City of Woodburn Public Works Director 190 Garfield Street Woodburn, Oregon 97071 FROM: Gabriel E. Crop, P.E. Kevin M. Thelin, P.E. Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. RE: Design Acceptance Plans Package Introduction/Background The contemplated 5th Street Improvements project is located in the City of Woodburn, Oregon between Hwy 214 and Harrison Street (See Appendix A and Preliminary Plans, Section 2 for location mapping). This project is identified in the City’s most recent 2005 Transportation System Plan (TSP) update as one of several projects that make up the preferred alternative to address the City’s long-term transportation goals. The specific goals of the project as identified in the TSP are to: Upgrade 5th Street to access street standards (including connection to Hwy 214). Signalize the intersection of Meridian Drive/5th Street/Oregon 214. The purpose of this package is to document the preliminary design and public involvement processes to date. It is anticipated that the City Council for Woodburn will use this Design Acceptance Plans (DAP) package, along with separate City staff recommendations, public testimony and other available information to decide whether the project should proceed through final design and ultimately on to construction. 09-1094.207 Page 2 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc Project Purpose The City’s objective is to implement the recommendations in the 2005 TSP referenced above to improve Woodburn’s overall transportation system. This project is seen by the City as a way to provide greater connectivity (more alternative routes) and reduce traffic congestion at key locations such as on nearby Hwy 214 and Settlemier Avenue. The City staff view 5th Street as a crucial north-south access street that will better connect the north and south sides of Woodburn such that local traffic is not forced to travel east-west on the currently congested Hwy 214. Fifth Street is currently the City’s highest priority for local street improvements due to the relatively low estimated cost and the need for construction in preparation for the improvements to OR 214. If the City elects to make improvements to 5th Street including the signal at Hwy 214, this improvement must be clearly defined and incorporated into the Environmental Assessment and design of the OR 214 widening project which is currently under way. Signalizing the intersection of Meridian Drive/5th Street/Oregon 214 is similarly intended to reduce traffic congestion, and very importantly to increase pedestrian safety by providing an additional protected pedestrian crossing of Hwy 214. Additional objectives of the project that come with upgrading 5th Street to access street standards are providing sidewalks, additional parking, street lighting, landscaping, drainage improvements and other potential improvements. Project Design Team & Schedule In order to determine the viability of the 5th Street Improvements project, the City hired Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. (MSA) and its subconsultant team in November 2009 to assist the City in developing preliminary (30% complete) project designs through the DAP phase. As such, the Project Design Team (PDT) for this work is comprised of City Public Works staff and the MSA consultant team. Preliminary design and public involvement work was completed from November 2009 through March 2010. It is expected that the City Council will vote on whether the project will proceed in April 2010. If the project proceeds, it is expected that final design would progress through the end of 2010 and construction could begin in the spring of 2011 when the weather improves to allow excavation work to begin, although a definitive schedule has not been detemined. Existing Conditions 5th Street is currently a local residential street throughout the project area and has a barricade serving to dead-end the street approximately 400 feet south of the intersection of 5th Street 09-1094.207 Page 3 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc and Hwy 214. This dead-end currently restricts traffic from traveling north or south at the barricade. 5th Street between Hwy 214 and the barricade is currently 40 feet wide (two travel lanes and parallel parking on both sides) with six foot wide sidewalks. This portion of 5th Street was constructed in the mid 1990’s as part of the Nuevo Amanecer development. Traffic from Hwy 214 can access Nuevo Amanecer and the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The paved width of 5th Street between the barricade and Harrison Street varies in width from approximately 17 feet to 23 feet and generally narrows from south to north as one approaches the dead-end. No sidewalks or paved parking currently exist. 5th Street in this area serves the local neighborhood bounded by Settlemier Avenue, Harrison Street and 5th Street as there is no eastward connection from 5th Street in this area. Design Criteria The City of Woodburn has many design standards including specifications, standard details, standard street cross-sections and other referenced standards used to design this project. Specifically for 5th Street, the PDT has used the standard access street cross-section (See Appendix B) available in the City’s 2005 TSP as a guide and starting point in developing preliminary designs for 5th Street. As discussed in more detail below, the PDT has made modifications to the standard access street cross-section for 5th Street based on several factors including compatibility with existing conditions, Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) input and to stay within existing public right-of-way. Public Involvement Process Open Houses Immediately upon beginning preliminary design work, the City initiated a public outreach effort to engage the 5th Street neighborhood and other interested stakeholders. Three open houses were conducted on the following dates and at the following locations: 1. November 18, 2009, Woodburn Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 1100 6th Street 2. November 19, 2009, St. Luke Catholic Church, 417 Harrison Street 3. November 23, 2009, Nuevo Amanecer, 1274 5th Street The goals of the open houses were to promote community awareness of the 5th Street Improvements project and to invite attendees to join the CAC. Key concerns voiced by the public at these open houses included increased traffic (and the related negative impacts to noise, air quality, congestion & safety), speed, crime, parking, property impacts, displacement and cost. A summary of the Open Houses is included in the CAC Meeting Materials in Appendix C. 09-1094.207 Page 4 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc Citizen Advisory Committee Given the level of public interest and the direct effect of this project on the Woodburn community, the City chose to continue engaging the community throughout the preliminary design process by forming a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The City’s goal for this committee was to provide a forum for interested citizens, most appreciably the concerned and opposed citizens to the project, to receive accurate project information and to express their concerns to City staff and ultimately the City Council through project documentation. Participation and documentation of CAC member discussions in this committee was seen as essential by the City to help validate the design process and to ultimately provide the City Council with the information they needed to make an informed decision. The charge of the committee as provided to the CAC at the first CAC Meeting was as follows: “Provide feedback and input to project designers and City staff to help formulate staff’s recommendation to the City Council regarding the feasibility of this project and an acceptable design solution, should the project move forward to final design and construction.” All citizens who filled out an application to be on the CAC were accepted and the CAC was initially composed of 20 members. CAC members had various affiliations (see CAC Membership list in Appendix C), with a clear majority being concerned St. Luke’s parishioners, educators and parents of students from St. Luke’s School and residents along 5th Street. The CAC participated in four meetings and one on-site walkthrough on the following dates and at the following locations: 1. January 6, 2010, City Hall 2. January 23, 2010, 5th Street (Site Walkthrough) 3. January 28, 2009, City Hall 4. February 18, Woodburn Police Department 5. March 11, 2010, Woodburn Police Department MSA’s public involvement subconsultant, JLA Public Involvement, facilitated the CAC meetings. As described in more detail in the Alternatives Analysis discussion below, the PDT presented several build alternatives for the 5th Street Improvements project to meet the goals of the project. Very generally, one alternative provided two-way traffic on 5th Street and another alternative provided for a one-way couplet with traffic flowing in opposite directions on 5th and 3rd Streets. There were several variations of these two alternatives (see below). A no-build alternative was also presented as an option. The PDT provided several design tools and pieces of project specific information to the CAC during the public involvement process. Generally, materials were posted on the City’s website one week in advance of the meetings so that members had an opportunity to review 09-1094.207 Page 5 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc the information prior to the meetings. Each member of the CAC received a three-ring binder, complete with dividers for keeping project information and materials. At the beginning of each meeting, the PDT provided guidance as to where the new materials for the meeting should be placed. At CAC Meeting #1 (January 6th), conceptual figures depicting the various alternatives were provided along with an alternatives comparison table that generally described the differences between the alternatives. At this first meeting, the CAC commented that a site walkthrough of 5th Street would be helpful for the CAC to visualize the potential improvements. In response to this request, the City set up a site walkthrough (January 23rd) which several of the CAC members and the general public attended. At CAC Meeting #2, (January 28th), the PDT presented several materials including a Traffic Flow Overview figure that listed approximate existing average daily traffic volumes for several streets around 5th Street and trends as to whether traffic was expected to increase or decrease for those listed streets assuming 5th Street were to be connected to Hwy 214. Based on CAC feedback from the first meeting, the PDT also presented figures showing different concepts for the Yew Street extension between 3rd Street and 5th Street as well as a “pros & cons” table to help explain the different options. As documented in a memo by the City to the CAC, if the Yew Street extension were to be included as part of the project, the design would extend eastward from the existing Yew Street and would require the acquisition of one single family residence on 3rd Street and the 6-plex apartments on 5th Street. A list of Key Design Factors specific to the 5th Street project was also presented to the CAC at this meeting. The CAC was asked to perform a “dot exercise” to provide the PDT insight as to which design factors factors were the most important to them in consideration of the 5th Street Improvements project. The results of this dot exercise were then used to develop a weighting scale by which a decision matrix tool could be created for use in CAC Meeting #3. At CAC Meeting #3 (February 18th), the PDT presented the results of the CAC dot exercise. The factor with the greatest number of dots was traffic congestion, followed by vehicle access, private property impacts, parking, pedestrian safety, noise, crime, property value, vehicle speed, Yew Street connection, air quality, street lighting, temporary construction impacts, pedestrian facilities, preservation of existing features within public right-of-way, bicycle access and stormwater management. Landscaping, project cost, transit access and utility impacts did not receive any dots. The CAC was then asked to score Alternatives 1, 2 and the no-build alternative with a 1, 2 or 3 based on how well they thought that alternative addressed the particular design factor. The The CAC was also given several figures of Alternative 2 showing the Yew Street connection with one-way and two-way options as well as an updated traffic flow overview figure that included estimated ranges of future traffic volumes based on engineering judgment. Prior to CAC Meeting #4 (March 11th), the PDT asked the CAC to complete an online survey about what the CAC would like to discuss and what information should be presented before making their final recommendations at the end of the meeting. The PDT used this 09-1094.207 Page 6 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc information to develop the agenda for the final meeting which focused heavily on open discussion among the CAC. At this meeting, the PDT provided the scoring results using the CAC weighting factors as well as the PDT weighting factors and scoring for comparison purposes. The PDT also provided an updated traffic flow overview figure that included results from the traffic model (see Traffic Studies discussion below). At the end of the meeting, each CAC member provided their specific recommendations for the project which were also documented on a CAC Questionnaire. All final meeting materials, including specific CAC member comments documented in the Meeting Summaries, Comment-Response Log and CAC Questionnaire Responses, are provided in Appendix C. Appendix C is essentially the complete three-ring binder that each CAC member received with the addition of the summary for the last meeting, the CAC questionnaire responses and specific e-mail comments received from individual CAC members after the last meeting. CAC recommendations and primary concerns are described below in the Alternatives Analysis Section. Surveying MSA’s surveyor, OBEC, performed surveying services for the project. Survey work included right-of-way research to confirm property lines within the project area and extensive ground surveying work to collect topographical and planimetric data for design. MSA has used the survey information to develop preliminary plans as provided in Section 2. Traffic Studies Traffic analysis was conducted for this project for several purposes. First and as requested by the CAC, existing and future traffic volumes were approximated for 5th Street and the surrounding street network to see what the anticipated effect would be on the transportation network as a whole. Approximate existing Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes for 5th Street and other surrounding roads were developed based on existing traffic count information from several sources including ODOT counts on Hwy 214 and a City database of counts for the City’s roadway network. The existing ADT for 5th Street south of the barricade is 500 vehicles. North of the barricade, the existing ADT is 1,000. Forecasting future volumes assuming 5th Street is connected to Hwy 214 required the use of a traffic model. Due to the confluence of multiple state highways within the City of Woodburn, ODOT currently owns, maintains and operates a regional traffic model that includes the 5th Street area. The model is a complex computer program composed of several Transportation Area Zones (TAZs) within the City that account for such factors as density, zoning requirements (commercial, residential, industrial), assumed growth rates, etc. At the PDT’s request, ODOT ran the traffic model for opening year traffic assuming 5th Street is connected to Hwy 214. The PDT obtained the raw data from the model and performed post-processing, which included adjusting the traffic volumes based on actual traffic counts in the area. The future volumes are predicted to be reach up to 2,200 ADT on the portion of 5th Street south of the barricade and up to 2,700 ADT north of the barricade. These volumes are similar to those 09-1094.207 Page 7 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc currently on Astor and Park. These post-processed volume projections, along with the estimated existing traffic volumes are shown in the Traffic Flow Overview figure dated March 11, 2010 in Appendix C. Second, a signal warrant analysis was also developed to document the justification for a signal at Meridian Drive/5th Street/Oregon 214. Based on projected traffic volumes developed through ODOT model and post-processing described above, a signal meets warrants for this intersection. It should be noted that meeting warrants is necessary to justify a signal, but a signal is not required to be installed by meeting warrants. Additional documentation of “need” is also required. In this case, that includes connectivity, lack of other north-south signalized intersections in the area and long-term City transportation network goals. The Signal Warrant Analysis memo and supporting figures showing design vehicle turning movements at each corner is provided in Appendix G. The PDT met with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to discuss the need for a signal at this location and the ODOT required documents and signal application request form (SARF) for ODOT’s review and approval. If a signal is approved, the PDT will continue to work with ODOT during final design to confirm intersection corner radii and other detailed aspects of signal design. Environmental Studies Natural Resources MSA’s environmental subconsultant, ESA Adolfson, performed a natural resource assessment for the project area. No wetlands are present within the project area and since no federal funds will be used for this project, no federal permits will be required. Specific findings and conclusions are documented in Appendix E. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment MSA’s subconsultant, GRI, conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) to evaluate potential sources of hazardous substances that could could impact the project during the construction phase. For the purposes of this project, GRI evaluated the existing public rightof-way along 5th Street and the potentially affected properties if Yew Street were extended in the future between 3rd Street and 5th Street. This ESA disclosed the presence of utility poles made from creosote treated timbers that support electrical transformers that may contain PCBs. Care will need to be taken when handling these during construction. No other potential sources of contamination were found and no additional work is recommended. Complete findings and recommendations regarding potential hazardous materials are documented in Appendix F and will be used during final design should the project continue through construction. 