Julie Fitzgerald on HB 3065-8
Follow-up Testimony by City of Wilsonville Mayor Julie Fitzgerald on HB 3065-8: If Metro-Area Highway Tolling Is Implemented, then Legislation Should Establish Key Principles for Use of Revenues and Increase Public Transit Responses to Questions Posed by Rep. Boshart Davis for Local Governments regarding HB 3065-8 on May 13, 2021, before the Joint Committee on Transportation Co-Chairs Beyer and McLain, Vice-Chairs Boquist and Noble, and Members of the Committee: On behalf of the City of Wilsonville, I am providing follow-up testimony responding to questions posed by Representative Boshart Davis to local governments regarding HB 3065-8. We appreciate the opportunity to provide this follow-up testimony, and welcome the opportunity to dialogue further with members of the Joint Transportation Committee and legislative leadership. Q1 HB2017 committed to funding the Rose Quarter Project, and the intent of this bill is to continue to fulfill that commitment. How does this bill affect your position on the project? The City of Wilsonville recognizes in developing the transportation-funding bill HB 2017 of 2017, the Oregon legislature worked with many interests to develop the priority highway traffic “bottleneck” projects list that included I-205/Abernathy Bridge and I-5/I-84 Rose Quarter projects. The -8 amendment adds the crucial I-5/Boone Bridge and Seismic Improvement Project as a priority facility for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to advance in conjunction with other HB 2017 priority projects. Given the various community and organizational dynamics associated with each of these projects, the City would expect that the projects might proceed on timelines that may be difficult to specifically program for implementation. -

CHAPTER 2: Existing Conditions
CHAPTER 2: Existing conditions Overview This chapter presents an inventory and assessment of existing conditions that impact and are related to Gresham’s transportation facilities and programs. 1. Study Area Gresham’s city limits and the Springwater, Pleasant Valley and Kelley Creek Headwaters Plan Areas are considered the study area for this TSP (Map 2). Pleasant Valley and its future development is part of Gresham’s Map 2: Study Area Location Map study area for the TSP update. 10 CITY OF GRESHAM TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN 2. Community Development Plan City of Gresham Gresham’s Community Development Plan is the guide for the City’s development over the next 20 years and beyond. 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. -

Washington County ready to de-ice and sand roads? began as a farming community; roads were farm to market - east/west, connecting our towns and farms with Portland. Fewer north/south connections were built. Also eastern Washing- ton County is quite hilly, which does not make for an easy grid system. And since the 1970’s the county has not allowed the “undergrounding” of streams (burying them in long culverts). -
Canby Ferry Alternatives Feasibility Study Open House Feedback And
Canby Ferry Alternatives Feasibility Study Open House June 13, 2018 Feedback and Comments On June 13, 2018, Clackamas County held a public open house in the Canby Public Library share information about the process being used in the feasibility study and to gather input from the public on what factors they think we should consider during the study. The open house was publicized by a mailing of more than 6,000 postcards to area addresses, a news release, website information, social media, and contacts with government and community organizations. More than 250 people attended the meeting, including 161 who signed in at the county’s welcome table and 122 who turned in completed comment forms. The responses from those comment forms, compiled by subject and in raw form, are shown below. The numbers in parentheses before many items represents the total number comments received that reflected that response. Please note that most people made more than one comment, so the total number of comments is greater than the number of comment forms received. On average, how often do you ride the Canby Ferry?

STUDY AREA #1 HILLSBORO-BETHANY Overview
STUDY AREA #1 HILLSBORO-BETHANY Overview 2010 2035 Growth Growth % Households 17,614 21,339 3,725 21% Employment 28,491 50,506 22,015 77% Summary About 75% of households are within ½ mile of regional destinations such as schools, shopping centers and major employers – slightly above county urban area average. Employment is expected to increase 77% by 2035, while households increase 21%. HILLSBORO-BETHANY CONNECTIVITY Study Area #1 Findings Street network and intersection density is below county urban area average. Roads and intersections are generally far apart, due in part to large industrial properties in the study area. Roads have relatively few dead-ends or cul-de-sacs. ACTIVE HILLSBORO-BETHANY TRANSPORTATION Study Area #1 Crossing Spacing on Major Streets Average: 0.26 miles Longest: 0.97 miles on Sunset Highway Findings Trail and Sidewalk coverage is better than county urban area average. However, critical gaps remain on Rock Creek and Waterhouse Trails. Bike facility coverage is slightly below county urban area average. Several arterials, including NW 185th Avenue and Cornell and Evergreen Roads, were improved to county standard in the past 15 years. However, several major gaps in the sidewalk and bike lane network remain, including West Union Road. Crossing spacing on Sunset Highway and Brookwood Parkway are well over typical (¼ mile).

Pearl District Existing Conditions Report
Pearl District Access and Circulation Plan Existing Conditions Report Introduction This report reviews existing conditions related to land use and transportation in the study area. The Pearl District is located within the larger River District Urban Renewal Area, and is bordered by NW Broadway Avenue to the east, Interstate 405 to the west, W Burnside to the south, and the Willamette River to the north (Map 1). Below is a brief summary of existing conditions. For more detailed discussion of the transportation issues in the area, additional information, data, and maps are provided following the summary. Summary The Pearl District has street system and urban form characteristics that are similar to the Downtown and Old Town/Chinatown neighborhoods, with generally the same 200‐foot by 200‐foot block grid, and dense, mixed commercial/residential development. However, unlike its neighbors, much of the Pearl has been almost entirely rebuilt over the last 15 years with a predominance of residential construction. Fueled by infrastructure investments and a set of policies and development agreements following the River District Urban Renewal Area’s creation in 1998, the District has experienced rapid residential and commercial growth. The urban neighborhood built through these efforts has become a national model for inner city redevelopment. The District has many of the transportation characteristics of healthy, mature, 24‐hour mixed use areas, including high pedestrian and transit use, low reliance on the automobile compared to suburban areas, and a mix of residential, office, institutional and retail uses. As a result, Pearl residents, employers and visitors travel half as much by car as the regional average, and have much lower carbon emissions per capita from transportation sources. -
