Community Building Sourcebook Land Use and Transportation Initiatives in Portland, Oregon Community Building Sourcebook Land use and transportation initiatives in Portland, Oregon December 2007 Community Building Sourcebook, Portland, Oregon December 2007 Dear Colleague: TriMet is pleased to provide this Community Building Sourcebook, which highlights the many land use and transportation accomplishments of the Portland, Oregon, region. This document is intended to provide snapshots of the innovative projects, plans and programs that shape our region’s growth. As you will see, Portland’s successes have depended upon partnerships among neighborhoods, local municipalities, regional interests, state agencies, environmental groups, developers and private fi nancial institutions. These partnerships are key to our successes. This document was a collaborative effort among TriMet, Metro and 1000 Friends of Oregon, originally published in 1999. Now in 2007 we are proud to present a revised edition of the Community Building Sourcebook to include new projects, programs and up-to- date information. A new chapter includes two transit-oriented development tours. We hope you fi nd the information and contacts helpful in your own work. Please feel free to call any of the listed representatives for more information. Sincerely, Fred Hansen General Manager Community Building Sourcebook, Portland, Oregon Acknowledgments The 1999 edition of this report was a collaborative effort among 1000 Friends of Oregon, Metro and TriMet.

The TSP supports Gresham as it builds out to the Community Plan’s ultimate vision and respects the city’s natural features through sustainable design. As shown on the City’s Community Plan Map (Map 3) and Graphic 1, 60% of the city, Pleasant Valley and Springwater lands are zoned as low density residential development. Low density residential lands are located throughout the city and Pleasant Valley and are clustered in Springwater’s western half. Medium and high density residential lands comprise 10% of the City’s land uses. They are located primarily north of Powell Boulevard. Mixed-use and centers districts also have residential components. They are located along transit streets and within the City, Pleasant Valley and Springwater centers as discussed below. While commercial lands comprise only 4% of the City’s land use districts, mixed-use and centers districts have a strong commercial component and make up 9% of these land use districts.

  • Public Transit a History of Public Transit in Portland
    Hilary Pfeifer Meredith Dittmar PUBLIC TRANSIT A history of public transit in Portland Melody Owen Mark Richardson Smith Kristin Mitsu Shiga Chandra Bocci trimet.org/history Traveling through time Dear Reader, Transit plays a critical role in providing options for traveling throughout the region. It connects people to work, school, recreational destinations and essential services. It’s not just a commuter service. It’s a community asset. And the benefits extend far beyond those who ride. TriMet’s transit system is recognized as a national leader for its connection to land use. By linking land-use planning and transit, we have helped create livable communities, vibrant neighborhoods and provide alternatives to driving. Transit is also a catalyst for economic development. More than $10 billion in transit-oriented development has occurred within walking distance of MAX light rail stations since the decision to build in 1980. Developers like the permanence of rail when investing in projects. Transit is also valued by the community. Most of our riders— 81 percent—are choice riders. They have a car available or choose not to own one so they can ride TriMet. With more than 325,000 trips taken each weekday on our buses, MAX Light Rail and WES Commuter Rail, we eliminate 66 million annual car trips. That eases traffic congestion and helps keep our air clean. TriMet carries more people than any other U.S. transit system our size. Our many innovations have drawn the attention of government leaders, planners, transit providers and transit users from around the world. We didn’t start out that way.

  • STAFF REPORT To: Daniel L. Dias, Economic and Community Development Director From: Gregg Snyder, Transportation Planning Superv
    STAFF REPORT To: Daniel L. Dias, Economic and Community Development Director From: Gregg Snyder, Transportation Planning Supervisor Don Odermott, Transportation Planning Engineer Date: April 16, 2019 Subject: Letters of Support and Required Mitigation for TriMet’s Red Line Extension and Operational Improvements Project Requested City Council Action: Consider Transportation Committee’s recommendation to City Council to authorize the Mayor to execute two letters to TriMet regarding the Red Line Extension and Operational Improvements Project; one which confers full support of the project and one which requires mitigation of the Red Line Project’s significant impact to multi-modal mobility and safety at the 185th Avenue at-grade crossing. Background/Project Overview: TriMet is currently planning to extend the MAX Red Line from its current terminus at the Beaverton Transit Center out to the Fairplex Station in Hillsboro. According to the analysis completed to date, staff have concerns that the at-grade railroad crossing at 185th Avenue will be significantly affected by the increase in light rail train frequencies. Current traffic analysis is showing an unmitigated double digit increase in vehicle, bus and pedestrian delays and queues in the corridor. At the February 2019 Transportation Committee meeting staff presented the findings of the traffic analysis and discussed next steps which included sending two letters to TriMet. The first letter would confer full support of the project and the second would require mitigation of the Red Line’s significant impact to multi-modal mobility at the grade crossing. Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 are the proposed letters that the Transportation Committee is recommending be executed by the Mayor and delivered to TriMet.

  • Service Alerts – Digital Displays
    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.
