Welcome to the work session of the City Council on August 24, 2026. We will start with a discussion on the study of train crossings, the 12th Sherwood.
Good evening. We have a lot to share with you tonight. And for the recording, I am Mike McCarthy, City Engineer.
Abby McPitty, Technical Assistant.
And this is Mark Pitorak from Kittosun and Associates. He is a project manager and his team has done a lot of great work behind the scenes. And he will share with us about all the amazing work they have done.
Okay, good evening everyone.
Let's see if we can display the slide presentation.
Please, I don't think we need all the time allocated, so if you want to stop me from asking, please. Many of these are in your document packet. We will go straight to, allow me to see the agenda for a moment. So I will give a project record. Why did we do this project from the beginning? What do we want to achieve in it? And then we will discuss the alternative process. I will not discuss the 17 alternatives in detail. We will go through this part. If you want to return to one of them, we can definitely start. However, we will see the three most promising, then delve deeper into the three of them, and then discuss the next step from there. So, the bonus of the road is an important part of this city, but also serves as a gateway to the east-west and north-south crossroads, and presents many obstacles at this time, but also has the opportunity to open up opportunities for reconstruction in the core area, as well as increase safety and operational related interactions with the Portland-Western train line. We will discuss it further, but as an introduction, our study area is located between 90 Thief and Martinezi on Tualatin-Sherwood Road, as well as the south-eastern between Nyberg and Warm Springs on Boone's Ferry. Overall, we started this project last winter. We had our first meeting with the council around February. And then we did a lot of interaction with the community and our advisory committee at the beginning of the hot season with our design session. Now we have evaluated the alternatives and narrowed it down to the most promising option, which we will discuss tonight. After that, we will ask for guidance from the council, but the hope is to get alternative options to be documented, then brought back to be adopted into the city's transportation system. As a summary, there are six goals that we want to achieve, which is to increase safety, and we will discuss it further. This comfort of life is related to the ability to interact, especially from the perspective of pedestrians and cyclists, as well as how to unite communities. Peck, Loughlin, and Sherwood can be a barrier to the north-south. The train and bus route can be a barrier to the east-west. So how can we make it a little more interesting? Multimodal is the same thing as connectivity, less facilities, and less comfortable facilities, such as wide-routes trottoirs, multi-use lanes, or separate bicycle lanes. Or bicycle lanes in general, because once you arrive at Buns Ferry to the east, the bicycle lane disappears. So if you try to cross the I-5, there are several gaps in the system. Anyone who passes through the corridor knows that there are many crosswalks, many lights, crosswalks, and trains that pass, so it affects the timing. Tonight, when I came, I felt the time needed from stopping on the toll road to passing the Boons Ferry in about 6 minutes. Not too long ago, it was average. However, it still takes time and will continue to increase because of the dependence on the Sherwood Toilet. Not only Melayani Kota, but also Oregon 99 to Newburgh and McMinnville provide the main connection. Community development, we want to have the ability to rebuild and fulfill the core goals, so what is the role of this in it? The last thing is, is this worth doing? Is the impact too big? Can we really develop? We will discuss more tonight. Then, how much is the cost? And how do we get the funding? So, those are the six areas of focus that we want to start. Just to summarize the main operational issues, I think everyone understands, yes, I wait there, sometimes I wait there for quite a long time. The train departs from Boons Ferry, passes Martinazi and goes the other way. We also have safety issues, both at the Ipulina and 12th East Sherwood, Boons Ferry and 12th East Sherwood, as well as Boons Ferry and Warm Springs. The allocation is identified in the SPY list, namely the priority index allocation of safety at the regional level and the ODOT list, so there are more accidents in those facilities than we want. So, we are looking for ways to overcome it and also increase the number of bicycle facilities that are not available at the moment, as well as increasing the continuity overall for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles in general. So before I continue, is there a question about the reason why we are doing this project and what we want to achieve? All right. So I want to invite you back to the past. We held a workshop in June, where we involved the project advisory committee. We asked for input from the city council and we also invited people to understand this problem, then design a potential solution. There was a lot of participation in the event and gave us a lot of different ideas. From there, we also get input about the specific goals. So you can see the development of the society, the welfare of the poor, and the safety at a high level. However, all of them get some input from the point of view of the government. Then, which alternative do they really think should be continued? And I think there are many confessions that the road above the rail has a lot of potential, and maintaining the improvement of the world system also has potential. But to walk under the rail and the rail below, I think people realize and the city council realizes that there are many obstacles that must be overcome. So you don't see many positive opinions about the alternative solution. So from there, we came out of the box, namely analyzing the existing conditions, defining the whole scenario, then developing the alternative. We ended up with 17 alternatives, evaluating them until we reached the most promising. And earlier I said 3, but you will see in a moment that the number is actually 6, because in order to be built, we have to make a kind of sub-scenario from each. So we're going to talk about that a little bit. And now we're moving to the blue part, getting input from you, MUA, as well as our advisory committee and others. Then we will conduct virtual open house activities here in the fall season. Then, based on that input, return to the alternatives recommended and switch to implementation plans as the first step. Do we want to adopt it into the transportation system plan or not? So, the alternatives that we're going to look at tonight are 17 alternatives. You can see Scenario 1, which is the road above the rail. There are a number of alternatives, maybe the most of them are there. Scenario 2 is the road below the ground, just a little bit more. Then we have the rail above and the rail below. Both have some fatal weaknesses that we discussed earlier. And we have Scenario 5, which is a one-way solution. So, it can withstand crossings, but it can also widen the road. Then other potential concepts appear, such as road improvement, South 9 connector to I5. We have seen it historically and it is actually outside the scope of this project, but we want to note that these options appeared when we went through it. So I will open this remaining slide in a flash, but the 17th alternative is here and we will go through it all because it is already in your package. But if you want to go back, we can always discuss it. But let's get straight to the point. So, out of the five scenarios and alternatives that are suggested, all of them are failed or omitted because of various reasons. For example, because it does not meet the goals and needs, does not solve the safety problem, causes more problems than the solution, or maybe there is a construction problem or permission that makes it unsuitable as the last alternative. So what's left for us is three, namely alternative 1A1 to maintain local connection and we will see it in this area. So this makes Tualatin Sherwood cross the rail and has access to the right entrance and exit as a connection. We will see it again in a moment. The second one, which does not meet all the goals and needs, as well as all the targets, but helps a lot and leads there, is Alternative 2A1, which is the same as 1A1, but this passes under rail, and we will discuss additional construction costs and difficulties related to that. Then Alternative 5A, which is Toilet in Sherwood, based on the toll road to about 89, which is 6 lanes or 3 lanes in each direction, so adding 1 lane. Yes, that answers a few things, but once again, it has not overcome the crossing of the train, because it is still parallel, and also does not overcome all capacity issues. But at least this is a positive step compared to what is currently happening. So, let's discuss the three options in detail and what we learned when exploring it. So, I said there were three, but later you will see that the three that are developing into six. So, there is an improvement that exists now, which is to build a new road at this time in Tualatin Sherwood Road or Mengeser. Tualatin Sherwood Road to the south and build it outside the road by taking some properties there. The same thing happens for the following options. Then, we have a scenario for the six-track festival, a full festival, or part of it, which is the initial step, and we will discuss the alternatives. So, this is the most promising of the 17 options. So, from 17 to 3, then back to 6, and we will discuss it now. So the first one, and I will show it on the screen for those who are here. This is basically building a slope bridge, so roughly at the hotel location, we start to climb, we make a bridge, then go down and connect to the eighth road in that scenario, and we make a separation of a section from Boons Ferry and the train rail.
So I want to show it visually to you.
