the following manner. 1. Establish an advisory task force, appointed by the Department of Transportation with the consent of the City Council. The structure could be made up of representatives of City Council, Transportation Committee, Chamber of Commerce, affected business owners, city staff, and ODOT staff along the following lines: Members City Council 1 Transportation committee 2 Chamber of Commerce 2 affected businesses 2 Economic Development committee 1 1 Technical support services would be provided by city staff and ODOT staff, as well as Tri-met staff so far as transit issues are being addressed. The task force would have the following charge: a. recommend methods to ODOT to present information to the general public and to the affected business and property owners. b. act as laisons to other boards and committees, to keep them informed as to the issues involved and progress being made. c. provide review and comment on a concept plan for Pacific Highway between Walnut Street and I-5. C. provide review and comment on specific design issues, including the basic street design, access into the downtown area, access into adjoining properties, and the design details of sidewalks, street trees, bus shelters and the like. d. provide review and comment on re-development issues, including alternative access, land consolidation, and design issues related to the highway widening project (such as building setbacks, signage and street trees) . e. and ultimately, provide recommendations to the City Council on methods, standards, policy issues, financing issues, and any other issue related to the widening project and its effect on the community. 2. Develop an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Tigard and ODOT. Such an agreement would be to detail out the arrangement whereby the City would be responsible for conducting a study of design and re-development issues, and the state would be responsible for the citizen involvement and public information program. (Another option being that the city would assume responsibility for the latter also) . The State would pay the City for the costs of hiring a consultant to assist with the design and redevelopment issues. The City would select the consultant, and administer the contract. In addition, the State would pay for the City's expenses in the project, including staff time and legal time. 3. Develop a Request for Proposals and solicit consultants. The consultants would be selected by the City, with the concurrance of the State. The consultant's would primarily be involved with design issues that go beyond the basic highway work. . .i.e. , the landscaping, signage and transit related improvements . They would also be involved in all re-development issues. However, they would not be involved in any business acquisition or relocation issues. Please let me know if you want to move ahead as indicated above. If so, then we should set up some timelines and assign responsibilities for beginning this process. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me.

They approved of the ideas contained in it, and wish to appoint such a Task Force by the first of July. Next steps, besides forming a task force, would be to draft a scope of work for a consultant, enter into an intergovernmental agreement between ODOT and the City of Tigard, send out an RFP, select a consultant, and start. Meanwhile, even before the consultant is hired, we may *ish to have a meeting or two with the task force. I'll start drafting a scope of work and keep you posted. Meanwhile, if you have questions or comments, please call me.

Establish an Advisory Task Force: The members would be appointed by the Tigard City Council with the consent of ODOT. The structure would be made up along the following lines: Members City Council 2 Transportation Committee 2 Chamber of Commerce 1 Affected Businesses 2 Citizens at large 2 Planning "`ommissioner 1 City Staff 1 The task force would have the following charge: A) Review other options to the widening project. Consider whether or not this project as currently envisioned best meets the long range transportation and development needs of the City, or whether there are better alternatives available which should be more seriously considered. B) Facilitate Communication Between the City the public and ODOT: This would entail: 1) Recommending methods to ODOT on the best way to present information about the project to the general public, affected businesses, and property owners, and; 2) Serve as liasons to City boards and committees and community groups and organizations to keep them informed and to provide for feedback to the City and ODOT. -1- C) Review an Overall Concept Plan. Provide review and comment on a concept plan for Pacific highway between Walnut Street and I-5. D) Review Design Details: The task force would review and comment on specific project design issues. This would include: 1) The roadway design and access issues, including access impacts on adjoining properties and how access can be improved to the Tigard Downtown. 