DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
On February 4, 2008 the Council was presented with the EmX 30% Plans corridor
review to highlight the proposed treatment of issues including but not limited to
impacts to private properties, loss of on-street parking, and changes to the Pioneer
Parkway and International Way corridors.
Due to time constraints a number of issues were not reviewed with Council and will
be addressed at this meeting, and possibly at one or more additional meetings as
necessary. The issues not yet covered include project betterments to mitigate
corridor wide operational impacts, signal operations and intersection designs, sight
distance concerns at International Way/ Sports Way, mid-block station locations
and treatment for pedestrians at these locations, and construction phasing. ODOT
project issues to be addressed include the IGA between ODOT and LTD, access
management, lane geometries and widths, and bike lane connectivity. Please see
Attachment A to this AIS for a list of the issues indicating what was covered on
2/4/08, and what remains to be covered. Please also refer to the AIS packet from
2/4/2008 for description of the issues, maps, and other graphics.
Staff will pick up the discussion by quickly summarizing the issues addressed at the
meeting on 2/4/08 and addressing any questions, before moving on to discuss
project betterments, the balance of engineering issues and ODOT issues.
Next steps will be for LTD to submit 70% Plans to staff, iron out any final details,
and then prepare a 100% Plan Set for City PIP approval. Following PIP approval
by the City Engineer, the project would begin construction. Construction is
anticipated to occur in 2009 and 2010.