09-1094.207 Page 8 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc Noise & Air Quality Review Specific concerns were voiced by the public at the Open Houses and by certain members of the CAC regarding potential noise and air quality impacts to the property owners along 5th Street if the project is completed. To address these issues and determine whether potential mitigation would be required, the PDT conducted a “worst case” noise impact assessment using the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model (TNM) for the 5th Street Improvements project. Assumptions were as follows: Typical Section 3.3 (Figure 1.3 as provided in Appendix C) will yield the worst case results from a traffic noise standpoint, due to the 12’ travel lanes, the 8’ parking strips and 6’ sidewalks on each side of the roadway. Concrete/pavement is considered an “acoustically hard” surface that decreases the propagation rate when sound travels over it. The traffic data that would yield the worst case conditions was the ADT volume of 2,700 vehicles (see Traffic Flow Overview Figure, Appendix C). A worst case directional, or “D” Factor for traffic in a single direction of 60% was used. A bus percentage of 5%, medium trucks of 2%, motorcycles of 2% and passenger cars of 91% were used. Using the assumptions above, the worst case traffic noise level, at a distance of approximately 30 feet from the roadway centerline, is just under 60.0 dBA (decibels on the “A” weighted scale). ODOT indicates that a traffic noise impact will occur (and abatement consideration is necessary) to a residence, school, park, or church at 65.0 dBA. The predicted traffic noise levels are low due to the relatively low volume of traffic, the absence of heavy trucks, and the low speed. Based on this information, traffic noise impacts are not expected at any location along the corridor, given the data provided and the assumptions made. Regarding potential air quality degradation from increased traffic volumes, modeling results using EPA’s SCREEN3 indicated that exposure levels to pollutants would be well below the accepted thresholds established under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and would not be a significant impact. Under worst-case conditions, the highest likely 8-hr concentrations of the carbon monoxide (CO) would be less than 0.3 mg/m3. The 8-hr threshold is 10 mg/m3. The very conservative assumptions are that all daily traffic use the road during a single 8-hour period and that meteorological conditions would result in minimal dispersion of pollutants. Note that CO is the largest single pollutant from gasoline vehicles and therefore serves as the modeled element. The noise and air quality preliminary findings documented above were generally discussed and accepted by the CAC during the CAC meetings. After further discussion, the CAC appears to be primarily concerned about visual distraction of the students looking out the windows with additional cars driving by the school. There are no standardized methods for 09-1094.207 Page 9 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc this scenario to assess visual impacts or determine if mitigation is warranted. Potential mitigation measures could include screening with landscaping, window shades, or other devices. Such mitigation measures and potential funding through this project would be discretional and based on judgment. Geotechnical Investigations & Pavement Design Geotechnical investigations were conducted and a pavement design created for the 5th Street Improvements project for use in final design efforts. The geotechnical investigations included a series of borings taken along 5th Street. Complete analysis of the soil characteristics and existing pavement section was completed for use in designing the new pavement section. All investigations and pavement design recommendations are provided in the report (See Appendix D). The pavement design for 5th Street is summarized below: Pavement North of Barricade (Overlay) Course Thickness Product Asphalt Overlay 2.5” Level 2, ½” Dense Graded Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) N/A N/A Taper grind and match existing gutter at curb Pavement at Barricade and to the South (Reconstruct) Course Thickness Product Asphalt Wearing Course 2.0” Level 2, ½” Dense Graded HMAC Asphalt Base Course 3.0” Level 2, ¾” Dense Graded HMAC Aggregate Base 12.0” Aggregate Base Information obtained through the borings will also be used during final design to design the signal pole foundations at the intersection of Meridian Drive/5th Street/Oregon 214 if needed. Utility Impact Assessment MSA completed a preliminary review of the existing utilities within the project area and potential conflicts with the proposed work. The following is a list of known utility agencies that may have facilities in the project area: Wave Broadband Gervais Telephone Company Northwest Natural Gas Portland General Electric Willamette Broadband (recently purchased by Wave Broadband) Qwest Local Network 09-1094.207 Page 10 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc City of Woodburn (water, sewer, drainage) Existing underground utilities along 5th Street generally include gas (NWN), storm sewer (City), sanitary sewer (City), potable water (City) and localized power and communication service drops. Several utilities are also located aerially on wood poles on the northwest side of 5th Street and include power (PGE) and other communications services (Wave Broadband, Gervais Telephone, Willamette Broadband and Quest). It is expected that all non-City owned utilities currently occupy the City’s right-of-way on 5th Street by permit and can be relocated at the utilities’ expense if proposed roadway improvements require that they be moved. Underground Utilities Since the profile of 5th Street is proposed to remain the same, excavation work is anticipated to be limited to that necessary to rebuild the roadway section, generally two feet below existing ground. In addition to the roadway excavation, new storm sewer facilities will need to be installed and may present potential crossing conflicts with other utilities. The existing sanitary sewer on 5th Street appears to be sufficiently deep to avoid significant conflicts. Certain shallow laterals may need to be relocated if necessary. The existing waterline condition, size and depth is currently unknown and needs to be further researched to confirm if any potential permanent or temporary conflicts exist with the proposed work. A minimum amount of cover over the waterline needs to be provided during construction to avoid impacts. Gas lines along 5th Street may be in conflict with the proposed work. Although the size is not yet known, a preliminary observation from the mapping indicates that the existing lines are likely small lines about 2” in diameter and can be relatively easily relocated if necessary. It should also be noted that certain areas of additional cut or fill to expand the roadway or for other reasons may create localized conflicts that will be evaluated further during final design. Based upon discussions with the City, it is understood that with the exception of the storm sewer, existing City utilities (sanitary sewer and potable water) are in sufficiently adequate condition and no additional work will be needed beyond any minor relocations. Aerial Utilities Since the proposed 5th Street Improvements project includes new sidewalks on the northwest side of the street and utility poles are shown to conflict with the new sidewalk location, it is expected that these poles and associated aerial utilities will need to be relocated further back near the edge of right-of-way. The need to move these aerial utilities presents an opportunity to place them underground as part of the roadway excavation and construction work if the City desires to do so. Potential 09-1094.207 Page 11 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc undergrounding of utilities to enhance the corridor can be evaluated further as an option during final design. In cases such as this project, the City would typically be responsible for furnishing and installing the vaults, conduit and junction boxes and then would develop cost sharing agreements with each individual utility to move their facilities into the new underground system based on remaining service life value of the existing facilities. Permitting Permits for this project are anticipated to include a DEQ 1200C permit and ODOT permit to occupy the state right-of-way. The DEQ 1200C permit can be acquired by the construction contractor and MSA anticipates working closely with ODOT during design regarding all required items for ODOT to grant the permit occupy their right-of-way. Most coordination efforts during final design will focus on the traffic signal and curb radius work on Hwy 214. As discussed above, no other environmental permits are anticipated for this project. Preliminary Design Alternatives Analysis The project design team developed several alternatives for consideration to meet the goals of the 5th Street Improvements project. The following alternatives were identified and evaluated: Alternative 1a: Two-way on 5th Street (See Figure 1, Appendix C) Alternative 1b: Two-way on 5th Street with two-way Yew Street extension (See Figure 1, Appendix C) Alternative 2a: One-way couplet on 5th Street and 3rd Street with counterclockwise traffic flow (See Figure 2A, Appendix C) Alternative 2b: One-way couplet on 5th Street and 3rd Street with clockwise traffic flow (See Figure 2B, Appendix C) Alternative 2c: One-way couplet on 5th Street and 3rd Street with counterclockwise traffic flow and two-way traffic on Yew Street (See Figure 2C, Appendix C) Alternative 2d: One-way couplet on 5th Street and 3rd Street with clockwise traffic flow and two-way traffic on Yew Street (See Figure 2D, Appendix C) Alternative 3: Pedestrian Bridge over Hwy 214 Alternative 4: No-Build Each alternative was evaluated by the PDT and discussed during the CAC meetings. Although Alternative 3 for the pedestrian bridge addressed the pedestrian safety issue, it was ultimately eliminated at CAC Meeting #2 as it did not address the primary project issue of traffic congestion and improved network connectivity. To simplify the alternative selection process, the PDT and CAC condensed the options to Alternative 1 (two-way on 5th), Alternative 2 (one-way couplet) and a no-build option as a way to focus on which concept 09-1094.207 Page 12 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc would be best. It was generally understood that the particular variations of Alternatives 1 and 2 could be further developed during final design. CAC Recommendations At the end of the last CAC meeting as noted above, the CAC was invited to provide their recommendations regarding their preferred alternative for the 5th Street Improvements project. Comments from each CAC member are documented in the CAC Questionnaire Responses summary provided in Appendix C. In all, 10 CAC members voted for a no-build option and 7 CAC members voted for a build option. A breakdown of the results for the CAC voting is provided in the table below: Alternative 1 Two-Way Traffic Alternative 2 One-way Traffic Alternative 3 No Build First Choice 4 3 10 Second Choice 4 10 3 Third Choice 9 4 4 The above tabulated results represent the specific preferences of the 17 voting members of the CAC present at the last meeting. Those CAC members who voted for the no-build option were generally concerned about the various perceived negative impacts to the local neighborhood such as increased traffic, traffic closer to buildings, noise, air quality, visual distraction, pedestrian safety, etc. CAC members that voted for one of the build options generally saw the improved transportation system, pedestrian crossings of Hwy 214 and other street improvements as more beneficial factors. The voting results summarized above and documented in Appendix C reflect the specific preferences of the CAC and are not necessarily proportional or fully representative of the general public sentiment or City staff recommendations for this project. It is understood that the City Council will consider the recommendations made by the CAC in parallel with recommendations made by City staff in addition to comments that may be made by the general public during the public hearing currently scheduled for April 12th. City Recommendations During the CAC process, one of the decision tools used was a listing, weighting and scoring of the Key Design Factors associated with the 5th Street Improvements project as described above. A total of 22 key design factors for the 5th Street Improvements project were identified. Although the weighting and scoring results from CAC feedback did not directly correlate to the CAC voting results, the Key Design Factors Ranking Sheet was particularly useful in illustrating the City’s perspective and recommendations. The PDT assigned weighting factors to these design factors based on the goals of the project. Each alternative was then scored based on how well that alternative addressed the particular design factor. The results from the PDT perspective are shown in the Key Design Factors Scoring Analysis 09-1094.207 Page 13 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc using Design Team Scoring and Weighting Factors (Appendix C). As shown in this table, the PDT viewed traffic congestion from a City-wide perspective and pedestrian safety as the two most important and heavily weighted design factors. Project cost, vehicle access and emergency vehicle access among other factors were also incorporated into the scoring and viewed as the next most important factors. As indicated by the results, Alternative 1 had the highest total score and represents the recommended alternative by the City staff. The City specifically recommends Alternative 1a (5th Street connection without the Yew Street extension) as the alternative that makes the most efficient use of City funds to directly address the primary goals of the project. The project will help the City meet its long-term goals of: 1) improved north-south connectivity across Highway 214; 2) improved pedestrian safety with signalized crossings of Hwy 214; and 3) reduced congestion on heavily travelled portions of the transportation system by shifting some of this traffic, almost all local in nature, onto 5th Street. (Note that truck traffic will not be allowed on 5th Street if it is improved.) Additionally, emergency services are very supportive of the increased connectivity and view this project as having great importance from a time-of-response point of view. Although the Yew Street extension would enhance connectivity, it is not seen as essential to meet the project goals and would come at additional cost for which budget is not currently available. Additional specific reasoning for this recommendation will be given orally by City staff during the public hearing at which time the City Council will vote on the project. Typical Sections As developed during the alternatives analysis process and presented to the CAC (see Section 2, three conceptual typical sections are shown for 5th Street. The sections are intended to follow the City’s access street standards to the extent practical, but have been modified to fit existing conditions (such as matching the existing street section near Hwy 214), to minimize impacts to existing features and importantly, to stay within existing City right of way. Each section includes two-way traffic with 11’-12’ wide travel lanes, 8’ wide parking where applicable and 6’ wide sidewalks. New landscaping has not been shown as a way to preserve existing trees, yards etc. that may be desirable to maintain. Landscaping, however, will be more fully discussed if the project moves into final design. Signal/Striping/Signing Signal, striping and signing designs will be completed during final design. A conceptual striping design is shown in the 30% plan sheets shown in Section 2 and conceptual signal pole locations are shown in Appendix G. Storm Drainage At the City’s request and since a new roadway is being constructed, storm system upgrades will be needed. Conceptual designs are shown as part of the 30% DAP design. Using the 09-1094.207 Page 14 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc City of Woodburn Storm Drainage Master Plan, city mapping and the design survey, a preliminary storm system has been developed to effectively transport storm water from 5th Street to existing storm facilities. The preliminary design generally assumes the existing storm facilities have adequate downstream capacity to accommodate the additional flows created by the street widening. Using a natural highpoint in the street grade, 5th flows will be conveyed to existing storm facilities at the north and south ends of the project. Flows south of the highpoint will be conveyed to a connection point near the intersection of 5th and Church Streets. Flows north of the highpoint will be conveyed to a connection point at the intersection of 5th street and Highway 214. A complete hydraulic analysis to confirm system capacity will be completed during final design. Low impact development approaches to reduce stormwater volumes entering into the system will also be considered if the project moves into final design. Right-of-Way Proposed street improvements will be within existing right-of-way on 5th Street. No additional right-of-way will be needed for this project as proposed. If the Yew Street extension were to be included in the project, additional right-of-way from at least two properties would be necessary to construct the extension. Proposed Construction Staging Recognizing that it would not be practical to close 5th Street entirely during construction due to the needs of local residents to access their property, a construction staging plan needs to be developed and implemented as part of the design. To minimize the impact of construction work on the community, MSA recommends construction in three stages as shown in Section 2. Stage one would involve constructing the southeast side of 5th Street (side adjacent St. Luke’s) as well as the undeveloped right-of-way where the existing barricade is located. MSA recommends upgrading the southeast side first to reduce the impacts on existing utilities and the majority of the residents on 5th street. Only 12 feet of roadway width is recommended to be constructed on the southeast side such that most of the existing pavement can be used to the extent possible for traffic to continue traveling on 5th Street. Although the existing roadway width would be reduced, traffic could continue travel in two directions given the relatively low volumes, or flow could be temporarily changed to a one-way orientation if desired. Stage three would then involve constructing the remaining portion of the street on the northwest side of 5th Street. Traffic would travel on the newly constructed roadway on the southeast side of the road. Since only 12 feet of traveled way will be available, it is likely that one-way traffic would be implemented during this stage. With this scenario, a one-way 09-1094.207 Page 15 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 1 -5th Street Design Narrative.doc circular travel path using 5th Street, Harrison Street, Settlemier Avenue and Hwy 214 could be used. Specifications The project will follow the ODOT/APWA standard specifications. During final design, MSA will confirm that all City standards are captured in these specifications. Boilerplate special provisions to the standard specifications for the project based on the typical project elements to be constructed are provided in Section 3. Specific special provisions based on project needs will be developed during final design. Cost Estimate A preliminary cost estimate assuming 25% contingency has been developed and is provided in Section 4. Based on the proposed alternative by the City, the current construction cost including construction engineering management and administration is estimated to be $2.0 Million. Estimated unit costs are based on recent ODOT and MSA bid tab information and represents the latest information available. MSA recognizes that bids on recent similar construction work have been regularly coming in below engineer’s estimates. MSA’s estimated prices assume a bid in 2011 and a stabilized construction market with a return to more historical prices. Final Design Final design for the 5th Street Improvements project has been deferred until City of Woodburn City Council determines whether or not to continue the project. Conclusions City staff recommends that City Council approve the Design Acceptance Package as presented with Alternative 1a being the preferred alternative. This alternative provides for two-way traffic flow on 5th Street and does not include the Yew Street connection. As such, the entire project can be constructed within existing public right-of-way. The project will help the City meet its long-term goals of improved north-south connectivity across Highway 214, improved pedestrian safety with signalized crossings of Hwy 214 and reduced congestion on heavily travelled portions of the transportation system by shifting some of this traffic, almost all local in nature, onto 5th Street. There are no specific technical or environmental challenges associated with this project. While the majority of the CAC ultimately recommended the no-build alternative, the PDT recognizes that many of the members represented fairly limited view points and gave more weight to local concerns (the immediate vicinity of 5th Street) than system-wide concerns. Additionally, emergency services are very supportive of the increased connectivity and view this project as having great importance from a time of response point of view. SECTION 2 SECTION 3 09-1094.207 Page 1 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 3 -Preliminary ODOT-APWA Special Provisions.doc SECTION 3 Preliminary ODOT /APWA Special Provisions (30% Submittal) Per the City’s request, this project, if it proceeds to final design, will use the latest edition of Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction as the basis for the technical specifications and special provisions. These standards, adopted by the Oregon Chapter of the American Public Works Association and the Oregon Department of Transportation are routinely supplemented with “boiler plate” special provisions (“specials”) that allow for customization of the standards to meet the needs of each specific project. The following are the uncustomized “specials” that we currently see as being required for this project. Typically, there is at least reference made to a special provision for each section of the standards that covers a bid item used in the project. The specials shown below will be customized as needed as the design process advances. The orange text is standard editorial instructions that accompany the “specials” when downloaded from the Oregon Department of Transportation website. The City has its own general conditions and non-technical contractual documentation that will be used to develop the overall construction contract. Those documents will be used and incorporated as appropriate during final design. 