And this is what it looks like in 3D rendering. So what we do is, in the signal location heading to the hotel right now, we delete that signal and replace it with access to the right on this side. Then here we make another access and exit. So if you come from Jalan Bebas Hambatan and want to go south to Allen and Sherwood, you come here, turn right here, turn left, then down. If you come from the north or south and want to enter, you can go up to Warm Springs or Tonka, cross, or actually you cross through Warm Springs, enter here, then turn right. So, the access is still full, but what you do is remove the intersection of the train, remove the signal at Bunz, and also remove the signal here. So, you remove two signals and one intersection of the train by lifting that road and creating an indirect connection. And we will discuss more about this scenario. The problem here is, if I can use a magic wand and everything immediately appears, that's good. But we have to build it. So what have you done during construction? We have considered a number of alternatives. The best way is to cover half of Sherwood Toilet Road, build a bridge, build everything, then cover half of it again, and build the rest. And you must be wondering, then what happens between them? Sherwood Toilet Road only has one route in each direction for about 18 months. You may not want to go or live here for 18 months because it will cause traffic jams to the toll roads and everywhere. So, we decided that it was not the right choice, because the impact was too much for business and the general public. So, building it in the current location is not a practical alternative. Then we ask, what else can we do? Another option we can do is to cross the route to the south, and we have discussed this a little before. The route goes through a number of properties, McDonald's restaurants, Mexican restaurants, banks, and automotive locations. So there is an impact there. However, everything can be built separately, faster, cheaper, and the passageway in Old Sherwood remains smooth throughout the work. After completion, we move the passageway and we have land that can be sold for development. So the alternative looks like this, similar to what we discussed earlier. We remove the traffic lights here. We make access to the right and exit on this side. And on this side, we make access to the right and exit, then we add an airport here, and an airport there, and an airport there. You may ask, Mark, why do we need that airport? The system is related to each other. Right now, if you pass here, line up, and turn left, it is the fastest time to get down, then to the south on the bonus ferry. If we make it too far, let's say we move the line, so we push everything, then cross to Nyberg, then cross and down, that adds up to time. The effect is that people will look for another way. They try through Martinazi, which actually has a bad impact on Martinazi. And you don't get any benefit from this solution. So this platform works so that you can pass here, there is a free movement there and here and actually only adds about 5 seconds because it always flows smoothly, you don't need to wait for the light then pass. So this is able to maintain the advantage of time travel and prevent people from using Martinazi to go south. They have to go there. So once again, to see how it works, if you come from Jalan Bebas Sambatan, you turn right, left, left, and to the south. If you come from the north, you pass below, you turn here, then come here, and then go straight. If you come from Sherwood and want to go to the south or north, you turn here, go back, then go to the north. If you want to go to the south, you come here, here, then go to the south. So, that gives some benefits. First, the improvement that we talked about, we remove the rail. We can shorten and improve the facility of bicycles and pedestrians along Boone's Ferry Road because we don't need a full width for the roundabout. We can add a separate bicycle lane along both sides here. And for bicycles and pedestrians, you can walk north-south down here without having to deal with the barrier blocked by Sherwood Road. Of course, there are fees that must be issued, and we will discuss that in a moment. Clearly, there is an impact on the property, but in terms of operational safety and all the benefits that we want to achieve, we can build it, develop it, we can eliminate the safety, capacity, and connectivity problems in that scenario. The next scenario is basically the same, but it passes below. So, if previously we passed above, now we pass below. Passing through Bobbins Ferry and Sherwood Toilet We can only install a cover here and we have to make a connection at the top And I didn't mention this before, but because we have crossed the road to the south Long-term connection to Sherwood Road and Deponi 9 can't be used So we have to direct it through to Sebrang and then back out to Saint Peter So allow me to go back to the previous slide The same thing happens here We have to do all the industrial areas here at the moment comes from this direction, comes out and turns here, will pass below, then will come this way, or back to the lamp, then this passage. And that's because we have to move it to the south. So that's one of the changes in the circulation, then the passage. Most of this is an industrial area, so it's not a comfortable place to stop. It's not like Starbucks or anything, but we still have to provide connectivity from that point of view. So, do we have more? Or let's go back to it. We have a sidewalk and an underground road. And those are the solutions. Once again, we have to dismantle about six buildings on the south side so that it can be built. But we can still maintain the Sherwood Toilet operating when we do it. And once it's open, we can do it. In this scenario, The reason why the levels are not the same is because when you ride down here, you still have to deal with the train rails. You can't just say, oh, the road will be closed for months. The fastest time we can do is about three or four days. We have to close the train tracks and build a bridge in place for that. There is a construction method for doing it. And it's more expensive. And like we said before, the concern is whether we can fix it. Can we take care of it and prevent the flood from entering there? So that's why this alternative doesn't reach the same level as the others in its overall performance. And we'll be back there. So the last one basically starts from here in Fred Meyer and Cabelas, which is the expansion of six lanes. So you basically add the third lane along this side to the 90th street. Then when we come back, we do the same thing with what we have. We still have a one-way intersection. We do a few things here to increase safety. We are very close to these buildings, but we think we can cross the road to the north so that it doesn't have too much impact on this property. This one gets some benefits, but some safety problems on the eighth road, Pumpluns and Buns, are still there because you will have a share of land there. You will still have a lamp, then cross to the hotel, So you basically give additional capacity by adding a bike lane that is not yet available, but you will not fully meet the operational standards 20 years from now. So this is the right direction. The cost will be cheaper and we will discuss it in a moment, but that is the next step. And the last scenario, which may be to defend Twelves and Sherwood as they are, and do a little improvement on Boons Ferry to provide two left lanes to the south, as well as a little increase in safety, on the south side here. Well, that's just a small step from that point of view, but that is a slightly better minimal effort than not building anything. All right, so this is the sixth lane. And here, as you can see in your document, this is just a graphic that shows how it works. Before we move on from this map, I have a few questions about that.
When we look at it from the perspective of added speed, So, if you have to, I mean, the biggest concern is if the train adds one more mile. The length.
The length.
So that's twice as much as it is now, right?
Yes.
And we've seen what happens when closing the route for three days only. So, if in the end we have to move it and we have built this road, Do we have an estimate of the cost in the future? Not only because of delaying major work, but also increasing the cost of roads that will eventually be dismantled.
Yes, good question and maybe some of the slides that we will see later will answer some of them. Oh, member of the council, Brooks. Member of the council. Om, in my opinion, as a member of the council, at least my advice is that you have to choose this alternative if you are going to take this path, you have to be committed and that's all we do and we will not go back to doing other things. If you want that vision to be realized, then there you have to go. You don't need to do it step by step because this cost is added to that cost. You will never achieve it. Just achieving it is already quite difficult, so you don't need to do it step by step. You just need to hold on to what you have, then you turn to your main solution.
And is there any other reason why we can't connect to the Latin Role? That's a very good question.
So, let's go back to this graph. So, this is where we move. The road to the south. And the question is, can we use this for something? The problem is, this road starts to lead to the south. Then, if it is extended, and redirected back will cause some problems. One of them is this road about additional property. This makes the McDonald's property covered, and we don't want to have additional entrance roads along the area. So, this property will be covered if we try to use a long route for a new highway.
My last question is about Bundaran-Lalu-Rintas. One of the concerns that we often receive from Jeff Fox is that the distance is quite between the points, so that there is no vehicle collision.
