    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.

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.

  • 2018-21 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program Amended As of March 31, 2018
    2018-21 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program Amended as of March 31, 2018 oregonmetro.gov Metro 600 NE Grand Ave. Portland, OR 97232-2736 503-797-1700 As the metropolitan planning organization for the Portland region, Metro is required to prepare the MTIP, documenting funded projects scheduled for the next four years. The MTIP is incorporated without change into the State Transportation Improvement Program, Oregon's statewide four-year transportation capital improvement program. Like the MTIP, Oregon's STIP covers a four-year construction period, and is updated every two to three years. The MTIP (and STIP) are “living” documents, subject to updates through an amendment process. The project programming tables in this report have been updated to include the MTIP amendments approved and processsed prior to the date of this report. The adopted version of the 2018-21 MTIP can be found in its entirety here: 2018-21 MTIP MTIP Content and Timeline The 201 MTIP represents an overall capital expenditure program for the regional transportation system in a four-year timeframe. The transportation investments identified in the MTIP ser8ve-2s1 as a snapshot of the transportation expenditures for the Portland urbanized area during the four-year period beginning October 1, 201 and ending September 30, 20 (federal fiscal years 201 through 20 ). Context within the MTIP includes: the amount and type of federal funding being allocated to a specific transport7ation project, the amount of loc21al dollars provided as mat8c h, and how 2m1uch is estimated to be spent in each year. All transportation investments (i.e. projects) in the MTIP must address federally funded highway, public transit, and state or locally funded projects which have measurable affects to the region's air quality.

Approved by the Metro Council in 1992, the plan brought together two dozen cities, three counties, two park districts, state and federal agencies and many nonprofit organizations, such as the 40-Mile Loop Land Trust and the Audubon Society of Portland. Everyday citizens, too, helped envision the next generation of natural areas, parks and trails.