09-1094.207 Page 2 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 3

Perform gradation and asphalt content testing with each MDV test. Calculate the following values for each MDV test. • Air Voids • Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA) • Voids Filled with Asphalt (VFA) • P No. 200/Effective AC (Pbe) Ratio The running averages of four MDV results shall be within the limits given below: Average of Limit Air Voids 4 samples JMF Target 1.0% VMA 4 samples 11.5 -17.0 (1" Mix) 12.5 -17.0 (3/4" Mix) 13.5 -17.0 (1/2" Mix) 14.5 -17.0 (3/8" Mix) VFA 4 samples 65 -75 (3/4" and 1/2" Mix in 09-1094.207 Page 55 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 3 -Preliminary ODOT-APWA Special Provisions.doc Level 2, 3 and 4) 65 -78 (3/8" Mix in Level 2, 3 and 4) 70 -80 (1/2" and 3/8" Mix in Level 1) Passing No. 200/Pbe 4 samples 0.8 -1.6 The CDT shall provide the results from the initial control strip to the CAT II for evaluation and comparison with the MDV results. If the MDV and density test results are contradictory, initiate an investigation. The CAT II shall recommend a plan to the Engineer for resolving the discrepancy based on the results of the investigation. Take corrective action when required by the MDV start-up process of 00745.16(b-1-c). After the requirements of 00745.16(b-1-c) have been met, take corrective action if the MDV test results show that two consecutive running average of four samples are outside the above limits for air voids, VMA, VFA, or P No. 200/Pbe ratio. Document the corrective action and notify the Engineer. If test results continue to be outside the tolerance, stop production and make adjustments. Restart production only after the Engineer has approved the proposed adjustments. If the MDV test results are outside tolerance, but the mixture meets the current requirements for gradation and asphalt content, an adjustment to the JMF targets is required. Do not start a new lot as a result of the adjustment. A request for an adjustment to the JMF targets may be made to the Engineer by the Contractor’s CAT-II. The requested change will be reviewed and documented by the Engineer. If acceptable, a revised JMF will be allowed. Clearly document the sublot test for which the adjusted targets are in effect. Adjustments for gradation shall not exceed the tolerances specified for the original JMF limits. Adjustments for AC content shall be within 0.5% of the original JMF. The JMF asphalt content may only be reduced if the production VMA meets or exceeds the above requirements. Adjustments for RAP content shall be within 5% of the original JMF, but shall not exceed the requirements of 00745.03. Regardless of these tolerances, the adjusted JMF shall be within the mixture specification control points of 00745.12. If a redesign of the mixture becomes necessary, submit a new JMF according to the requirements of these specifications. Perform a Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) test (AASHTO T 283) on a sample obtained during the first two days of production after QC test results verify that HMAC constituents with a weighting factor greater than one according to 00745.95 are in tolerance. Provide test results to the Engineer within four working days of obtaining the sample. Stop production and make adjustments if the TSR is less than 70. Restart production only after the Engineer has approved the proposed adjustments. b. Laboratory Compactor Selection -Use a Gyratory compactor for MDV when a Gyratory compactor is used to develop the JMF. For all other cases, use a Gyratory compactor or Marshall compactor, as selected by the Contractor. c. MDV Requirements at at Start-Up -Perform MDV testing at the start-up of the JMF production according to the following process: 1. Obtain a sample during the first 100 tons of production and immediately perform MDV testing. 09-1094.207 Page 56 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 3 -Preliminary ODOT-APWA Special Provisions.doc 2. If air voids and VMA are within tolerance, then continue remaining MDV testing at the established random QC sublot interval. If not, then go to step "3". 3. If air voids and/or VMA are out of tolerance according to 00745.16(b-1-a), then make adjustments and immediately obtain another sample and perform MDV testing. Go to step "4". 4. If air voids and VMA from the MDV testing in step "3" are within tolerance, then continue remaining MDV testing at the established random QC sublot interval. If not, go to step "5". 5. If air voids from step "3" are more than 1.5% from the target, then stop production immediately and make adjustments. If they are not, then go to step "6". Obtain approval of the Engineer before restarting production. Begin MDV testing again at step "1". 6. If air voids from step "3" are out of tolerance and 1.5% or less from the target, or the VMA from step "3" is out of tolerance, then make adjustments and immediately obtain another sample and perform MDV testing. Go to step "4". The initial MDV sample shall be used as the first random QC sublot test. Subsequent MDV samples required due to failure of start-up criteria will be used for a sublot QC test if the sample is taken within 100 tons of the scheduled random QC sample location. If not, the MDV testing shall be performed separate from, and not included in, the random QC testing program. Any required MDV testing will be completed at the Contractor’s expense. Add the following subsection: 00745.16(b-3) MDV for Open Graded HMAC -Adjust asphalt content and gradation targets for open graded HMAC during production as directed. The Engineer will document the sublot test for which the adjusted targets are in effect. 00745.24(a) Steel-Wheeled Rollers -Replace this subsection with the following subsection: (a) Steel-Wheeled Rollers -Provide steel-wheeled rollers with a minimum gross static weight as follows: Level 1 and Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Breakdown and Intermediate 8 ton 10 ton 12 ton Finish 6 ton 8 ton 10 ton 00745.40 Season and Temperature Limitations In the table, for Surface Temperature of Dense Graded Mixes 2 inches to 2 1/2 inches, replace "50 °F" with 40 °F".

(Use the following subsection .48(b) when required by the pavement design report.) 00745.48(b) Depositing -Replace the paragraph that begins "Deposit HMAC from..." with the following paragraph: Deposit HMAC from the hauling vehicles so segregation is prevented. Do not deliver the HMAC directly into the paving machine for wearing courses where the continuous length of the panel is greater than 500 feet. Deliver the HMAC to the paving machine by either a windrow pick-up machine or an end-dump transfer machine. 00745.49(b-1) General -In the paragraph that begins "Compliance with the density...", replace the sentence that begins "Use the MAMD method..." with the following sentence: Use the MAMD method of compaction measurement. Replace the paragraph that begins "For Level 3 and Level 4..." with the following two paragraphs: For Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 mixes, construct a control strip at the beginning of work on each JMF on the project according to ODOT TM 306. The purpose of the control strip is to determine the maximum density that can be achieved for the JMF, paving conditions, and equipment on the project. Additional control strips are necessary when there is a change in compaction equipment or when JMF targets are adjusted according to 00745.16(b-1-a). The Engineer may waive the control strip for irregular areas or areas too small to establish a reasonable roller pattern. Stop paving if three consecutive control strips fail to achieve the specified density. Take all actions necessary to resolve compaction problems. Do not resume paving until allowed by the Engineer. 00745.49(b-3) Moving Average Maximum Density (MAMD) Method -Replace the MAMD list with the following list: Course of Construction HMAC First HMAC lift less than 3 inches placed on aggregate base 91.0 All other 92.0 09-1094.207 Page 58 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Section 3 -Preliminary ODOT-APWA Special Provisions.doc 00745.49(b-4) Control Strip Method -Delete this subsection. 00745.49(b-5) Test Results -Renumber this subsection to b-4.

On the sheet, a standard access street cross-section is circled. 5th Street is proposed to be upgraded to access street standards and generally follow the guidelines set forth by this standard section. The PDT has made modifications to this standard access street crosssection for 5th Street based on several factors including compatibility with existing conditions, Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) input and to stay within existing public right-of-way. A design exception to allow for a narrower than standard cross-section will be sought. The typical proposed cross-section for the project will fit within the existing 60 foot wide public right of way. Additional background information regarding the City’s transportation system can be referenced in the TSP.

Group Guidelines: Come to every meeting The group has a short time together and needs to make the most of every meeting. Using meeting time to bring members back up to speed after an absence will waste valuable time. Listen until the speaker finishes* This guideline will help us remain respectful of each other. Focus on the agenda Our time together is short, we will need everyone’s help addressing each meeting’s objectives. Participate in the spirit of dialogue and negotiation The meeting room is not a battlefield, we want to identify ways to work together, and find a middle ground if we can, or at least understand each other’s point of view. Bring concerns to the table so we can find a solution together We can’t fix what we don’t know about. If you talk about an issue out in the community, but don’t bring it to the group, we lose the opportunity to find a solution together. Speak from your own experience We can only speak about what we know. We can’t address issues that no one at the table understands or has the power to change. You can still speak from your experience if you represent a group of people—say, “I have seen… or I have heard that… or I have been told …” Turn off your ringer; don’t answer the phone at the table I don’t think this requires explanation. Phones can be disruptive—it is a good reminder. *The facilitator has permission to break this rule when necessary. Decision-making: This committee is not a decision-making body. When it becomes important to see where individual members are on a particular topic, the group’s opinions will be assessed using a set of colored cards. This tool will help identify different perspectives to discuss and record. “Majority rules” will never be used to take a group position on a topic, because every perspective at the table is important.

In many cases, cyclists can „share the road? with motor vehicles because of low traffic volumes and speeds. Sidewalks or pathways should be provided for pedestrians.” ? Provide an overall benefit to the community. ? Provide an alternative traffic route to alleviate congestion on nearby streets where backups regularly occur during peak hours. ? Provide a traffic signal at 5th Street and Hwy 214 to allow protected vehicle turning movements from 5th Street and Meridian Drive onto Hwy 214 as well as protected pedestrian crossings of Hwy 214. PROJECT PURPOSE 5th Street Improvements Project 5th Street Improvements Project ect PROJECT Proje SCHEDULE as of 1/14/10 5th Street Improvements Frequently Asked Questions From the Open Houses 1. Why is this project needed as compared to other City priorities? Traffic congestion on nearby streets such as Settlemier and Hwy 214 is the primary reason for this project. The existing orientation of 5th Street and available right-of-way present an opportunity to effectively and efficiently address the congestion issue by providing another connection to Hwy 214. 2. Is there another solution that doesn’t change the existing street? Several conceptual options were discussed and reviewed during the planning stage and development of the City’s TSP. Concepts such a pedestrian bridge over Hwy 214, signals at other intersections, or connecting other roads to Hwy 214 would not provide the desired outcome of relieving traffic congestion around Settlemier and Hwy 214. 3. Why wasn’t the public notified earlier? What can I do if I oppose the project? This project was first identified in the City's TSP which is available on the City's website for the public to view. No No work beyond what was presented in the TSP has been completed until now. The public will have many opportunities throughout the CAC meeting process to provide comments and influence the proposed design leading up to the 30% design level. 4. What are the benefits of the project for those on 5th compared to the rest of the community? The project will benefit a large portion of the City. Residents within the neighborhood around 5th Street will benefit from new pedestrian facilities, improved drainage system, landscaping, street lighting, new pavement, signing, striping and a new signal at Hwy 214 to improve turning movements. Residents of the broader community will also benefit through the reduction in congestion at key intersections, most notably Hwy 214 and Settlemier. 5. How much would traffic and speed increase? A comprehensive traffic analysis is currently being completed to estimate changes in traffic and speed for 5th Street and all affected surrounding streets. The speed limit will kept the same at 20-25 mph. Preliminary results of the traffic analysis are expected to be available for the second CAC meeting. 6. Air pollution and noise would increase. How much? Preliminary modeling results using EPA's SCREEN3 indicate that exposure levels to pollutants from increased traffic on 5th Street would be well below the accepted thresholds established under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and would not be a significant impact. Noise impacts are being investigated. Relative increase in noise will be well below that required for mitigation (an increase in 10 dBA Leq or a peak hour level of 65 dBA Leq). 7. I’m concerned about the safety of the children and other pedestrians. Wouldn’t this project increase the danger for pedestrians because of the added traffic? One of the project goals is to provide enhanced pedestrian safety with new sidewalks, ADA ramps, crosswalks, curb extensions, street lighting, and traffic calming devices to maintain speed limit and balance the increase in traffic volume. The traffic analysis currently being completed will include an assessment of traffic safety based on a review of the City's TSP and other available planning documents. 8. How would parking be affected? Several options are available for parking on 5th Street as presented in the conceptual cross sections. Parallel parking on one or both sides of the street, similar to Front Street, is possible. Angle parking is another option that would be well suited when paired with a one way couplet option. Overall, the project design team’s goal is to increase parking capacity with this project. 9. What would happen to the crime levels? A new street lighting system and other enhanced facilities are expected to have a positive overall impact on crime although the overall project affect on crime levels is difficult to predict. 10. How would properties along 5th be affected including property values? All proposed roadway improvements on 5th Street, including sidewalk and landscaping, would be within existing publicly owned right-of-way. Some properties with frontages on 5th Street have front yards that extend into the 5th Street right-of-way. The portion of these yards that are within the right-of-way may be converted into landscaping and sidewalk areas as part of this project. Although we cannot predict future property values, new sidewalks and street trees as are planned with this project have been found to increase property values in other communities. 5th Street Improvements Project Meeting Agendas Woodburn 5th Street Improvements Project Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting #1 -January 6, 2010 Meeting Objectives: Present group’s charge statement Establish committee guidelines Review project timeline Develop a shared understanding of the project purpose Review log of comments, concerns and questions Review list of project alternatives and receive preliminary feedback Agenda: Agenda Item Action Lead Welcome Dan Brown, Public Works Director Introductions Eryn Kehe, Facilitator CAC Role /Process Schedule Acceptance Dan Brown, Public Works Director Meeting Guidelines Acceptance Eryn Kehe, Facilitator Project Background & Purpose Question/Answer Kevin Thelin, Murray, Smith & Assoc.