Yes, that's a good question. So, this is the explanation in a more concise way to answer that question. We have an additional slide here, then the slide is connected here. Well, for example, when leaving I-5, If for some reason there is a collision, which in reality will not happen, this lane will be a special right turn lane that leads there. When you get here, the lane from this direction will mainly turn right to go out towards the main lane. There will be a little lane that goes into the hotel, but you will have the right of way because you will come from here. The lane in the tunnel will be very small, so you will go around and turn left. So at that point we feel there will be no obstacle. Then when you get out, you will have the right to drive the vehicle from the south, because vehicles in the airport are always preceded. So you have to compete with vehicles from the north, even though the number is not too much. Most of the vehicles that go north will come here and go there. The number of proper crosswalks to the north towards the settlement is not much. So the delay at these two points will be very limited. And that's why we don't see any effect at all. You're right. With a bus, we have to make sure there is no traffic jam. And we have already conducted tests to make sure that doesn't happen here. Then my last question is related to the addition of buses.
Do you think people will go earlier if they want to go to the city center? Do you see people leaving earlier to avoid entering that area? I mean leaving the hotel.
Oh, you mean if they leave the place around here? It seems not, because you can turn to the side or you can turn here and go through the parking area. Here you have to remember that there is no signal anymore, so you will go through here, turn right here, then turn right. So the time may be shorter than now because now you come to wait for this signal and wait on the train rail. More often than usual, the distance is indeed a little further, but only 10-15 seconds away. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
I just want to do it before there is no more questions. We can discuss it again later. Before we move on to the budget, can we talk a little bit about the additional time I'm worried about schools in the industry, TVF, and ours. Can you explain that scenario to us? That's one question, I think. And the other is, many concerns that I appreciate are about safety, of course. But people also care about time. So, can you help us or help me to better understand the impact of time, both positive and negative? Thank you.
There are a few things. The way the line is big. And I think we all know, if you are on the I-5 and the lane really stops, you must be frustrated. But if the vehicle is going at a speed of 20 miles per hour, you feel okay, we're fine. On Tualatin Sherwood Road right now, you often have to stop totally. In this scenario, Tualatin Sherwood Road, at least between Fred Meyer and 920, the lane will be smoother. However, when we reach one end or the other, we will create an obstacle. It will be our new obstacle for a large part of the vehicle. So, from that perspective, people will feel, hey, I move faster. Now, your question, Dewan Hillier, about the change in the scenario of various quadrants. So, let's see, we will look around. Here, at the Lama Hagen location, they will see some changes. So access here is direct access. Right in the middle of this first building, you will be 15 feet above the air, so there is no direct access. So you have to go down, turn around here, and back to these buildings. You will see it, of course, when you pass by, but you will have a little more time there. When you leave, people here, they may still come out here because they know they can go down quickly and turn around here, or they may turn around. But right now, they have to turn around here. Often, they can go out here, but they have to wait in the light, then walk. So for them, from that point of view, maybe the result is impactful. Businesses that we have to move here, like Dutch Bros, and so on, are all commercial businesses. And if they are still here, I will have concerns because they are very, you know, you go to Dutch, you don't just pass by, you might stop by Dutch Bros. Businesses back here, You come there especially to work. Of course there is a little commercial activity behind there, but most of it is industrial work. So you come there once a day and go home from there once a day. They are not on the road. Right now you go down and turn around behind the line and then enter. Here you have to go down, come here, go back and turn. You may add 10-15 seconds to the route of the journey from that point of view. And when you go, depending on where you go, when you go, you will go out and you may go up and turn this way because now you have, you know, right now you can't turn, you can turn right near Dutch Bros, but it's difficult to turn right, then enter the left turn lane and go there. So you will open several other lanes that you previously did not choose. But in general, there will be a little extra travel time here. This side may be the same, or even better, because you think these people now have direct access that they did not have before. And to go to Walton Sherwood, they can come here. This is an extra lane, so you know, even though they have to give way, they will only enter and join the extra right lane there. So it will be a little faster if you come from the south, from the housing area in the morning to leave for work, it will be faster from that point of view. If you go to the north, no matter where, it will be faster. One thing that will be a little slower is when you cross the horse track and come this way. But they still have to wait for the traffic light and still have to wait for the train. In this scenario, the train is no longer counted in all of these scenarios.
I just want to make sure, where is the fire extinguisher post?
And Mitch, can you, I mean, does it pass through San Pul?
I don't remember. That's the design of the place that now has the potential to be very
So in the end, you have a traffic light. And what I'm saying is that the traffic light, because it will be a new obstacle, that's where people will experience traffic jams. There, the fire extinguisher unit has a traffic light priority, so they can pass it smoothly. But yes, the traffic light will remain as it is. Only because there is no traffic light here, there is no traffic light here, that's where people start to slow down again.
On that page, I have two questions. My first question is, where do you place the building? If I'm not mistaken, it is currently owned by the private sector. And my other question, you said something about 15 feet, but isn't it that we have to be higher than two train tracks? How high is that actually?
So when I say that, this is the access, the access to what is Carl's Jr. At that point, we will reach our feet. At this point, we have to go up 23 feet. So we are on the way down when we reach that access point. So let's go back. So this is a summary that we have discussed. We have discussed with the staff about how to evaluate these things. And to make it simple, you know green is good, gray means there is no change. For example, without development, nothing changes. The condition is just bad. For the existing arrangement, you see a lot of green, but the problem of construction becomes the main weakness. It really can't be built. Next, which we have often discussed, this option has many advantages. One thing is the development of the community, we break business and regulate everything. So that's the negative side, but we still fulfill all other goals. For the rail route option below, we are still worried about flooding. We are also concerned about the ability to build bridges. The new rail to Walton-Sherwood and the impact of its construction are also worrying. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I So this option has two impacts, one of which has one impact. This impact is that we can't build it without closing or tightening tolls and sugar lanes into two lanes for 18 months in that scenario. Then for the 8-grade 6-lane option, There is still a gap in traffic lights, crossings, and crossings along the road. So we can do something, but it will not bring changes, meaning the comfort of life is less good. Now we add another lane to cross, so the obstacle is getting bigger. For multimodal mobility, we provide a versatile lane on both sides. So that's a benefit. the ability to develop the community has increased, we have discussed it. Then there are impacts, when we start to build, that's what it's all about. There are also impacts during the construction process. So these are some of the benefits, but not all of them. And for additional partial improvements, two left turns to the south, you don't really change much in that scenario. There is a little positive progress, but not much. All right, now we turn to the cost. We are still at a very common stage here. I mean, we are directly facing the impact of land. At this time, our design is still very conceptual at the level of 10%. That's why we use a line. There are many unexpected factors and approaches that we want to do. So we don't want to call numbers and claim that the result is certain because at this time we don't know. However, when you start to see it, we will discuss the existing provisions. Are we willing to move to Alton Sherwood for 18 months? Of course it is cheaper. The reason why it is cheaper than moving to the south is because we do not need to take 6 properties in the south. So, 6 properties, once again, are still in the range, but it has the potential to increase the land cost by at least 35 million from the scenario. So that's why there is a difference in the range for that matter. For the underground scenario, we do more mining, the difficulty level is higher, and the risk is higher, so the cost goes up. So you can see the southern border, we have 150 for the top option. For the underground option, we start from 170 to 320. So that has a high risk, and that's why the range is higher. Then for the 6-lane highway, the cost is relatively low, around 20 to 45 million, assuming we can pass it without having to build anything that we have walked through several times and we feel we can manage it. We will take a little land, the impact is not too big. Most of it is the increase in the crossing of the train and a little land as well as the construction of the road along the scenario. So it's much cheaper, but you don't get the full benefit of what we want to achieve in this process. As a summary, we have the following advisory committee on September 8 and then the virtual open house to get admission on September 2nd. Then we go back to the Planning Commission and all of you, and assuming that we are ready to continue this to the adoption process, then we will hold a joint session of the Planning Commission and the City Council to state that this is the vision of the choice that we want to see in the future. So, you have a choice to do nothing or choose one of the alternatives as a guide that we want to take.
