6 Regional Role:
• Major North/South arterial connecting Clackamas Town Center, the Jade District, Montavilla, and Roseway neighborhoods, and Portland International Airport. • Alternative route over I-205 to and from Portland International Airport • Serves one of the most diverse populations in the region. • TriMet line #72 is highest bus line ridership in the region Includes access to the Blue, Red, and Green MAX lines. • Identified by TriMet as a key corridor to increase transit ridership. 7 Local Role:
• Main street for various communities • Provides local access and circulation • Transit access for diverse range of community members • Existing regional trail crossing and connections • Connector between communities • Portland International Airport access • Civic Corridor within the City of Portland 8 Killingsworth MATCH LINE 1

10 Regional Transportation Plan Projects
• 82nd/Airport Way grade separation • Multimodal safety improvements including sidewalk widening, crossings, lighting, adding a planting strip, median, and other countermeasures • ETC with transit priority and access/safety • Seventies bikeway • Bike and pedestrian gaps at intersections • 82nd/Strawberry Lane intersection improvements • I-205 multi-use path gap from OR224 to OR212
11 Current Local Opportunities
• 82nd/Airport Way interchange $87M (Half funded by Port) • Multi-modal connectivity study (Killingsworth to Alderwood) $500K • Enhanced Transit Corridor Improvements $175M • 82nd Ave/Jonesmore MAX station elevator $TBD • 82nd Ave Safety Corridor $70-100M • Multnomah Co. • Clackamas Co. $70-120M
• Additional roadway elements (stormwater, $60M-120M signal upgrades, ADA ramp reconstruction, pavement) 12 NE 82nd and Airport Way- Existing
13 14 • Every person, regardless of mode of transportation, must pass through this intersection to access the airport terminal. – 20 million annual passengers, over 10,000 employees, and visitors • Another 6,000 people work on Airport Way (PDX to 122nd) • Airport expanding to accommodate 35 million passengers
15 Opportunity
• Grade-separate eastbound Airport Way • Westbound Airport Way stops only for pedestrians and bicycles • Eastbound U-Turns return drivers to the terminal • Traffic signal controls the left turns • Light rail stays where it is • Occupies the least amount of developable land compared to other alternatives • Preliminary design begins in Fall 2019 • Construction would tentatively begin 2022 • Estimated total cost estimate: $87,000,000 (2022 $) 16 Looking West (toward PDX)

23 82nd Avenue Plan (PBOT)
• Support the transformation of 82nd Ave into a Civic Corridor • Includes safety, access and transit improvements along 82nd Ave • Includes changes to PBOT's current right-of-way dedication requirements during property redevelopment to provide wider sidewalk corridors. 24 82nd Avenue Safety and Access Needs

29 82nd Avenue Safety Investments
Investments to improve safety and access, including: • Sidewalk infill and repair • Additional enhanced crossings (beyond those currently funded) for pedestrians and bicycles • Signal changes to reduce conflicts • Enhancements to parallel and intersecting neighborhood greenway routes • Increased lighting, including pedestrian scale lighting • Curb extensions, medians, access management, traffic separators and speed management
30 North of 82nd Avenue Market Plan: Recommendations (City of Portland)
31 Safety Needs: Clackamas County
32 Safety Needs: Clackamas County
• Sidewalk widening and infill • Pedestrian crossings • Consistent bicycle facilities • Lighting • Access management • Intersection reconfigurations for safety 33 1 of 3 Pedestrian Crossing Treatments
• Rectangular rapid-flash beacon (RRFB)
34 2 of 3 Pedestrian Crossing Treatments
• Pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB)
35 3 of 3 Pedestrian Crossing Treatments
• Half-signal or midblock signal
36 Enhanced Transit Corridor
• Queue bypasses or business access transit (BAT) lanes • Stop amenity improvements • Transit signal priority • Fleet upgrades 37 38 39 40 Enhanced Transit Improvements
• Potential for: • Business access transit (BAT) lane conversion- full lane • Targeted BAT lanes • Considerations: • Highest ridership of any TriMet bus line • 5 locations are responsible for 24% of delay • Moderate to high traffic volumes (25-30K vehicles/day) 41 1 of 3 82nd Avenue (Southern Portion) (Highway 224 to Foster Road)

48 Key Questions and Considerations
How do you feel about the Measure potentially funding: • the Airport Way interchange? • Multi-modal planning study north of Killingsworth? • 82nd Ave/Jonesmore MAX station elevator • Systemic safety improvements? • “State of good repair” or general roadway and stormwater upgrades? • Enhanced transit improvements:
• BAT lane spot treatments or full lane conversion?49 #getmoving2020 getmoving2020.org
