This provides the opportunity for the group to meet on July 7, 1999, to review and if necessary, refine its recommendations. Also, this is a chance for the Task Force to discuss how it wishes to present its report to the City Council. At the April 21, 1999 meeting the Task Force approved changes to the, "Findings, Design and Management Solutions to Guide Improvements to Old River Road and Glenmorrie Drive." Per direction received at the June 2, 1999 meeting this document(Attachment "A) and the proposed schematic design for"Old River Road Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Improvements"(Attachment"B") form the core of the Task Force's prospective recommendations to City Council. The Task Force stressed, at the April,May and June meetings, the need to also address the need to have speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive. With the Task Force's permission, I recommend the following be added to the "Findings Design and Management Solutions." • Install speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive where possible. This is important because once traffic is slowed on Old River it should also be slowed on Glenmorrie Drive. The tendency of some drivers would be to increase speed on Glenmorrie Drive if they have been forced to drive slowly on Old River Road. This would create an unsafe condition, • The proposed Traffic Management Devices must be tested thoroughly. A phased and judicious approach is needed to ensure implementation of the project is successful. There is not the need to do the whole project at once, but to do those things that will Y1 1 most improve the safety and comfort of recreational users, drivers and residents who live along the road. These concepts have been shown in bold in Attachment"A". Please find attached the following meeting minutes for April 21, 1999 (revised and approved), May 5, 1999 (approved) and June 2, 1999 (draft). I have enjoyed working with all of you through this process and look forward to your help in developing the final report to Council. Thank you! Copy: Doug Schmitz, City Manager Tom Coffee, Assistant City Manager File orrm78 1 ATTACHMENT "A" OLD RIVER ROAD AD-HOC TASK FORCE FINDINGS, DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS TO GUIDE IMPROVMENTS TO OLD RIVER ROAD AND GLENMORRIE DRIVE CATEGORY 1: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY FINDING (S): 1. There is the potential for significant and dangerous conflicts between automobiles, pedestrians and recreational users of Old River Road. 2. Because of physical constraints, including width of pavement, location of driveways, proximity to steep banks and the presence of significant trees, a pedestrian pathway is not, at this time appropriate for Glenmorrie Drive. 3. Once traffic is slowed on Old River by traffic management measures, it should continued to be slowed on Glenmorrie Drive. The tendency of drivers would be to increase speed on Glenmorrie Drive if they have been forced to drive slowly on Old River Road. DESIGN SOLUTIONS: 4. Install 12 traffic management devices, (seven speed bumps and five pinch points) along the 4,800 feet of Old River Road from its intersection with Glenmorrie Drive to the West Linn city limits to ensure vehicle speeds are maintained at 25 M.P.H. or less on all parts of the road. Traffic management devices should be tested prior to installation. 5. Install speed bumps where possible on Glenmorrie Drive. 6. Separate vehicular and pedestrian/bike traffic at the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive, Old River Road and the George Rogers Park trail. 7. Install monument type entry signs at the Lake Oswego/West Linn City limits to inform people that they are entering a recreational area. 8. The amount of new asphalt should be minimized. A walking pathway is appropriate only on some sections of the road—one the east side along the Sisters of the Holy Names and the Marylhurst University property. The walker should have an opportunity to move out of the traffic lane when necessary along the remaining portions of the road. This can be accommodated on a three-foot wide gravel shoulder also on the east side. If it is necessary for pedestrians to cross the road, then the crossing should occur at pinch points on an elevated "pedestrian table." 9. Pavement management (overlays) and drainage improvements are required in conjunction with installation of traffic management devices and other improvements to address pedestrian safety. 10. Tree preservation is essential and where possible, native landscaping particularly, tree planting should occur within the right-of-way and be sensitive to the views of area residents and walkers. 11. Fix damaged and deteriorated guard rails and replace where possible with more aesthetic barriers consistent with the natural character of the area. MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Old River Road and its right-of-way should be designated as recreational resource, such as a linear walking park and managed to ensure the safety of recreational users and the quality of life of area residents. 2. A law/regulation enforcement effort and ongoing public safety education effort should be developed and implemented germane to the road and the types of uses it receives, especially if it is designated as a recreational resource (linear park). 3. The proposed Traffic Management Devices must be tested thoroughly. A phased and judicious approach is needed to ensure implementation of the project is successful. There is not the need to do the whole project at once, but to do those things that will most improve the safety and comfort of recreational users, drivers and residents who live along the road. CATEGORY 2: ENVIRONMENT AND AESTHETICS FINDING(S) 1. Glenmorrie Drive and especially Old River Road and their right-of-ways exist within a complex and highly regulated natural environment, which includes the Willamette River Greenway. 2. Aesthetics and environmental quality are very important to those who live along these roads and to all other users. DESIGN SOLUTIONS 1 . Maintain the "country lane quality/rural street quality of the road by ensuring that the amount of new hard surface (asphalt) for pathways is the minimum necessary to address the above conflicts between automobiles and other users. Minimize the use of paint and signage. 2. Improve the appearance of the sewer pump station at the intersection of Glenmorrie and Old River Road. MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Ensure that all future improvements are designed consistent with the City's public improvement design guidelines and with all applicable City, state and federal regulations. 2. Work with all property owners, especially the major landholders, Sisters of the Holy Names and Marylhurst University to enhance the natural resources of the Willamette River Greenway and protect native plants and wildlife. 3. Enforce the Municipal Code relating to the storage or vehicles, boats and equipment and other items within the public right-of-way. 4. Educate the public regarding living and recreating within the Willamette River Greenway. CATEGORY 3 - RECREATION AND SCENIC QUALITY FINDING(S) 1 . Provide a park-like experience for walkers with special concern given to residents/property owners' concerns about congregation and security. 2. The use of Old River Road changes character during different times of the day. During weekday a.m. and p.m. travel peak it is a potential hazard for pedestrians. During low traffic times it is a pleasant walking experience. 3. Parts of the right-of-way are also people's yards. Some landscape encroachments have occurred. DESIGN SOLUTIONS: 1. Design all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. 2. Future maintenance and improvements to Old River and Glenmorrie Drive should seek to minimize disturbance of established yards and landscaping. 3. Do not install streetlights or other lighting along Old River Road. q MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Many of the same policy and management measures that are applicable to the above categories are also applicable to Category 3. CATEGORY 4 - SECURITY FINDINGS 1. The ability to park on the road's shoulders poses security problems, because of drinking parties and a few burglaries. This situation also results in littering and destruction of natural resources because of fires and trampling. 2. In particular, car access to the wide spot at the Glenmorrie/Old River Road intersection, along the Sisters of the Holy Names property and at the West Linn City limits are problems. 3. The presence of a large older population at the future Mary's Woods project (Sisters of the Holy Names)poses special security issues/concerns. DESIGN SOLUTIONS: 1. Install aesthetic barriers to prevent parking along the road's shoulder in those locations identified to be problems. 2. Judiciously utilize signage that is aesthetic and creative that states laws are enforced pertaining to trespass, blocking driveways,dumping garbage, etc. 3. As above, design all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Involve the neighborhoods in an active program to promote driving safety and to report any unauthorized access to private property. 2. Enforce the law at every opportunity to address security issues such as trespass. File Orrm78 MINUTES I)* OLD RIVER ROAD AD-HOC TASK FORCE June 2 1999 -- 6:30 -8:30 p.m. 4frp Lake Oswego City Hall Council Chambers Members Present: Sister Eileen Brown, Co-Chair, Stan Aschenbrenner, Judy Dauble, Duane Funk, Paula Diamond (for Kelly Atwood) Staff Present: Ron Bunch, Long Range Planning Manager;David Aushserman, Fregonese Calthorpe &Associates; Others Present: Dick Porn, Pricilla Panichello, Gloria Handy, David Bartz, and Bud Dawell Sister Eileen opened the meeting at 6:30 p.m. Ten minutes was taken to review and comment on the revision to the April 21, 1999 minutes and the draft May 5, 1999 minutes. The minutes were approved. Sister Eileen stated the primary purpose of the meeting is to review the design concept, which has been developed in response to the Committee's, and the public's input. David Ausherman presented the design concept for Old River Road, which has evolved over the last several meetings. The following summarizes his presentation. As previously discussed there is a need to separate the pedestrian bicyclist from the intersection of the George Rogers Park pathway, Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road, This is a important safety issue. Therefore, it is proposed to bring the pathway behind the guardrail, on the riverside and connect it up to the road past the pump station. The pump station would be screened and landscaped. Service vehicles could access the pump station via a gate. The opportunity for public parking in the vicinity of the pump station would be eliminated by the installation of natural (or natural appearing) barricades, such as boulders. This design treatment (natural barriers) would be applied all along the road to address residents and property owners concerns with security (illegal parking and trespass). There was discussion about how well stop signs would work at the intersection of Glenmorrie and Old River Road. David relayed that the City Engineer said that drivers would likely ignore the stop signs. There was discussion that this situation would perhaps give the pedestrians a false sense of security. It was decided that with the separation of the pathway from the road, it would be better not to install the stop signs. A wait and see approach would be more appropriate It was expressed that the final plans and recommendation to go to Council needs to reflect the direction of the committee to put speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive. As stated previously,this is important because once traffic is slowed on Old River it should continued to be slowed on Glenmorrie Drive. The tendency of drivers would be to increase speed on Glenmorrie Drive if they have been forced to drive slow on Old River Road. A really critical safety point is the sharp curve mid-way on Glenmorrie. 119. Beginning at the south end of the project(West Linn city limits), the existing off-road pathway would be extended and enter the project area at a pinch-point. The pinch point would allow the road to be shifted west, construct a pathway and still preserve significant trees. Along the length of the Sisters of the Holy Names and Marylhurst University properties, the road is proposed be adjusted westward in several locations to make room for a pathway on the east side. Pinch points are valuable tools because in several areas they serve both as traffic management devices and to allow room for the pathway where the terrain would be otherwise too steep. The pinch points would be about as long as two car lengths. Within this area the pavement is very narrow. In some areas the width is less than 15 feet. A very small amount of new travel surface is proposed—two -three feet to make the pavement as wide as it is adjacent to the Glenmorrie portion of the project. Speed bumps would be used in conjunction with the pinch points in ensure that traffic on the road would travel at 25 m.p.h. There would be 12 of these traffic management devices (speed bumps and pinch points), spaced about 400 feet apart along the length of the road. It was stressed again that pinch-point are proven traffic management devices. David stated in some areas, such as across from the Handy's (Gloria's) property, it might be necessary to construct a retaining wall or other engineered solution to provide for the width necessary to provide for the step off. A pinch point would not work in this situation because of the location of the driveway. Gloria raised issues with the need to do an extensive engineered solution at this location. She said that the objective would be to do the minimum amount of improvements necessary. After considerable discussion it was determined that it was possible provide for adequate room for pedestrians by perhaps marking the pavement with paint. David said that he would visit the site with Gloria and discuss potential solutions. At the end of the Sister's of the Holy Names property, where the Glenmorrie Neighborhood begins, the five to six foot wide off-road trail would transition to a three foot wide graveled shoulder. The graveled shoulder would provide for the ability of the pedestrian to step off the road and out of the way of traffic. The committee members and some members of the public each commented on the proposal. Gloria Bence raised issues regarding the need for the three-foot wide, compacted graveled shoulder. She indicated that walkers step off the road anyway to avoid cars. The questions were asked, "Once the traffic is slowed down, is there a need for any widening? Would the wideneing promote parking along the street, which is what the Task Force wishes to avoid? Why couldn't the widening be one foot instead of three feet? "Won' t the widening encourage persons to drive onto the shoulder? Won't walkers and runners use the road anyway?During discussion the Task Force determined that the three-foot 2 "soft shoulder" was a reasonable to allow persons to step off the road, especially those walking with small children and those, such as older adults who did not feel comfortable walking in the travel lanes. Further, it should be three feet because a person who takes refuge from traffic should be able to get