Do you want to make an entry and our opinion today, or are you just giving a presentation? I leave it to Mike to answer.
So we think today, we will only highlight the results, then give you time to think about it, because this is a pretty big decision. Initially, when we organized this encirclement, I thought there would be more options for separation, a suitable path. So I was surprised because there are many options that form a fatal obstacle on one side or the other. In my opinion, the result that I see is the shadow road option, which is delivered by Mark with the connection. And I think the cost is around Rp. 150 million in that range.
Then there is the road expansion option, which is between Rp.
20-45 million, but does not separate the route. still leaves a lot of safety issues behind. And then, a small improvement solution such as adding a long-distance railway in Bunsen. That may be done and will be useful, but the cost is still several million dollars. So that's the main point. Kami ingin memberikan informasi terbaru tentang apa yang kami temukan di lapangan. Awalnya saya pikir kita akan punya empat atau lima opsi pemisahan jalur untuk dibahas, lalu mengerucutkannya menjadi tiga untuk dibawa ke open house virtual. Analisis teknis sepertinya telah menentukan pilihan tersebut untuk kita.
I don't like to say it, but I've been thinking about it for a long time and it's only been a week. Then I thought, if we make improvements on the road, if we can add a bicycle bridge, a pedestrian bridge to 12 Sherwood, it can solve a lot of safety problems.
At least it will solve the problem of bicycle cars. I feel a lot of safety issues involve people who hit the back of the train lines and accidents at the intersection, and so on.
Yes, what is difficult for me is that the main thing you get in is the development of society. None of them meet those criteria, so it stops. That's it. I'm curious about the time projection, because I know Sherwood has the ability to do development. So, I'm just asking when we discuss this as a problem that we face, how long one of these, I mean, seems like we have something that we can try to fund, which we may not be able to fund, and we will have Plan B. However, even with that, I'm just asking how long the impact of Plan B will make a difference compared to the full scale. And my other question is, the longer we wait, and this is a problem that I have with all the countries in this region, because I am from Detroit. However, the longer we wait and have all the personal property that we have to handle in every conversation, transportation at the end, not at the beginning, whether we have more complications or less. Then I also kept thinking about how to use it from many things and how the area is connected in the back, it seems very difficult to access. So I asked myself, are there any other solutions related to the need to return to the area where the old Stewart Road is located?
Yes, there are a lot of good questions. Matt, can you explain a little about the model?
So, when we look at the next 20 years, we see the population and workplaces throughout the metro area and outside the metro area, so McMinnville and all of that is combined. So the alternative is, you know, what people prefer, which is 135 to 250. That means that part of the road can operate as you want it to in 20 years. Now, in the 90's and every other 90's, they will operate and hunt except for other things that are done there. So you always have to talk about this, like the pipe theory. If I install a 6-inch pipe and flow to a 4-inch pipe, I can flow a little more water in that part, but when it reaches a 4-inch pipe, I can't flow more than a day. So that is the part that you have to balance, which is, okay, this will change the barrier, then pass. This will spread some things to the north-south. This will do all that, but from the direction of 90 west, we do not change anything. And it will continue to be bad. Now, it doesn't feel too bad because you arrived at Bunsperi, and there is the traffic jam, then you continue it again. After all this, the traffic will move to Sainte-Pierre because it will be a new obstacle, then you will continue there. So that's the first part. But I think your bigger question, and we've had time to discuss it, is what is the alternative? Historically, as an area, we have seen a lot of options. We used to have a plan, West Side Bypass. Politically, we decided no, we will not do it. We have a plan, Toiletin Connector, 99 Connector. We have already started that process and decided no, we will not do it again. So now we are trapped with the system that exists today. We have built it and that is why you are in a dilemma where there is no perfect answer, but this is a solution for the city center and comfort of life. The question is, is this investment what you want or do you want to let it go and realize that its condition will continue to deteriorate?
And as a continuation, if you, because you will still face problems across the city, but... I mean, if you don't do repairs on busy roads, I used to live near Chicago. I know what it feels like. There are songs about traffic jams, and those are blues songs. So I'm curious if the road network can still hold on.
You all know your own transportation system, but between I-99 and I-5, there is only a little connection. And you all actually only have, yes, you have about two. From the point of view of panic. So that's a good question. The issue of funding and maybe to conclude it, many people see this number and say, yes, we will never be able to do that. Yes, yes. However, there are a few things that benefit you. This is a Latin old man's problem, but also a regional problem. I just talked about how much it was. Right now at I-5, I have stopped and the line has been about a thousand feet before the door enters the toll. One day, the line will continue to extend back and that creates a safety problem. So ODOTE will eventually be involved in finding a way to reduce the line. You also have a railway line. They don't like the presence of a road crossing. So, in order to pursue the goal of eliminating the railway crossing, you will get the support there. So, there are things that can reach this stage. The question is, is that the direction that you want to aim for as a community and make it a result or stay with what you have now or other scenarios that we have discussed? And is there a good answer? No, but the situation will get worse.
The situation will be much worse.
Thank you. This project is still very interested in getting funding for the removal of the railway crossing, because this is one of the busiest railway crossings around here, especially if you combine the number, then cross the car, truck, and train. The railway side has identified the problem here and wants us to do something like this. As far as the capacity of the future is concerned, in my opinion, the option of road expansion at this time of crossing the Buns Ferry train is the point of the traffic jam. And the option of road expansion may bring this area to the capacity around the Martinazi Bridge and the change of free road. So it will bring us to that level. But is that level enough to wait for the development of the entire Brockwood-Cherwood area? And we know how big Newburgh and McMinnville will grow. So, that's about it. Your position later. I think there is a big question.
That's what really makes me interested, because if that's the question we're facing to understand how long it will last, then we can calculate it, especially if there is not always federal funds for the crossing of the train anywhere. So, no matter what, I don't know if this is an opportunity that will always be there for us and I just want to know how long the improvement will last with the projection of an increase in the full-scale Sherwood for the metro. That really becomes the main priority for me.
Yes, and in response to the previous comment, in my opinion, we can see how much additional cost to add a bridge for crossing footpaths and bicycles above Duabut and Sherwood, as in the concept of the festival. That is one of the projects with the highest ranking in our PSP when we did a survey a year or two years ago.
Can you define or share some data if this is a major safety problem? What does it actually mean?
So the safety problems that you have in those three categories are 89th and Tuwabas and Sherwood, Boons and Tuwabas and Sherwood, then Boons and Warm Springs. It's all in the business list in the safety news. Basically, they fall within 10% of the accident location that we have. So that's what we pay attention to. Washington County looks at all of their areas, and those three discussions are included in the top 10%. So that's what we're looking for there.
Does that mean three accidents a day? Does that mean one accident a week? Have we ever... We have the data. Do you know what I mean? I'm just trying to understand if we choose to disturb the transit route for 10 years in the center of Tualatin City, or 18 months, or whatever, I'm just trying to understand the analysis of the cost-benefit. So, I mean, okay.
Regarding the accident, accident records, in Tualatin, Sherwood, and Lapin, Fulinine, From my observation, it seems that many people hit the back of the queue, then passed through Boone's Ferry, and the queue then passed by. The queue happened to be around Lappinans, and I felt the same thing happened at the Worm Springs intersection, which is the entrance from the Boone's Toilet in Sherwood to the Boone's Springs intersection. And then the Toilet in Boone's Ferry intersection before we started doing it. This analysis is always in the 10 worst positions in Washington County. So that's the main reason we started to inspect it. The accident report has actually improved a little over the past few years based on the data we have now. But in my opinion, the accident report will still be used. And you know that's quite significant. I think it's very interesting. Uh, we haven't seen, I think, we've never seen an accident involving a train. We've seen a few accidents where people end up in a train because they turn left from the Sherwood Toilet to the farm after they get off the highway and end up on the rail. So, it's very worrying for the passengers.
