Closing Statement(8:55 pm—9:00 pm) John Turchi, City Councilor and Citizen Advisory Committee Chair DKS Associates TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS Memorandum To: Lake Oswego Foothills District TAC Members From: Carl Springer Date: June 6, 2005 Subject: Transportation Performance Findings P/A No. 04199-000 DKS Associates evaluated the transportation system impacts associated with the proposed Foothills District Plan concept plans, and we report our findings to date in the following memorandum. Background The concept plans evaluated through this study provide general guidance about potential circulation and service capabilities for the Foothills District in Lake Oswego. The general study area spans from McVey Street to Terwilliger Boulevard along State Street, also designated as OR 43 (see Figure 1 for details). Additional steps in the planning process are required beyond this study to implement necessary zoning and comprehensive plan changes to support these types of development. Once those steps are completed, any specific development applications would be required by city ordinance to re-evaluate its ability to safely and efficiently serve its own transportation needs without adversely impacting the city street system. The development applications may well have a different mix of land uses and buildings than the combinations evaluated in this study. Therefore, the findings in this document provide a preliminary indication of the suitability of this site for potential new development only, and any recommended improvements or outstanding issues will need to be reviewed, as appropriate, as specific development applications are made. Potential Traffic Added by Foothills Concept Plans Three alternative forms of the site were developed through the planning process. The assumed number of housing units,commercial and office space were evaluated to estimate the expected peak hour trip generation for each alternative. The trip rates were based on the standard Institute of Transportation Engineers published information, with an additional factor to account for the expected higher transit usage for this central site. Because of the DKS 25 YEARS 14GJ S.fd. avenue Suite 500 Portland,OR 97201-5502 (503)243-3500 (503)243-1934 fax www rlkcacsnriatec rnm r2 T DKS Associates TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS proximity to several fixed bus routes and a planned streetcar service, the standard trip rates were reduced by 10 percent during commute hours. The resulting trip tallies for each scenario are summarized in Table 1 below. The total number of one-way vehicle trips(in and out of the site) ranged from 376 for Alternative 3 up to 602 for Alternative 1. There will be additional walking, biking and transit trips associated with each alternative, but these are not reflected in the values in Table 1, which are limited to automobile,trucks and motorcycle trips. Table 1: Foothills District Trips (PM Peak Hour) 45)7<i Alternative Total Number of Vehicle Trip Ends / 4:tr)44i, 1 602 I io 1-4, SL', 2 576 1,tu.D 161 ' 3 376 }r,-u i�•�`°- s'> Note that the existing traffic generated by the built land uses within the Foothills District boundaries, typically light industrial and warehouse businesses, will be replaced by these new development, assuming the plan implementation proceeds. Technically, the trips associated with the existing development would be deducted from the new trip tallies shown in Table 1 to show the net trip increase, but, for the purpose of this study, they were not, to provide a more conservative estimate of future traffic impacts. The trip patterns to and from the Foothills site were developed using the Metro travel demand model information, which accounts for trip patterns throughout the region. The Foothills site was isolated during the peak hour of travel, and the resulting patterns showed the distribution in Table 2 and illustrated in Figure 2. The majority of site traffic is expected to travel to and from the west via"A" Avenue (38%) , the next highest proportion of trips would be to and from the north on State Street(22%), and the remainder of the site traffic would have origins or destinations south on State Street(20%) or on McVey Avenue (15%). Approximately 5%of the site trips were expected to start or end within the immediate study area during the peak hours of travel. Table 2: Foothills District Trip Distribution (PM Peak Hour) Origin/Destination Percentage of Site Trips West on A Avenue 38% North on State Street(OR 43) 22% South on State Street past McVey 20% West on McVey Avenue 15% Local 5% Total 100% Lake Oswego Foothills Concept Plan 2 June 6, 2005 DKS Associates I RANSFORTAT ION SOLUTIONS Traffic Volume Forecasts Traffic volume forecasts were made for 2025 horizon year to account for planned growth around the region, and how traffic volumes are expected to change within the study area, which includes all the major intersections on State Street between McVey Avenue and Terwilliger Boulevard. The Metro regional travel demand model was used for this purpose. The model forecasts includes all planned jobs and housing growth within Lake Oswego and all of the other communities inside the Metro planning area. It was discovered during the forecast process that the employment growth assumed for downtown Lake Oswego has changed significantly since the 2020 forecasts, completed five years ago. An additional 2,600 non-retail employees were targeted for the Foothills site itself, when this site was being considered as a potential high density employment center. By way of comparison,this high employment center trip generation would be three to five times greater than the alternatives now under development through this planning process. Another significant issue noted in the forecasts was the assumption that the Stafford Triangle area has very substantial assumptions in jobs and housing (up to 8,000 new residential units), even though the Clackamas County Comprehensive Plan does not yet include higher urban development densities in this area. For the purposes of this study, the previous plans for high density employment within the Foothills District were adjusted to match with the current plan alternatives. However,no adjustment was made for the Stafford area. The 2025 volume forecasts along State Street were compared with recent peak hour counts, as summarized below, and illustrated in Figure 3. Table 3: State Street Traffic Volumes (PM Peak Hour Two-Way