all of their body's width comfortably out of the travel lane. The committee determined that the shoulder would not be wide enough to encourage the type of parking that concern had been expressed about. The concern had been with those who party at night and trespass onto private land. Cars that did park would intrude into the right-of-way and would be parked illegally and could be cited and towed. In some areas, a judiciously placed boulders would prevent encroachment onto private property. Sister Eileen said that pedestrian safety is important along the entire length of the road. This is important since a large number of future residents of Mary's Woods will likely walk the distance from Mary's Woods to George Rogers Park and perhaps beyond. These persons will be elderly and it is important to have an appropriate transition from the developed pathway, which has been required as a condition of development approval of Mary's Woods. It would not be safe to have a fully developed six-foot path immediately stop, and expect persons to walk on the travel surface of the road. Therefore, a place where pedestrians can get off the road is important. There is and will be more so a mix of people using the road and it is necessary to provide for a range of physical capabilities. With a three-foot shoulder, there would certainly be people using the road such as runners, but there is the need to provide for those who don't want to do so, or feel they don't have the capabilities to do so. Paula Diamond raised the issue of the need to provide for the multi-use function of the road and whether, the three foot shoulder really addressed the need for safety of all the types of walkers that would use the road. She asked that wouldn't a pathway be more appropriate? It seemed to her to not represent an appropriate/transition or continuation of the pathway that is proposed to be developed within the south portion of the project. Dick Porn stated that, from his perspective, improvements along the entire length of the road should reflect the need to accommodate the need all users, especially the elderly that will using the road for recreation. There was discussion about the requirements, to accommodate the other range of needs expressed by the committee and the public, such as minimizing the impact on the neighborhood and the appearance of Old River Road and its surroundings; to evaluate the traffic calming impacts of the traffic management devices before committing to a pathway and, to address the concerns of Glenmorrie residents who feel a six foot wide paved pathway is not appropriate. Judy Dauble stated that the design was responsive to the direction of the committee and there was a lot to like about it. She said that it was important for the speed bumps referenced above to be installed on Glenmorrie Drive. She said that she liked the approach that the road's travel width would not be widened beyond what is along the 3 1 private property portion of the project. She emphasized the need to test the traffic management measures and evaluate impacts. There was discussion about testing, evaluation and phasing of implementation. The Task Force vigorously stressed the need to test thoroughly the proposed traffic management devices and to take a judicious approach to implementation. There is not the need to do the whole project at once, but to do initially those things that will most improve the safety and comfort of recreational users, drivers, and residents. It was expressed that phasing is essential for success. It was stressed that with the conclusion of the Task Force's charge, the City continue to involve the residents and users in the testing, evaluation and implementation phases. Judy asked staff if to explain how the project would be phased or implemented. Staff stated that the testing phase is very important to initiate this summer. This is because summer is when peak usage of the road occurs,especially since students are out of school for the summer. In addition, it would be important to do testing before the pavement management project is started at the south-end(Marylhurst, Sisters of the Holy Names) portion of the project. After discussion the following phases where identified. I. Summer, 1999: Traffic Management Testing II. Fall, 1999: Installation of Tested and Workable Traffic Management Devices in the Areas Outside of the Pavement Management Project Boundaries Including Glenmorrie Drive. III. Summer, 2000: Pavement Management Project on South Portion of the Project Area(Sisters of the Holy Names and Marlyhurst University) IV. Summer,2000: Installation of Tested and Workable Traffic Management Devices Within the Southern Portion of the Project. V. Summer, 2001: Construction of Pathway on the Southern Portion of the Project of the Project. This would coincide with the appropriate Development Phase of Mary's Woods. There was discussion as to when the shoulder improvements ( 3'wide gravel)would be done on the northern portion of the project. There was discussion that it is logical to do so to coincide with the installation of the traffic management devices. Judy Dauble stressed that other parts of the program need to be implemented as well, including public information, installation of barriers to prevent trespass and the restoration of natural areas along the river. She stated that the Willamette River Greenway values need to be observed. She stressed that it is very important that improvements be done in a way not to intrude onto private property and be designed and 4 1fs implemented in a"low-key"manner. Especially important is the use of natural materials for barriers to prevent unauthorized parking, minimal signage and minimal use of paint. Judy said that she like the design because it did not widen the paved travel width of the road beyond what it is along the residential portion of the project area. Minimizing the amount of asphalt is important. Duane Funk and Stan Ashenbrenner during subsequent discussion concurred with Judy that the design reflected the direction and discussion of the Task Force and that it represented a good compromise. There was also discussion as to how to fund the Marylhurst University portion of the pathway project. It was mentioned that even though the University was proposing some renovation, it might be difficult to develop a"nexus"to apply a condition of development of approval to construct the pathway associated with the level of development being proposed. This was a matter that would have to wait until an application was made by the University for land use approval. There was discussion about several funding possibilities including, SDCs, revenues from the Street Fund, Metro and State Transportation Improvement Funds, Oregon Dept. of Transportation Bicycle and Pedestrian Grants, Oregon Salmon Recovery Program for riverbank restoration,Neighborhood Enhancement Funds, etc. There was discussion about Glenmorrie's submission of a Neighborhood Enhancement Grant for a viewing platform. Judy said that the Neighborhood had not had a full discussion of the idea and wished the City to delay action. They would be in contact with staff. Bud Dawell said that he disagreed with the City's position that it had 60 feet of right-of- way along Old River Road. He said that he would contest the City's use of the right-of- way if need be. Also, he was prepared to legally contest the construction of a viewing platform. He referenced the Willamette Greenway Goal and implementing administrative rules. There was discussion about the upcoming Council presentation. Sister Eileen said that another meeting was necessary in July to go over the presentation and confirm the Task Force's recommendations. Judy Dauble said that the agreed upon, Findings and Design and Management Solutions should be an integral part of the Council Report. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m. Ron Bunch Long Range Planning Manager file: orrmin62.doc 5 I I MINUTES OLD RIVER ROAD TASK FORCE -- MAY 5, 1999 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. - Lake Oswego Human Resources Conference Room Members Present: Sister Eileen Brown, Co-Chair, Mike Anderson, Co-Chair, Michael P. Lammers, David Funk David Dodds (Arrived Late), Judy Dauble, Kelly Atwood, Marcia Robertson, Jamie M. Ellgen, Stan Aschenbrenner Staff: Ron Bunch, Lake Oswego Long Range Planning Manager and David Ausherman, Fregonese, Calthorpe &Associates, Gordon Howard, City of West Linn Others: Gloria Bence, John Panichello, Priscilla Panichello, Jerry Lublink, C.C. Dawell, and David Bartz The meeting was convened at 6:35 p.m. T. Review and Approval of the April 21, 1999 Minutes Judy Dauble stated that she had some minor changes to propose to the April 21, 1999 minutes. On page 4, third bullet. The first sentence statement should read, "If a pathway is provided on the road, it should abut the road. A five to six foot wide paved strip should be provided for walkers to get out of the way of cars." On page 5 the statement under the fourth bullet should read, There should be enforcement, but residents along Old River Road are frustrated with speed enforcement. The r ake Ocweg„ Police Department4,ao been ; of ctivo We can't rely on speed enforcement to slow traffic. Residents don't believe that traffic enforcement has been effective. Judy wished to stress, that she did not want to give the impression that the Police Department is ineffective. The statement behind the seventh bullet-- " needed", should be deleted. On page six, third sentence, The sentence should be changed to read, "The primary asset of Old River Road Woods is its natural setting. With the above changes the minutes of April 21, 1999 were approved. II. Review and Discussion of Proposed Findings and design and policy/management solutions Applicable to Old River Road and Glenmorrie Drive. Mike Anderson, Co-Chair stated that he was unable to be at the last meeting because of work, but he wished to make sure that his concerns as an ad-hoc representative of the entire community were in the record. He wanted to stress that public safety and the needs of the recreational walker be taken into consideration. This is important, especially in light of statements made at the last meeting about not needing a pathway on the road. It seems that the process engaged in by the Task Force has resulted in a set of options that meet everyone's needs, and a pathway all along the road needs serious consideration for the sake of public safety and the recreational walker. - Jamie Ellgen stated that she was fundamentally against a pathway because of Old Town's experience with the City requiring a pathway as part of the new"River Bend" development to connect to Rohr Park. A pathway along Old River Road would encourage walkers and bikers to use Old River Road, George Rogers Park and then come through Old Town to Rohr Park. This would impact Old Town. Safety can be addressed on the road by traffic management devices and providing a place for the pedestrian and bicyclist to step off. Judy Dauble stated that there is a need to accommodate the safety issues but impact as few people as possible. Safety is a vehicular issue and not a pedestrian issue. If the speeds and amount of traffic is dealt with then the road would be safer. It is important to protect the natural resources of the area. Sister Eileen stated that what she had heard was to approach solving the problems on Old River Road as a phased program. Not to do everything all at once, but approach the issues one or two steps at a time and do things as they are needed. A major goal is to manage traffic - to slow it down and make the road safer Judy Dauble stressed that a major issue is to protect the natural environment. Phasing is important -- to do as little as possible until the problem is addressed. Jamie Ellen stated regarding rumble strips,the concern regarding noise and appearance might be addressed with using differences in paving as has been done in Old Town and Waluga Park. The Committee agreed that the attached findings and design and policy/management solutions applicable to Old River Road and Glenmorrie Drive were representative of the Task Force's general recommendation to the City Council. III. Review of Proposed Design Concepts for Old River Road 2 1V7 4 Preceding review of the of the proposed design concepts for Old River Road, there was concern about the speed of the person who delivered papers, early in the morning. In addition, Kelly Atwood stated that an acquaintance of his, which typically speeds on the road, said that he had"talked"his way out of a speeding ticket. Kelly stressed that the City should take a stronger position in enforcing the speed laws on Old River Road. David Ausherman reviewed several different types of speed and traffic management devices, including full and partial speed bumps, rounded speed bumps, pedestrian table and pinch downs. He provided examples of these applications in Denmark, on what the Danes referred to as"quiet and silent"roads. He stated in the example provided that speeds were reduce to the level, 25 mph, desired by the task force and there had been no accidents. He stressed that pedestrian facilities were integral and.noted that all of the examples had pathways, preferably separated from the road. In some instances, where topography did not warrant, the pathway shared the edge of the road. Where the pathway was separated, the width of the road was perceived as narrower. Examples were provided were there was a subtle change in paving between the road and the path. The locations of the proposed pinch points and speed bumps were discussed. David stated that, the pinch points needed to be carefully sited to avoid driveways and provide room (where the group agreed there should be a pathway--the Sisters' property) for a pathway to avoid steep slopes. The width of the road, in the vicinity of the pinch points was discussed. Twelve feet was emphasized as need for a school bus. The Fire Department likes to have two - 12 foot lanes for residential streets. It was stressed that the pinch-points in some places were not going to be very dramatic, since the reality on the road is that in some places it only has a 14 - 15 foot paved width. This often causes vehicles to drive off the pavement to avoid pedestrians and on-coming cars. The way by which the path from George Rogers Park was proposed to be separated from the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road was reviewed again. The need to make the pump station more attractive was also stressed again. Judy Dauble asked how this was going to be done in a way to avoid going on private property -- off of the pavement and the private easement. Staff stated that City had adequate pubic right-of- way to do so and that it was one of the goals of this project to minimize, where possible the use of the right-of-way. Therefore, it was very unlikely that this or any part of the improvements recommended by the Task Force would encroachment onto private property. There was general discussion of the pinch-points and speed bumps and it was agreed that some of these devices could be interchanged. It was stated that the location of the pinch points and driveways should not conflict. The group as a whole felt that traffic management devices (speed bumps) on Glenmorrie Drive were important to support the recommendations being developed for Old River 3 14 Road -- especially to slow traffic to enhance pedestrian