MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD
TO: Transportation Advisory Committee December 3, 1992
FROM: Randy Wooley, City Engin r
SUBJECT: December meeting
�Ai
1. Capital Improvement Priorities
At the last meeting you discussed priorities for potential streets
capital improvement projects . In the current year' s budget, there
remains $190, 000 which has not been assigned to specific projects .
At the end of the meeting you requested that staff prepare a list
of potential safety projects throughout the City, with cost
estimates .
Attached is a memo from Gary Alfson providing the information
requested by the Committee. Gary will attend the December meeting
to answer any questions you may have about ways to mix and match
the projects .
In the memo Gary has suggested project priorities . If you agree
with Gary' s priorities, then a potential budget recommendation
would be:
Bonita Road regrading $130, 000
79th Avenue shoulder walkway 7, 000
96th Avenue shoulder walkways 53, 000
Total $190, 000
2 . Final meeting?
There appears to be support for the concept of merging review of
transportation issues into the work of the Planning Commission.
Within the next month or so, the City Council is expected to
formally approve the amended duties of the Planning Commission and
make appointments to fill Planning Commission vacancies .
So, the December meeting will probably be the final meeting of the
Transportation Advisory Committee. It' s important that we have a
quorum to complete the remaining business of the Committee. We can
also take some time to celebrate the accomplishments of the
Committee!
3. Street width standards
You should have received a notice of the joint meeting with the
Planning Commission on December 7th. The presentations at the
meeting should be quite interesting. I encourage you to attend and
participate in this meeting. It will be a good way to smooth the
transition from Transportation Advisory Committee to Planning
Commission.

TO: Randy Wooley December 2, 1992
FROM: Gary Alfson
SUBJECT: CIP Alternative Projects
As we have discussed, the 92-93 CIP budget has approximately
$190, 000 remaining. At the Transportation Advisory Committee and
City Council' s request I have prepared a list of safety improvement
projects which can be constructed within the budget .
In addition to the projects previously submitted I have reviewed
the school sites for pertinent projects and a submittal by Bud
Hillman, Director of Operations for the Tigard School District, to
the State concerning hazardous conditions for walking to and from
the schools .
Following is a list of projects in what I believe to be priority
order.
1 . Bonita Road; 72nd Avenue to the railroad tracks . This project
involves elevating Bonita Road east of the railroad tracks to
eliminate a sharp hillcrest . Bonita Road has approximately
8, 000 vehicles per day crossing this location. With the
existence of four driveways and one public street intersection
near the hillcrest, the level of safety is poor and the risk
of an accident high.
The improvements would consist of elevating the road east of
the railroad tracks. The main emphasis would be to eliminate
the sight distance hazard. Additional widening, curbs, and
sidewalks could be provided as funding is available and if
cooperation from neighboring property owners is provided.
Minimum cost for this project is approximately $130, 000 .
2 . 79th Avenue; Durham Road to the sidewalk south of Bond Street.
This would be a short project, widening the existing pavement
five feet on the west side of the road for approximately 250
feet . Some clearing or pruning would be required of the
laurel hedge requiring cooperation from the adjacent property
owner. The cost of the project would be approximately $7, 000
including a full depth pavement section capable of
withstanding vehicular traffic for future widening.
3 . 96th Avenue; Murdock to Sattler Street. This project involves
widening the existing 24 foot wide pavement to provide for
pedestrian/bike paths. Options would include widening for one
or two paths with either ditches or curbs. Using curbs would
reduce the impacts to the adjacent properties but would also
increase the cost by requiring an underground storm drain
system. Widening to provide one path with minimal widening
would include two, eleven foot travel lanes and a five foot
path on one side of the road with ditches. The existing road
would be widened three feet for a cost of approximately
$40, 000 . Widening with a curb on one side would provide two,
twelve foot travel lanes and a five foot pedestrian/bike path
for a total cost of $75, 000 .
Widening to provide two paths would include two, eleven foot
travel lanes and two, five foot pedestrian/bike paths. The
existing road would be widened on both sides a total of eight
feet plus ditches for a total cost of approximately $60, 000 .
The ditches would extend to the edge of the right of way,
impacting any landscaping improvements at or beyond the
property lines . Widening to the standard 34' local street
section with curbs would provide two, five foot paths and two,
twelve foot lanes . The curbs would reduce impacts to adjacent
property owners by eliminating the need for a ditch. The
total cost would be approximately $110, 000 including a storm
drain system.
4 . Murdock Street; 98th Avenue to 103rd Avenue. This project
would involve widening the existing pavement to provide for
one or two pedestrian/bike paths and vertical realignment to
improve sight distance.
Widening to provide one, five foot path and two, eleven foot
travel lanes with vertical realignment of 100th Avenue south
of Murdock Street and Murdock Street west of 100th Avenue
would cost approximately $105, 000 . Widening to provide two,
five foot paths and two, eleven foot travel lanes with
vertical realignment would cost approximately $160, 000 .
Eliminating the vertical realignment would reduce the costs by
$30, 000 .
5 . 72nd Avenue; Highway 99W to Highway 217 . This project would
involve providing a minimum four foot wide asphalt path along
side the existing two travel lanes. The path would be
separated from the road whenever possible. An existing,
varying width, gravel trail currently exists from Elmhurst
Street to the school . The cost of providing the path is
difficult to estimate due to the possible impacts to adjacent
properties and trees requiring acquisition of right of way or
easements. The proposed development and new street
construction at the north end of the project has not been
included. The estimated cost to construct the path would be
approximately $125, 000 plus easements and right of way,
guesstimated at $30, 000 . To construct the path to Elmhurst
Street would cost approximately $50, 000 plus easements and
right of way guesstimated at $5, 000.
6 . Tiedeman Avenue; 106th Avenue to Fanno Creek Bridge. This
project currently has two travel lanes and a four foot
pedestrian/bike path. To provide for a second path would
0
require relocating approximately 400 feet of fencing and
acquisition of right-of-way. Due to the sharp reverse curves
in this area and the condition of the Fanno Creek bridge, an
older wooden bridge which is below the flood plain, the
feasibility of this project is not favorable. Any
improvements at this time could not be utilized in the future
alignment of the bridge and curves . Therefore this project is
not considered as a priority project.