The open houses brought people to three locations on 5th Street. A total of 153 people signed in at the three meetings. Total attendance was likely even higher because not everyone who attended signed-in. Estimated attendance per meeting was 30 on November 18, 120 on November 19, and 50 on November 23. Meetings were held at the following locations: 1. November 18, 2009 Woodburn Seventh-day Adventist Church-1100 6th Street 2. November 19, 2009 St. Luke Catholic Church-417 Harrison Street 3. November 23, 2009 Nuevo Amanecer-12745th Street The purpose of the meetings was to introduce the project, seek initial input from the community and invite participation in the project’s Citizen Advisory Committee. Meeting Notice The City of Woodburn sent a a letter on Friday November 13, 2009 to 228 addresses announcing the first two November open houses and providing general project information. Another postcard followed on with an invitation to the third open house. A media release sent Monday November 16th provided project information and meeting announcements to the Woodburn Independent, Community Television, PCUN radio and La Pantera radio. The Woodburn Independent published an article announcing all three open houses on Tuesday November 17, 2009. Both St. Luke and Woodburn Seventh-day Adventist Church announced the meeting in the Sunday bulletins. Staff from Nuevo Amanecer provided additional notice of the November 23 event in advance of the meeting. Meeting Format Each meeting started at 6:00 p.m. The material presented at each meeting was the same. At each meeting, a series of boards provided basic project information including project location, project purpose and need, a process schedule, decision-making structure and information about the Citizen Ad visory 2 Sign-in Table at Nuevo Amanecer Committee (CAC). The boards provided information in English and in Spanish. Additionally, a project handout provided at the door answered frequently asked questions. English versions of these boards and handouts are provided at the end of this report. Each meeting included a short presentation from Dan Brown, Woodburn Public Works Director. He discussed the purpose of the meeting, stressed the City’s interest in public input, and talked about the project and its purpose. He also invited participation in the project’s CAC (CAC applications were provided at the meeting). At the November 19 and November 23 meetings, direct interpretation was used to communicate the presentation in English and in Spanish. The City of Woodburn staff provided the live interpretation services. After the presentation, questions and comments were welcomed from the public. Most of the question and answer period on November 19 was translated into Spanish, until it was determined that everyone in the room could participate in English.1 Spanish was the dominant language used during the question and comment period on November 23. The notes were scribed in Spanish. The questions and comments were interpreted for the English speakers on the project team. An officer (Officer Tlusty) from the police department was also present at each meeting. Several additional tools elicited and recorded feedback from those in attendance at the open house events. A large, white “graffiti board” was posted on the wall and marking pens allowed participants to share their thoughts with everyone. A sign nearby invited participants to write on the board what they wanted to say about the project and what details they thought the designers should know about the project. Post-it notes and pens were provided near a map of the area. A sign invited participants to share ideas by writing on a post-it note and sticking it on the map. Comment cards in both English and Spanish provided a final means of sharing input about the project. Comment cards and pens were available at the door. There were several boxes placed around the room to collect completed forms, and each form also included the City’s address and instructions for mailing. Feedback Received The following is a summary of the feedback received at the November 18, 19 and 23 Open Houses for the Woodburn 5th Street Improvement Project. As discussed above, feedback was received on one of the feedback boards, written during the question and comment period or received on a comment card. Fifty-one community members completed comment forms. A complete record of feedback received is included in the appendix of this report. 1 St Luke’s Priest attended the meeting and after approximately a half hour of questions, instructed City staff that interpretation into Spanish was unnecessary. 3 Some attendees shared that they thought the street should be opened and that it offered benefits to individuals and the community. A couple of different people agreed that a new traffic signal at 5th Street and Hwy 214 would be a benefit. Some shared that the benefit to the entire community makes the project worthwhile. One participant pointed out that you can never please everyone. The primary areas of concern shared by attendees during the meeting were safety, increased traffic, impact to property owners and loss of parking. In general, many participants expressed a concern that opening 5th Street to through-traffic would negatively impact neighbors, members of local churches and children more than any benefit to them or the community as a whole. Specific concerns can be categorized in the following areas: ? Increased Traffic (noise, air quality, congestion and safety): Many concerns expressed related to the projected increase in traffic (which at this early stage in the process, the project team could not quantify specifically). Many people expressed concern about the safety of children in the area. With more cars traveling on 5th Street, this was particularly a concern because of all the children who attend St. Luke School. Staff was clear to point out that trucks would be limited on 5th Street. Increased noise and decreased air quality were mentioned as additional concerns related to the increased number of cars. It was pointed out that more cars near the school would create a distraction for students. Some were concerned about congestion on the street, particularly at the intersection at Harrison where traffic must turn. It was pointed out that this area is a bus stop area and is particularly busy during pick-up and drop-off times. The public buses also travel through the area on Harrison. Multiple people expressed concern about where southbound traffic would go as 5th Street jogs to the west at Harrison Street and wondered if this would cause more congestion in the community rather than reducing it. A A few people were concerned about increased wear and tear on other nearby streets like Fir Street. An individual expressed the concern that if a lot of traffic was attracted to 5th Street, it would divide the community. There is also a community rabbit that lives in the area. A few people expressed concern about its safety. ? Speed: Another topic of concern was community safety. As mentioned above, there were concerns about whether more cars on 5th Street would mean reduced safety for pedestrians and children from the neighborhood or the school because of increased speeds. ? Crime: The concern raised was whether opening the street would increase crime in the area. ? Parking Loss: A few local residents and members of St. Luke’s parish expressed concern about losing parking on 5th Street. Parking is needed by parishioners of the church, particularly during services or special events. Currently, the parish uses the unimproved right-of-way along 5th Street for overflow parking. 4 ? Property Impacts: Property owners and others wanted to know how wide the new street would be and how this would impact existing owners. Although it was explained that the new street would be inside the existing public right-of-way (which is wider than the existing pavement), owners expressed concern about their landscaping. Others talked specifically about the Yew Street extension and expressed concern about what this would mean to the church and nearby homes if a new road were built there. Other concerns related to property impacts were about property values. Attendees were concerned that their property values would be negatively impacted by the project and they may have a hard time selling their home. Others expressed concern that the project would result in increased property taxes. ? Displacement: As was mentioned earlier, the possible extension of Yew Street is a concern to property owners in the area where property acquisition would be required. ? Cost: Some shared a concern about the high cost of of doing this study. Others asked if this was the best use of Woodburn’s money given the potential negative impacts and the current state of the economy. According to feedback received on the comment forms, most people heard about the open houses by mail or through the newspaper. Others heard about the events through St. Luke’s Church or the Nuevo Amanecer office. Most respondents noted that the most effective way to stay in touch with them in the future is through postal mailings. Alternatively, email and the Woodburn Independent are also effective. Most people who completed a survey said that their questions and concerns were addressed through the open house; however, many said that their concerns were only somewhat addressed. Below is a list of attendees’ suggestions for improving the process: Provide a pros and cons list for the project. Make a detailed map with accurate depiction of right of ways and how they affect given properties. The City seems to be set on the opening and "selling" it, rather than than truly being open to the community’s concerns. Need someone to explain the project better in Spanish. Don’t use overly technical vocabulary at the committee meetings. Listen to citizen comments. Let us know the final decision. Twenty-four people reported on their comment form that something else could have been done to more effectively inform community members about the open houses. Some of their suggestions include: Have Woodburn Independent rep at meetings so paper can report info to population. Earlier notification, more complete information on flier. Have a meeting earlier than this o Public meeting before it was awarded for design Larger info in newspaper. 5 Announce the meeting by telephone. Flyers distributed to wider audience (all property owners). Welcome to the Open House for the 5th Street Improvements Project THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING PROJECT BACKGROUND ject ??

Tonight we want to share information about the street improvement project the City of Woodburn is considering for 5th Street. Included for your convenience is project information and a set of Frequently Asked Questions. Staff is here to provide information and answer questions. Comment forms are available at the meeting for your suggestions about the project. Project staff are wearing name badges and are available to discuss the project with you. Staff will be here to speak with you from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.: Thank you for visiting with us tonight! Frequently Asked Questions 1. Why is this project needed? Woodburn’s transportation system suffers from congestion that is anticipated to worsen over time. The intersection of Settlemier and Hwy 214 is particularly difficult because it must handle people traveling to downtown businesses, nearby neighborhoods and those headed further South. The best way to deal with the congestion at this location is to widen Hwy 214, something that is already planned, and provide alternatives for local travelers staying inside Woodburn. Opening 5th Street to through traffic provides just such an alternative for people traveling to downtown businesses, homes or nearby Churches. 2. Why open Fifth Street instead of a different street? Fifth Street right-of-way is already established to provide this connection (previously open to Hwy 214) as compared to other nearby streets that would require more extensive modifications. 3. How much would traffic increase on 5th Street if it were opened to Hwy 214? 5th Street is designated as an Access Street in the City’s TSP, which is the next street classification above a Local Street and below the Service Collector and Arterial classifications. Once reconstructed, this roadway should carry traffic volumes similar to other Access Streets in the City (Astor, Country Club, Park, etc.). A traffic model will be developed during preliminary design to help project anticipated volumes. 4. Who would pay for improvements? The City would finance the project as designed, including all suggested improvements. 5. What if the project has an impact on my existing landscaping or fencing? If your landscaping or fence is on your property, and the construction of the project damages it, the City would replace it. The project will include new landscaping within the public right-of-way (yet to be designed) but would not strictly replace existing landscaping or improvements built in the public right-of-way. 6. Will existing street trees be removed? Depending on the design, some street trees may require removal. However, the design team will attempt to keep existing trees where possible. For example, it appears that most trees on the east side of the street along the St. Luke property would remain. 7. Will parking spaces be lost on 5th Street? The design process will determine the location and amount of on-street parking. Project staff will seek input from the Citizen Advisory Committee to determine how to best meet this need. 8. Will the City have to purchase property from private owners? Possibly. Property acquisition would be required to open Yew Street from 3rd to 5th Street. However, property acquisition is not anticipated on 5th Street or 3rd Street. 9. It is difficult to turn off 5th Street onto Hwy 214 today. How would the project address this? A new signal on Highway 214 is planned as part of the project and would accommodate in and out movements on 5th Street. 10. What would the project mean for a property owner on the street? Improvements that are planned for the project include new sidewalks, curbs, gutters, landscaping, storm water facilities, landscaping, street lighting, new pavement, signage and striping. The Citizen Advisory Committee will work with project staff to design the new streetscape. Opening 5th Street to through traffic would likely increase the flow of traffic on the street and make it more comparable to Astor, Country Club, or Park Street. 5th Street Improvements Project Appendix A: Full log of comments received at the November 2009 Open Houses Public Comment from Woodburn Open House November 18, 2009 • What will street parking look like? Will it be like Front Street? • What will the speed limit be? • How about the school on 5th St? • Potential safety issue for kids going home from St. Luke’s School • Potential safety issue for kids living and playing in the neighborhood? • Why does it have to be so wide? • Will this increase or decrease property value? • Why can’t there be an off-ramp redesign at Front St. overpass? • Yew Street extension: people would be displaced if it is put through to 5th. • Does model include school buses? Transit buses? • Bulb-outs at 214 may be an impediment to truck movements. • I would like to see a list of pros/cons in order to make a better evaluation of the worth of this project. • Parking (loss) • Safety of children • Increased traffic • Community rabbit endangerment • The project will divide the community in half • A signal at 5th and 214 would make it easier to get in and out of this church • Increased wear and tear on adjacent streets such as Fir St. • Stop play between local children • Bring the street up next to the St. Luke’s school • Dump traffic into small neighborhood. Flip Chart Notes P1. What is traffic impact on Meridian? Consider the traffic impact on Meridian! Worried about too many cars Interchange improvements at I-5 and 214 widening are needed now! What is planned at SALUD? There is no crosswalk at Harrison and Settlemier, why? Will traffic be rerouted down Meridian? How much? What about parking? Bike lanes? P2. How much traffic would be relieved on Settlemier? 30% reduction means more traffic on 5th Street Would there be sidewalks on both sides of 5th?(yes) Bike lanes? (no) Will 5th need to be widened at Hwy 214? (It may, but it will be minimal) What about the system on Harrison… 5th will become a “choke” Buses on Harrison line up in morning and other buses line 5th Street. P3. The St. Luke Parish need a lot of parking. Why didn’t front street improvements solve the problem? Will you improve Ogle?... please! How will this direct traffic to Harrison? Won’t it just back up at Settlemier? Is the 5th St. project tied to the 214 widening? (No… we are working to plan ahead.) Would we get the intersection at 5th and 214 if 5th isn’t open? (No. would likely result in no left turn allowed.) P4. What are ODOT’s standards to approve a signal? It needs to be 4-way street It would be a state funded signal. Woodburn 5th Street Improvements Open House November 19, 2009 Idea Board Comments -I am worried about increased traffic on 5th street. -Are speed bumps feasible on 5th? -Is this really necessary? -A signal is needed at Hwy 214 and 5th -Who is going to pay for it? Will those who pay really get a positive benefit from the cost they bear? -Will Fir be improved too? -Who really benefits from this change and who is being asked to sacrifice for this change?