Total) State Street 2005 2025 Without 2025 With Percent Growth Percent Growth South of Foothills Foothills 2005 to 2025 Associated with Project Alt. 1 Foothills Terwilliger 2,750 , 3,620 3,740 37% 12% "A"Avenue 3,380 4,700 4,900 50% 13% North Shore 3,220 4,470 4,650 47% 13% McVey 2,260 2,970 3,060 35% 11% The 2025 future No Build(without the Foothills Project alternatives) shows major traffic volume increases on State Street, ranging from 35 to 50% over 20 years. The most trip intensive Foothills Plan(Alt. 1)will contribute 11 to 13%of the total growth from 2005 to 2025. The majority of the growth,over 85%, will be created from background development other than in the Foothills area, including the Stafford Basin area noted previously. Lake Oswego Foothills Concept Plan 3 June 6, 2005 DKS Associates TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS Mate Street Performance � With the growth from background development alongState Street, several majorg P intersections will approach or exceed their capacity during peak commute hours without �'� local or system improvements to serve the increased demand. Existing through volumes on vcAeState Street are forecasted to grow to such an extent that side street traffic would routinely not be able to clear on a single traffic cycle, because so much of the signal time will used up by through traffic.As shown in Table 4, the 2025 conditions during the PM peak hour will experienc eavy congestion at"A" Avenue,North Shore and Middle Crest. Other i ions are approaching capacity, but could likely be mitigated to minimum -� acceptable levels. For example, State/Foothills varies for 1.02 to 0.99 with the three 125(-1 alternatives, which is essentially at the current planned capacity; however, the 20-year planning target allows for growth up to 1.10 for this location. Each of the Foothills District plan alternatives have similar impacts at all study locations. The least impacts, in a relative sense, are shown for Alternative 3, which has the lowest site trip generation. The last column on Table 4 shows the minimum performance target at each location as specified by ODOT in the Oregon Highway Plan. Within the Town Center area, Terwilliger to North Shore,the maximum volume-to-capacity ratio target is 1.10 for 20- year planning purposes. South of that point, the maximum target drops to 1.00. The three intersections at State/"A"Avenue, State/North Shore, and State/Middle Crest will exceed the target in all cases. Further study will be required to develop potential solutions at these locations. Potential Solutions for State Street The long-term needs for the State Street corridor should be addressed by the City and ODOT to develop solutions that could better meet with ODOT's mobility standards and the City's goals for the Downtown Area. The menu of possible strategies could include: • Higher transit services, especially those with dedicated right-of-way—Providing a street car or other off-highway transit solution will give travelers a more time competitive option over driving or conventional bus service, which both use the same limited highway facilities. • Enhanced north-south capacity—If the future growth in travel demand is to be met, then additional north-south capacity will be needed. For this section of State Street, one possible option would be to consider reversible lanes between"A" Avenue and McVey Street. • Traffic signal coordination— As the Foothills area develops, and other downtown block re-develop, their could be need for modified timing schemes to improve traffic signal efficiency. • Enhance Other Regional Routes—Implement improvement to major regional routes that parallel State Street(OR 43), including Interstate 5. Lake Oswego Foothills Concept Plan 4 June 6, 2005 DKS Associates TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS • Reduce Peak Hour Travel Demand—The other approach to corridor management would focus on managing travel demand, which could include park-and-ride lots, downtown parking pricing and higher frequency bus service. • Regional Planning Coordination —A significant share of the forecasted through traffic growth is generated from land development outside of the city limits. The city should continue to work with Metro and Clackamas County to appropriately plan areas such as the Stafford Basin so that their impacts do not adversely impact the downtown of this community. Site Circulation Issues The proposed new street connections to State Street include a potential new connection at "D" Street (Alt. 1) or at Terwilliger Boulevard(Alt. 2 and 3). The 2025 analysis shows that either location would operate within the ODOT range of acceptable performance with a traffic signal installed. If the"D" Street location,there could be opportunity for traffic intrusion into the neighborhood to west. This should be monitored, and corrective traffic management measures applied as the need arises. In addition,there are physical challenges with both the"D" Street and Terwilliger Boulevard locations in terms of being able to construct an east approach leg to State Street, and these are discussed in detail in the Foothill District Concept Plan report. Summary of Findings 1. Relative to the former employment center plans for downtown,the Foothills District alternatives generate less traffic and have less impacts on the system. 2. The Foothills alternative plans have very similar impacts relative to each other. 3. Either the"D" Street or Terwilliger Boulevard connection will operate adequately during peak hours with new street connection from Foothills. 4. Several key locations(State/A, State/North Shore) are expected to have severe congestion with other potential growth, and alternate solutions need to be considered by the city. x-drive:prajects:1004:p04199-000(lo foothills district):deliverables:task S:simmmary men of!.doc Lake Oswego Foothills Concept Plan 5 June 6, 2005 Lake Oswego Foothills District Plan Table 4: Summary of Traffic Performance Findings 2004 Existing PM 2025 Moderate 2025+ Foothills 2025+ Foothills 2025+ Foothills ODOT Peak Conditions Employment Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3 Performance Target State Street Level of Level of Level of Level of Level of Intersection with V/C Ratio Service V/C Ratio Service V/C Ratio Service V/C Ratio Service V/C Ratio Service V/C Ratio McVey 0.78 B 0.98 D 0.98 D 0.98 D 0.96 D 1.00 Middle Crest 0.76 A 1.14 F 1.12 E 1.12 E 1.11 E 1.00 Leonard -- F/B -- F/C F/C -- F/C -- F/C 1.00 N.