safety. It was recognized that some parts of Glenmorrie Drive, from an engineering standpoint were not appropriate, but where they could be used, they should. This is because, there are more cars on Glenmorrie Drive and traffic that once traffic, which has been slowed on Old River Road, hits Glenmorrie, speeds would increased. There was considerable discussion about the proper design of the hairpin curve at the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road. David stated that it would be possible to cut the embankment to provide adequate sight distance. Judy Dauble said that this would be inconsistent with the need to maintain the "country" look and feel of the road and it was important to lessen encroachment on private property Sister Eileen stressed the many commonalties that the Task Force shared. It was important that Old River Road was recognized as a mullet-use road. She stated that the details as to how to address these kinds of issues were important and when the recommendations were implemented, then the community and neighborhood should also be involved in the implementation. There was a general discussion regarding the need to ensure that the corner was safe. A general consensus was arrived at that the hill should not be cut back, that stop signs should be installed and the trail from George Rogers Park definitely needed to be separated from the road. The sharp corner tended to slow traffic down and there was some comment, that the corner could be made shaper to make the driver stop, think and negotiate the corner to reduce speed. Jamie Ellgen stated that it was important that the concepts for traffic management that were discussed be tested as soon as possible. This summer with, with summer traffic on the road would be an ideal time. There was a general agreement that testing of the proposed traffic management devices needs to occur as soon as possible. Staff indicated that they would ask the City manager to do this and get back to the Task Force. Jamie also stressed that the since the road is used so much for recreational walking that a gateway feeling should be stressed. IV. Public Comment, Discussion and Announcements C.C. Dawell's comments are summarized below: • He doubted that the city surveyor had described the right road in his description -- that there were a lot of mistakes in the past. • The issue in this case are property rights and that the City is proposing to use the road for a use that is not allowed by the underlying rights of the adjoining property owners. 4 • Dogs are an issue and a problems in terms of number and sanitation. Safety is not an issue; there have not been any accidents on the road. • The road should be left as it its. • Use of the road for uses as proposed affects the property values of the owners. This is a unique situation and there has no grant of right-of-way to the City. • Stop signs do not work. There are too many stop signs already and in many places stop signs are being taken down because the driver does not pay attention to them. • There has not been an official transfer of the road to the City by the County. • This road as a recreational area conflicts with private property interests. This is an absolutely private area. • Painted lines are inappropriate. Signs are a visual pollution issue and should be minimized. • Mr. Dawell stated that he is taking steps that he could not disclose to address the above private property protection issues. The land underlying the road belongs to the property owners. • He said that he is comfortable with the pinch points. David Bartz, stated that he lives on the corner of Glenmorrie and Old River Road and safety is a big issue with him and his family. He is not so concerned with the private property issue as he is with protecting the safety of his family and others that use the road. Speed is an issue. The road should be managed where traffic has to go 25 m.p.h. The hill forming the curve on Glenmorrie where it intersects with Old River Road below his property should not be smoothed out. It serves to slow down traffic. Also, there are large trees that would come down if the curve were straightened out. The path should stay on the same side of the road -- the east side. It should not cross the road- back and forth. David said that he has concerns about the safety of bus- stops, especially at Lily Lane. Perhaps sign is needed that Children are on the road or that a bus stop is at a particular location. Some effort is needed to ensure the safety of bus stops. One way to do this is to install speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive. He has worked out the location of four where they would be possible from an engineering perspective. Slowing cars down on Glenmorrie Drive would go a long ways to addressing the pedestrian safety issue. 5 I � Rumble strips are noisy and should not be used. Stops signs are a more appropriate solution. Gloria Bence stated that the hillside should not be cut back. Stop signs are needed at the location. Drivers need to slow down. Perhaps the curve needs to be sharper. There needs to be some demarcation where private property is where the path from George Rogers intersects Old River Road. Otherwise people will still trespass to get to the River at this location. The pinch downs need to be carefully sited to avoid conflicts with driveways and it is recommended that speed bumps be across all of the road's width to avoid people trying to drive around them. Testing of these and other traffic management devices needs to occur before actual construction take place. Summer is a good time for this to occur. The phase-in approach of these improvements is a good one, to gauge the impacts of improvements on the safety objectives. Sister Eileen closed the meeting, stating that the group is read to finalize its recommendations and that the above comments will be prepared in a design to be presented at the June 2, 1999 meeting. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m. Ron Bunch Long Range Planning Manager 6 i-1_ MINUTES OLD RIVER ROAD TASK FORCE --WORK SESSION April 21, 1999 -- 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Lake Oswego City Hall-Human Resources Room Revised at the May 5, 1999 Meeting Members Present: Co-Chair, Sister Eileen Brown, Kelly Atwood, Stan Aschenbrenner, NRAB, David Dodds, Robinwood N.A.

This was necessary to begin to formulate a recommendation to the City Council and provide staff definitive direction for the May 5, 1999 meeting. She stated that at the last meeting there were expressed many things in common regarding the pathway. It is important to stress these common themes to be able to proceed in a positive direction. Also, there are some themes of disagreement, which also must be recognized. What she heard at the last meeting are as follows: • Safety for those who use the road is important. However,there was not a consensus regarding the construction of pathway separate from the road. It was expressed by at least two members of the committee that a separate pathway should be eliminated from consideration. It was expressed that other options should be considered such as using the existing 15 - 16 foot wide roadway. In this vein however the Council's charge statement to the task force was to align a pathway. The meaning of"align: was determined (clarified) to not engineer with the location of a pathway. The intent was to the general location of a path such as on the east or west side of the road. • Traffic needs to be managed, especially the speed of cars. This can be accomplished through the use of traffic management devices such as periodic pinch-points and speed bumps. There was not a consensus on the use of rumble strips because of noise. What were shown at the last meeting were 5 pinch-points about 1,000 feet apart with the prospect of using periodic speed bumps in-between. 1 �� • The natural beauty and natural resource characteristics of the area must be protected. Especially important is the need to protect existing vegetation. In this regard, all improvements should be designed consistent with this theme. Well-designed and judicious signage is important. Excessive use of paint should also be avoided. Signage that is used should have specific themes, such as alerting those who use the road of speed limits, and the fact that this is a special recreation and slower speeds are necessary. • Closing the road is not an option,except perhaps for special events. • Drainage improvements (surface water management) are important as is repaving the road (pavement management)within its current width. Sister Eileen, asked the members to present express their views about the what the group has in common and to comment on the proposed design treatments of Old River Road in particular. David Dodds (Alternate for Duane Funk)presented written material (Attachment A) and expressed his fundamental opposition to any pedestrian improvements that would widen the road. He stated that the Task Force was directed to align a pathway, which was opposed by the neighborhood. This is because of the inflexibility of the City of Lake Oswego and its Transportation Plan. The appropriate solution would be to install 10— 12 speed bumps to control traffic, as was done on Old River Road in West Linn and leave the neighborhood alone. He continued that this Committee is example of the City Council's misplaced paternalism. The citizens were being treated like small children. The Task Force was a pathway siting committee, not a group to reach consensus on what's best for the area. He said he drafted portions of the West Linn Transportation Plan. Work that he did would prevent this kind of thing from happening. Written material from the West Linn Transportation Plan was presented (Attachment B). If the Task Force continued to support a pathway and some other parts of the proposal,he doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Further, he had reviewed his submitted material with Duane Funk and he agreed with this position. Sister Eileen asked David if he disagreed with all Task Force's mission, such as to make recommendations regarding traffic management,protecting the environmental quality of the area, improve the quality of the road and so forth, or if his opposition focused on the pathway. He stated his opposition was with the pathway and any action that would widen the road and is inconsistent with the wishes of the neighborhood. Stan Ashenbrenner pointed out that the Council's charge statement stated that the group was to, "undertake a study of issues and conditions which will now and in the future affect the road, and reach a consensus regarding the roads future character." The operative word is"future" and it should not be intended that all of these improvements are necessary now. Recommending a phased approach to apply a range of design solutions is entirely appropriate. Stan had to leave at 6:45 to attend another meeting. 2 �Q Michael Lammers stressed that his area of concern was the frontage of the road along Marylhurst University. He felt that there should be less rather than more done on the road to establish a reasonable comfort/safety of those who use the road. In other words, instead of approaching the project with all of the improvements in place at once, the plan could ratchet, or phase into safety, with initial installation of traffic management of traffic management devices to see what they could do to address traffic concerns. There could a mixing and matching of improvements to address the traffic management(speed) issues over time. Ron Bunch was asked what the fire department feels about speed bumps/traffic management devices. He said that he had talked with the fire department about the they really don't like them for the following reasons: • They slow response times. This is really critical when trying to get to fire or medical emergency. A small delay can have severe consequences; • Speed bumps are hard on the fire department's equipment-- truck axles, drivelines, and frames. • Speed bumps makes it hard to transport injured persons -- especially those with spinal injuries or when the paramedics are in the midst of procedures. They pose a risk. That said, the Department lives with speed bumps and in this circumstance said they would life with the situation if speed bumps and other traffic management devices were installed. The department also stated that, they have concerns with the pinch points because they could also slow response times, especially if a car stalls within one of them. However, in many ways the entire road, because it is so narrow is a one big pinch point. The fire department likes to have a minimum 24-foot wide local residential street and the pavement width on the road ranges from 15 feet to 18 feet. However, there are a lot of narrow residential streets in the area that the department stated that they had to cope with. Kelly Atwood stated that he had reviewed his plan with the Old River Road neighbors and that his group is opposed to pinch points. A place to get off the road is important. The road is narrow in many places and the pedestrian needs to be able to move off the road to let cars go by. Cars can't pass pedestrians or bicyclists because there is a double yellow line. At the very least a margin could be built. • Speed bumps are appropriate. • The double yellow line should be removed so cars can legally go around pedestrians. • Stop signs should be installed at the corner of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road to cause a complete stop. Rumble strips should be installed at this location to warn, remind drivers that a stop sign is coming up. The rumble strips are far enough away 3 from houses so as not to cause noise problems. • The pathway from George Rogers Park should be separated from the Road as was previously proposed. • A pathway is not feasible on Glenmorrie and should be dropped from consideration. It is not realistic. There are cars backing out on the road, and walking on the road on a foggy morning would be a risky proposition. • If a pathway is provided on the road, it should abut the road. A five - six foot wide paved strip should be provided to allow walkers to get out of the way of cars. In regard to separating the path from the road a broad white line would be appropriate. An example is the white line (and bumps) on Iron Mountain. However there should not be a lot of lines. • Pull-off parking should be prevented. Barriers need to be installed to prevent cars from parking. • Enforcement is important. However, education of area residents during the summer could also be effective. For example, when schools are out during the summer and older children come home from college flyers should be distributed to everyone along Old River Road to drive and walk safely. • Twenty-five (25) M.P.H. signs should be posted on both ends of the road. Marsha Robertson stated that drainage needs to be addressed along the road. Bad drainage poses problems for both pedestrians and drivers. There needs to be a designated area for walkers. In some areas it is hard to get out of the way of cars because the road is right next to the riverbank. Traffic control is needed and walkers need to be separated from the corner of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road. Enforcement and public education needs to be emphasized. David Dodds said that a pathway would be very hard to build along the road on the east side. There would be too much ecological disturbance. Besides, it some places, it would have to be so close to the bank that walkers would be in danger. Judy Dauble said that traffic needs to be controlled first before building a pathway. Traffic speed is the issue, not the conflict between pedestrians and automobiles. Speed bumps and pinch points are necessary. A phased treatment of the problem would be the best approach. Do traffic control first and then see if a problem still exists. It is likely that a pathway would not be necessary. Only some sections of the road could possibly accommodate a pathway. She said that the Glenmorrie neighborhood is not in favor of a path. There might be areas where a pedestrian could step off the road, such as an improved shoulder—maybe a couple of feet. She also added. 