Flip Chart Notes and Citizen Comments Woodburn 5th Street Improvements Open House November 23, 2009 Nuevo Amanecer Idea Board Comments -What about Yew Street? This was not addressed. 5th Street jogs at Harrison, and is not a thru street. Will that be addressed? -Will property be condemned for this project? Especially pushing Yew through. -What is the benefit of this project for our children? This project will get rid of an area where our children currently play. They like to play at Nuevo Amanecer right next to 5th Street. -As the project team considers 5th Street, they should also consider a project to put in a traffic signal in front of the clinic. -What is going to happen to the school bus stop at Nuevo Amanecer? -I am worried about the crosswalk at the high school -What will we do while you guys work on the roads? Will it be safe? -City of Woodburn, listen to my comments please! -I am worried about the high school students that will walk through the property? How would they cross safely to the streets to get to Settlemier? -Concern about traffic on 5th Street that won’t let residents from Nuevo Amanecer leave as scheduled and delay exiting -Where will the bus stop be for Nuevo Amanecer children? Will that change? Presentation Comments and Concerns -What are the plans for buses? -If 5th Street is not opened, does that mean there won’t be a traffic signal? -Is there a plan to open 5th Street more? What about Harrison? No! -The biggest concern is traffic, buses, and traffic backups on Harrison. -What will happen with the traffic flow? -An analysis will cost a lot. -It would be good to have a traffic signal to cross the road. -Concern about children crossing -Limits to reduce speed -Concern for children who go to St. Luke’s, etc. -How will you protect 5th Street from delinquents if they have more access? -If the only issue is lighting, put in more lights -Traffic is a problem -There are lots of open streets. Why choose 5th Street and not Settlemeir? -This project will only move traffic from one place to another. There will always be traffic. -This will benefit other families and communities, not us -Need more diagonal parking on Yew Street -Should put a stop sign where there is currently a barricade roadblock -Concern that the committee will talk using very technical vocabulary that is difficult to understand -Should consider the pros and cons of this project -You can’t please everyone -Is there a plan to change the bus stops? Woodburn 5th Street Improvement Project Comment Card Responses November 18, 19 and 23, 2009 – Open Houses Summary of Comments Collected Fiftyone community members completed comment forms at the November 18, 19 and 23 Open Houses for the Woodburn 5th Street Improvement Project. The following is a summary of their feedback. Comments and Questions about the Project: Comment or Concern Number Responses • Do not agree that 5th Street should be opened 10 • Agree that 5th street should be opened 3 • Concern that project will have a negative impact on the safety of neighborhood children, especially when they exit school buses 8 • Need traffic light or crosswalk at Hwy 214 and Fifth Street to protect pedestrian traffic 9 • Concern about impact on school (noise, fumes, student safety, etc.) 4 • Who will this project benefit? It does not seem like it will benefit the neighborhood 3 • Concern that St. Luke’s church will be negatively impacted and lose parking spaces 3 • In agreement with any project that is good for the whole community. 3 • This project will create more traffic in the area 3 • A light should be installed outside of Nuevo Amanecer at Hwy 214 2 • What is going to happen to the school bus stop located at Nuevo Amanecer? 1 • Opening Commercial to 214 would be a better option. 1 • This project will improve safety and livability of Woodburn as a whole 1 Communication Most people heard about the open houses by mail or newspaper. Many also received information through the Nuevo Amanecer office, or through St. Luke’s Church announcement or bulletin. Most respondents noted that the most effective way to stay in touch with them in the future is through postal mailings. Alternatively, email and the Woodburn Independent are effective. Quality of Information Most people felt that their questions and concerns had been addressed through the open house. Nineteen said that staff had addressed their concerns, fifteen responded that their concerns were somewhat addressed, and seven felt that their concerns were not addressed. Suggestions and concerns include: • Make a detailed map with accurate depiction of right of ways and their effect on properties. • A Woodburn Independent representative should attend meetings and report information to the community. • Staff seems to be set on the opening and "selling" the project, rather than truly being open to the community’s concerns. • It would have been helpful if the meeting had started with an explanation of the project and the reasons for it. The speaker used too much technical language. • Questions were answered, but not satisfactorily. People are concerned about safety, children, noise, traffic, necessity of this road. Suggestions for future open houses and outreach Twenty-four people thought that something else could have been done to more effectively inform community members about the open houses. Some of their suggestions include: • Earlier notification of meeting with more complete information. (4 comments) • Should have had a public meeting before the project entered this phase. (2 comments) • Announce the meeting by telephone. (2 comments) • Place a larger ad in newspaper to announce meeting. • Hold more community meetings. • Mail all affected property owners of the plan. • Should first give a brief presentation, and then open the meeting to the drop-in open house style. • Should distribute flyers to wider audience. • Need someone to explain the project better in Spanish. • Let us know the final decision. Appendix of All Responses 1) Comments and Questions about the Project: • I think that a traffic light or crosswalk is really needed at 214 and Park Ave by Salud. It is very important. It is very dangerous to cross, especially with kids. We don't need accidents!!! Please do something about it ASAP!!! • If pedestrian safety is the issue, do, instead of opening Fifth, a PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE over 214. Opening 5th will NOT benefit the entire city, it will only benefit those people north of 214 and south of 214 in the neighborhood of 5th in Tukwila. • To whom will it benefit? On Sundays we are already very busy traffic from everywhere. Just please think what is or to whom's good for. • I am unconvinced that this project is necessary at this time. There was nothing presented that "confirms" the ODOT project will occur in the near future and the addition of a traffic light will create more congestion. The school impact issues must be addressed > noise, fumes, student safety. • I can understand opposition from neighborhood, but safety and livability to other 19,800 citizens of the community should take precedence over the objectives and inconvenience of 200. • The street should not be opened because it would harm us, the school children, and the children living at Nuevo Amanecer. • Opening the street would be dangerous for children getting off of buses because when they cross the street they don't always look to see if cars are coming. • This project might adversely affect the apartment complex because it will open the street to more traffic and might be dangerous for the children. If 5th Street is opened, a light should be installed outside of the apartment complex at Hwy 214. • Crosswalks and safer crossing at 5th and 214 is very necessary. • What is going to happen to the school bus stop located on 5th Street in front of the apartment offices? • I agree that 5th Street should be opened. • We do not agree with the plan to open 5th Street because it will be dangerous for the children exiting school buses on the street. • • I do not agree with the plan to open 5th Street. • I feel that opening Commercial to 214 would be a better option. • I think this project is a good idea. I hope it brings down crime rates. • I am very concerned that there is no traffic signal at Hwy 214 because my son crosses there to go to the French Prairie school. A traffic signal is needed so that children don't fear getting hit by cars. • It is not a good idea to open Fifth Street. I do not agree with the project because there will likely be more accidents and more danger for small children. This project will affect our children. When a child dies, he will never return. The life of a child is much more important than opening a street. I do not agree with this project. • When will Yew St. part be designed, implemented, etc? It appears that the church on 5th will lose its parking lot and part of the building. • If the project team finds that this project is necessary, please put a light at the exit/entrance of Nuevo Amanecer onto the street. • Opening 5th Street will be dangerous for our children trying to cross the streets. There is already lots of traffic, and with this project it will worsen. It would be better to just put a light between 5th Street and Hwy 214 and a crosswalk for the safety of the community." • Thank you so much for providing this communication opportunity for our community. "Communication is the heart of community." Thank you for that. We will be searching for a win-win solution to the growth and development of our community. I am in favor of building pedestrian overpasses as an option in Woodburn. • This project will probably bring more traffic in front of Nuevo Amaecer, and might create more crimes in the area. I don't agree with this project because it will create more traffic, which will impact the children. • Putting the traffic signal in will be important. • I am worried about the children who attend the school because they may be distracted by construction noise. I am also worried about the effects of smoke and construction on human health. The Church would also lose parking spaces. Fifth Street is not a major road. If the suggested improvements are made, traffic will worsen. It would be better to put in sidewalks rather than open the road. • It is a bad idea to open Fifth Street. I don't believe there will be any benefit in fixing the road and putting in sidewalks. • My family asks that you consider the effects of construction on the children's safety, and that you not damage the church. Thank you. • But am opposed because of amount of traffic to already congested area -air quality and noise at school. • There are other alternatives for pedestrian safety to cross 214. How about a pedestrian overpass? • From the bottleneck at 214 in senior citizen area and the threats of harm to pedestrians and both St. Luke and Woodburn area. I feel it would be less stressful to Woodburn to run 214 from 99E/214 straight than to Hwy 5. Traffic, such as trucks, would benefit straight instead of zig zag 214 to 99E to 214. • Should have done this years ago before someone gets killed. Too many cars trying to get onto 214 and way too many women with children trying to cross the road with multiple children in tow. Miracle nobody killed already. • I am completely in agreement with anything that does good for the community. • I don't see this as a traffic priority. # the school bus will stop in the main road and let kids off. They should go around the 5th street corner. ODOT just spent big tax $ at Settlemier. 6 way they (ODOT) backed traffic up by putting in the useless bike lane and not allow R free turn onto Scholl's Ferry Road. The biggest congestion is at I-5 and exit 27. That whole interchange is poorly managed. Putting a thru 5th street in a heavy residential area is putting children at risk -increased risk. • I am for whatever is better for the community as a whole. 2) How did you hear about today's meeting?

"Green" vs. "dirty gas" really important! air quality survey. Imagine/consider every car as a buffalo, we in our city want to keep our neighborhood protected by a shield/fence, we do not want the buffalo stampeding through our village. 5) Could something have been done differently to better convey information? Yes 24 No 9 Comments: • Mail ALL affected property owners of the plan -officially by mail. Our property owner has yet to hear from you. • Have advanced warning of meeting so more could attend. Knew only 4 days prior. • Earlier notification, more complete information on flier. • Have a meeting earlier than this. • see above • Larger info in newspaper. EARLIER. • Timeline -earlier notification of project, earlier notification about meeting. Other: Feels like a done deal. • More community meetings. • Public meeting before it was awarded for design. • Announce the meeting by telephone • Brief presentation first, then "open house" plan. • Flyers distributed to wider audience. I didn't receive one and only heard about it at another meeting. • Need someone to explain the project better in Spanish. • Keep up the good work of increasing communication in our community. • Should contact us by telephone or text messages. • Let us know the final decision 1 Woodburn 5th Street Improvements Project Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting# 1 January 6, 2010 Committee Members present Cindy Wurdinger-Kelly Tom Lonenger Mario Magana Caroline Sanchez-Ruiz Linda Wilmes-Smith Ed Krupicka Christine Vistica Tom Welch Dave Christoff Peppi Kosikowski Robert Carney Casey Robles Paul Iverson Jessy Olsen Don Judson Shawn Baird Committee Members absent Myrna Wagner Jaime Estrada Barbara Jean Burt Jerry Ambris Staff Dan Brown, City of Woodburn Public Works Director Eric Liljequist, City of Woodburn Kevin Thelin, Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Gabe Crop, Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Duane Barrick, City of Woodburn Facilitation Team Eryn Deeming Kehe, JLA Public Involvement Sylvia Ciborowski, JLA Public Involvement Other Attendees Mel Schmidt John Smith Welcome and Introductions Dan Brown began the meeting and introduced staff. He thanked members for their participation in the public involvement process. Eryn Deeming Kehe introduced herself as facilitator for the Woodburn Fifth Street Citizen Advisory Committee meetings. Gabe Crop and Kevin Thelin of Murray, Smith and Associates introduced themselves. CAC members then made self introduction. Eryn directed members to look through their meeting binders, and reviewed the agenda. 2 CAC Role/Process Schedule Committee Charge Eryn read the charge statement of the CAC and discussed the role of the group. She explained that members have been assembled to work with the project team to design the best project possible. Members’ ideas will be recorded and shared with project team and staff. City staff will make a recommendation to City Council, which will include CAC feedback. City Council will ultimately decide whether or not the project will move forward. The CAC is not a decisionmaking body. Members’ participation in the CAC does not exclude them from participating in other parts of the Woodburn 5th Street public process. A committee member asked whether City staff is required to comply with the CAC recommendation if the group comes to a majority consensus. Dan Brown replied that staff is not required to make a decision in tune with CAC feedback. However, CAC feedback will be forwarded to City Council along with the staff recommendation. City Council also understands that the CAC is made up of people who are mostly opposed to the project. The City Council does not apply a rigid system in weighing CAC feedback versus the staff recommendation. City Council understands that the CAC represents a small percentage of the community, though it does include a good portion of the people most affected by the project. Committee members accepted their charge by unanimous feedback. Project Schedule Eryn explained the CAC meeting schedule. The group will meet four times, with flexibility to have five or six meetings if needed. The Council hearing could be as early as April 2010. Eric Liljequist is the main contact for this committee, and members should send comments and questions to Eric by email at eric.liljequist@ci.woodburn.or.us or by phone by calling 503-982-5241. Meeting Guidelines Eryn read the meeting guidelines which lay out ground rules for the committee. Committee members discussed the guidelines, and contributed the following additions: Members may send an alternate if they are not available for a meeting. Staff will distribute information from the meeting as soon as possible, at least the Friday before the next meeting. Subsequent to the meeting, it was determined that future meetings would be held on Thursday evenings. As such, the project design team requests that information be made available no later than the Monday afternoon prior to each meeting so the weekend can be utilized if needed to finish the materials. This will be discussed and confirmed at the next meeting. Committee members accepted the meeting guidelines. 