2) Review and comment on urban design elements that should be part of this project such as pedestrian facilities, street trees and landscaping, lighting, mass transit facilities, etc. E) Review Redevelopment Strategies: if implemented, this project will have significant impacts on the commercial character of Highway 99W. Therefore it will be necessary for this committee to review the re-development options and methods available, and propose strategies to the City Council. rb/todot.99w - �1 -2- MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: 99W Task Force FROM: Ed Murphy, Community Development Director DATE: September 23, 1991 SUBJECT: Organization Issues For this first meeting of the Task Force, I thought it might be useful to spend some time reviewing the purpose and organization of the Task Force, the key issues, and the background information related to 99W. PURPOSE OR MISSION: (Please consider this as several draft statements) . • To review alternatives for increasing the capacity, safety and appearance of 99W. • To advise ODOT and the City Council on the long term function of 99W, alternatives to widening the highway, or if widening is to occur, methods to minimize the disruption to established business, as well as methods to enhance business opportunities. • To create a long term concept plan for 99W that includes pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities, as well as improvements to the aesthetics of the highway. • To advise ODOT on short term construction projects intended to improve safety. • To be liaisons with different community groups. • To advise ODOT and the City on methods to keep the community informed, and constuctively participating in the process. KEY ISSUES: 1. How should 99W function as part of the regional and statewide plan? Should it continue to be an Access Oregon highway, if the Western By-pass is built? How does it function as part of the City's transportation scheme? 2. Are there viable alternatives to widening 99W? If so, how can the city and state work together to review those alternatives? 3. Should 99W be widened? If so, where and how? What happens if there is no change? 4. If 99W is widened, how can it be done to minimize the impact on existing businesses, and even create new opportunities for business development? 5. What should the long term design concept be for 99W, in terms of landscaping, lighting, utilities, signage? 6. What part will transit play in the design and function of 99w? 7. Is there anything that can be done over the short term to improve vehicular safety? Reduce delays? Improve pedestrian and bicycle safety? Improve the appearance? BACKGROUND BITS AND PIECES • Transportation Map (Ed) • City Center traffic study (Randy) • Triangle study (Ed) • I-5/217 reconstuction (Ted) • 217 corridor study (Ted) • Western ByPass study (Ted) • Barber Blvd. light rail study (Randy) • ODOT's initial three alternatives for widening 99W (Ted) • Initial approach favored by City staff (concept plan; design; redevelopment and public involvement) (Ed) • Alternative road alignments proposed by Kittleson (Randy) GETTING ORGANIZED Clarify the mission. Decide upon the "mechanics" . chair, vice-chair, secretary rules of order keeping a record meeting times, frequency, place quorum public notices AGENDA FOR NEXT MEETING em/99WMtg.Ag1 - Page 2 - o Regarding the 99w project: What we want seems to be as follows: A vision for the whole stretch of 99w, from I-5 to the Tualitin River. The vision would be for some type of "boulevard" (Pacific Boulevard! ) that would include major entryway treatments, special landscaping, and physical changes to the highway that would facilitate traffic movement while still providing access to adjoining businesses. We also want to make sure that this project includes more that just asphalt and concrete. Design details from signage to street lighting to landscaping should be considered with regards to the image we are trying to create. We also want to make sure that, even as business are removed, new development opportunities are created. And that the businesses that are removed are treated fairly, and are given an opportunity to relocate. In some cases, we may activity try to recruit them into the downtown area. Finally, we want to insure that the process involves affected business people and property owners, and the Chamber or other groups. We want the process to be open and fair. . .and we do not want the City to have to deal with a big squabble between business people, or take the blame for what the state may be doing. Our role should be, initially, to approach the state with our concerns about the project so far, and suggest a way that they can address our concerns. One way is to have the City take the lead in the some of the citizen involvement and design issues, with the State paying all or most of that cost. We would then hire a firm with experience in highway design, landscape architecture, redevelopment methods and business involvement. This may be a viable approach, and would give us a better project, and well as a concept plan for the whole stretch, as well as a chance to interact with our business community. I think it is worth exploring. This, of course, assumes that the project is the right project to build in the first place. If we want to consider alternatives to building the project, or major deviations from this project, a traffic engineering type analysis might be the better approach. I would be happy to review some strategy with you at your leisure, and also to meet with Jim McClure or someone at ODOT to discuss the concept further. ejm/odot99w.mem MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Jim McClure FROM: Ed Murphy DATE: December 19, 1990 SUBJECT: Pacific Highway Project Thank-you for taking the time to discuss this project on the telephone with me, and setting up a time to meet with me personally to discuss some concepts and ideas further. I was pleased to learn from our phone conversation that we both had similar thoughts about the project. Some of the issues I would like to discuss with you further are as follows: 1. First, is this really the right project? Before we get too far into the details of the project design, it would be very useful to the city to know what other alternatives were considered. Is there another way of accomplishing your goals that is more effective or a better long term solution? 