Look, you have the current accident data, we have the data that we can share with you. We also have an unsafe environmental perception, so you do not have a bicycle or pedestrian or other people entering the area, which of course you want for economic development. So you get two benefits from that point of view, but we can certainly support you. And talking about economic benefits, I know we are in the middle of the core area vision process.
Does this, one of these decisions, I mean, feel like putting a train in front of a horse because we don't know what the results will be like? And if we, if the decision in December to continue with one of these things, does it potentially have a narrow view of causing problems or making them take a direction that they initially did not want for the planning of the core area?
Yes, we are trying to work together with the area planning team through all this and then involve them. So our hope is not to limit that effort with what we do. However, because this is a very big part, there will be an impact.
Because it feels like there are many options, as I think of PAMKIN Rekyata and other things, how Lulintas has to move through the community, I feel comfortable thinking about it compared to the current situation. So, I think that's some of the things I try to think about when I think about it. And can you repeat it again? Do you think the decrease in vehicles, basically, which will only make the right turn, will be the same when they get to the traffic jam on Route 90 near Marnazi? Is that true? I tried to understand if it was because of the cars on the right or choosing the option to go south on Bunce Ferry Route if they left Ilima, right?
Yes, if they go south on Bunce, that's how they do it.
And yes, I mean with the decrease when they were on the road to 90, how big was it?
Yeah, so the number of cars that go to Sherwood on the 90th Street doesn't change significantly. Because they still go to Sherwood. What will happen is that the traffic and traffic jams between Martina Z and road 90 will decrease. Traffic jams will decrease. And the speed of traffic will increase because we have lost two traffic lights, namely at the hotel and at Boone's Etty. And we have simplified the choice. So you will move through there, but in road 90 you will experience a little more traffic jams because that's another point of traffic jams.
And if you remind me, I know you have told us before, but the percentage of crossings that exit from Ilima and head to Sherwood directly through the city, is that about 50% of vehicles? Or...
I have to check the number again, but more towards 70%. Okay, thank you.
And that's the second direction, I think, if I remember correctly. That's a big number. Okay, thank you.
Yes, so you know the time of the journey. You have to think, right now you have to wait at the light, then pass to continue walking or turn left.
But we have balanced most of this, so the car that is currently coming and waiting in line, then turning, the ability to come through here and go there, is about the same. And in some cases it can be faster, because if you come and you get hit by a red light right when it turns red, it will always be faster. And then if you come from another direction and you want to go, eh, let's say you come from the south in the Sherwood toilet when you want to go out to I-5, you will come here, turn left, then you will go out. And this is an additional route, so this is basically a free flow to the right. So it will be a different direction, but it will always be consistent and much more reliable for a tourist. And you keep moving. And that, I think, is a psychological effect. Human. You will always move to Boone's Ferry, where you don't do it today.
I think one of the benefits, then another pathway that I think we haven't discussed yet, is that I think there are quite a few differences between people who avoid Toa Latin Sherwood and Boone's Ferry through this area and use other routes that may not be desired for us in managing the city. Since the area has been completed, we have seen a number of vehicles from Teton Weston to Sherwood, which returned to Sherwood Toilet Road quite significantly, for example from Jalan Tualatin. One of the benefits that I see is that if I pass through Tualatin Sherwood more smoothly, I feel that passing through Buns Ferry, which leads east-west through the city center, can be reduced. So I can see there are several benefits there. It is necessary to know for sure how many will change. I mean, we can make an estimate or estimate, but in my opinion, the number will be quite significant.
I have one question. I'm sorry if I missed this, but we are discussing the improvement of the level of activity. You mentioned earlier that there will be a safety improvement in the railway crossing. What is the safety improvement?
One of the things we will do in this location is to shift the boon field a little further from the intersection. And when we do this expansion, because of the length of the door, we will install a 4-square-meter fence. So there will be a fence on both sides, while now there is only a 3-square-meter fence. This prevents people from going in the wrong direction, which is westward, and prevents people from crossing the rail.
However, if you come from the north and turn left, there is no fence that prevents that from happening.
So we can create a better barrier system. Then for the pedestrians here, you can be trapped between a train and a car. The distance is about 5 feet. So yes, there are a few things related to safety. However, back to Mike's point, there will still be people stopping and that will cause a crash from behind. So this is a small improvement, but that's what we're discussing.
Back to my question. The first thing we haven't discussed today and I want to ask is how many businesses will be demolished? Let's look back here.
Let's see. So when we move from east to west, For Taco Bell, maybe we can fool it so that the drive-thru is still there, but at least that's something we need to worry about. Hmm, we might have to dismantle one or two front parts of this commercial building. Then there is a Mexican restaurant, which is difficult to see here. We have an office building here, McDonald's. Let's see the Suku Cadang Bank and
And my other question is related to, I'm happy to hear you talk to, you know, Sid and the revitalization team of the city center, because I can see where this can be good or bad, like because of that improvement. I wonder what the impact is on our community and its urbanization if we try to make this an enjoyable area to visit. And then that, and also crosswalks, because I know we want a wide area that is comfortable for pedestrians and not really crossed by cars. It looks like it's going to cost a lot of money. But on the other hand, moving that road will give us more space. So that's just my thoughts. Yes, that's right.
There are a lot of value exchanges, Lisa.
Yes, there are a lot.
Yes, you get the advantages of properties here that open up the possibility of reconstruction. One thing, and we haven't been back here in the last few weeks, but one thing that has been done is really attract people to this area. Now you're kind of passing it, or you have to try to pass the parking lot here. So this will bring people here. So if you come from the south toilet, you have to go up to this area. So it's a bit of a distraction for people to at least see it. The other thing is, as you pass this road, you will be able to see this area which is now flat, so you can't see inside. There are pros and cons, but you will get a more visual view of the lake area and things like that. And yes, I also want, I'm sure they are talking to the landowners there and what their thoughts are, because we don't want that to stop our vision either.
Yesu and his team are talking to a lot of land owners. That's good.
And potential developers. Giving us a lot of complicated information to process.
That's why we don't ask for a night decision. That's good. And yes, in my opinion, in the city center, yes, giving you the opportunity to move a little further away from the lake and so on, in my opinion, helps. Placing it on top of the bridge has a harmful effect because you know how it will look.
Reducing the number of crossings that pass, in my opinion, will be very helpful.
I think reducing the stigma of always being stuck in traffic when crossing, in my opinion, I think reducing the number of crossings that cut the road or the central road will help. You know, I used to work for a city near here, where there are a lot of delays. On the national highway, the part that passes, and people will then cut through the center of the city. And some of them, because they can then overtake, pass through the traffic lights. And then, after the problem of the national highway is overcome, even though it is not perfect, but it is much better, it really allows the center of the city to develop. Because thousands of cars a day are no longer passed, like the national highway. Yes, as we discussed, more Umpan Balik will return to you all at the end of September with what we have heard.
And then I think the question at that time was, do you want to continue something and make an opinion about adopting this into your transportation system plan? Or maybe we have learned something and maybe we don't want to continue it. So I think that might be the point of decision where we clearly want to hear from the council at that time.
And one of the other steps, I think we are talking about funding potential. So to reaffirm the option of level separation, you know, will have a good opportunity to get a significant external funding, a vacation at the same level. I don't expect to get federal funding. Maybe it can be a regional project or work with the region, but that will be, you know, another discussion there. Oh, but the level division can get federal funds. The others don't.