3 Project Background and Purpose Dan Brown reviewed the purpose of the 5th Street Improvements Project. He explained that the main motivation driving the project is opportunity. ODOT is currently in the planning phase for a project to widen Highway 214 to five lanes, which means that City now has a good opportunity to work on the 5th Street project in conjunction with the ODOT project. Extending 5th Street has always been a part of Woodburn’s Transportation System Plan (TSP), and the opportunity to move ahead has pushed the project to a higher priority. A committee member asked about the likelihood of the Hwy 214 widening project moving forward. Dan responded that the project is currently in the environmental assessment process, and that ODOT is spending considerable sums of money on the project, indicating that it will probably move forward. However, there is not yet funding for construction, which is at least $45 million. Committee members asked questions about the project’s relationship to the TSP and transportation planning. Dan Brown explained that there originally were three alternatives for the area, but that the 2005 TSP no longer lists the other two alternatives because they are no longer being considered. He clarified that there was no TSP in place until the 1990s. Since then, extending 5th Street has been in the works. A Committee member asked how the project will be funded. Dan explained that, if approved, the project will be funded by system development charges (SDCs). Developers are required to contribute to the SDC fund. No grant money will be used, and community members’ taxes will not be affected. No property taxes are applied towards transportation projects, and property owners along 5th Street will not be allocated any portion of the cost. A committee member asked about the benefit of the 5th Street project. Dan explained that improved access, connectivity, and public safety are the main goals of this project. The project will provide a needed alternate North-South route through the city, and allow traffic to move across Hwy 214 with a signalized intersection. The City believes that connecting 5th Street and Meridian is important to the long-term interest of the city. A major congestion problem in Woodburn is created because traffic that moves North-South must first move East-West by entering either Hwy 214 or Hwy 99. The project aims to keep some local traffic off of these major highways to limit competition with regional traffic. Dan explained that a later CAC meeting will include a presentation on the City’s traffic analysis to understand how traffic is really moving. Observations also indicate that as many as 150 pedestrians per day try to cross Hwy 214 at 5th and Meridian. Traffic engineers will provide a more detailed analysis on pedestrian traffic counts, and CAC members will receive copies of this data when it is available. Dan noted that $1.3 million has been earmarked for the 5th Street Improvements Project. Committee members asked about congestion, and which streets are considered congested. Dan explained that congestion is measured by volume of traffic and capacity of a road. The Settlemier 4 Ave/Hwy 214 intersection and Meridian/Hwy 214 intersection are both congested at certain times of day. Settlemier Ave, Harrison Street, and Lincoln Street are considered congested. Hwy 214 from Hwy 99 to I-5 is extremely congested. Public Feedback Log Eryn directed the group to the last tab in their binder, which includes a comment/response log. This log contains all public comments that City staff has heard regarding the project. Eryn asked members to read this in order to see if there are any comments or concerns missing. Members should report any gaps to Eric Liljequist prior to or at the next CAC meeting. The consultant team will keep this log as a living document, and record all public comments. Preliminary Alternatives Gabe Crop of Murray, Smith & Associates reviewed the preliminary alternatives for the 5th Street Improvements Project. He directed members to the technical documents and maps included in their binders. The first table lists the various alternatives along with the general community concerns about each. Gabriel explained that the project purpose is partially to alleviate traffic. There will be other potential benefits, such as pedestrian safety (if the Hwy214/5th Street intersection is signalized), new sidewalks on 5th Street, parking opportunities, and new facilities that will enhance the appearance of 5th Street. There are currently two main alternatives for the project, with variations of each. There is also a pedestrian bridge alternative, and a no-build option. The alternatives include: Alternative 1: Two-way traffic option on 5th Street, with 5th street connected to Hwy 214. -Alternative 1b: two-way traffic option plus a Yew Street extension between 3rd and 5th streets. The Yew Street extension would likely require a 50 ft wide rightof-way, which would require acquisition of one single-family residence on 3rd Street, the 6-plex of apartments on 5th Street, and part of the parking lot of the Community Church. Alternative 2: Couplet option. 5th Street and 3rd would become one-way streets in opposite directions. -Alternative 2a: Counterclockwise movement of traffic. -Alternative 2b: Clockwise movement of traffic. -Alternatives 2a and 2b would require the Yew Street extension, but may allow for construction of a narrower street. Alternative 3: Pedestrian Bridge over Hwy 214 -This would not get at the purpose of the project, but would improve pedestrian safety. The project team has not focused on this alternative because it does not address the traffic issue and is very expensive. Alternative 4: No-build option, which would leave 5th Street as-is. 5 Gabe explained that cost estimates for the alternatives are very preliminary, and that $1.3 million was approved in the budget. Acquisition of right-of-way (ROW) is one of the huge expenses, especially for the Yew Street extension acquisitions. Committee members discussed the project alternatives. One committee member suggested using the street on the backside of the Nuevo Amanecer apartment complex rather than extending Yew Street. Dan Brown responded that this might remove a lot of multi-family parking or create other issues. The Yew Street extension was evaluated as a good option from a traffic point of view because it extends a street already in existence, rather than possibly creating a zigzag street. The project team will investigate the suggestion of creating a new public street by utilizing the paved roadway in the Nuevo Amanecer development instead of extending Yew Street to determine its feasibility. Another committee member asked at what point ROW acquisitions would be discussed. Dan replied that the ROW acquisition process for this project will follow Oregon statutory requirements, using fair market value and appraisals in a public ROW acquisition process. Staff will have to come up with enough benefits to justify ROW acquisitions to extend Yew Street. The City can use typical appraised values to create cost estimates for ROW acquisitions to be forwarded to City Council as part of the project budget. Gabe explained that, if the 5th Street Improvements Project is approved, the design team needs to know the community priorities for the project design. The team will need CAC and community feedback to answer various design priority questions, such as: Which trees would the community like to preserve, and which would be okay to remove? Should sidewalks be constructed on one or both sides of 5th Street? Where is parking needed? Gabe explained some of the figures included in the binder which illustrate what the street could potentially look like. “Flexible design areas” in the figures indicate areas where there is the opportunity to do something different based on interests of the community. Committee members are encouraged to look at these figures and email staff with their design priorities. Committee members asked questions, made comments, and requested information on the following topics to be included in the next meetings: ? Staff was asked to provide copies of 2005 TSP update which eliminated the two other alternatives. ? Request information about the impact of creating a new public street inside of Nuevo Amanecer instead of extending Yew Street to determine its feasibility. ? Request for traffic information for the following streets: Harrison, Settlemier, Boones Ferry, and Lincoln between downtown and Settlemier. ? What is the proposed circulation pattern and plan for Harrison Street? ? Suggest extending Yew Street all the way to Front Street, instead of dumping traffic onto Harrison. The proposed traffic light on Hwy 214 at 5th Street seems to be most beneficial to the businesses and community on Meridian North of Hwy 214. If traffic is going to be 6 shuttled onto Harrison, it just seems like a bottleneck will be moved from one location to another. ? Request for more information about fire, emergency response and public safety analysis. ? Request for information about how far 5th Street will be extended onto property when widened. ? The committee discussed a field trip for those members and community members who would like to walk along 5th Street to more clearly visualize proposed improvements. 1 Woodburn 5th Street Walking Tour Saturday, January 23, 2010 10:00 am to 11:30 am In Attendance: Public Alan Condit Angel Espinoza Bruce Reddick Dave Guile Diana Guzman John Smith Julianie Simanovicki Margarito Rivera Michele Palmer Renee Perdue Rick Lytle Rob Smith CAC Members Casey Robles Cindy Wurdinger-Kelly Dave Christoff Ed Krupicka Jaime Estrada Jerry Ambris Linda Wilmes-Smith Paul Iverson Peppi Kosikowski Tom Lonergan Project Team Dan Brown, City of Woodburn Duane Barrick, City of Woodburn Eric Linquist, City of Woodburn Marta Carrillo, City of Woodburn Eryn Kehe, JLA Public Involvement Gabe Crop, MSA Kevin Thelin, MSA Background: City staff organized a walking tour in response to a suggestion by a member of the CAC at their first meeting on January 6, 2010. Postcards announcing the event in English and Spanish were sent to all CAC members and to 224 homes on and around 5th Street. Twenty-two people attended the event, including ten CAC members. The consultant team marked the public right-of-way at at several locations along 5th Street. The tour began at Harrison and stopped at approximately six separate locations where the team pointed out the publically owned property and discussed design options for the location of sidewalks, parking and landscaping. Those in attendance shared several comments and questions which are recorded below. Questions necessitating responses from the Project Design Team were provided and follow below in italic text. Comments and Questions Received: Define “right-of-way”. Right-of-way as referred to in the context of this project means the publicly owned space that can be used for improvements. The right-ofway for 5th Street is 60 feet wide. I live here; it doesn’t make sense to create a one-way couplet. Question about radius of corner at Harrison. It is expected that the curb radius at the corners of Harrison and 5th Street will be reconstructed and rounded as part of this project to better allow for buses to turn without using the entire roadway. 2 What other options have been considered other than 5th? Several options were considered during development of the City’s TSP to improve the transportation system. The 5th Street improvements project was identified as a key improvement. Can we reduce the size of sidewalks and landscaping to keep the road out of people’s yards? Generally yes. The flexible design areas shown in the preliminary figures, which include parking, sidewalks and landscaping can be designed to best fit within the available space to reduce impacts to existing features within the public right-of-way such as existing landscaping. Consider 4 foot sidewalks if we include them on both sides. What are minimum standards for local streets? 5th Street is proposed to become and “Access” street as defined in the TSP. Typical standards for Access streets include 12 foot wide travel lanes, 8 foot wide parking on both sides, 6 foot wide landscaping strips on both sides and 6 foot wide sidewalks on both sides. These are “typical” dimensions rather than “minimum” dimensions and the City expects to adjust these typical features and dimensions for this project. Traffic calming is going to be needed. Can we design the street differently in different parts of 5th street? Yes, certain features and dimensions of features and be adjusted accordingly, although some level of consistency is desirable along the street. How do you decide when to install a crosswalk and when do you install one with flashing lights? Several factors must be considered prior to installing a crosswalk or crosswalk with flashing lights including volume of pedestrian traffic, speed, other nearby crossing locations etc. It is expected that crosswalk locations would be determined during final design. The signs in advance of a crosswalk help me as a driver know when to watch for pedestrians. Need advance signage to communicate the truck restriction. This is currently a problem on Settlemier. Is there money left to resurface Fir Street? This project needs to consider the impact on increased traffic on side streets. Funds for this project will be limited to improvements on 5th Street and Yew Street if the Yew Street connection is made. Funds for resurfacing other side streets will come from the City’s ongoing maintenance funds and are subject to the priorities of which streets have the most need. What happens to the traffic once it hits Harrison? Traffic will flow similar to the current configuration with right or left turn movements. Traffic analysis will be completed to determine if potential congestion would occur. From Fir Street, north it would be best to keep curb line where it is to protect front yards. Do we have to have on-street parking on both sides? No. Parking can be designed on one side only, although the City would prefer to have parking on at least one side of the street. Limit parking to one side in the more narrow areas of 5th Street. It is obvious that the neighborhood needs parking in the north area of 5th Street. 3 Discussion about Yew St. and various alternatives. The potential Yew Street extension will be discussed in more detail at CAC Meeting #2. Do we have to have a planter between the sidewalk and the pavement? No, although the benefit of this orientation is separation of the pedestrian from traffic thereby increasing pedestrian safety. Keep apartments because there is a need for affordable housing and drug abuse housing. Thank you for doing this! I am open to this. All I ask for is speed humps on adjoining streets like High St., Church St. between 5th and Settlemier. Starting at the Church, run 4’ sidewalk on one side of the street for the length of the project without parallel parking. Parallel parking on the opposite side with curb. Save mature trees and front yards. Convert the 6-plex to low income or affordable housing (A&D housing/sex offender stock). Cut into Church parking area for the extension to 3rd Street to keep the 6-plex. 1 Woodburn 5th Street Improvements Project Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting #2 January 28, 2010 Committee Members present Cindy Wurdinger-Kelly Tom Lonerger Mario Magana Caroline Sanchez-Ruiz Ed Krupicka Christine Vistica Tom Welch Jaime Estrada Dave Christoff Jerry Ambris Peppi Kosikowski Robert Carney Casey Robles Paul Iverson Jessy Olsen Laura E. Isiordia Committee Members absent Myrna Wagner Barbara Jean Burt Linda Wilmes-Smith Shawn Baird Staff Dan Brown, City of Woodburn Public Works Director Eric Liljequist, City of Woodburn Duane Barrick, City of Woodburn Marta Carrillo, City of Woodburn Kevin Thelin, Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Gabe Crop, Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Eryn Deeming Kehe, JLA Public Involvement Sam Beresky, JLA Public Involvement Eleven members of the public attended this meeting. Welcome and Introductions Eryn Deeming Kehe welcomed the group, reviewed use and purpose of the “decision cards” and reviewed the agenda. The main purpose of the meeting was to review the comment/response log, concerns and questions, review the list of project alternatives, hear staff perspective and to receive preliminary feedback from the CAC. Staff, the public and CAC members introduced themselves. The CAC approved the Meeting #1 Summary. Eryn reviewed the walking tour that took place on January 23, 2010. She said approximately 20 people participated in the walk of the project area. Flags were placed along the right-of-way (ROW) for CAC members and the public to get a better idea of the ROW dimensions. Six foot wide plastic sheeting to represent sidewalk was laid out for participants to gauge potential 2 sidewalk width. On the tour, the group discussed the need for the design to fit the environment and noticed the narrowing of 5th Street to the north, closer to the barrier. The public was notified of the Walking Tour through a postcard sent January 14th sent to every address within a 250-foot radius of the project area. The tour announcement was also posted on the project website and in the St. Luke’s parish bulletin. Review Comment/Response Log Gabe Crop let the committee know that the project team will continue to review comments from the Open Houses and will add comments from the committee and the public from each CAC meeting. Eryn mentioned that the comment log is meant to be a register of comments the project team has heard throughout the project. She said that comments can also be emailed directly to Eric Liljequist at the City of Woodburn at eric.liljequist@ci.woodburn.or.us or by phone by calling 503-982-5241. Preliminary Alternatives (CAC and Public Questions appear in italics) Transportation System Plan (TSP) Review: Gabe gave a brief review of the excerpt (Chapter 5) from the Transportation System Plan (TSP) provided in each packet to CAC members. The entire TSP can be found on the city website. The TSP concludes with the recommendation that the series of projects defined as Alternative 2 be completed. What were the criteria for selecting Alternative 2 in the TSP? Dan Brown responded and said that the adoption of the TSP was the result of a separate public process with final adoption by the Woodburn City Council. It was adopted in 2005 with Alternative 2 providing an improved level of connectivity for Woodburn and access across 214. Have any of the projects in Alternative 2 in the TSP been completed? Dan Brown said there is a current backlog of TSP projects because of a lack of funding. The 5th Street Improvements rose to the top of the TSP due to state funding for the widening of 214. Ideally, the 5th Street Improvements should be completed prior to the 214 improvements. If the city does not improve 5th Street, could they get fined by ODOT? No, but already allocated federal and state dollars are being spent to explore widening Hwy 214 assuming 5th Street is opened per the TSP. The lack of follow through by the City could have ramifications if it ended up not being opened. Who will be paying for the Hwy 214 project? ODOT and Federal dollars will be spent to widen 214 and these plans could be compromised or changed if 5th street is not opened. Traffic Information: 3 Gabe gave a brief overview of the traffic flow analysis, including current traffic counts (hand out). The project team is planning to return at the next meeting with the results of the traffic modeling so the CAC will be able to compare the current traffic counts with the estimates for the area in the future. Availability of the results depends on how quickly ODOT (“owner” of the model) is able to complete the model run. Preliminary Alternatives: Gabe gave a short overview of 5th Street Alternatives 1a and 1b: • Alternative 1a: Two-way traffic option on 5th Street, with 5th street connected to Hwy 214. • Alternative 1b: Two-way traffic option on 5th Street same as Alternative 1A plus the Yew Street extension between 3rd and 5th streets. In regards to cross-section A-A, if there was a 4-foot sidewalk instead of a 6-foot sidewalk, the traffic lanes could be 12 feet instead of 11 feet. Yes, there is some flexibility on the width of elements like this. As things vary from the City’s standard they need to be approved on a case-by-case basis. Would the trees along the side of St. Luke’s survive? As currently drawn, the intent would be to save the trees. However, an arborist would be consulted to determine if damage to the root system would occur during and after construction. Should the lanes be a consistent width along the length of the street? Ideally, yes. There are instances that could lead to exceptions of this, however, such as a existing features determined to be essential to keep. Gabe gave a short overview of Alternative 2a and 2b: • Alternative 2: Couplet option. 