2 . How does the project fit into the long term picture? Is this just the first phase of a larger project? To answer this, a "vision" or concept for the whole stretch of 99w from I-5 to the Tualitin River would be useful. 3. What sort of "concepts" are being thought of now? From a design standpoint, I am interested in looking at a concept that would transform 99w into a "Pacific Boulevard" through Tigard. That concept would include attractive landscaping, clear and attractive signage, underground utilities, wide sidewalks with easy handicapped access, bicycle lanes, bus turn-outs and attractive bus shelters, and a blending with the privately developed properties adjacent to the highway. In addition, I would envision a related effort by the City and the adjoining businesses to improve the appearance of the development alongside the highway, and in particular to reduce the clutter of signage. 4 . Is there a way to include light-rail planning as part of the project? As you are probably aware, the Portland Planning Bureau is commencing a study of the light rail potential of Barber Boulevard from downtown Portland to downtown Tigard. It would seem that this study effort could dovetail with the "visioning" process. 1 � j 4. Is there a way to protect existing businesses, or relocate them in suitable areas, or re-develop those properties where businesses have to be removed? We are concerned not only with the immediately adjoining businesses, but access into Park 217 and into the downtown area as well. What we are seeking is a way to move traffic more efficiently, improve the appearance of "the strip", and yet at the same time, protect and enhance the business potential that is related to this stretch of highway. 5. Is there a way that this project can enhance other economic development related efforts being made by the City, including the revitalization of the downtown area, and the development of the Tigard Triangle? Access into both areas is critical for these areas to develop to their full potential. 6. How should the business interests and affected property owners be involved in this project? How can we best keep them informed? What should be the City's role in the project versus the State's? The City would like, of course, to see a process unfold where the related interests have a voice and are kept informed, all the way from the "vision" stage through the construction phase. 7. Should the City or the State retain the services of a consultant or consultants to help with the "visioning", the design details, the redevelopment aspects and the citizen participation portions of the project? If so, who should manage the consultants? Who should pay for the consultants? In my opinion, a consultant firm, if properly selected and managed, could go a long ways towards helping the state and the city work with the affected property owners, creating a design concept that results in an attractive and efficient highway, and maximizing the redevelopment potential that the project presents. The ideas presented above are for discussion only, and are not an official statement of "the City position". The City Council has not discussed the ideas presented above, nor have they yet formed a task force to review the project. I would like to report to the Council in January the concepts we are discussing, and we can go from there. Again, thank you for taking the time to meet me, and for your willingness to consider these ideas. CC.

Edwards HIGHWAY DIVISION Mayor l,OMMol gEVEL�PMEN� Region I City of Tigard FILE CODE: P.O. Box 23397 Tigard, Oregon 97223 C034-1804 On August 11, 1992,the Tigard City Council will receive a recommendation from the Tigard 99W Task Force for interim improvements to Highway 99W and Hall Boulevard. We appreciated the opportunity to work with the Task Force and generally support the recommendations of the group. However, part of this package includes a proposal to provide access to Park 217 from the southbound on-ramp to Highway 217 from Highway 99W. This proposed access is against ODOT policy and will not be approved by ODOT. Highway 217 is a fully access-controlled facility where egress and ingress is controlled by one-way ramp interchanges. The sole purpose of these ramps is access to and from the mainline of Highway 217. ODOT's policy is that no access to city streets, county roads, or private development will be allowed off of interchange access ramps. This 'policy is recognized throughout the state to preserve the integrity of the state highway system. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)recognizes this standard as vital to reduce conflicts and to maintain safe and efficient freeway operations. This long-time policy is strengthened with renewed emphasis on protecting the highway infrastructure through access control measures. Therefore, no design solution utilizing an interchange ramp for access to public or private development will be acceptable to ODOT. In a June 24, 1992 report prepared by Ernest R. Munch, there are examples of several other interchange locations around the Portland metropolitan area that allow freeway access from a parallel city street. In every case, these are mitigating measures included as part of a major freeway project to maintain the local circulation of existing city streets while also providing new freeway access to serve a large geographical area. These examples differ from Mr. Munch's proposal in that this is a proposal to serve a local property owner and is not necessary as mitigation for a major ODOT project.