I'm a member of Dewan Brooks. Well, as far as I'm concerned. I especially like it when I think about various things. When I think about various things. I thought, okay, what is the main problem? The crossroads. Where is the position for the voters? And then I thought, the concern about the development of layang is the industrial effect. And I'm curious, is there a design option to make it more, more like a community park? a kind of central city gate. For that kind of improvement, if there is a resource from the economic development fund or the park fund, only to mitigate not only the appearance, but also the noise, all the things that happen when you build a bridge. The most beautiful bridge in the world, that's what I want.
I think we've discussed it last time, and I know we're almost out of time. But with this scenario, the question is, what do you do with that long journey? And then we also talked about, you know, this is above the bar. If you want to open it, there are many cities that open it and have, you know, a sports field or a landing park and so on. So there are many parts of it. But in my opinion, the first question is, is this the direction you want to take? And then you start adding other layers because there are many things that we can do. You know, we've talked to the project manager. Are there any linear park elements here that you want to see? Or is it more towards a multi-use or multi-family home that provides accommodation and you can enter the park area? But that's the next step. The question is, do we want to move here? Do we want to move? Do we want to move business by looking at the long-term vision? And if so, then adding all of that is a good question, Dewan Brooks.
Thank you, I appreciate it. And I think it's important when we talk to the community to think about what it will be like, because we are often trapped in difficult points, which is very normal. But if there is an improvement that can really make everything feel far away, it's better for the community in the long run, including so that our community doesn't become a big problem, which I know they hate. Those are things that I think are very important not to be planned, but to be put forward as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, as far as possible, But we're still here for the next agenda.
No, I don't know.
That's why I said we should cut it. So how about the renovation of the Environmental Transportation Safety Program? Alright. Abby will manage this program and she will be our main presenter tonight.
I don't want to click multiple times and make it look like this. So, briefly about tonight's agenda. We will discuss the newly completed project, the project that is underway, and then the 2027 cycle. And fortunately, our presentation should be quite short, so there will be a lot of time for questions. I think we are a bit late, so we will try to finish it as soon as possible. The previous program, the environmental cross-country safety program, was funded by the government and was very popular with the public. So now we have a similar annual program. This is a project that is recommended by the public. And in the version of that program, the environmental transportation safety program, we have completed four projects in about three years. and three of them are displayed on the screen. One of them is the Ibak and Columbia crossings, the increase of the Bundesferry and Ibak signals, then the increase of the Nyberg and Sixpool female signals. And the latest one is the Hazelbrook crossing. So this provides safer crossings, and better than the Greenway section under Highway 99. The additional benefit also includes a decrease in speed, and hopefully a slight decrease in passing. So that's the additional benefit. That's very good.
For projects that are in progress, we see two projects at the moment.
We are still evaluating and looking at the budget a little bit. But one of them is cross-country skiing and the increase in walking distance on the road. As I mentioned, we are still checking it, but it can affect the increase of the brand. The crossing of the Ramproto R, painting, narrowing the view, to slow down the vehicle, the tail of the back of the driver, and the increase of the kind. Then the second is the increase of crossings in Joshua and Fifty Femmes. This one is quite strict. Maybe the increase of the Ramproto R, zebra crossing, and several forms of marking. So we are looking at both of them right now. With all the projects going on, we are a little left behind. So we are still evaluating it and maybe it will be completed in the coming cycle. It depends on the budget and applications in the future. So for the 2026-2027 cycle, there are several reminders. We have Rp150,000 per fiscal year, including design, data collection, construction, everything. That's all we have. We evaluate applications based on the four principles of safety, equality, dignity, and impact. Then the announcement phase is September 2026. And I was very surprised that it was next week. So the official announcement phase will be opened next week and will be held throughout September. So you can expect things like signposts in the surrounding environment, social media posts, and maybe some information on our website about it. So wait for it next week. And after the official announcement phase, we will do an evaluation and design from the peak to the cold season, and ideally construction in the hot season. Then the last point, as I mentioned, official announcement in September, but we still open surveys throughout the year. So, whenever someone has an idea, whenever you walk around the environment and think that this conflict needs to be fixed, you can send it to me.
Or if someone conveys a project idea to you,
So at the end of September, that's what we considered in the evaluation. Then whatever is sent, if someone sends something on October 1, it will be considered in the next cycle. So is the main focus on the crossing or We receive a lot of requests from distributors, right? So that's what we focus on. It can be an increase in accessibility. We can also receive a lot of problems related to speed. So that's quite common. Increase in traffic lights.
It seems that there is something forgotten. Can you cover the short side of the sidewalk? Can you cover a kind of crosswalk with one or the other way to make it safer?
Or like a right turn lane.
Something like that can be created, depending on the size, Rp. 150,000 is for the entire program. And we don't want it to be just one project. This is raw material tax money, so it has to be in the space of the road.
Anything that is slightly smaller than our capital improvement project usually focuses on transportation safety. So, there are many things.
Thank you very much for doing this.
Okay, I have to turn on the camera, okay? So, I received a few requests that I can send. Here in Fox Hills, we have people asking the police to sleep because they feel that people are running when passing through the bend, so they are afraid they will hit the river or they will experience an accident in that area. Can I ask if this is the right time to send the project request and will it be chosen?
Yes, I have the QR code on the last slide. But if you are looking for Latinx NTSB, I think that's what I usually google and it appears, then the survey is known there. So please direct people there. We are trying to direct people to the survey, so I don't need to enter their words in the survey, but if they also want to send an email to us, if they have, you know, accessibility issues or something when accessing the survey, we can include it too. Thank you.
Can we be sent to the survey via email? That's just a reminder that helps and I can keep it in my inbox.
It's really good to have it in your hands. I think I can send an email to Sherilyn and she can continue.
How many projects do you usually receive in a year? So we got 31 in the last cycle.
And that's an addition of, I think, about 200 or 300 that we already have. Then I checked the survey, I remember last week, and I think there are already about 10 or 15 that have entered this year. Unfortunately, the ideal is that we get more during the advertising period.
And if the project is not chosen, do you inform those people, or?
No, we don't do it. In my opinion, the way this survey is organized and the way we communicate it, we are very open. That we receive a lot of mail, But I also try to tell people that even if they don't pass the NTSB, because some of them may be too hard for this program, we feel that this is a very good way to fix things. So let's say we have, you know, I think this is just an example that I made, but we are working on a project called Sings Plain Femme Ferdinand Boland. If someone has concerns there, and I'm the one who manages those two projects, it's very easy for me to say, oh, this is something we can participate in. But we don't tell people.
The reason I'm asking is because I heard about several different projects that people are worried about. One of them, in my opinion, is a very good idea, but I'm almost sure you will tell me why we can't do it. So in that case, I think I can ask Mike directly about it and... Because it will be a great project, but I don't know, there will definitely be, you know how to continue. Mike has many reasons why something is sometimes considered a good idea.
I don't really want to be known for that.
I mean, I really like the style of Sherwood's toilet, and you and Mark don't really like it. True.
I mean, there are other unexpected situations that you know. That's what I like, that you consider all options.
And in my opinion, as far as, yes, it's quite interesting in 2020 when we did the survey, we got, if I remember correctly, 42 suggestions. Because everyone goes out on foot, because that's all they can do. And they walk on foot. Then they use computers. So we got a very large number of suggestions that year. So yes, we can't contact people about that. Some of them are still on the list to be considered. In addition, we often receive many requests that you know are not too according to the program. Do you know some requests such as adding the Ilima theft? Some others are more of an operational improvement, such as dead streetlights. Then we pass it on to the Ministry of Public Works, and they, you know, repair that light and replace it with a new one. Or the Elim. Or things like this, in Tikungan, it makes it difficult to see when I try to get out. Once again, you know, we just need to send it to Pangkas. And that's not it.