5th Street and 3rd would become one-way streets in opposite directions. -Alternative 2a: Counterclockwise movement of traffic. -Alternative 2b: Clockwise movement of traffic. -Alternatives 2a and 2b would require the Yew Street extension, but may allow for construction of a narrower street. Clockwise motion makes the most sense because of the connection at Harrison. Would Harrison remain a 2-way street? Yes. It seems that any one-way option would increase traffic, as any resident on either 3rd or 5th will have to complete the entire loop each time they leave or return home. Event traffic at St. Luke’s should be accounted for. A one-way street does not make sense when event traffic is considered. Both school busses and public busses need to be considered. 4 The current drop-off and pick-up rotation at St. Luke’s has drivers entering off of 5th Street and exiting on 3rd Street. School busses currently have a difficult time turning the corner onto 5th from Harrison. How many parking spaces will be provided near the school with Alternative 2? (Cross Section EE) The number of spaces will be approximately as shown on Figure 2, although a few of the spaces shown will likely be removed to allow for better turning movements. Will the sidewalk continue on 5th street all the way to 214? Yes. Why will there be a sidewalk and parking provided on Yew Street if no-one lives on that street? For connectivity and access. Yew Street Extension: Gabe gave a brief description of the Yew Street Connection Options and the other 5th to 3rd connection options. The intent of the Green Option (#4) was to align it along the properties adjacent to Nuevo Amanecer not on the parking of Nuevo Amanecer. It could be eventually connected all the way to 1st. With any Yew Street connection, Yew Yew should be extended east to 1st to make an easy connection to downtown Woodburn. An extension of Yew St. to 1st Street is not currently planned as part of this project and is not part of the TSP. Such an extension would not be connected to 1st because there is an already planned and approved housing development between 1st and 2nd Streets. It seems that any option will put more traffic on 3rd and 5th and subsequently Harrison. The project team will have the modeling numbers at the next CAC meeting so the group will have a better understanding of potential traffic numbers. The city wants to put a traffic signal at 5th so it does not matter which alternative we select, the city will complete what it wants regardless of our desires. If that were the case, the city hopes to receive feedback to help ensure that the proposed project is the best possible option for all. Recall that there is a “no build” option that is being considered along with the other options. If the city goes ahead with the 5th Street Improvements, would the traffic signal at 214 not be completed until ODOT widens the highway? If the project moves ahead and traffic signal warrants are met, the city could construct a traffic signal at the intersection prior to the widening of 214. 5 The pros and cons are outlined for each of the options; the pros and cons should be outlined for the entire project. One purpose for the dot exercise that is next on the agenda, is to begin the process of creating just such a list. Who will be traveling, coming to and from where, along the new 5th Street Improvements? The project will provide improved access and options from the surrounding neighborhood to and from 214 as well as improved options and access to downtown for those than do not live in the neighborhood. Will it provide improved access to downtown for non-residents as well? Yes. The Green and Yellow options would be very expensive for property acquisition and road building. Taking any portion of property of the Woodburn Community Church of Christ could negatively impact the entire property causing a complete relocation. The Church could not function without the parking lot and there are plans to use the back corner field as a playground, ballpark or food bank. Making a connection as far east as possible makes the most sense from a connectivity and emergency access standpoint. Currently there is so little traffic on 5th and 3rd Streets that these are safe streets for children so any option will eliminate space for children. As a possible mitigation, the project could also pay for a playground on the Woodburn Community Church of Christ property. Eric gave a brief description of how the Pedestrian Bridge option does not address the connectivity goals of the project. Eryn gave voting instructions to the CAC (Red Card: Against, Yellow Card: Reservations, Green Card: Yes). The group voted unanimously to remove the Pedestrian Bridge option. Eric gave a brief description of why staff recommended the removal of the Green, Orange and Revised Green options. They do not improve the connectivity, are prohibitively cost due to property acquisition, have environmental justice issues in routing a street near low-income housing and the loss of potential community uses of the Church of Christ property. There was a a vote to remove the options from consideration. There were 6 Red Cards, 2 Yellow Cards and the rest Green. CAC members expressed that they should vote on removing one option at a time. Vote to remove the Green option included 4 Red Cards. CAC reasons for Red Cards included: o All the justification for removal of these options are applicable to the project as a whole o Many CAC members felt that it is too early to remove an option and that it should be analyzed further 6 Vote to remove the Revised Green option (adjacent to Nuevo Amanecer, not on the Nuevo Amanecer property) included 6 Yellow Cards and 1 Red card. CAC reasons for Red and Yellow Cards included: o Would like to see more data on crime and connectivity o Many CAC members expressed concern that more information is needed -future traffic numbers and fire/emergency access concerns Vote to remove the Orange option included 1 Yellow Card and 1 Red Card. CAC reasons for Red and Yellow Cards included: o More time is needed for a decision o Not comfortable eliminating an option this early in the process, it needs to be analyzed further Eric let the group know that due to time constraints, the project team will need to move forward soon. The CAC will need to make some difficult decisions in future meetings. He invited members to write letters that outline their concerns. The letters would be entered into the official project record. Public Comment A member of the public expressed concern about the effect of the project project on her parent’s property on Yew. They recently spent more than $40,000 on remodeling and don’t want the project to negatively impact their improvements. A member of the public expressed a concern for safety, speed and cut-through traffic. There was extra concern expressed about potential increased speeds on the one-way options. Eric responded and mentioned that there would be school zone signs and traffic calming measures instituted that would reduce speeds with any option. Also, Safe Routes to Schools designs would be incorporated into any option. There was a concern expressed about potential commuter cut-through traffic, not just local traffic that would negatively impact the neighborhood. A member of the public mentioned that he has lived in Woodburn for more than 40 years and does not see a need for the project at all. Ranking Key Design Factors Dot Exercise Each committee member was provided with 10 dots to place on a large printout of key project factors. Committee members were allowed to place more than one dot on any particular factor in order to show the relative importance of each factor to the CAC as a whole. The design team will tally the results and show at the next meeting how well/poorly the proposed alternatives address the factors based on the “scoring”. Results were: 26 – Traffic Congestion 18 – Vehicle Access 7 15 – Emergency Response Access 14 – Private Property Impacts 13 – Parking 12 – Pedestrian Safety 11 – Noise 10 – Crime 9 – Property Value 9 – Vehicle Speed 9 – Yew Street Connection 8 – Air Quality 4 – Street Lighting 4 – Temporary Construction Impacts 3 – Pedestrian Facilities 3 – Preservation of Existing Features Within Public Right-of-Way 1 – Stormwater Management 1 – Bicycle Access 0 – Transit Access 0 – Utility Impacts 0 – Landscaping 0 – Project Cost 1 2 8 Wrap Up Eryn thanked the group for attending, reminded them of the next meeting on February 18. 3 4 1 Woodburn 5th Street Improvements Project Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting #3 February 18, 2010 Committee Members present Cindy Wurdinger-Kelly Linda Wilmes-Smith Ed Krupicka Christine Vistica Tom Welch Jaime Estrada Dave Christoff Peppi Kosikowski Robert Carney Casey Robles Paul Iverson Laura E. Isiordia Shawn Baird Committee Members absent Tom Lonerger Mario Magana Caroline Sanchez-Ruiz Jerry Ambris Jessy Olsen Myrna Wagner Barbara Jean Burt Staff Dan Brown, City of Woodburn Public Works Director Eric Liljequist, City of Woodburn Kevin Thelin, Murray, Smith & Associates Gabe Crop, Murray, Smith & Associates Duane Barrick, City of Woodburn Marta Corrilia, City of Woodburn Eryn Deeming Kehe, JLA Public Involvement Sam Beresky, JLA Public Involvement Five members of the public attended this meeting. Welcome and Introductions Eryn Deeming Kehe welcomed the group, reviewed the binder materials, meeting logistics, agenda and reminded the group about the comment response log. Eryn mentioned that the comment log is meant to be a register of comments the project team has heard throughout the project. She said that comments can be emailed directly to Eric Liljequist at the City of Woodburn at eric.liljequist@ci.woodburn.or.us or by phone by calling 503-982-5241. The overall purpose of the meeting was to present traffic information, to understand and provide feedback on couplet options and to introduce the Key Design Factors worksheet. 2 The CAC approved the Meeting #2 Summary. CAC Member Robert Carney gave a short presentation to the group. He mentioned that he gave a short presentation to the Tukwila Neighborhood Association. He gave a brief overview of the location of the Tukwila Neighborhood in relation to the project area and reviewed the concerns expressed by the people who attended this recent meeting of the Association. He said there were many concerns with the potential of extra traffic through the Tukwila Neighborhood by people that will want to avoid congestion. He said that citizens were not necessarily opposed to the project as they see a benefit of a new stoplight at 5th but are concerned about the potential of increased traffic through their neighborhood as a way to avoid congestion on 214 or Boones Ferry. Yew Street Options (CAC and Public Questions appear in italics) Eric reviewed a memo sent to CAC members that outlined the City’s desire to eliminate Yew Street options 1, 3 and 4. He mentioned that all three of those options have more property impacts and higher project costs. What is the budget for the project? Dan Brown responded and said that the City had allocated money that will cover the project design and some property costs. The City has a responsibility to finish the project with the least amount of cost possible. Options 1, 3 and 4 were all more expensive than Option 2 and did not provide any significant benefit over Option 2. Currently the projected cost is estimated at about twice the original estimates. The Woodburn City Council will have to budget for this project. He said that 45% ($1.3 Million available) of the project will be paid for with System Development Charges. There were CAC concerns with where the 55% costs of the project will come from that will not come from SDCs. Dan responded that he will need to look further into the availability of funding to better address this concern. Eryn asked the group to vote on the elimination of the Yew Street Options 1, 3 and 4. She let the committee know that they are not voting for a single option for final approval but by eliminating Yew Street Options 1, 3 and 4, the CAC are voting on setting a direction. There was one Yellow Card and the rest Green, voting to eliminate Yew Street Options 1, 3 and 4. CAC member Casey Robles had concerns with property acquisition and will not support any option that requires a forced sale of property. CAC member Cindy Wurdinger-Kelly had the only yellow card. She felt that the City did not fully analyze the options. She felt that the Yew Street Option in general is okay but felt that the 3 City should have fully analyzed all of the options, in particular those that could connect to 1st in the future. Traffic Information (CAC and Public Questions appear in italics) Kevin gave a brief overview of the Traffic Flow Overview handout that was provided to the CAC. He also gave a brief overview of what a traffic model is. He mentioned that the project team did not receive the most recent numbers from the ODOT model until the evening before the meeting so they have not had time to fully analyze the data but felt that the traffic numbers presented to the CAC in the Traffic Flow Overview Figure based on engineering judgment where roughly 75% to 80% accurate. There was some general discussion between the CAC and the project team about the traffic numbers presented and what they meant. Kevin mentioned that the numbers represented the Average Daily Traffic over a 24-hour period but that Woodburn uses peak hour traffic numbers to design for capital improvements. He also said that event traffic is also a critical element to look at but that infrastructure is not usually built to accommodate for event traffic, as it would be too expensive and not practical. It is a reasonable assumption that the majority of new traffic through the project area will be peak hour traffic. Are the numbers shown in the near or distant future? The numbers shown are within months after the completed project but are assuming 2009 behaviors. ODOT has completed a model for 2035. That model shows that as infrastructure improves over time, there will be less pressure for people to seek alternate routes, or routes that cut through neighborhoods to avoid congestion on state highway bottlenecks. It was stated that the purpose of the project was to relieve traffic congestion on Settlemier but the numbers show that there is little to no improvement. Is the project being completed for only 500 cars a day? Roughly 25% of the traffic using the opened 5th Street will be from within the immediate area, about 35% will be from north of 214 and the majority of the potential 500 fewer cars along Settlemier will be during peak hour which would have significant impact. The estimated guess is good but it also seems that if the 5th Street project is not completed that the numbers along Settlemier would be greatly increased. The CAC requested a list of streets in Woodburn that have similar traffic numbers to the potential numbers for an opened 5th Street so they could get a first hand idea of what their street might be like. Houses are closer to the streets on 5th than on other busy streets like Harrison. The St. Luke’s families use 5th Street 400 times a day, a couplet will make the pick up and drop off flow better. 4 Key Design Factors (CAC and Public Questions appear in italics) Kevin reviewed the results (hand out) of the key design factors voting from the last CAC meeting. He mentioned that some design factors could be seen as either good or bad depending on the perspective of the person voting. It was requested that when the information is presented to the City Council that it would be presented the same way it was originally presented to the CAC (with no differentiation between the traffic congestion categories). It was also mentioned that, depending on your perspective, the first four categories could be congestion related (local traffic congestion, system-wide traffic congestion, vehicle access and emergency response access). Eryn said that the exercise is a tool to help the CAC better understand the different options and to organize the CAC’s thoughts. She explained the handout and asked for feedback from the CAC on the design factors. The worksheet is boiled down to simple options and leaves out more specific specific elements like the direction of a couplet or where stop signs should be placed. She said that the CAC members could fill out the form at the meeting or take it with them and return it at a later date. Dan Brown mentioned that part of the purpose was to help educate the CAC about the complexities of the project and part of the purpose was for the project team to learn what the important factors are for the CAC. It was requested that the CAC be allowed to re-vote on their priorities as the process moves forward as members’ perspectives change. Kevin reviewed the major differences between a couplet and a 2-way 5th Street option and explained the differences of the options in relation to traffic congestion, vehicle access and parking. The clockwise couplet introduces a left turn movement at Yew and 5th, which would automatically create traffic issues. Are there currently any one-way streets in Woodburn? There is a modified one-way street for truck traffic. Dan Brown mentioned that there is a strong aversion to one-way streets in Woodburn in general. Is emergency vehicle access reduced in the one-way option? CAC member Paul Iverson responded and said that he does not like one-way streets as they can potentially increase response times. Dan Brown mentioned that response times are important but should not be used solely to make a final decision. Response times of the different options compared to current response times should be analyzed. He also mentioned that, given enough room, most emergency responders could access the streets going against the flow of traffic if the emergency required it. It should be noted that opening 5th Street is a major factor in improving response times. 