Re: July 7th River Terrace 2.0 Transportation Update
Date: June 30, 2025
This memorandum accompanies the materials for the River Terrace 2.0 transportation update
scheduled during the July 7th Planning Commission meeting. During the meeting, staff will provide a
brief general transportation update followed by a discussion of the potential extension of Tile Flat
Road through the River Terrace 2.0 neighborhood. Specifically, the update will discuss the draft Tile
Flat Road Extension Scenarios Analysis, dated June 10, 2025, prepared by the River Terrace 2.0
transportation consultants, Toole Design and DKS Associates. The materials provided for this
discussion include the following documents:
• Tile Flat Extension Scenarios Evaluation Summary
• Tile Flat Extension Scenarios Evaluation Technical Analysis
• Tile Flat Extension Evaluation Matrix
Due to the extensive information provided in these documents, staff recommend that the
Commissioners prioritize reviewing the evaluation summary as it provides an overview of the four
Tile Flat Road extension scenarios and the performance metrics used to assess them. The summary
also synthesizes the results of the technical analysis and the information in the evaluation matrix.
The summary also includes the joint staff-consultant scenario recommendation based on the results
of the technical analysis.
If time permits a more in-depth review of the materials, the technical analysis and the evaluation
matrix are also provided. The technical analysis details the methodologies used to assess the four
scenarios and includes complete evaluation results. The evaluation matrix consolidates the
methodology information and results from the technical analysis into a color-coded matrix.
The July 7th transportation update to the Planning Commission precedes the transportation update
that will be presented to City Council on July 15th during which staff will be requesting direction
from the Council on the Tile Flat extension scenarios. As such, during the July 7th meeting, staff will
be requesting that the Planning Commission provide feedback to staff on whether there is a
preferred Tile Flat extension scenario that should be incorporated into the River Terrace 2.0 street
network. Staff will share the Planning Commission’s feedback with Council. Although no formal vote
is required, the Commission could opt to take a straw poll or vote on a scenario if a consensus is not
reached.