4 • Pedestrians needed to be protected at the Glenmorrie/Old River Road corner. Barriers that are proposed should be natural in character. • The neighborhood is in favor of natural solutions such as boulders instead of guardrails. • There should be a minimum amount of encroachment on private property. • There should be enforcement, but residents along residents along Old River Road are frustrated with speed enforcement. We can't rely on speed enforcement to slow traffic. Residents don't believe that traffic enforcement has been effective, • The neighborhood wants the road to be just as it is now. It is a natural asset and should not be disturbed by more asphalt. Perhaps the pathway could just as well go down the middle of the road. People walk down the middle of the road now. • Tree preservation should be emphasized over landscaping with native plant materials. Staff explained that there is lot that can be done to rehabilitate portions of the river's edge with native vegetation. There had been a lot of disturbance as evidenced by invasive plant species throughout the area. • The neighborhood is opposed to a pathway on Glenmorrie Drive. • The issue of teen drivers in the summer should be addressed. Sister Eileen stated that the development of Mary's Woods will result in a special clientele using the road. Their concern is the safety and security of this group. In essence this project will introduce more older people to the area. She hears the opposition to pinch points but perhaps a couple could be introduced to the area. In addition phasing in a range of improvements is a good idea—seeing what works first and delaying implementation of other design solutions. • Mary's Woods wishes to retain and enhance the natural setting and have retention/of the area's natural beauty as the core any design solution. • Traffic management (slowing cars down) is important such as speed bumps and pinch points. • Cars must be prevented from parking on the road through the use of barriers. The safety and security of adjacent property owners is essential. • Pedestrians, especially the aged and children, need to have refuge from traffic. Perhaps this can be accomplished through an extension of the street. It must be realized that the aged and children cannot move as fast. 5 Dick Porn was asked by Sister Eileen to present his views. He said that walking is the one of the preferred means of recreation by the persons they who live in continuing care retirement centers. Two-thirds of these people will be in their mid-seventies, healthy with modest sight and hearing loss. Safety and security is a prime issue. There will likely be about 500 people at 80—90 percent occupancy of the first phase of Mary's Woods. They will likely use the road during off-peak hours. Mary's woods plans to construct an internal pathways system and a pathway to get to the road. Mary's Woods has been conditioned by the City to provide a pathway along the road. The primary asset of Old River Road from this perspective is its natural setting. It provides connections to George Rogers and Mary S. Young Parks` and with the increased number of older people on the road, there are safety issues that need to be addressed. Staff was asked to comment on how narrow the road could be. He stated that for a residential street the road was substandard. In some places the width was 15 feet at the narrows and 18 — 19 feet at the widest. The fire department for example, wished that local residential streets by a minimum of 24 feet in width. However,the Department had learned to live with narrow streets in many places in town. David Dodds stated that he drives at 25 m.p.h. on the road and would have to be significantly impaired to hit someone. Staff stated that accidents occur with no one intending to cause them. It is essential that speeds be kept low because of walkers and recreational users because the lethality of a pedestrian being hit by car increases with speed. Sister Eileen stated that through this discussion that she heard strong areas of commonality that could be uses to direct staff to come back with refined design solutions. There was some discussion about in some areas the need to cross the road. An example was the use of"pedestrian table" as was done on Waluga Drive to connect West and East Waluga Park. Sister Eileen stressed that the primary area of disagreement was the pathway and that no consensus had been reached on whether to have a pathway, let alone its size and location. However, what seemed obvious is that most of the group did not see a need to have a pathway on Glenmorrie Drive. Staff stated that they had received correspondence from Richard Jacobson(Attachment C)expressing opposition to rumble strips because of noise. Further, Mr. Jacobson in a phone conversation had expressed his concern with being allowed to storing his canoe close to the road (down the bank) and within the right-of-way. Other correspondence was received from Gordon Howard outlining his organization's position on the proposed Findings, Design and Management solutions. The Task Force focused attention on the proposed findings, design and management 6 779 solutions for Old River Road. The following changes were made to the list. Bold indicates new language and otrike through indicates language to be deleted. The group intended this to guide staff in revising proposed design solutions. Where necessary A brief commentary follows each amendment. PROPOSED FINDINGS, DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS TO GUIDE IMPROVMENTS TO OLD RIVER ROAD AND GLENMORRIE DRIVE CATEGORY 1: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY FINDING(S): 1. There is the are potential significant and dangerous conflicts between automobiles, pedestrians and recreational users of Old River Road. Commentary: Judy Dauble stressed that the problem is with the speed of cars and the number of cars using the road, not the presence of pedestrians. However, it was acknowledged that unless something is done, there is at least the potential for conflict. 2. Glenmorrie Drive is narrow and very dangerous to pedestrians and bicyclists, especially in areas where there is no shoulder refuge for the pedestrian/bicyclist. Commentary. A majority of the Committee did agree that a pathway on Glenmorrie Drive should not be considered at this time. It may be appropriate to address this issue later, if problems do occur, or if there is a demand to walk Glenmorrie. Therefore, reference to Glenmorrie Road was deleted. SOLUTIONS: Category 1, Traffic Management and Safety Design Measures 1. Install traffic management devices such as speed bumps, and one-way queuing (pinch downs) on Old River Road to ensure vehicle speeds are maintained at 25 M.P.H. or less on all parts of the road. 2. Separate vehicular and pedestrian/bike traffic at the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive, Old River Road and the George Rogers Park trail. 2. Stop signs (warning signs at t e least'-should be installed initially and rumble strips at the sharp comer where Old River Road intersects with Glenmorrie Drive to make drivers think, stop and negotiate. If at some time in the future, stop signs are determined not have the desired effect,then rumble strips should considered as an additional measure. Commentary: Warning signs were deleted because stops signs were determined to be 7 preferred alternative. Rumble strips are to be considered at a later date if necessary. 4. Monument entry signs at the Lake Oswego/West Linn City limits that inform people that they are entering a recreational area 5. The co struction of a pathway on the east side-of Old River Road along its ontiro length- The amount of new asphalt should be minimized. A walking pathway is appropriate only on some sections of the road. The preference is to provide the walker an opportunity to move out of the traffic lane when necessary. If it is necessary for pedestrians to cross the road, then the crossing should occur at pinch points on an elevated "pedestrian table." Commentary: The above statement recognizes the lack of consensus on the issue of a pathway. However it does acknowledge the need for pedestrians to get off the road if necessary. Further, the statement recognizes the condition of development approval for Mary's Woods that a pathway be constructed along the road adjacent to the Sister's of the Holy Names property. 6. Shoulder improvements and construction-eta pathway on Glenmorrie Drive. Commentary: This statement has been deleted for-the reasons above. 7. Pavement management(overlays) and drainage improvements are required in conjunction with installation of traffic management devices aod-pathway construction and improvements to address pedestrian safety. 8. Tree preservation is essential and where possible, native landscaping particularly, tree planting should occur within the right-of-way and be sensitive to the views of area residents and walkers. 9. School bus stops should be located and designed to pe4uee danger to children. Commentary: It was-decided that school bus stops a net that dangerous. The statement was-deleted 10. Fix damaged and deteriorated guard rails and replace where possible with more aesthetic barriers consistent with the natural character of the area. Commentary: This statement recognizes the groups desire to improve the aesthetics of the area. Category 1, Traffic and Safety City Policy and Management Measures 1. Old River Road and its right-of-way should be designated as recreational resources, such as a linear walking park and managed to ensure the safety of recreational users and quality of life of area residents. 8 2. A law/regulation enforcement effort and ongoing public safety education effort should be developed and implemented germane to the road and the types of uses it receives, especially if it is designated as a recreational resource (linear park). Commentary: This statement reflects the group's discussion about neighborhood notice to drive safe on the road, especially during summer months. 3. Allow temporary closures for short special events. on weekends, and ovaluate tiee. Commentary: This statement reflects the decision that road closure should be a special event issue and the road should not be closed otherwise. CATEGORY 2: ENVIRONMENT AND AESTHETICS FINDING(S) 1. Glenmorrie Drive and especially Old River Road and their right-of-ways exist within a complex and highly regulated natural environment, including the Willamette River Greenway. Commentary: The group desires that the Willamette River Greenway be specifically referenced 2. Aesthetics and environmental quality are very important to those who live along these roads and to all other users. SOLUTIONS Category 2, Environment and Aesthetics Design Solutions 1 . Maintain the "country lane quality/rural street quality of the road by ensuring that the amount of new hard surface (asphalt) for pathways is the minimum necessary to address the above conflicts between automobiles and other users. 2. Improve the appearance of the sewer pump station at the intersection of Glenmorrie and Old River Road. Category 2, Environment and Aesthetics City Policy and Management Measures 1. Ensure that all future improvements are designed consistent with the City's public improvement design guidelines and with all applicable City, state and federal regulations. 9 • 2. Work with all property owners, especially the major landholders, Sisters of the Holy Names and Marylhurst University to enhancement the natural resources of the Willamette River Greenway and protect native plants and wildlife. 3. Enforce the Municipal Code relating to the storage or vehicles, boats and equipment and other items within the public right-of-way. 4. Educate the public regarding living and recreating within the Willamette River Greenway. CATEGORY 3 - RECREATION AND SCENIC QUALITY FINDINGS 1 . Provide a park-like experience for walkers. However, this term seeds to be defined a th + +h t' 1 1 r•ience de&ig with special concern given to property owners' to address concerns about congregation and security. 2. The use of Old River Road changes character during different times of the day. During weekday a.m. and p.m. travel peak it is a potential hazard for pedestrians. During low traffic times it is a pleasant walking experience. 3. Parts of the right-of-way are also people's yards. Some landscape encroachments have occurred. SOLUTIONS: Category 3, Recreation and Scenic Quality Design Solutions 1. Design the-pathway all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible,to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. 2. Future maintenance and improvements to Old River and Glenmorrie Drive should seek to minimize disturbance of established yards and landscaping. 3. Do not install streetlights or other lighting along Old River Road. Category 3, Recreation and Scenic Quality City Policy and Management Measures 1. Many of the same City policy and management measures that are applicable to the above categories are also applicable to Category 3. CATEGORY - SECURITY FINDINGS 10 7� 1. The ability to park on the road's shoulders poses security problems, because of drinking parties and a few burglaries. This situation also results in littering and destruction of natural resources because of fires and trampling. 2. In particular, car access to the wide spot at the Glenmorrie/Old River Road intersection, along the Sisters, of the Holy Names property, and at the West Linn City limits are problems. Commentary: All of the above locations need to be recognized as problem areas. 3. The presence of a large older population at the future Mary's Woods project(Sisters of the Holy Names) poses special security issues/concerns. SOLUTIONS: Category 4, Security Design Solutions 1. Install aesthetic barriers in locations to prevent parking along the road's shoulder in those locations identified to be problems. 2. Install Judiciously utilize signage that is aesthetic and creative that states laws are enforced pertaining to trespass, blocking driveways, dumping garbage, etc. 3. As above, design the pathway all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. 4. Involve the neighborhoods in an active program to promote driving safety and to report any unauthorized access to private property. Commentary: The above recognizes the need for aesthetics and the role of the neighborhood in promoting public safety. Category 4, Recreation and Scenic Quality City Policy and Management Measures 1. Enforce the law at every opportunity to address security issues such as trespass. 2. Institute opening and closing hours for the road. Commentary: Deletion of this statement is consistent with the group's position that the road not be closed. 