Thank you very much.
I'm sure you're tired of seeing us here now.
Now we have two requests for proclamation.
Is that you, Cheryl?
Both are in the package. Oh, a request for proclamation.
A request for proclamation. Was that a new proclamation?
Yes, that's right.
One of them is from the West Side Transportation Alliance, who asked, wait, I'll open the package here. Pekan's request without a vehicle. The date of the meeting that was issued was September 28 and they participated in the proclamation draft. So that was the first one. The second one that was requested was by Pekan Konstitusi, requested by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. And they also participated in the proclamation draft. Saya punya informasi tambahan tentang pekan tanpa bergendara yang saya minta Amanda ambilkan untuk saya. Tunggu sebentar, maaf. Yes, they say that Pekan Tanpa Berkendara is a national campaign to raise awareness about the obstacles and challenges faced by non-members in accessing their communities. Said Transportation Alliance is one of the local houses for Pekan Tanpa Berkendara. They begin to request the jurisdiction of their members a year later if they want to make a proclamation. The third city participates. This year they have sent a request to the jurisdiction in Washington County and have received answers from T-Guard and from Beaverton.
Two no answers, one from the county and one from the city of Cornelius.
Well, why don't we start the week without driving? Any thoughts or opinions? Proclamation here. Members? I actually agree with that. This is a proclamation, not a condition for our community, but I will tell it when I work and practice as a social worker. I have many clients, many mothers who are unable to buy a car and raise their children alone, and they have to go through There are many obstacles to solving everything that must be done for them. And I really can't imagine having to do all that. So, it feels interesting as a service provider to mark the boxes for these people, which in my opinion, this is a very big burden. So I think some people in the community, we don't drive and think about what happens, even when we consider choices such as cycling and things like that, sometimes it's not possible for people with children who have to go to a grocery store, DLL. So I don't have a problem with that. Is there anyone else who wants to support this proclamation?
Yes, I just want to say that I am neutral because I am not so sure if this is part of our community, although I feel that increasing awareness is always good. I hope there is a connection with the day of walking and international cycling to school, which is October 7. For me, it is something that is followed by many schools in our community and it feels like it can be a different way and more local to increase awareness of this topic, although I appreciate that the topic is not the same. So I think I can be convinced in one direction or the other. Do you have an opinion, Ms. Rostun?
Senator Rauf, I am happy to support it.
I think raising awareness is a good thing.
One thought that came to my mind is the fact that we have heard from people who live in Plainby Gardens, and we find it difficult to provide them with bus services. So maybe this helps to raise awareness for the community.
I also don't have the strength to support it.
Thank you.
I think the Constitution is very important. In my opinion, the general election will come soon. In my opinion, we are facing an interesting time in the history of our country. And I know that Daughters of the American Revolution, very committed to understanding history and the rights that we have as citizens of the country. So I'm not bothered by this. For me, most of this is about raising awareness and I always think, even if no one tries, like not walking all day or reading some of the Constitution, I will do it. So at least it will make me a little smarter, maybe, or more aware. Are there any other comments or concerns? Gonzales?
I will definitely fully support this.
This is a fairly simple proclamation and only acknowledges the importance of the Constitution. So I am also not involved in this matter. Okay, we are done with that and now we continue to the communication of the Council and Sheri Lien, you are the first.
Thank you, President Dewan Pret.
I will ask our Director of Public Works, Rachel Sykes, to move forward and give a brief update on the water problem that we are currently experiencing. Good evening.
There are only four of you and Counselor Gonzales, your face is very big on the screen. I'm not too happy to be here to give this innovation, but things like this can happen in the water system. Right now, we are experiencing an active leak in our water transmission network that supplies Tualatin from Portland. This is on the pipe section, which is exclusively owned by Tualatin in Seven Dues Oaken Avenue, actually right on the road in Tigger, in Seven Dues Oaken and Cable Lane. We were informed early this morning by Kota Tigat. They were doing a layering project in the 72-zone area, and they saw a little water coming out of the gut hole. So we went to investigate and found that one of our air ducts leaked. After a little investigation, it was confirmed that it was the city's pipeline. We checked a little, realizing that the leak was getting worse. One, the air outlet is basically located at the top of the highest point in the water channel and allows air to come out of the channel. So, this is designed to open and close, but this is the galvanized part that is older with different types of metals, one and the other. metal, can be corroded over time, and galvanized materials are known to be able to experience that. So, the leak. It just got worse when we were on the field to investigate, so we decided that to repair it, we couldn't do it when the pipe flow was still active. This is a 36-inch pipe, so there is a lot of water flowing inside. We decided to close the flow of the water pipe through the tap on the side of the drain and drain. So, we had to turn off the pipe flow of about 3,000 feet long and let the water drain out. The process took quite a long time. The pressure from the leak pushed through the inspection hole until it was released and then accumulated on the high pressure gas pipe. So, several explorations and excavations to make improvements, which we thought were relatively small, took a little extra time. Our team has been working there for a long time. We have emergency contractors in the location. I heard from Teran about an hour ago that they had managed to move the check hole directly. It's very heavy. Now they can access the air waste section and the hope is that they only need to replace one small component. So let's hope that the problem is not more serious than that. There is always a possibility that the problem can be bigger. We are sure that if the problem is according to the estimate, the flow of water in the transmission pipe will return at the latest in the middle of the night. For the sake of anticipation, you may have seen the information on social media, the city website, and other local channels that inform that we are fixing the pipe leak. We ask the community to save water or reduce the use of water for unimportant things. For now, we set a 24 to 48-hour time limit as a preventive measure. So, that is our current condition. I hope to get more information in the near future, but this is a reminder of how crucial our water resources are. Some of our local industries are impacted. We continue to communicate with LEM. They are the largest water user in this city. So, some of the reserve plans have been prepared with LEM, but the implementation is quite challenging today. So, ideally, today we have finally fixed the value-added lessons and some of the main points for us as operational coaching staff. So, that's my update. Any questions? I am happy to answer them with the information I have.
I just want to know if we can get a little bit of news when it's fixed. Of course, yes. We will send the news when it's fixed.
We will also send it on social media so that people know. Personally, I haven't received a call since our social media broadcast, so hopefully it's clear enough, but we have to make another message. Oh, everything has been fixed. Thank you for your participation. You know we really appreciate it.
So yes, we will continue to give news to the community and the committee about that.
Any other questions? Thank you. I hope it works.
