Moving Forward TV Highway Background
Background Summary Report The Moving Forward TV Highway Enhanced Transit and Access Plan is studying the feasibility of enhanced transit service in the TV Highway corridor, primarily within unincorporated Washington County between SW Cornelius Pass Road and SW 160th Avenue. The TV Highway corridor was selected as a “Next Phase Regional Priority Corridor” in Metro’s 2035 High Capacity Transit (HCT) System Plan and has been the subject of substantial state, regional, and local planning work. The County is undertaking a corridor refinement study that will define feasible transit concepts, identify needed access improvements such as bicycle and pedestrian facilities and highway crossings to potential transit stations along the corridor within the project area, and lay the groundwork for the corridor to be elevated to a regional priority HCT corridor. This report documents relevant plans, studies, projects and policies derived from prior planning efforts. These plans, studies and projects are listed below in Table 1, and summarized in Appendix A.
