  • 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.

  • Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project Profile, Oregon
    Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project Portland, Oregon (January 2015) The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) is constructing a double-track light rail transit (LRT) extension of the existing Yellow Line from the downtown Portland transit mall across the Willamette River, to southeast Portland, the city of Milwaukie, and urbanized areas of Clackamas County. The project includes construction of a new multimodal bridge across the Willamette River, one surface park-and­ ride lot facility with 320 spaces, one park-and-ride garage with 355 spaces, expansion of an existing maintenance facility, bike and pedestrian improvements and the acquisition of 18 light rail vehicles. Service will operate at 10-minute peak period frequencies during peak periods on weekdays. The project is expected to serve 22,800 average weekday trips in 2030. The project will increase transit access to and from employment and activity centers along the Portland and Milwaukie transportation corridor. It will link Downtown Portland with educational institutions, dense urban neighborhoods, and emerging growth areas in East Portland and Milwaukie. The Willamette River separates most of the corridor from Downtown Portland and the South Waterfront. The corridor’s only north-south highway (Highway 99E), which provides access to Downtown Portland via the existing Ross Island, Hawthorne, Morrison, and Burnside bridges, is limited to two through-lanes in each direction for much of the segment between Milwaukie and central Portland, most of which is congested. Existing buses have slow operating speeds due to congestion, narrow clearances and frequent bridge lift span openings. None of the existing river crossings provide easy access to key markets.
