Members Absent: N/A. Staff Present: Principal Engineer Courtney Furman, Project Coordinator Jillian Pfeifer, Principal Transportation Planner Tiffany Gehrke, Sr. Planner Susan Shanks, and Sr. Administrative Specialist Joe Patton.

The meeting was held at Tigard City Hall in the Red Rock Creek Conference Room with a hybrid MS Teams option. 2. CONSIDER MINUTES The vote occurred prior to Jane and Lori’s arrival, and the members present unanimously approved the March 4, 2026, meeting minutes. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A 4. DOWNTOWN REIMAGINED Susan invited feedback and questions on the document included with the agenda. She noted that the item had been briefly discussed at the previous meeting and that the proposed changes, if adopted by Council, would influence future development. The intent is to encourage additional Downtown redevelopment by reducing certain development requirements while preserving the overall vision for the area. In response to Jane’s question, Susan explained that the prior study evaluating relocation of City Hall to the current Public Works site found the option financially infeasible, and the site is not fully owned by the City. She also clarified that the blue-shaded area on the map, including the narrow strip across Hall Blvd., is included because future light-rail plans indicate the line would run through that location. The area is zoned Mixed Use Employment, which permits residential uses above ground-floor employment, giving the City greater control over redevelopment and preventing uses such as public storage. Barrett asked whether the Downtown transportation plan aligns with the curbside management strategy. Tiffany stated that the strategy served as an input to the decision-making process rather than the primary driver, though the plan generally aligns with its principles. Michael inquired about timing and any requirements for updating the plan. Susan confirmed there is no formal requirement but noted that Redevelopment Manager Sean Farrelly has received feedback from developers and property owners regarding redevelopment barriers, many of TIGARD TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE April 1, 2026 Page 2 of 2 which the proposed changes aim to address. She added that long-range planning guides the design vision but must evolve as needs and priorities change. Shawne expressed support for the plan, particularly its thoughtful bicycle-route planning. Susan emphasized the need to balance transportation modes and accommodate varying levels of ability. Concerns were raised regarding parallel ADA parking spaces, as individuals with mobility limitations or equipment may need to exit into the travel lane, unlike with angled spaces. The limited number of Downtown parking spaces was also noted as a potential constraint. 5. TAKEAWAYS FROM TTAC WORKSHOP Tiffany shared a presentation outlining the takeaways including TTAC Format/Frequency, and the TTAC Role. She noted changes to the bylaws for all citizen volunteer groups is forthcoming to make them standardized. Any alternate meeting locations require ADA accessibility and the ability to hear and be heard by remote attendees. 6. FUTURE AGENDA TOPICS & TOUR Tiffany shared Topics of Interest for Meetings and Other Topics that May Interest TTAC. A survey will be created to determine topics of interest for future agenda topics. She is going to coordinate a tour with TCAC again this year. 7. CITY COUNCIL GUIDING QUESTIONS In the interest of time this item was postponed until the May meeting. 8. NON-AGENDA ITEMS A. Sarah shared a document on E-Scooter Safety: What Every Rider Should Know. She would like to create a threefold flyer to distribute at the high school and asked members to provide feedback at the next meeting. B. Shawne shared the Urban3 (www.urbanthree.com) website which has a Services, Revenue Modeling page discussing the economic impact of varying types of development within the same market. A dense downtown generates more money. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Joe Patton, TTAC Meeting Secretary Michael Hendrickson, Chair City of Tigard • 13125 SW Hall Blvd. • Tigard, Oregon 97223 • 503.639.4171 • www.tigard-or.gov May 6, 2026 Secretary United States Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590 Dear Secretary Duffy, I am writing to express the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee’s support for the City of Tigard’s application for Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) 2026 funding to complete Phase 1 of the SW 72nd Ave Corridor project within the Tigard Triangle. Located in the northeast corner of the city, the Tigard Triangle is a 550-acre area roughly the size of Downtown Portland. As a designated ‘Town Center,’ the Triangle is a key growth area for new affordable and market-rate multi-family housing and commercial development in Tigard. Over the past several years, the city has seen 650 units of new multi-family mixed use projects permitted and completed along the Triangle’s main arterial spine, SW 72nd Ave. Although development momentum is building, relying on an incremental approach to complete planned roadway improvements will not support the type of transformational change desired in the Triangle. Today, SW 72nd Ave lacks complete sidewalks, bicycle facilities, safe pedestrian crossings, high quality transit stops, and on-street parking. In short, the roadway is not yet complete and does not serve the mobility or access needs of the hundreds of new residents moving into the Triangle today – particularly those choosing to move about on foot, bicycle, or by public transportation. An investment in SW 72nd Ave will be transformative for the Triangle. Implementing planned improvements will improve safety outcomes, provide critical multi-modal connectivity, and will support economic development and provision of new housing where it is needed most. The Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC), a 9-member resident-led committee representing a wide-range of local transportation interests, is pleased to support this grant application. Thank you for your time and consideration.

E-Scooter Safety Quick tips that can prevent crashes Ride Smart Ride Safe Stay visible Stay aware Stay in control Brought to you by your Friends at TTAC of Tigard Made by S.Bentley Check your scooter, know your scooter. Know Your Equipment  Practice riding one-handed so you’re prepared when you must signal or adjust something.  Inspect your brakes regularly and know how to make basic adjustments.  Check tires, even self-healing ones, for wear or embedded debris.  Confirm your helmet and all hardware are secure before each ride. Ride Smarter  Practice regularly.  Stay visible.  Assume drivers may not see you and ride defensively. E-scooters sit at a fascinating crossover between bicycles and small electric vehicles, and noticing how tiny weight shifts change stability can make you feel surprisingly connected to the physics behind everyday motion.. Don’t learn safety by accident, safety is priceless! HELMETS ARE A MUST, PUT SAFETY FIRST Understand your center of gravity and pracrice. Make eye Contact. Stay aware. Stay alert. Gear Up  Wear a helmet that fits securely and doesn’t move once strapped.  Use lights on both the scooter and your helmet.  Kneepads help prevent the most common e-scooter injury: knee impacts.  Add a bell for alerting pedestrians. Know Your Environment  Watch for bumps, uneven sidewalks, and glass.  Communicate when passing pedestrians: use your bell or say “On your right.”  Understand the road and sidewalk conditions you’ll encounter, including your scooter’s stopping distance.  Know the rules of the road. Use street riding with caution. Balance and Posture  Your posture and foot position affect your center of gravity. Experiment to find which foot forward gives you the most control.  Carrying items—backpacks, handlebar bags, baskets—can pull your weight off-center, especially when turning or braking. Ride cautiously. A motorist endangering a rider may face only a $25 fine, so prioritize your own safety—eye contact and a hand wave can prevent crashes.