11 l.�g , • i p`SAKE Ato Planning Division dow Me morandum OREGO$ TO: Old River Road Ad-Hoc Task Force FROM: Ron Bunch, Long Range Planning Manager DATE: July 1, 1999 RE: July 7, 1999 Task Force Meeting As you know, the report of the Task Force to the City Council is now scheduled for July 27, 1999. This provides the opportunity for the group to meet on July 7, 1999, to review and if necessary, refine its recommendations. Also, this is a chance for the Task Force to discuss how it wishes to present its report to the City Council. At the April 21, 1999 meeting the Task Force approved changes to the, "Findings, Design and Management Solutions to Guide Improvements to Old River Road and Glenmorrie Drive." Per direction received at the June 2, 1999 meeting this document (Attachment "A) and the proposed schematic design for"Old River Road Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Improvements" (Attachment"B") form the core of the Task Force's prospective recommendations to City Council. The Task Force stressed, at the April, May and June meetings, the need to also address the need to have speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive. With the Task Force's permission, I recommend the following be added to the "Findings Design and Management Solutions." • Install speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive where possible. This is important because once traffic is slowed on Old River it should also be slowed on Glenmorrie Drive. The tendency of some drivers would be to increase speed on Glenmorrie Drive if they have been forced to drive slowly on Old River Road. This would create an unsafe condition, • The proposed Traffic Management Devices must be tested thoroughly. A phased and judicious approach is needed to ensure implementation of the project is successful. There is not the need to do the whole project at once, but to do those things that will 1 most improve the safety and comfort of recreational users, drivers and residents who live along the road. These concepts have been shown in bold in Attachment"A". Please find attached the following meeting minutes for April 21, 1999 (revised and approved), May 5, 1999 (approved) and June 2, 1999 (draft). I have enjoyed working with all of you through this process and look forward to your help in developing the final report to Council. Thank you!

There is the potential for significant and dangerous conflicts between automobiles, pedestrians and recreational users of Old River Road. 2. Because of physical constraints, including width of pavement, location of driveways, proximity to steep banks and the presence of significant trees, a pedestrian pathway is not, at this time appropriate for Glenmorrie Drive. 3. Once traffic is slowed on Old River by traffic management measures, it should continued to be slowed on Glenmorrie Drive. The tendency of drivers would be to increase speed on Glenmorrie Drive if they have been forced to drive slowly on Old River Road. DESIGN SOLUTIONS: 4. Install 12 traffic management devices, (seven speed bumps and five pinch points) along the 4,800 feet of Old River Road from its intersection with Glenmorrie Drive to the West Linn city limits to ensure vehicle speeds are maintained at 25 M.P.H. or less on all parts of the road. Traffic management devices should be tested prior to installation. 5. Install speed bumps where possible on Glenmorrie Drive. 6. Separate vehicular and pedestrian/bike traffic at the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive, Old River Road and the George Rogers Park trail. 7. Install monument type entry signs at the Lake Oswego/West Linn City limits to inform people that they are entering a recreational area. 8. The amount of new asphalt should be minimized. A walking pathway is appropriate only on some sections of the road—one the east side along the Sisters of the Holy Names and the Marylhurst University property. The walker should have an opportunity to move out of the traffic lane when necessary along the remaining portions of the road. This can be accommodated on a three-foot wide gravel shoulder also on the east side. If it is necessary for pedestrians to cross the road, then the crossing should occur at pinch points on an elevated"pedestrian table." l 9. Pavement management (overlays)and drainage improvements are required in conjunction with installation of traffic management devices and other improvements to address pedestrian safety. 10. Tree preservation is essential and where possible, native landscaping particularly, tree planting should occur within the right-of-way and be sensitive to the views of area residents and walkers. 11. Fix damaged and deteriorated guard rails and replace where possible with more aesthetic barriers consistent with the natural character of the area. MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Old River Road and its right-of-way should be designated as recreational resource, such as a linear walking park and managed to ensure the safety of recreational users and the quality of life of area residents. 2. A law/regulation enforcement effort and ongoing public safety education effort should be developed and implemented germane to the road and the types of uses it receives, especially if it is designated as a recreational resource (linear park). 3. The proposed Traffic Management Devices must be tested thoroughly. A phased and judicious approach is needed to ensure implementation of the project is successful. There is not the need to do the whole project at once, but to do those things that will most improve the safety and comfort of recreational users, drivers and residents who live along the road. CATEGORY 2: ENVIRONMENT AND AESTHETICS FINDING(S) 1. Glenmorrie Drive and especially Old River Road and their right-of-ways exist within a complex and highly regulated natural environment, which includes the Willamette River Greenway. 2. Aesthetics and environmental quality are very important to those who live along these roads and to all other users. DESIGN SOLUTIONS 1 . Maintain the "country lane quality/rural street quality of the road by ensuring that the amount of new hard surface (asphalt) for pathways is the minimum necessary to address the above conflicts between automobiles and other users. Minimize the use of paint and signage. 2. Improve the appearance of the sewer pump station at the intersection of Glenmorrie and Old River Road. MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Ensure that all future improvements are designed consistent with the City's public improvement design guidelines and with all applicable City, state and federal regulations. 2. Work with all property owners, especially the major landholders, Sisters of the Holy Names and Marylhurst University to enhance the natural resources of the Willamette River Greenway and protect native plants and wildlife. 3. Enforce the Municipal Code relating to the storage or vehicles, boats and equipment and other items within the public right-of-way. 4. Educate the public regarding living and recreating within the Willamette River Greenway. CATEGORY 3 - RECREATION AND SCENIC DUALITY FINDING(S) 1 . Provide a park-like experience for walkers with special concern given to residents/property owners' concerns about congregation and security. 2. The use of Old River Road changes character during different times of the day. During weekday a.m. and p.m. travel peak it is a potential hazard for pedestrians. During low traffic times it is a pleasant walking experience. 3. Parts of the right-of-way are also people's yards. Some landscape encroachments have occurred. DESIGN SOLUTIONS: 1. Design all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. 2. Future maintenance and improvements to Old River and Glenmorrie Drive should seek to minimize disturbance of established yards and landscaping. 3. Do not install streetlights or other lighting along Old River Road. q MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Many of the same policy and management measures that are applicable to the above categories are also applicable to Category 3. CATEGORY 4 - SECURITY FINDINGS 1. The ability to park on the road's shoulders poses security problems, because of drinking parties and a few burglaries. This situation also results in littering and destruction of natural resources because of fires and trampling. 2. In particular, car access to the wide spot at the Glenmorrie/Old River Road intersection, along the Sisters of the Holy Names property and at the West Linn City limits are problems. 3. The presence of a large older population at the future Mary's Woods project (Sisters of the Holy Names)poses special security issues/concerns. DESIGN SOLUTIONS: 1. Install aesthetic barriers to prevent parking along the road's shoulder in those locations identified to be problems. 2. Judiciously utilize signage that is aesthetic and creative that states laws are enforced pertaining to trespass,blocking driveways, dumping garbage, etc. 3. As above, design all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. MANAGEMENT MEASURES 1. Involve the neighborhoods in an active program to promote driving safety and to report any unauthorized access to private property. 2. Enforce the law at every opportunity to address security issues such as trespass. File Orrm78 (49 ()414A,.., MINUTES OLD RIVER ROAD AD-HOC TASK FORCE June 2, 1999 -- 6:30- 8:30 p.m. Lake Oswego City Hall Council Chambers Members Present: Sister Eileen Brown, Co-Chair, Stan Aschenbrenner, Judy Dauble, Duane Funk, Paula Diamond(for Kelly Atwood) Staff Present: Ron Bunch, Long Range Planning Manager; David Aushserman, Fregonese Calthorpe&Associates; Others Present: Dick Porn, Pricilla Panichello, Gloria Handy, David Bartz, and Bud Dawell Sister Eileen opened the meeting at 6:30 p.m. Ten minutes was taken to review and comment on the revision to the April 21, 1999 minutes and the draft May 5, 1999 minutes. The minutes were approved. Sister Eileen stated the primary purpose of the meeting is to review the design concept, which has been developed in response to the Committee's, and the public's input. David Ausherman presented the design concept for Old River Road, which has evolved over the last several meetings. The following summarizes his presentation. As previously discussed there is a need to separate the pedestrian bicyclist from the intersection of the George Rogers Park pathway, Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road. This is a important safety issue. Therefore, it is proposed to bring the pathway behind the guardrail, on the riverside and connect it up to the road past the pump station. The pump station would be screened and landscaped. Service vehicles could access the pump station via a gate. The opportunity for public parking in the vicinity of the pump station would be eliminated by the installation of natural ( or natural appearing) barricades, such as boulders. This design treatment(natural barriers) would be applied all along the road to address residents and property owners concerns with security (illegal parking and trespass). There was discussion about how well stop signs would work at the intersection of Glenmorrie and Old River Road. David relayed that the City Engineer said that drivers would likely ignore the stop signs. There was discussion that this situation would perhaps give the pedestrians a false sense of security. It was decided that with the separation of the pathway from the road, it would be better not to install the stop signs. A wait and see approach would be more appropriate It was expressed that the final plans and recommendation to go to Council needs to reflect the direction of the committee to put speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive. As stated previously,this is important because once traffic is slowed on Old River it should continued to be slowed on Glenmorrie Drive. The tendency of drivers would be to increase speed on Glenmorrie Drive if they have been forced to drive slow on Old River Road. A really critical safety point is the sharp curve mid-way on Glenmorrie. 1 Beginning at the south end of the project(West Linn city limits), the existing off-road pathway would be extended and enter the project area at a pinch-point. The pinch point would allow the road to be shifted west, construct a pathway and still preserve significant trees. Along the length of the Sisters of the Holy Names and Marylhurst University properties, the road is proposed be adjusted westward in several locations to make room for a pathway on the east side. Pinch points are valuable tools because in several areas they serve both as traffic management devices and to allow room for the pathway where the terrain would be otherwise too steep. The pinch points would be about as long as two car lengths. Within this area the pavement is very narrow. In some areas the width is less than 15 feet. A very small amount of new travel surface is proposed—two -three feet to make the pavement as wide as it is adjacent to the Glenmorrie portion of the project. Speed bumps would be used in conjunction with the pinch points in ensure that traffic on the road would travel at 25 m.p.h. There would be 12 of these traffic management devices (speed bumps and pinch points), spaced about 400 feet apart along the length of the road. It was stressed again that pinch-point are proven traffic management devices. David stated in some areas, such as across from the Handy's (Gloria's)property, it might be necessary to construct a retaining wall or other engineered solution to provide for the width necessary to provide for the step off. A pinch point would not work in this situation because of the location of the driveway. Gloria raised issues with the need to do an extensive engineered solution at this location. She said that the objective would be to do the minimum amount of improvements necessary. After considerable discussion it was determined that it was possible provide for adequate room for pedestrians by perhaps marking the pavement with paint. David said that he would visit the site with Gloria and discuss potential solutions. At the end of the Sister's of the Holy Names property, where the Glenmorrie Neighborhood begins, the five to six foot wide off-road trail would transition to a three foot wide graveled shoulder. The graveled shoulder would provide for the ability of the pedestrian to step off the road and out of the way of traffic. The committee members and some members of the public each commented on the proposal. Gloria Bence raised issues regarding the need for the three-foot wide, compacted graveled shoulder. She indicated that walkers step off the road anyway to avoid cars. The questions were asked, "Once the traffic is slowed down, is there a need for any widening? Would the wideneing promote parking along the street, which is what the Task Force wishes to avoid? Why couldn't the widening be one foot instead of three feet? "Won' t the widening encourage persons to drive onto the shoulder? Won't walkers and runners use the road anyway?During discussion the Task Force determined that the three-foot 2 s "soft shoulder" was a reasonable to allow persons to step off the road, especially those walking with small children and those, such as older adults who did not feel comfortable walking in the travel lanes. Further, it should be three feet