Leave it industrial? Imagine what it could be. • Why not lower and cap the railroad? • Development must be valuable to pay for all the good possibilities in the district. • There have been discussions with freight railroad about service and track alignment. • Structured parking doesn't provide transit parking. • Willamette Steps need good pedestrian crossing to access them. • FD open space should not compete with MP. • How will you deal with the floodplain? o What would be the cost of development? • Open space in Foothills should be "softer" and green in contrast to MP. • Make good bike connections. Foothills Open House Page 1 June 6,2005 • Like Terwilliger access and roundabout streets. • Is Tax Increment Financing a certainty? NO • Mixed-use good strategy. • 10-story development is not a"village". • Need to know how transit center works/fits in. • Need to know feasibility of project before visioning. • Keep Lake Oswego character- -Not 10-stories. • Need a traffic control plan for Scenario 1 to prevent cut-through traffic. • Couplet; How many lanes in each direction and what is the configuration? (Couplet is 2-3 lanes each direction.) • Have any plans considered looking at keeping the existing street pattern? It appears that it would be more economical. • Scenario #1, is it correct to say views are only preserved if you are standing at the end of street? (yes) • Did we consider trying to reinforce State St. by adding buildings that face State and bridging the railroad tracks? • Does structured parking support the transit center? Does it pencil out? • How do you cross over Highway 43 from the Willamette Steps to downtown and where do they park to be able to do it? • If the area were developed with more focus on alternative transit modes....could that 10%modal split be increased? For instance, south waterfront started with a 30% modal split. • Will there be bicycle access to the trail system in Foothills? How do you get to it from downtown? • Does the entrance at Terwilliger depend on the waste water treatment plant moving? (no) • How much more city services would be required to serve the foothills development? • I like the Terwilliger access to Foothills, it does not require going"through" downtown. • Where would the transit center be located and where will people park to use it? • What questions need to be answered before a"plan" is developed? (finance, land use, transportation, etc.) How does that information build towards future decisions? • Are we considering the feasibility of moving the waste water treatment plant? • I don't support any cut-through traffic through the First Addition neighborhood. • How can we redirect truck traffic through the downtown area? Some traffic issues could be addressed through an enhanced public transit system. • Has there been any analysis to determine what density is financially feasible? Foothills Open House Page 2 June 6,2005 Ito . • Notes from comment sheet submitted by attendees: Sheet#1: • I do not like the Hwy 43 going in connection to Foothills. I realize that traffic is a problem, but I would ask you to reconsider a road in the Foothills area for traffic going north on State Street. • Scenario #3 on residential units is favorable and tax revenue. A village square is favorable. This community can be very spacious—so many people can use in a more relaxed area. • Scenario #2, to move the treatment plant would open up a lot of space for possible condominiums and tax revenue. If we could get a Max out here, we could get persons from outside our area here. Traffic/transportation potential problems. If we gave incentives to Max riders we could reduce traffic. I liked the idea about a civic center/conference facility and play areas with tennis, etc. • Other elements to consider: o Have you considered mass transit to help with the traffic? o Have you considered 2-level road like the I-5 freeway in Seattle? One- way roadways? o We need to look at 20-30 years from now traffic will be tripled • What should the public process be in the future/how do you want to be involved? o Open house like tonights was fine. Please notify by mail,paper, etc. Sheet#2: • Please take out the fountain, etc. between 1st and State on "A"Ave. It creates a terrible barrier to traffic flowing on"A"Ave to State St. It doesn't work—its pretty, but...