I don't think it's necessary, but please just hope to be careful. Thank you, Rachel. Oh, there are a few things. I attended Captain Friends' event last week. An interesting promotion for someone who has joined our team for years and has been promoted to captain. I'm really happy about that. And that will be announced tonight. We are dealing with several quite intense environmental issues and I just want to appreciate our staff who are in the front line. Workers who work with our community on a routine basis, who appreciate professionalism, love, and the ability to respond to them, as well as their extraordinary patience. They represent Tualatin very well, and I am very proud of the workers who have been at the forefront of a number of issues, especially the recent environmental issues. We are walking around the city along the road. You may be paying attention to the city center, parking lot, and the city hall. Om is closed on Friday. The white area next to Gimen is closed today. Today is the last day, so we are done, and in my opinion, everything is going relatively smoothly. It's a bit annoying, but it's done, and it's always a good thing. This protects our important infrastructure age. I would like to give you the latest information that the mayor and city councilors have continued to address the problem of cellular services around Aibek. So, the third provider, the service is investigating the problem and we hope there will be more communication. Thank you, Kevin. The process of expanding our external agency has now been opened. You may remember the discussion about preventing the issuance of funds from the support services. We are targeting it as a separate benefit to one provider, and that will be discussed again. Megan Cowan is working on it, and I am happy to provide more details outside the forum. But that will come back to you at the beginning of this peak season, we target October. The community survey has started. You see posters in front of the entrance door. The survey will be closed in September. We will bring you the results on September. We are very excited about that. This may be the sixth. And I always like longitudinal surveys about how we have changed since three years and six years ago. And I await it. The Trotoar and Jalanan trees project is still in progress, as some of you know, in depth. Repairing the trotoar around the city with a focus on the southern end of the city at this stage. This fall season will start planting trees again, but we focus on planting concrete and repairing the trotoar at this stage. So it's still going on. Haribur Hari Buruh is on September 7. It's hard to believe that that day will come. The office will be closed and I hope everyone enjoys Haribur Hari Buruh holiday. Some other things from around the city, registration to join several councils and city committees is now open until September 18. We are recruiting members for the Park Advisory Committee, the District Parking Board, the Park Advisory Committee, and the ID Committee. The next Laskasitas workday is on Saturday, September 19. WC-CLS celebrates their 50th anniversary this year, and they have scheduled events at every library. Last Saturday was our turn, and we celebrated it with Alex Zurb. They showed up and there was mangkuk cake and other interesting things for the participants. Starting on August 17 or last week, Waktu Bercerita is on vacation, arranging time, telling their own story for the meantime. Waktu Bercerita musim gugur akan dimulai kembali pada 14 September. Terakhir dari Taman dan Rekreasi, perkemahan musim panas berakhir minggu lalu. Kami melayani lebih dari 600 peserta di perkemahan musim panas tahun ini dan acara tersebut sangat sukses. Sangat sukses. Akan ada lebih banyak lagi yang akan datang tahun depan. Kami mengharapkan adanya perluasan tahun depan. Utim acara sedang dalam mode perencanaan penuh untuk regata. to find a way to increase the event and present more excitement in the center of our city this summer. We are working with an arborist company to complete an ice tree survey of almost 100 hectares in an open green space with a high altitude. More than 800 ice trees have been marked and we are working on the next step. So we will give you an update in October, which will be done in cooperation with the OREKON Forest Department. And then finally, the park team is repairing the edge of the field in Ibad Park and Jurgen Park as part of field maintenance and security improvement.
We expect the repair will be completed this week. Thank you. Thank you, Shira.
That was quite a lot. Member of the Council, Gonzalo. Thank you. I don't have any comments, sir.
Thank you. Member of the Council.
We held a committee meeting for the last week. And in my opinion, that was our heaviest meeting so far from my point of view. We have so many great candidates and very few places. So I hope you guys register again for the position called Sarah Lynn. I also want to mention that the hair has been installed for the construction project of Martino Azi and Black, which will come soon. And I think the hair is very good. I think it's done very well. And you can clearly see what's going on and where, and that's a big white hair. And I think if anyone doesn't know what's going on, they can definitely see this hair. So it works well. also attended the concert on Friday at the Commons and saw the chairman of the PRET there and I gave appreciation to the park staff and the event that did a great job and the enthusiasm was amazing, the band was good and I know they have worked hard to unite all that for the hot season and all the hot season programs. I am happy to hear that they have continued to the regatta. So thank you and appreciation for that team.
I don't have an official meeting, but I want to give appreciation to Rachel and her team who manage the project of Pohon Jalanan. I can only imagine after seeing what happened on my way, the level of one project, maybe it was simple, we finished, and the other project, maybe like its roots, entered every possible place. It has destroyed everything, various different things. So I know people in our environment really appreciate, including myself, for your cooperation, your patience, and also to the contractors. They are honest, they look into your eyes when they talk, they are friendly. So I just want to say, I hope other people in the community have the same experience as we do on this road. And thank you for your hard work.
Members of the Brooks Committee.
Thank you, President Prat. On the 11th, I attended the meeting of the Comitee of Art Advisors Tualatin with the Comitee Taman. We held it once a year, directly. Usually, we held meetings together, but there were several different agendas, so we were separated. However, after that, we were able to paint the murals together with the artists, and that was very enjoyable. So it was really fun to go there, hold a cane, and talk to the young people who worked with Redstone. They did an amazing job for the community. On the 12th, I attended the Titanium Monthly Meeting with the 12th Chamber of Commerce. We discussed the preparation of the seminar on the 19th. The seminar is titled, get a list and recommendations. There is also a happy hour event on the 20th of this month. Please check the date in the trading room for the Titanium Happy Hour event. I think they are also playing pickleball lately as a way to socialize with businessmen and volunteers in our community. Then on the 13th, I attended a meeting of the National Racial Council of the three national cities. I sat at the National Council for Racial Equality and Leadership and we discussed The handling strategy that is faced by people, strategy, policy, and reorganization. Some policies for KTT in November to come. So, please be seated. Please be seated in Nashville. Then on the 13th, I attended the PAB meeting, we had two meetings a year directly. Now the meeting is held there. We discussed our strategic plans, which may change, even if it's not this year. Then we also met at Cornelius and had a tour of their former elementary school, which will be turned into a community center and will be connected to their agricultural market. They have worked with the Metro for that project. This project is very interesting to learn from the mayor or the city manager who is present there. I've seen him before because he used to offer other benefits and he did innovative and interesting things. So it's always interesting to hear what they will do next. Oh, another thing, I took a picture of their library because we met there. They used to get benefits for that library. And there's a lantern on top of the library, something amazing. They discuss how to manage it and how the people like it. Then on the 14th, I attended the Pop-up Art Market of Tualatin Valleycrats in Beaverton, more precisely in First Street Commons. When I was there, I had the opportunity to meet with their community, their office. What is economy? the Director of Economic Development. He was there and explained that the purpose of this meeting was compared to other large festivals that they had. Then I walked around to see their running water, which was very surprising with all kinds of colors. It's always interesting to see what other cities are doing. And the local artist, there was someone from the Prisoners Guild there, They sell art from people who are in prison. One of them. From them, they made a masterpiece, so I finally had to support that person. Many programs like that have been cut off since COVID, so they really fight for it. Then, on the 19th, I attended a series of leaders of children's education.
and the results are very good.
Seri, the leader of the education of children of this age. From the National League of Cities, this is a very great series of support from my colleagues, and in my opinion, I don't have to be limited to the development of children of this age. They speak within the framework of the system, not just a program. This is very visionary and done by innovative and brilliant people. I talked to someone who gave me some resources. I will share it with you at the right time. Then on the 20th, there was a Happy Hour event. Then, at the end of last week, I met the representative, Paul Hoyle, from the Eugene area and our Secretary of State, Bia Srid, who talked about how important it is to send a voice letter earlier and put it in the collection box if possible. So, to avoid the problem of delivery, but they have worked tremendously to protect our rights to choose through letters. My week is quite short because the sub-commitmental C was cancelled, then CCAA was one of the times where it's always like that, but it feels like we have too many great choices. I mean, it's hard to feel, but this is a very good thing for our community because we have people with the skills that are willing to become volunteers. Then I attended Dance Hall Days, and what I found interesting was that I met some people I knew from Beaverton and Wilsonville. I mean, there were people from other cities. So that made me think about revitalizing the city center. Because we have people. We need to make them shop and support our city more. And finally, this is not an official meeting, but I went to watch the show at Tualatin Heritage Center, The Golden Age, hosted by Janet Carstiger. She is the protagonist and she changes the storyline, which in my opinion makes it much better. But I thought it was an amazing show and the actors were great. Honestly, I was very surprised. So I just want to let everyone know that we have art, inspiration, and other amazing things in our city. That's all. I think we can continue until 7 pm.