Good access is already provided to the property from Hall Blvd. ODOT's responsibility is to provide a statewide system of transportation to serve the public at large, not to improve access to private developments where they feel their access is inadequate. ODOT cannot compromise the safety and integrity of Highway 217 to provide this individual access. Concern has been expressed that ODOT has not provided alternatives to this proposal. The Tigard 99W Task Force has discussed allowing U-turns at Highway 99W and Hall Boulevard and improving the signing to Park 217 if a raised median is constructed to improve the safety on Highway 99W. ODOT is open to both of these alternatives as part of a package for interim improvements to Highway 99W. The City of Tigard ss-?£f report recommendations to the 99W Task Force and ODOT's design represent a good workable solution for interim improvements to Highway 99W. That solution includes widening of Hall Boulevard at Highway 99W to include additional turning lanes onto Highway 99W and a raised median on Highway 99W between Highway 217 and Hall Boulevard. My staff has worked with Tigard City staff and the Tigard 99W Task Force for over a year now. Our participation is to provide technical support and information based on ODOT policies and good engineering practices. We are committed to continue our involvement with the task force,but our commitment is equally strong to not create future problems where they do not exist today and not to preclude future operations and improvements to Hwy 217.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Direct that staff initiate regional discussion of the study proposal through the WCTCC (Washington County Transportation Coordinating Committee) . INFORMATION SUMMARY The 99W Task Force has heard proposals for :alternative roadways to reduce future traffic volumes on Highway 99W. The proposals decrease future traffic volumes on 99W but would increase traffic volumes on other arterial and collector streets . In order to fully evaluate the benefits and impacts of proposed alternatives, it is necessary to look at the transportation system in a larger area. The Task Force has recommended that a transportation study be initiated to review future transportation system options in the 99W area, as shown approximately on the attached map. The study would look at the roadway system that connects I-5 with Highways 99W and 217 . The study would look at both the highways and the alternative connecting roadways . Because the study includes major regional transportation corridors and because the study area covers several jurisdictions, it is likely that the study can be funded by Metro and/or ODOT. All of the affected jurisdictions would participate in the study. The results of the study could lead to amendments to the Regional Transportation Plan and to the comprehensive plans of the respective jurisdictions . If Tigard initiates the study proposal now and gains the support of the other affected jurisdictions, it is likely that the study would be conducted in 1994 . This schedule fits well with other regional studies . By early 1994, the Western Bypass Study and the Regional 2040 plan are expected to be completed; the results of these studies are important to the 99W area study . Also, 1994 is when Metro expects to consider additional review of the Barbur LRT (light rail transit) and its future extension through Tigard. If the Council agrees that the 99W Area study is appropriate, staff will initiate discussions with other jurisdictions through the WCTCC. The proposed study is consistent with the recently adopted Council goals for 1992-93 . PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES 1 . Direct staff to pursue study initiation through WCTCC. 2 . Initiate an independent study funded by Tigard. 3 . Determine that the study is not appropriate at this time. FISCAL NOTES As proposed, the study work would be funded by Metro and/or ODOT as part of the regional transportation planning process . No additional City funding would be required except for the cost of staff participation in the study process . rw/99W-st ti<< SOS RD h' FO�� • OS g �y SCHOLLS �. r DURHAM RD BLV TUAIATIN TUALATIN /r RD RD BORLAND SAF SHERWOpD .

Enclosed for your information are copies of previous letters sent to property owners . Letters for Tigard Plaza were sent to Tigard Properties Inc. , the owner name shown on the County Assessor' s records . Also enclosed is a copy of a drawing showing street improvements which the 99W Task Force considered on June 25th and July 16th. On July 16th, the Task Force voted to recommend two projects . The first project is the widening of Hall Boulevard on both approaches to 99W. The widening along the Tigard Plaza frontage would be generally as shown on the enclosed drawing. The second project would involve the installation of a median barrier along. 99W, combined with construction of new access to Warner Avenue and to the Park 217 development . The Task Force is scheduled to present its recommendations to the City Council on August 11th. The Council will then decide what projects to recommend to the State Highway Division. Funding is not currently available for these projects; therefore, a construction schedule is not known. If the Council agrees with the recommendations of the Task Force, we would expect to lobby the State to fund these projects during the next five years .

