ADJOURN Planning Commission Staff Report Ordinance No. 814 July 27, 2016 Page 2 of 8 A more in depth review of Ordinance No. 814 is included below in the Analysis section of this report. Initial Public Hearings The initial public hearing for Ordinance No. 814 before the Planning Commission is scheduled for August 3, 2016. The initial public hearing before the Board is scheduled for September 6, 2016. Ordinance Notification Ordinance No. 814 and an accompanying summary were mailed to citizen participation organizations (CPOs) and interested parties on July 6, 2016. A display advertisement regarding the proposed ordinance was published in the Hillsboro Argus and The Oregonian newspapers on July 13, 2016 and July 15, 2016, respectively. Individual Notice 2016-06 describing proposed Ordinance No. 814 was mailed to 314 people on the General Notification List on July 20, 2016. A copy of this notice was also mailed to the Planning Commission at that time. IV. ANALYSIS Proposed Ordinance No. 814 has four exhibits. Amendments to the Rural/Natural Resource Plan and the Comprehensive Framework Plan for the Urban Area (Exhibits 1 and 2) The amendments to the Rural/Natural Resource Plan and Comprehensive Framework Plan for the Urban Area (Exhibits 1 and 2) are housekeeping in nature and update the references to the Transportation System Plan (TSP). TSP Amendments (Exhibit 3) Amendments proposed to the TSP include updates to the mobility policy and glossary to remove references to ‘Regional Street Design Overlay’ and ‘Boulevards.’ In 2014, the TSP adopted ‘Streetscape Overlays’ and ‘Pedestrian Parkways’ as new designations with revised definitions for these features. The TSP amendments made in 2014 and 2015 failed to remove the references to the previous designations and this amendment proposes to correct this oversight. The revised designations have been incorporated into the Pedestrian System Map. Adding these designations to the Pedestrian System Map was intended to reduce the number of maps and make it easier to find and apply the features. The 2010 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) adopted similar designations. The ‘Streetscape Overlays’ and ‘Pedestrian Parkways’ designations in the updated TSP are intended to be consistent with the RTP designations. The functional classification designation of Church Street and South Street in Gaston was discussed with city of Gaston staff during the review of appropriate streets for consideration in the Major Street Transportation Improvement Program. The collector designation is proposed due to the longer distance of trips traveling this route through town. The proposed amendments to the lane numbers designation on Wilkins Street and along 205th/206th Avenue in Hillsboro were mistakenly omitted from A-Engrossed Ordinance Planning Commission Staff Report Ordinance No. 814 July 27, 2016 Page 3 of 8 No. 783. The proposed amendments rectify the prior omission. The lane numbers designations were included on the unofficial map produced as part of the review of A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 783, however the designation itself was not included in the ordinance. The revised lane number designations are consistent with the city of Hillsboro’s TSP and Amberglen Plan. The proposed amendment will designate these roadways as intended and discussed during the development of the TSP. The proposed amendment to the ‘Pedestrian System’ Map will designate the Waterhouse Trail as a Community Trail rather than a Regional Trail. This change is proposed to be consistent with the Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District (THPRD) Trails Masterplan. THPRD intends to focus on the development of the Westside Trail as the main north-south regional trail. The Waterhouse Trail is now envisioned a parallel and supporting facility rather than a regional facility. The amendments to the Transit System Map are intended to be consistent with the TriMet Southwest Service Enhancement Plan (SWSEP). A copy of the TriMet Southwest Service Enhancement Plan is attached for reference (Attachment B). The SWSEP was adopted by the TriMet board in December 2015. The Transit System Map in the TSP had transit designations consistent with transit planning before the SWSEP was adopted. The SWSEP is the result of over a year and a half of community engagement and the development of a long-range service improvements and expansion vision for TriMet’s southwest service area. A copy of the proposed Transit System Map will be available at the Planning Commission hearing to show the overall transit system after the proposed amendments. Community Development Code (CDC) Amendments (Exhibit 4) Several amendments are proposed to the CDC to address transportation-related issues. The amendment to CDC Section 418-2 (Additional Setbacks Required for Future Right-of-Way) was identified by Current Planning staff to clarify existing practices for determining setback requirements. The existing language does not indicate where the setback for future right-of-way is to be measured from. Also in certain circumstances where the existing right-of-way is not symmetrical and/or not coincident with the existing traveled way, no mechanism for an alternative setback is provided.