because a person who takes refuge from traffic should be able to get all of their body's width comfortably out of the travel lane. The committee determined that the shoulder would not be wide enough to encourage the type of parking that concern had been expressed about. The concern had been with those who party at night and trespass onto private land. Cars that did park would intrude into the right-of-way and would be parked illegally and could be cited and towed. In some areas, a judiciously placed boulders would prevent encroachment onto private property. Sister Eileen said that pedestrian safety is important along the entire length of the road. This is important since a large number of future residents of Mary's Woods will likely walk the distance from Mary's Woods to George Rogers Park and perhaps beyond. These persons will be elderly and it is important to have an appropriate transition from the developed pathway,which has been required as a condition of development approval of Mary's Woods. It would not be safe to have a fully developed six-foot path immediately stop, and expect persons to walk on the travel surface of the road. Therefore, a place where pedestrians can get off the road is important. There is and will be more so a mix of people using the road and it is necessary to provide for a range of physical capabilities. With a three-foot shoulder,there would certainly be people using the road such as runners, but there is the need to provide for those who don't want to do so, or feel they don't have the capabilities to do so. Paula Diamond raised the issue of the need to provide for the multi-use function of the road and whether,the three foot shoulder really addressed the need for safety of all the types of walkers that would use the road. She asked that wouldn't a pathway be more appropriate? It seemed to her to not represent an appropriate/transition or continuation of the pathway that is proposed to be developed within the south portion of the project. Dick Porn stated that, from his perspective, improvements along the entire length of the road should reflect the need to accommodate the need all users, especially the elderly that will using the road for recreation. There was discussion about the requirements, to accommodate the other range of needs expressed by the committee and the public, such as minimizing the impact on the neighborhood and the appearance of Old River Road and its surroundings; to evaluate the traffic calming impacts of the traffic management devices before committing to a pathway and, to address the concerns of Glenmorrie residents who feel a six foot wide paved pathway is not appropriate. Judy Dauble stated that the design was responsive to the direction of the committee and there was a lot to like about it. She said that it was important for the speed bumps referenced above to be installed on Glenmorrie Drive. She said that she liked the approach that the road's travel width would not be widened beyond what is along the 3 1 private property portion of the project. She emphasized the need to test the traffic management measures and evaluate impacts. There was discussion about testing, evaluation and phasing of implementation. The Task Force vigorously stressed the need to test thoroughly the proposed traffic management devices and to take a judicious approach to implementation. There is not the need to do the whole project at once,but to do initially those things that will most improve the safety and comfort of recreational users, drivers, and residents. It was expressed that phasing is essential for success. It was stressed that with the conclusion of the Task Force's charge, the City continue to involve the residents and users in the testing, evaluation and implementation phases. Judy asked staff if to explain how the project would be phased or implemented. Staff stated that the testing phase is very important to initiate this summer. This is because summer is when peak usage of the road occurs, especially since students are out of school for the summer. In addition, it would be important to do testing before the pavement management project is started at the south-end (Marylhurst, Sisters of the Holy Names) portion of the project. After discussion the following phases where identified. I. Summer, 1999: Traffic Management Testing II. Fall, 1999: Installation of Tested and Workable Traffic Management Devices in the Areas Outside of the Pavement Management Project Boundaries Including Glenmorrie Drive. III. Summer, 2000: Pavement Management Project on South Portion of the Project Area(Sisters of the Holy Names and Marlyhurst University) IV. Summer, 2000: Installation of Tested and Workable Traffic Management Devices Within the Southern Portion of the Project. V. Summer, 2001: Construction of Pathway on the Southern Portion of the Project of the Project. This would coincide with the appropriate Development Phase of Mary's Woods. There was discussion as to when the shoulder improvements ( 3'wide gravel) would be done on the northern portion of the project. There was discussion that it is logical to do so to coincide with the installation of the traffic management devices. Judy Dauble stressed that other parts of the program need to be implemented as well, including public information, installation of barriers to prevent trespass and the restoration of natural areas along the river. She stated that the Willamette River Greenway values need to be observed. She stressed that it is very important that improvements be done in a way not to intrude onto private property and be designed and 4 10 implemented in a"low-key" manner. Especially important is the use of natural materials for barriers to prevent unauthorized parking, minimal signage and minimal use of paint. Judy said that she like the design because it did not widen the paved travel width of the road beyond what it is along the residential portion of the project area. Minimizing the amount of asphalt is important. Duane Funk and Stan Ashenbrenner during subsequent discussion concurred with Judy that the design reflected the direction and discussion of the Task Force and that it represented a good compromise. There was also discussion as to how to fund the Marylhurst University portion of the pathway project. It was mentioned that even though the University was proposing some renovation, it might be difficult to develop a"nexus"to apply a condition of development of approval to construct the pathway associated with the level of development being proposed. This was a matter that would have to wait until an application was made by the University for land use approval. There was discussion about several funding possibilities including, SDCs, revenues from the Street Fund, Metro and State Transportation Improvement Funds, Oregon Dept. of Transportation Bicycle and Pedestrian Grants, Oregon Salmon Recovery Program for riverbank restoration,Neighborhood Enhancement Funds, etc. There was discussion about Glenmorrie's submission of a Neighborhood Enhancement Grant for a viewing platform. Judy said that the Neighborhood had not had a full discussion of the idea and wished the City to delay action. They would be in contact with staff. Bud Dawell said that he disagreed with the City's position that it had 60 feet of right-of- way along Old River Road. He said that he would contest the City's use of the right-of- way if need be. Also, he was prepared to legally contest the construction of a viewing platform. He referenced the Willamette Greenway Goal and implementing administrative rules. There was discussion about the upcoming Council presentation. Sister Eileen said that another meeting was necessary in July to go over the presentation and confirm the Task Force's recommendations. Judy Dauble said that the agreed upon, Findings and Design and Management Solutions should be an integral part of the Council Report. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m. Ron Bunch Long Range Planning Manager file: orrmin62.doc 5 I 1 MINUTES OLD RIVER ROAD TASK FORCE -- MAY 5, 1999 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. - Lake Oswego Human Resources Conference Room Members Present: Sister Eileen Brown, Co-Chair, Mike Anderson, Co-Chair, Michael • P. Lammers, David Funk David Dodds (Arrived Late), Judy Dauble, Kelly Atwood, Marcia Robertson, Jamie M. Ellgen, Stan Aschenbrenner Staff: Ron Bunch, Lake Oswego Long Range Planning Manager and David Ausherman, Fregonese, Calthorpe & Associates, Gordon Howard, City of West Linn Others: Gloria Bence, John Panichello, Priscilla Panichello, Jerry Lublink, C.C. Dawell, and David Bartz The meeting was convened at 6:35 p.m. I. Review and Approval of the April 21, 1999 Minutes Judy Dauble stated that she had some minor changes to propose to the April 21, 1999 minutes. On page 4, third bullet. The first sentence statement should read, "If a pathway is provided on the road, it should abut the road. A five to six foot wide paved strip should be provided for walkers to get out of the way of cars." On page 5 the statement under the fourth bullet should read, There should be enforcement, but residents along Old River Road are frustrated with speed enforcement. We can't rely on speed enforcement to slow traffic. Residents don't believe that traffic enforcement has been effective. Judy wished to stress, that she did not want to give the impression that the Police Department is ineffective. The statement behind the seventh bullet--"Drainage and p ent o + needed", should be deleted. On page six, third sentence, The sentence should be changed to read, "The primary asset of Old River Road Weeds is its natural setting. With the above changes the minutes of April 21, 1999 were approved. 1Z II. Review and Discussion of Proposed Findings and design and policy/management solutions Applicable to Old River Road and Glenmorrie Drive. Mike Anderson, Co-Chair stated that he was unable to be at the last meeting because of work, but he wished to make sure that his concerns as an ad-hoc representative of the entire community were in the record. He wanted to stress that public safety and the needs of the recreational walker be taken into consideration. This is important, especially in light of statements made at the last meeting about not needing a pathway on the road. It seems that the process engaged in by the Task Force has resulted in a set of options that meet everyone's needs, and a pathway all along the road needs serious consideration for the sake of public safety and the recreational walker. Jamie Ellgen stated that she was fundamentally against a pathway because of Old Town's experience with the City requiring a pathway as part of the new"River Bend" development to connect to Rohr Park. A pathway along Old River Road would encourage walkers and bikers to use Old River Road, George Rogers Park and then come through Old Town to Rohr Park. This would impact Old Town. Safety can be addressed on the road by traffic management devices and providing a place for the pedestrian and bicyclist to step off. Judy Dauble stated that there is a need to accommodate the safety issues but impact as few people as possible. Safety is a vehicular issue and not a pedestrian issue. If the speeds and amount of traffic is dealt with then the road would be safer. It is important to protect the natural resources of the area. Sister Eileen stated that what she had heard was to approach solving the problems on Old River Road as a phased program. Not to do everything all at once, but approach the issues one or two steps at a time and do things as they are needed. A major goal is to manage traffic - to slow it down and make the road safer Judy Dauble stressed that a major issue is to protect the natural environment. Phasing is important -- to do as little as possible until the problem is addressed. Jamie Ellen stated regarding rumble strips, the concern regarding noise and appearance might be addressed with using differences in paving as has been done in Old Town and Waluga Park. The Committee agreed that the attached findings and design and policy/management solutions applicable to Old River Road and Glenmorrie Drive were representative of the Task Force's general recommendation to the City Council. III. Review of Proposed Design Concepts for Old River Road 2 �� Preceding review of the of the proposed design concepts for Old River Road,there was concern about the speed of the person who delivered papers,early in the morning. In addition, Kelly Atwood stated that an acquaintance of his, which typically speeds on the road, said that he had"talked"his way out of a speeding ticket. Kelly stressed that the City should take a stronger position in enforcing the speed laws on Old River Road. David Ausherrnan reviewed several different types of speed and traffic management devices, including full and partial speed bumps,rounded speed bumps,pedestrian table and pinch downs. He provided examples of these applications in Denmark, on what the Danes referred to as"quiet and silent"roads. He stated in the example provided that speeds were reduce to the level, 25 mph, desired by the task force and there had been no accidents. He stressed that pedestrian facilities were integral and.noted that all of the examples had pathways, preferably separated from the road. In some instances, where topography did not warrant,the pathway shared the edge of the road. Where the pathway was separated,the width of the road was perceived as narrower. Examples were provided were there was a subtle change in paving between the road and the path. The locations of the proposed pinch points and speed bumps were discussed. David stated that,the pinch points needed to be carefully sited to avoid driveways and provide room (where the group agreed there should be a pathway --the Sisters' property) for a pathway to avoid steep slopes. The width of the road, in the vicinity of the pinch points was discussed. Twelve feet was emphasized as need for a school bus. The Fire Department likes to have two - 12 foot lanes for residential streets. It was stressed that the pinch-points in some places were not going to be very dramatic, since the reality on the road is that in some places it only has a 14 - 15 foot paved width. This often causes vehicles to drive off the pavement to avoid pedestrians and on-coming cars. The way by which the path from George Rogers Park was proposed to be separated from the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road was reviewed again. The need to make the pump station more attractive was also stressed again. Judy Dauble asked how this was going to be done in a way to avoid going on private property-- off of the pavement and the private easement. Staff stated that City had adequate pubic right-of- way to do so and that it was one of the goals of this project to minimize, where possible the use of the right-of-way. Therefore, it was very unlikely that this or any part of the improvements recommended by the Task Force would encroachment onto private property. There was general discussion of the pinch-points and speed bumps and it was agreed that some of these devices could be interchanged. It was stated that the location of the pinch points and driveways should not conflict. The group as a whole felt that traffic management devices(speed bumps) on Glenmorrie Drive were important to support the recommendations being developed for Old River 3 14 Road -- especially to