As you know, we need all the parking that we have. Any removal of property or removal of any of the access to the property would be extremely detrimental to the remainder of the property. It is impossible for us to determine exactly what you have in mind in the preliminary proposal, but when you do have more concrete information so we can determine exactly how much land you intend to take and what the final result will be as far as you are concerned, it would be appreciated if you would so notify my office. It would be appreciated if you would forward to my office any other plans or proposals that you are considering. Thank you very much. Very truly yours, Milt O MOB/mr cc: Carol McDonald Carlene Galloway tigard\1tr\city.714 TO: File July 21, 1992 FROM: Dennis J. Mitchell Transportation Analysis Engineer SUBJECT: New Access Proposed for Park 217 99W Interchange on 217 On July 16th Mike Wert, Ted Keasey, Lidwien Rahman and myself met with Ernie Munch to discuss a new access proposal for Park 217 and Smith's Home Furnishings. The proposal consisted of providing a public one way street from the 217 southbound on-ramp from 99W to Park 217. This proposal was precipitated by a possible change in access pattern if a median barrier was constructed on 99W between the junction of the 217 southbound ramps and Hall Boulevard. This project is not funded for construction in ODOT's current Six Year Transportation Improvement Program. Concerns raised during this discussion included: 1. The non-standard ramp configuration and proximity to the ramp junction would create driver confusion. 2. The slower speeds on this access road would impede traffic accelerating onto the on-ramp. This difference in speeds would also. raise a safety concern. 3. This configuration is the opposite of tradition connections between frontage roads and ramps. Instead of a ramp taking off from a frontage road this configuration would have a frontage road taking off from a ramp. This condition is contrary to normal driver expectation. 4. This configuration could limit future upgrading alternatives for a possible 217 widening or interchange improvement. 5. 217 is a controlled access facility and 99W is an Access Oregon Highway. Department policy requires protection of these important transportation facilities for through traffic movement over immediate access. 6: This proposal is- essentially a new access into a private development. 7. This interchange is scheduled for ramp metering. This proposal would connect in the middle of the storage area for the meter, thus adding to driver confusion and safety concerns. r f y r 8. This proposal is contrary to the draft interchange policy for freeway interchanges. 9. This proposal would require a design exception. Mike Wert stated that the department's position on this would be to not support it and that it would be unlikely that a design exception could be approved. The- department agreed to review the technical concerns further for clarification and to provide information on the process of a design exception.

In particular, I would like to comment on the intersection at Hwy 99 and SW Garden Place by the Texico station. While the intersection/access is not ideal, it is both useable and liveable. I personally use it several times a day, as do many of our customers. I am very strongly opposed to blocking the left turn option at this intersection except under one condition: The addition of an alternate entry to Park 217 via a frontage road that would parallel the entry ramp to Hwy 217 south bound- Only by adding this frontage access would the left turn closure be viable. As a recent business to Park 217, our growth and retention at this location is predicated on our customers ' convenient access to our showroom. Your validation of our concerns and advocation of our needs to the appropriate Highway Department Authorities will be greatly appreciated.

Munch Region 1 Architect Urban Planner FILE CODE: 111 S.W. Oak Street, Suite 300 Portland, Oregon 97204 My staff has recently briefed me on your proposal to the 99W Task Force and I have reviewed your letter of July 30, 1992 to ODOT and the City of Tigard staffs. I feel it is important to address your proposal at our system policy level and then to take that context into your project proposal. The 99W Task Force was formed by the City of Tigard to find solutions to traffic congestion on 99W. The task force is an outgrowth of local opposition to the Pfaffle to Commercial six-lane widening project on 99W. This widening project was advanced to ODOT as the Portland region's number one priority highway project from the RTP and Tigard's Transportation Plan. The committee chose first to focus on interim improvements on 99W between OR 217 and Greenburg Road to alleviate current congestion before looking at larger 99W improvements. This effort focused on the 99W/Hall Boulevard intersection. ODOT's 1991 Oregon Highway Plan classifies 99W as an Access Oregon Highway of statewide importance and OR 217 as an access controlled highway of regional importance. OR 217 is a fully access controlled facility where egress and ingress is controlled by one-way ramps at interchanges. The sole purpose of these ramps is access to and from the mainline of Highway 217. ODOT's policy is that no access to city streets, county roads, or private development will be allowed off of interchange access ramps. This policy has been and is recognized by cities and counties throughout the state to preserve the integrity of the state highway system. AASHTO recognized this standard as vital to reduce conflicts and to maintain safe and efficient �Z freeway operations. The long-time policy has been strengthened with 9002 SE McLoughlin Milwaukie,OR 97222 (503)653-3090 734-1850(Rev.3-91) P FAX (503) 653-3267 renewed emphasis on protecting the highway infrastructure through access control measures. Therefore, no design solution utilizing an interchange ramp for access to public or private development will be acceptable to ODOT. My staff met with you on July 16, 1992 presenting this same policy discussion along with project level consideration regarding your proposal. Our position was clearly stated at that time. A copy of our meeting notes are attached for your review. The City of Tigard staff report recommendation to the 99W Task Force and our design represents a good workable solution for interim improvements to 99W. That solution includes widening of Hall Boulevard at 99W to include additional turning lanes onto 99W and a median, with additional signage, between OR 217 and Hal0oulevard. We are committed to continue its involvement with the task force to find solutions to the problems on 99W, but our commitment is equally strong to not create future problems where they do not exist today.