  • Survey of Streetcar Cities] Summaries of the Various Streetcar Projects from Around the United States
    2012 [SURVEY OF STREETCAR CITIES] SUMMARIES OF THE VARIOUS STREETCAR PROJECTS FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES Introduction Streetcars are enjoying a national revival in these early years of the 21st century. As communities across the nation rediscover the charm and efficiency of this short distance transit option, they are investing in new streetcar lines or extensions of existing operations. This survey in support of The Community Streetcar Coalition (CSC) was commissioned to track important streetcar development projects, planned or underway, in major U.S. cities. Portland Streetcar Inc. funded this work with the partial proceeds of its 2005 Rudy Bruner Gold Medal Award for Urban Excellence. This survey report is a living, working document. It will be updated regularly, and shared with policymakers, opinion leaders, interested municipalities, and those involved in streetcar issues and technologies. Cities wishing to be included in subsequent iterations of this document should contact Julie Gustafson, [email protected]. The Community Streetcar Coalition The Community Streetcar Coalition was established in 2004. It is comprised of cities, transit authorities and private sector that are focused on supporting the Small Starts program and establishment of a program that supports streetcars in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and advocating with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to implement the Small Starts program.

    2018 Regional Transportation Plan Appendix C Online survey comments on Public Review Draft and Strategies August 31, 2018 Appendix C: Online survey comments on Public Review Draft and Strategies What would you like to share about this balance of investments and your transportation priorities? Answered: 637 Skipped: 244 # RESPONSES DATE 1 There is too much allocated to highways 8/17/2018 6:12 AM 2 Really? After all the pomp about sustainability and trying to make Portland a more dense, dynamic city, Metro is proposing $4.6B 8/15/2018 11:36 PM on highways? That's a stale and unambitious idea. Build it and they will come--so lets build what the planet and our society are begging for people to use. Also, more on transportation demand management and systems--streamline it all so bikes always have an earlier green light, cars can flow freely when driving is necessary, etc. 3 Firstly and most importantly, absolutely no money should be spent on highway expansion considering the current situation with 8/15/2018 11:26 PM climate change. Investing in highway expansion is the same materially as climate change denial. Metro, the State, and the City of Portland will not meet our low-bar climate goals if investments are made in highways. Instead, the current infrastructure should be used efficiently through use of tolling either by tolling the entire system, or use of market-based pricing toll lanes. The current plan does does little to actually build a transit or active transportation system where residents can quickly travel throughout the region without a car.

  • Streetcar Operations
    Portland Bureau of Transportation Streetcar Operations Program Description & Goals The Streetcar connects neighborhoods, employment centers and cultural destinations around the central city with seven-days-a-week service, from Northwest Portland to the Pearl, Portland State University (PSU), South Waterfront, OMSI, Central Eastside and Lloyd, crossing the Broadway Bridge and the Tillikum Crossing. The program provides both transportation mobility and an incentive for denser, urban development. As the streetcar has expanded, the collaboration between public and private partners has resulted in affordable housing, public open spaces, and brownfield redevelopment. The Portland Streetcar is owned by the City of Portland and operated by the Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) in partnership with TriMet (the regional transit agency) and Portland Streetcar, Inc. (PSI), a nonprofit that provides management support and private sector advocacy. With it’s 5-Year Strategic Plan, Portland Streetcar tracks a number of performance measures and provides an annual report to City Council on the program. Key performance measures include annual streetcar ridership, percent of operating budget provided by fare revenue, and percent of on- time performance. In April 2018, Streetcar had its highest average weekday ridership of 16,650, and a FY 2017-18 total of 4.87 million. On-time performance for FY 2017-18 was 85%, 84%, and 79% respectively for the NS Line, A Loop and B Loop.