slow traffic to enhance pedestrian safety. It was recognized that some parts of Glenmorrie Drive, from an engineering standpoint were not appropriate, but where they could be used, they should. This is because, there are more cars on Glenmorrie Drive and traffic that once traffic, which has been slowed on Old River Road, hits Glenmorrie, speeds would increased. There was considerable discussion about the proper design of the hairpin curve at the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road. David stated that it would be possible to cut the embankment to provide adequate sight distance. Judy Dauble said that this would be inconsistent with the need to maintain the "country" look and feel of the road and it was important to lessen encroachment on private property Sister Eileen stressed the many commonalties that the Task Force shared. It was important that Old River Road was recognized as a mullet-use road. She stated that the details as to how to address these kinds of issues were important and when the recommendations were implemented, then the community and neighborhood should also be involved in the implementation. There was a general discussion regarding the need to ensure that the corner was safe. A general consensus was arrived at that the hill should not be cut back, that stop signs should be installed and the trail from George Rogers Park definitely needed to be separated from the road. The sharp corner tended to slow traffic down and there was some comment, that the corner could be made shaper to make the driver stop, think and negotiate the corner to reduce speed. Jamie Ellgen stated that it was important that the concepts for traffic management that were discussed be tested as soon as possible. This summer with, with summer traffic on the road would be an ideal time. There was a general agreement that testing of the proposed traffic management devices needs to occur as soon as possible. Staff indicated that they would ask the City manager to do this and get back to the Task Force. Jamie also stressed that the since the road is used so much for recreational walking that a gateway feeling should be stressed. IV. Public Comment, Discussion and Announcements C.C. Dawell's comments are summarized below: • He doubted that the city surveyor had described the right road in his description -- that there were a lot of mistakes in the past. • The issue in this case are property rights and that the City is proposing to use the road for a use that is not allowed by the underlying rights of the adjoining property owners. 4 19.. • Dogs are an issue and a problems in terms of number and sanitation. Safety is not an issue; there have not been any accidents on the road. • The road should be left as it its. • Use of the road for uses as proposed affects the property values of the owners. This is a unique situation and there has no grant of right-of-way to the City. • Stop signs do not work. There are too many stop signs already and in many places stop signs are being taken down because the driver does not pay attention to them. • There has not been an official transfer of the road to the City by the County. • This road as a recreational area conflicts with private property interests. This is an absolutely private area. • Painted lines are inappropriate. Signs are a visual pollution issue and should be minimized. • Mr. Dawell stated that he is taking steps that he could not disclose to address the above private property protection issues. The land underlying the road belongs to the property owners. • He said that he is comfortable with the pinch points. David Bartz, stated that he lives on the corner of Glenmorrie and Old River Road and safety is a big issue with him and his family. He is not so concerned with the private property issue as he is with protecting the safety of his family and others that use the road. Speed is an issue. The road should be managed where traffic has to go 25 m.p.h. The hill forming the curve on Glenmorrie where it intersects with Old River Road below his property should not be smoothed out. It serves to slow down traffic. Also, there are large trees that would come down if the curve were straightened out. The path should stay on the same side of the road -- the east side. It should not cross the road- back and forth. David said that he has concerns about the safety of bus- stops, especially at Lily Lane. Perhaps sign is needed that Children are on the road or that a bus stop is at a particular location. Some effort is needed to ensure the safety of bus stops. One way to do this is to install speed bumps on Glenmorrie Drive. He has worked out the location of four where they would be possible from an engineering perspective. Slowing cars down on Glenmorrie Drive would go a long ways to addressing the pedestrian safety issue. 5 ( � Rumble strips are noisy and should not be used. Stops signs are a more appropriate solution. Gloria Bence stated that the hillside should not be cut back. Stop signs are needed at the location. Drivers need to slow down. Perhaps the curve needs to be sharper. There needs to be some demarcation where private property is where the path from George Rogers intersects Old River Road. Otherwise people will still trespass to get to the River at this location. The pinch downs need to be carefully sited to avoid conflicts with driveways and it is recommended that speed bumps be across all of the road's width to avoid people trying to drive around them. Testing of these and other traffic management devices needs to occur before actual construction take place. Summer is a good time for this to occur. The phase-in approach of these improvements is a good one, to gauge the impacts of improvements on the safety objectives. Sister Eileen closed the meeting, stating that the group is read to finalize its recommendations and that the above comments will be prepared in a design to be presented at the June 2, 1999 meeting. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m. Ron Bunch Long Range Planning Manager 6 MINUTES OLD RIVER ROAD TASK FORCE -- WORK SESSION April 21, 1999 -- 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Lake Oswego City Hall - Human Resources Room Revised at the May 5, 1999 Meeting Members Present: Co-Chair, Sister Eileen Brown, Kelly Atwood, Stan Aschenbrenner, NRAB, David Dodds, Robinwood N.A. (Alternate), Michael Lammers, Marylhurst, Judy Dauble, Glenmorrie N.A., Marsha Robertson, PRAB Staff Present: Ron Bunch, Long Range Planning Manager, David Ausherman, Fregonese Calthorpe Associates Others: Dick Porn, John Panichello,Priscilla Panichello Excused: Mike Anderson, Gordon Howard, Jamie Ellgen The meeting was convened at 6:00 p.m. INTRODUCTION Sister Eileen Brown explained the purpose of the meeting as necessary to address more fully the issues raised at the April 4, 1999 Task Force meeting. This was necessary to begin to formulate a recommendation to the City Council and provide staff definitive direction for the May 5, 1999 meeting. She stated that at the last meeting there were expressed many things in common regarding the pathway. It is important to stress these common themes to be able to proceed in a positive direction. Also,there are some themes of disagreement, which also must be recognized. What she heard at the last meeting are as follows: • Safety for those who use the road is important. However, there was not a consensus regarding the construction of pathway separate from the road. It was expressed by at least two members of the committee that a separate pathway should be eliminated from consideration. It was expressed that other options should be considered such as using the existing 15 - 16 foot wide roadway. In this vein however the Council's charge statement to the task force was to align a pathway. The meaning of"align: was determined (clarified)to not engineer with the location of a pathway. The intent was to the general location of a path such as on the east or west side of the road. • Traffic needs to be managed, especially the speed of cars. This can be accomplished through the use of traffic management devices such as periodic pinch-points and speed bumps. There was not a consensus on the use of rumble strips because of noise. What were shown at the last meeting were 5 pinch-points about 1,000 feet apart with the prospect of using periodic speed bumps in-between. 1 �� • The natural beauty and natural resource characteristics of the area must be protected. Especially important is the need to protect existing vegetation. In this regard, all improvements should be designed consistent with this theme. Well-designed and judicious signage is important. Excessive use of paint should also be avoided. Signage that is used should have specific themes, such as alerting those who use the road of speed limits, and the fact that this is a special recreation and slower speeds are necessary. • Closing the road is not an option,except perhaps for special events. • Drainage improvements(surface water management) are important as is repaving the road (pavement management)within its current width. Sister Eileen, asked the members to present express their views about the what the group has in common and to comment on the proposed design treatments of Old River Road in particular. David Dodds (Alternate for Duane Funk)presented written material (Attachment A) and expressed his fundamental opposition to any pedestrian improvements that would widen the road. He stated that the Task Force was directed to align a pathway, which was opposed by the neighborhood. This is because of the inflexibility of the City of Lake Oswego and its Transportation Plan. The appropriate solution would be to install 10— 12 speed bumps to control traffic,as was done on Old River Road in West Linn and leave the neighborhood alone. He continued that this Committee is example of the City Council's misplaced paternalism. The citizens were being treated like small children. The Task Force was a pathway siting committee, not a group to reach consensus on what's best for the area. He said he drafted portions of the West Linn Transportation Plan. Work that he did would prevent this kind of thing from happening. Written material from the West Linn Transportation Plan was presented(Attachment B). If the Task Force continued to support a pathway and some other parts of the proposal, he doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Further,he had reviewed his submitted material with Duane Funk and he agreed with this position. Sister Eileen asked David if he disagreed with all Task Force's mission, such as to make recommendations regarding traffic management,protecting the environmental quality of the area, improve the quality of the road and so forth, or if his opposition focused on the pathway. He stated his opposition was with the pathway and any action that would widen the road and is inconsistent with the wishes of the neighborhood. Stan Ashenbrenner pointed out that the Council's charge statement stated that the group was to, "undertake a study of issues and conditions which will now and in the future affect the road, and reach a consensus regarding the roads future character." The operative word is"future"and it should not be intended that all of these improvements are necessary now. Recommending a phased approach to apply a range of design solutions is entirely appropriate. Stan had to leave at 6:45 to attend another meeting. 2 dd � 1 Michael Lammers stressed that his area of concern was the frontage of the road along Marylhurst University. He felt that there should be less rather than more done on the road to establish a reasonable comfort/safety of those who use the road. In other words, instead of approaching the project with all of the improvements in place at once, the plan could ratchet, or phase into safety, with initial installation of traffic management of traffic management devices to see what they could do to address traffic concerns. There could a mixing and matching of improvements to address the traffic management(speed) issues over time. Ron Bunch was asked what the fire department feels about speed bumps/traffic management devices. He said that he had talked with the fire department about the they really don't like them for the following reasons: • They slow response times. This is really critical when trying to get to fire or medical emergency. A small delay can have severe consequences; • Speed bumps are hard on the fire department's equipment-- truck axles, drivelines, and frames. • Speed bumps makes it hard to transport injured persons -- especially those with spinal injuries or when the paramedics are in the midst of procedures. They pose a risk. That said, the Department lives with speed bumps and in this circumstance said they would life with the situation if speed bumps and other traffic management devices were installed. The department also stated that, they have concerns with the pinch points because they could also slow response times, especially if a car stalls within one of them. However, in many ways the entire road, because it is so narrow is a one big pinch point. The fire department likes to have a minimum 24-foot wide local residential street and the pavement width on the road ranges from 15 feet to 18 feet. However, there are a lot of narrow residential streets in the area that the department stated that they had to cope with. Kelly Atwood stated that he had reviewed his plan with the Old River Road neighbors and that his group is opposed to pinch points. A place to get off the road is important. The road is narrow in many places and the pedestrian needs to be able to move off the road to let cars go by. Cars can't pass pedestrians or bicyclists because there is a double yellow line. At the very least a margin could be built. • Speed bumps are appropriate. • The double yellow line should be removed so cars can legally go around pedestrians. • Stop signs should be installed at the corner of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road to cause a complete stop. Rumble strips should be installed at this location to warn, remind drivers that a stop sign is coming up. The rumble strips are far enough away 3 mot/ from houses so as not to cause noise problems. • The pathway from George Rogers Park should be separated from the Road as was previously proposed. • A pathway is not feasible on Glenmorrie and should be dropped from consideration. It is not realistic. There are cars backing out on the road, and walking on the road on a foggy morning would be a risky proposition. • If a pathway is provided on the road, it should abut the road. A five - six foot wide paved strip should be provided to allow walkers to get out of the way of cars. In regard to separating the path from the road a broad white line would be appropriate. An example is the white line (and bumps) on Iron Mountain. However there should not be a lot of lines. • Pull-off parking should be prevented. Barriers need to be installed to prevent cars from parking. • Enforcement is important. However, education of area residents during the summer could also be effective. For example, when schools are out during the summer and older children come home from college flyers should be distributed to everyone along Old River Road to drive and walk safely. • Twenty-five (25) M.P.H. signs should be posted on both ends of the road. Marsha Robertson stated that drainage needs to be addressed along the road. Bad drainage poses problems for both pedestrians and drivers. There needs to be a designated area for walkers. In some areas it is hard to get out of the way of cars because the road is right next to the riverbank. Traffic control is needed and walkers need to be separated from the corner of Glenmorrie Drive and Old River Road. Enforcement and public education needs to be emphasized. David Dodds said that a pathway would be very hard to build along the road on the east side. There would be too much ecological disturbance. Besides, it some places, it would have to be so close to the bank that walkers would be in danger. Judy Dauble said that traffic needs to be controlled first before building a pathway. Traffic speed is the issue, not the conflict between pedestrians and automobiles. Speed bumps and pinch points are necessary. A phased treatment of the problem would be the best approach. Do traffic control first and then see if a problem still exists. It is likely that a pathway would not be necessary. Only some sections of the road could possibly accommodate a pathway. She said that the Glenmorrie neighborhood is not in favor of a path. There might be areas where a pedestrian could step off the road, such as an improved shoulder—maybe a couple of feet. She also added. 