Foothill Area Goals • Preserve existing neighborhoods while strategically building out a new neighborhood • A neighborhood that works with streetcar but is not dependent on streetcar for success. • Provide housing opportunities for people starting out, people wanting a smaller home, people wanting to live and work in Lake Oswego • Provide housing for families and singles, including older residents • Provide housing for employees of OHSU and downtown Portland • Provide a living environment with access to shopping, recreational paths, arts and entertainment and parks without having to get in the car. • Reconnect our citizens to the waterfront of the River • Provide more customers for downtown retailers - enhancing small business opportunities in our downtown • Preserve views across the river and of Mt. Hood. • Re-establish Tryon Creek habitat • Provide demonstration projects of sustainability • Capture the opportunity that the removal of the BES plan would provide for housing and recreational opportunities. • Provide a marina for recreational boaters on Willamette River to access downtown and Foothills Park shopping and events. Imagine...Its 2015 and you are a first time home buyer or retiree in the Foothills area. You have chosen a 6th floor condominium with a deck overlooking not only a green roof, but also the hills on the eastside of the Willamette River. On the north and west, you overlook the greenery of Tryon Creek State Park, a 600-acre natural area. You know you will be able to enjoy these sights into the future since they have been protected through a thoughtful view corridor protection plan. Your daily walk starts right outside your door, with a greenstreet leading to the riverfront pathway, which can take you north and west through Tryon Creek Park to view the spring Trillium or south along the Willamette River pathway and its beautiful sculptures, to Old River Road and beyond, if you so choose. You have easy access to downtown Lake Oswego for everyday shopping needs and all of downtown Portland via streetcar. Walking to the Farmers Market on Saturdays, you pass planters, medians and flower baskets bursting with color—and more sculpture as you make your way to Millennium Plaza Park.

Imagine ...Taking a shuttle to a streetcar station in downtown Lake Oswego. Every 12- 15 minutes a modern streamlined vehicle will quietly make its way to the station and you are able to avoid the rush hour traffic in the morning and evening to get to your job. Or you are able to park downtown with easy access to medical appointments at OHSU or Good Sam or shopping in downtown Portland or NW 23rd. Avoiding traffic will be the name of the game on this convenient and exciting alternative to driving. Residents of the John's Landing and South Waterfront neighborhoods in Portland and Dunthorpe will have easy and convenient access to Lake Oswego shopping and events, such as Farmers' Market. Also imagine being able to take a recreational bike ride from Lake Oswego to Portland or West Linn along the completed bike path with your grandkids, kids or commuting to work. This will be possible since the bike path will be built for people of all ages to connect to the river and downtown Portland at the same time the streetcar is built. Reasons for Examining Transit Alternatives • Connect to existing and growing region (from Lake Oswego to NW 23`d through downtown) • Connect to growing OHSU campus in South Waterfront • Provide travel choice to congestion on Highway 43. • Reduce vehicle travel through Lake Oswego. • Enjoy the beautiful green space between Lake Oswego and Portland • Increase access the Portland market for small businesses • Complete the last remaining link in bicycle recreation trail network along the Willamette River from the Broadway Bridge in Portland to the Oregon City Bridge. • Use the ROW we preserved in 1987 with a $2M investment that is now worth $50M. • Relieve congestion on Hwy 43 with • Large investments have been made over the past 50 years in one mode of transportation — auto. If other options are provided that are convenient and efficient, and land use that is supportive of using those options is provided, congestion will be lessened. • All metro-area cities, including Lake Oswego, have participated in the Metro 2040 Plan that envisions regional and town centers with a concentration of jobs and housing. For this land use configuration to work, transportation options that provide regional transit connections as well as local circulation are to be planned in tandem to reduce congestion, save land and allow for additional greenspace. • Viable transit options will better meet mobility needs of younger and older citizens. • Lake Oswego's Transportation Plan calls for preservation of the Willamette Shoreline Rail right-of-way in order to provide future high-capacity transit, as does the Regional Transportation Plan. • The population is aging and many resident have expressed a desire to "age in place" within the community. Transit options make this opportunity more feasible. • Lake Oswegans have approved regional transit funding measures in the past by wide margins. • Enhanced transit will enable existing public assets, such as Hwy 43/State Street and the Willamette Shoreline, to be used more efficiently by carrying more person-trips. • Permanent transit facilities, such as light rail, streetcar and high-level bus rapid transit, by nature of their permanence, encourage development. When a property owner knows that transit infrastructure will be there for decades to come and connects to jobs, housing and key destinations, investment is sure to follow. • Current and growing use of fossil fuels challenges sustainability goals. The price of oil is rising. Dedicating more land for auto related uses, such as roads, has many impacts including pollution, sprawl and congestion. • Transit provides additional ways for shoppers to access downtown businesses in a convenient manner.