4 • Pedestrians needed to be protected at the Glenmorrie/Old River Road corner. Barriers that are proposed should be natural in character. • The neighborhood is in favor of natural solutions such as boulders instead of guardrails. • There should be a minimum amount of encroachment on private property. • There should be enforcement, but residents along residents along Old River Road are frustrated with speed enforcement. We can't rely on speed enforcement to slow traffic. Residents don't believe that traffic enforcement has been effective. • The neighborhood wants the road to be just as it is now. It is a natural asset and should not be disturbed by more asphalt. Perhaps the pathway could just as well go down the middle of the road. People walk down the middle of the road now. • Tree preservation should be emphasized over landscaping with native plant materials. Staff explained that there is lot that can be done to rehabilitate portions of the river's edge with native vegetation. There had been a lot of disturbance as evidenced by invasive plant species throughout the area. • The neighborhood is opposed to a pathway on Glenmorrie Drive. • The issue of teen drivers in the summer should be addressed. Sister Eileen stated that the development of Mary's Woods will result in a special clientele using the road. Their concern is the safety and security of this group. In essence this project will introduce more older people to the area. She hears the opposition to pinch points but perhaps a couple could be introduced to the area. In addition phasing in a range of improvements is a good idea—seeing what works first and delaying implementation of other design solutions. • Mary's Woods wishes to retain and enhance the natural setting and have retention/of the area's natural beauty as the core any design solution. • Traffic management(slowing cars down) is important such as speed bumps and pinch points. • Cars must be prevented from parking on the road through the use of barriers. The safety and security of adjacent property owners is essential. • Pedestrians, especially the aged and children, need to have refuge from traffic. Perhaps this can be accomplished through an extension of the street. It must be realized that the aged and children cannot move as fast. 5 Dick Porn was asked by Sister Eileen to present his views. He said that walking is the one of the preferred means of recreation by the persons they who live in continuing care retirement centers. Two-thirds of these people will be in their mid-seventies,healthy with modest sight and hearing loss. Safety and security is a prime issue. There will likely be about 500 people at 80—90 percent occupancy of the first phase of Mary's Woods. They will likely use the road during off-peak hours. Mary's woods plans to construct an internal pathways system and a pathway to get to the road. Mary's Woods has been conditioned by the City to provide a pathway along the road. The primary asset of Old River Road from this perspective is its natural setting. It provides connections to George Rogers and Mary S. Young Parks`and with the increased number of older people on the road, there are safety issues that need to be addressed. Staff was asked to comment on how narrow the road could be. He stated that for a residential street the road was substandard. In some places the width was 15 feet at the narrows and 18 — 19 feet at the widest. The fire department for example, wished that local residential streets by a minimum of 24 feet in width. However,the Department had learned to live with narrow streets in many places in town. David Dodds stated that he drives at 25 m.p.h. on the road and would have to be significantly impaired to hit someone. Staff stated that accidents occur with no one intending to cause them. It is essential that speeds be kept low because of walkers and recreational users because the lethality of a pedestrian being hit by car increases with speed. Sister Eileen stated that through this discussion that she heard strong areas of commonality that could be uses to direct staff to come back with refined design solutions. There was some discussion about in some areas the need to cross the road. An example was the use of"pedestrian table" as was done on Waluga Drive to connect West and East Waluga Park. Sister Eileen stressed that the primary area of disagreement was the pathway and that no consensus had been reached on whether to have a pathway, let alone its size and location. However, what seemed obvious is that most of the group did not see a need to have a pathway on Glenmorrie Drive. Staff stated that they had received correspondence from Richard Jacobson(Attachment C) expressing opposition to rumble strips because of noise. Further, Mr. Jacobson in a phone conversation had expressed his concern with being allowed to storing his canoe close to the road(down the bank) and within the right-of-way. Other correspondence was received from Gordon Howard outlining his organization's position on the proposed Findings, Design and Management solutions. The Task Force focused attention on the proposed findings, design and management 6 solutions for Old River Road. The following changes were made to the list. Bold indicates new language and stfilEe-through indicates language to be deleted. The group intended this to guide staff in revising proposed design solutions. Where necessary A brief commentary follows each amendment. PROPOSED FINDINGS, DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS TO GUIDE IMPROVMENTS TO OLD RIVER ROAD AND GLENMORRIE DRIVE CATEGORY 1: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY FINDING(S): 1. There is the--are-potential significant and dangerous conflicts between automobiles, pedestrians and recreational users of Old River Road. Commentary: Judy Dauble stressed that the problem is with the speed of cars and the number of cars using the road, not the presence of pedestrians. However, it was acknowledged that unless something is done, there is at least the potential for conflict. z. Commentary: A majority of the Committee did agree that a pathway on Glenmorrie Drive should not be considered at this time. It may be appropriate to address this issue later, if problems do occur, or if there is a demand to walk Glenmorrie. Therefore, reference to Glenmorrie Road was deleted. SOLUTIONS: Category 1, Traffic Management and Safety Design Measures 1. Install traffic management devices such as speed bumps, and one-way queuing (pinch downs) on Old River Road to ensure vehicle speeds are maintained at 25 M.P.H. or less on all parts of the road. 2. Separate vehicular and pedestrian/bike traffic at the intersection of Glenmorrie Drive, Old River Road and the George Rogers Park trail. 2. Stop signs (warning at the least) should be installed at the sharp comer where Old River Road intersects with Glenmorrie Drive to make drivers think, stop and negotiate. If at some time in the future, stop signs are determined not have the desired effect, then rumble strips should considered as an additional measure. Commentary: Warning signs were deleted because stops signs were determined to be 7 preferred alternative. Rumble strips are to be considered at a later date if necessary. 4. Monument entry signs at the Lake Oswego/West Linn City limits that inform people that they are entering a recreational area 5. length. The amount of new asphalt should be minimized. A walking pathway is appropriate only on some sections of the road. The preference is to provide the walker an opportunity to move out of the traffic lane when necessary. If it is necessary for pedestrians to cross the road, then the crossing should occur at pinch points on an elevated "pedestrian table." Commentary: The above statement recognizes the lack of consensus on the issue of a pathway. However it does acknowledge the need for pedestrians to get off the road if necessary. Further, the statement recognizes the condition of development approval for Mary's Woods that a pathway be constructed along the road adjacent to the Sister's of the Holy Names property. 7. Pavement management (overlays) and drainage improvements are required in conjunction with installation of traffic management devices eenstfaetien and improvements to address pedestrian safety. 8. Tree preservation is essential and where possible, native landscaping particularly, tree planting should occur within the right-of-way and be sensitive to the views of area residents and walkers. Commentary: It was decided that school hits steps are net that dangefous. The statement was deleted 10. Fix damaged and deteriorated guard rails and replace where possible with more aesthetic barriers consistent with the natural character of the area. Commentary: This statement recognizes the groups desire to improve the aesthetics of the area. Category 1, Traffic and Safety City Policy and Management Measures 1. Old River Road and its right-of-way should be designated as recreational resources, such as a linear walking park and managed to ensure the safety of recreational users and quality of life of area residents. 8 Z•9°.7 2. A law/regulation enforcement effort and ongoing public safety education effort should be developed and implemented germane to the road and the types of uses it receives, especially if it is designated as a recreational resource (linear park). Commentary: This statement reflects the group's discussion about neighborhood notice to drive safe on the road, especially during summer months. 3. Allow temporary closures for short special events. , Vie. Commentary: This statement reflects the decision that road closure should be a special event issue and the road should not be closed otherwise. CATEGORY 2: ENVIRONMENT AND AESTHETICS FINDING(S) 1. Glenmorrie Drive and especially Old River Road and their right-of-ways exist within a complex and highly regulated natural environment, including the Willamette River Greenway. Commentary: The group desires that the Willamette River Greenway be specifically referenced. 2. Aesthetics and environmental quality are very important to those who live along these roads and to all other users. SOLUTIONS Category 2, Environment and Aesthetics Design Solutions 1 . Maintain the "country lane quality/rural street quality of the road by ensuring that the amount of new hard surface (asphalt) for pathways is the minimum necessary to address the above conflicts between automobiles and other users. 2. Improve the appearance of the sewer pump station at the intersection of Glenmorrie and Old River Road. Category 2, Environment and Aesthetics City Policy and Management Measures 1. Ensure that all future improvements are designed consistent with the City's public improvement design guidelines and with all applicable City, state and federal regulations. 9 2. Work with all property owners, especially the major landholders, Sisters of the Holy Names and Marylhurst University to enhancement the natural resources of the Willamette River Greenway and protect native plants and wildlife. 3. Enforce the Municipal Code relating to the storage or vehicles, boats and equipment and other items within the public right-of-way. 4. Educate the public regarding living and recreating within the Willamette River Greenway. CATEGORY 3 -RECREATION AND SCENIC QUALITY FINDINGS 1 . Provide a park-like experience for walkers. However, this *en~~ need., to be de fned with special concern given to property owners' to address concerns about congregation and security. 2. The use of Old River Road changes character during different times of the day. During weekday a.m. and p.m. travel peak it is a potential hazard for pedestrians. During low traffic times it is a pleasant walking experience. 3. Parts of the right-of-way are also people's yards. Some landscape encroachments have occurred. SOLUTIONS: Category 3, Recreation and Scenic Quality Design Solutions 1. Design the-pathwayall improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. 2. Future maintenance and improvements to Old River and Glenmorrie Drive should seek to minimize disturbance of established yards and landscaping. 3. Do not install streetlights or other lighting along Old River Road. Category 3, Recreation and Scenic Quality City Policy and Management Measures 1. Many of the same City policy and management measures that are applicable to the above categories are also applicable to Category 3. CATEGORY- SECURITY FINDINGS io 1. The ability to park on the road's shoulders poses security problems, because of drinking parties and a few burglaries. This situation also results in littering and destruction of natural resources because of fires and trampling. 2. In particular, car access to the wide spot at the Glenmorrie/Old River Road intersection, along the Sisters, of the Holy Names property, and at the West Linn City limits are problems. Commentary: All of the above locations need to be recognized as problem areas. 3. The presence of a large older population at the future Mary's Woods project (Sisters of the Holy Names) poses special security issues/concerns. SOLUTIONS: Category 4, Security Design Solutions 1. Install glfails-er--ether aesthetic barriers in locations to prevent parking along the road's shoulder in those locations identified to be problems. 2. install Judiciously utilize signage that is aesthetic and creative that states laws are enforced pertaining to trespass, blocking driveways, dumping garbage, etc. 3. As above, design-the-pay all improvements and any associated amenities, if possible, to address neighborhood concerns about congregation and security. 4. Involve the neighborhoods in an active program to promote driving safety and to report any unauthorized access to private property. Commentary: The above recognizes the need for aesthetics and the role of the neighborhood in promoting public safety. Category 4, Recreation and Scenic Quality City Policy and Management Measures 1. Enforce the law at every opportunity to address security issues such as trespass. 2 Inotit„te and closing hours for_the_road_ Commentary: Deletion of this statement is consistent with the group's position that the road not be closed.