5 Dan Brown let the group know that the City knows a couplet option will be more expensive and introducing one-way streets is more controversial in Woodburn but mentioned that there are also benefits to a couplet. In regards to private property impacts and perceived private property impacts, the couplet will impact properties for the Yew Street connection while the two-way 5th Street option will stay within the current ROW. That option could impact landscaping associated with the homes along 5th Street even though no property will be taken. The project should improve property values. If the Front Street project is looked at as an example, parking, a new street, new curbs and new sidewalks improve property values and with improved appearance, people generally take better care of their property, further improving property values. One CAC member felt that private property impacts also include the livability inside homes and the impacts of living on a busier street. It was mentioned that nobody wants cars driving by their home all day. Dan Brown said that the city will consider the impact to property owners, even when the property in front of their house is actually publically owned. Public Comment A member of the public asked if delay is accounted for in the traffic model. Kevin said that delay is not addressed in the raw traffic volume numbers from the model, but is evaluated during the traffic analysis process for intersections of concern. The traffic numbers along the local streets in the project area normally low enough that they do not cause much concern. Dan Brown mentioned that volume to capacity is how the traffic flow is more often communicated. Wrap Up Eryn thanked the group for attending and for their feedback. The CAC voted to attend a 5th meeting if needed, although the project design team will attempt to finish the process at the 4th meeting. Dan Brown said that he hoped to take the recommendations to City Council by April 1. A CAC member expressed the need for the project team to ask for their opinions on the options, as the meeting format does not leave much room for opinions to be expressed. The project team reminded the group that they can email or send concerns and opinions at any time to Eric. 1 Woodburn 5th Street Improvements Project Citizen Advisory Committee Meeting #4 March 11, 2010 Committee Members present Cindy Wurdinger-Kelly Linda Wilmes-Smith Ed Krupicka Christine Vistica Tom Welch Jaime Estrada Dave Christoff Jessy Olsen Tom Lonerger Mario Magana Caroline Sanchez-Ruiz Jerry Ambris Peppi Kosikowski Robert Carney Casey Robles Paul Iverson Shawn Baird Committee Members absent Myrna Wagner Barbara Jean Burt Don Judson Laura E. Isiordia Staff Dan Brown, City of Woodburn Public Works Director Eric Liljequist, City of Woodburn Kevin Thelin, Murray, Smith & Associates Gabe Crop, Murray, Smith & Associates Duane Barrick, City of Woodburn Eryn Deeming Kehe, JLA Public Involvement Sam Beresky, JLA Public Involvement Five members of the public attended this meeting. Welcome and Introductions Eryn Deeming Kehe welcomed the group, reviewed the binder materials, meeting logistics and agenda and reminded the group about the comment response log. The overall purpose of the meeting was to discuss the results of the committee survey, present and discuss new information from the design factors evaluation, provide any necessary technical data to the committee and to collect individual and committee recommendation of alternatives for council consideration. Eryn mentioned that there would be opportunities for every CAC member to express their views both verbally and with a written questionnaire. The CAC approved the Meeting #3 Summary. 2 Dan Brown told the group that he was not expecting consensus but he wanted to let the CAC know that the project team will accurately present to City Council the varied views and perspectives of the CAC. He also mentioned that there would be other opportunities to express viewpoints during the public hearing process. CAC Survey Results (CAC and Public Questions/Comments appear in italics) Eryn gave a brief overview of the Survey Summary (handout) and then invited committee discussion. What will be the impact to the intersection at 5th and Harrison of the increased traffic with a 2-way option? Harrison Street feeds into the rest of the traffic system, and it is estimated that this option will result in a better distribution of the traffic. The couplet option will distribute the traffic better but the volume to capacity ratio will still be within reasonable standards under both scenarios and the intersection will not be a failing intersection. Two CAC members “begged to differ” and remain concerned that the intersection would experience congestion if 5th were opened. It seems that the one-way option would dump more traffic onto Harrison. Dan Brown responded that the couplet option would distribute the traffic. Even at peak hour, the level of congestion would be within standards. Have there been any conversations with St. Luke’s about the pick-up and drop off routes? There have not been as the project has not been decided upon yet. The details of what would need to be done differently could be addressed if the project moves forward. There was a general CAC discussion speculating about the safety and efficiency of the pick up and drop off routes at St. Luke in regards to different alternatives. On the newly designed Front Street improvements, a bus can not make an easy turn onto Harrison so there are doubts that a newly designed corner at 5th and Harrison would have an adequate turning radius for busses but also account for the safety of the pedestrians using the intersection. Dan Brown mentioned that the intersection on Front was designed that way intentionally. There is a constrained right-of-way and pedestrian safety was purposefully designed for rather than turning capabilities of buses. The City knew that buses would have a difficult time at that intersection. The 5th Street project will be designed with bus movements in mind but will also account for the safety of pedestrians. A CAC member exchanged emails with David Warren from ODOT Region 2. Mr. Warren told them that 5th Street at 214 may meet warrants to have a traffic signal without 5th Street open. Dan Brown responded and said that there was concern in ODOT that even with 5th Street open that the intersection would not meet warrants for a traffic signal. He mentioned that putting a 3 stop light at an intersection on a state highway was a complicated process and that David Warren at ODOT was using an older Transportation System Plan to make this assumption. A second CAC member mentioned that he had phone conversations with ODOT employees and that those employees informed him that warrants could be met without an opened 5th Street. Dan Brown mentioned that ODOT has not gone through a complete analysis of the intersection. Gabe Crop said that in preliminary analysis completed by MSA, none of the warrants would be met for the existing conditions. ODOT goes through a tremendous amount of work to give informed answers. Dan Brown said that ODOT was not using current data and that their answer was not accurate. Kevin Thelin added that a demonstrated need must be shown as well. Part of the demonstrated need would be North/South, system-wide traffic continuity. A member expressed that they feel misled by some of the seemingly contradicting information and feel that the whole process was driven by the need to install a light at 5th Street while 5th might not even need to be opened to get a light at 5th Street. Dan Brown reiterated that the City’s intent was to open 5th Street and was always viewed as essential in order for ODOT to approve a signal at the intersection of 5th and 214. Eryn reminded the group that only one of the four project purposes was to install a traffic signal at 5th. She directed the CAC to review the project purpose sheet in the CAC folder. Is it true that even if 5th Street is open and warrants are met to justify a signal, it could still be years before a signal is installed? Dan Brown responded that the City would not open 5th Street without a signal as part of the same project. It was stated that congestion relief on Settlemier was one of the driving forces to justify the project but the statistics don’t back that up. Eryn asked that the CAC wait to see the most current traffic information to be presented that will show modeled effects on Settlemier to be less with the connection. Dan Brown mentioned that there are some disconnected assumptions in the traffic model but that traffic on alternative routes would most likely decrease over time as ODOT makes improvements to the overall system and there is less need to find alternative routes. He said that ODOT unnecessarily complicated and confused the process by answering questions without a full analysis and without having all the current information. He asked the CAC to trust the project team. He said that the team is being honest and transparent and is sharing all information with the CAC. Front Street needed improvements but there were many mistakes in the design. If 5th Street is open, the neighborhood will not be the same. Also, it doesn’t seem that anybody knows for sure about the traffic signal issue with the conflicting information being given the CAC. The 150 pedestrians per day as documented by the pedestrian count on Hwy 214 seems too high. 4 The pedestrian survey was done in 2007 and 2009 on individual days over 16 hours. The peak counts were 65 people in one hour crossing Hwy 214 near 5th Street, which is not enough to meet the pedestrian warrants for a traffic signal at 5th. The pedestrian numbers seem valid as there are always people trying to cross there, often children, confirmed someone who has an office. All of the time and energy that the City has put into the CAC should have been spent on getting a traffic signal at 5th without 5th Street opening. Please consider the effects of an open 5th Street on the homeowners, their families and home values on 5th Street. The City’s end in mind all along was a 2-way street on 5th with a traffic signal at 214 and that is why they didn’t fully analyze any other option. The project will destroy a section of the community. A signal at 5th Street is okay, just don’t open 5th Street. Traffic Volumes Information Updated (CAC and Public Questions/Comments appear in italics) Gabe Crop gave a brief presentation that included the updated traffic flow figures (handout) and a brief review of the traffic model. He mentioned that the traffic system in Woodburn is currently not functioning properly so that in areas of congestion, or to avoid areas of congestion, drivers are seeking alternate routes. If 5th Street is opened, in the short term, the model shows that it will act like a release valve providing a route for drivers to avoid congestion. In the long term, there will be overall system improvements, decreasing the need for drivers to seek alternate routes, which will lead to less traffic in the long term on 5th. He also listed local streets with similar traffic volumes to an open 5th Street: Park Street @Alexandra Astor Way Brown Street @Warren Way Currently Harrison has 2900 cars a day, which is more than what 5th would carry. Has ODOT been involved in this process so far? Dan Brown responded and said that the project team has been conversing with ODOT for while. Their first in person meeting to discuss the the traffic model and signal warrants occurred on March 10. He mentioned that the traffic model is ODOT’s, so they have been involved in generating the numbers presented, which has been almost a year long process. The next part of the process will involve post-processing the traffic data, which will adjust the modeled traffic numbers using the current traffic counts. Why were there recent pedestrian improvements along 214 if it was known that the highway would be expanded, ruining those improvements? Dan Brown responded and said that the pedestrian improvements (sidewalks) were much needed along the highway. They were constructed with the knowledge that the highway would 5 eventually be expanded but the timeline for the expansion was not known and there was a safety concern so the improvements were pushed forward by the City. There will be a doubling of the number of cars going by my house every day. That is a huge impact and it will be horrible. Speed bumps are a must have along 5th if it is opened. Also, where will the kids play? A playground is needed if 5th Street is opened. The barricade along 5th should remain in place until a traffic signal is placed at 214. What will be the impacts on mail and garbage service if 5th Street opens? If it is a one-way couplet? There are fears that there will not be money for street improvements on connecting streets that will have increased traffic if 5th Street is opened. It is often desirable to live on a street with little or no traffic and is often why people choose to live where they do so opening 5th Street could be devastating to some of the homeowners. CAC and Project Team Scoring Results (CAC and Public Questions/Comments appear in italics) Gabe gave a brief review of the key design factors scoring exercise (handout). Eryn mentioned that it was not scientific, but should be viewed as a way to reflect how the CAC felt about the different alternatives in relation to the importance of the design factors weighted by the CAC at meeting #2. Using the CAC weighting factors and CAC scoring, it was mentioned that Alternative 1 scored the highest in the exercise. It does not mean that the CAC selected Alternative 1; it indicates a reflection of the values identified by the CAC. Alternative 1 was also the highest scoring alternative using the CAC weighting and scoring. Gabe reviewed the key design factors scoring exercise as completed by the project team. Will there be a sidewalk in Alternative 2? Yes, both alternatives will have a sidewalks added on 5th Street. Although Alternative 2 utilizes 3rd street to complete the couplet, no sidewalk improvements are planned to 3rd since sidewalks already exist there. Increased traffic will bring more noise. Gabe mentioned that most increased traffic would be during peak times so it wouldn’t necessarily effect the quiet times people expect at home or school. Dan Brown said that there are thresholds for noise associated with a project and mitigation would likely not be strictly required since it is very unlikely that any noise would go beyond those thresholds. He mentioned that the project team had not gotten to that level of analysis yet but most likely the noise thresholds would not be met. 6 The school has no air conditioning and windows need to be opened during many months of the year. Any increase in traffic, noise or pollution will greatly disrupt the educational environment. A former instructor at St. Luke’s mentioned that it isn’t noise or pollution that are the ultimate concerns, the City Council should understand that it is the distraction caused by more cars and everything associated with more cars that is of real concern. Students continually being distracted are the real concerns. The school has no money to pay for any changes to the school that would help mitigate the extra distractions in the classroom environment. Some mitigation would be bushes or other plants that would block the view of traffic but the school is also on a corner and there are height restrictions on what can be placed on a corner so some mitigation efforts would not be allowed or effective. Gabe mentioned that the project team scored the two build alternatives lower than no-built alternative with respect to noise to reflect the noise concerns. It was mentioned that there would be traffic calming measures put in place and when combined with enforcement, would ensure that reasonable and legal speeds would be maintained on 5th Street if it were opened. Window improvements to the east side of the school were more than $70,000 and it was estimated that an air conditioning system would be more than $100,000. If 5th Street is opened, an air conditioning system would have to be installed because the classrooms could no longer open the windows to provide for cooling and air movement. St. Luke’s is a small school and cannot afford to install an air conditioning system. Is there money available to help mitigate some of the impacts to private property? Dan Brown said that is a public policy decision that would be made by the City Council. Completely independent of this project, the City does have a program that provides low interest rehab loans for home improvements but it is for residential properties only. Why would there be no new sidewalks along 3rd if Alternative 2 was selected? There would be no frontage improvements along 3rd but there is currently a sidewalk on one side of 3rd. Final Individual and Committee Recommendations (CAC and Public Questions/Comments appear in italics) Dan let the CAC know that the team would be presenting a staff recommendation to the City Council. He will present all aspects considered by the project team including a full summary of the CAC process and perspectives, a design acceptance package and if the team feels it is a viable option. He mentioned that all alternatives are still options, including the No Build option, 7 but that staff will be recommending Alternative 1. He said that beyond the presentation to council, there would be a public hearing process as well and he encouraged the CAC’s participation during that process. Eryn encouraged each CAC member to fill out the supplied questionnaire with the individual committee member recommendations, reasons and feedback on the project process. If the staff is already going to recommend Alternative 1, there is no point in the CAC giving their opinions. Dan said that staff will still communicate to council how the CAC voted and the reasons for their vote. He ensured the CAC that the City Council will still learn of the CAC views on the project regardless of what staff or the CAC recommends. Eryn lead a “round-robin” style report back where every committee member was invited to share his or her individual position on the project. Their feedback is reported in turn: First Choice: No Build Second Choice: No Build There is no other option, the school is great and I don’t want to see it negatively impacted. Proper signage on existing streets can improve traffic flow and a traffic signal at 5th and 214 can exist without opening 5th. First Choice: No build Second Choice: Alternative 1 This project is not a good fit for 5th Street from a safety standpoint, from the well being of the children of the neighborhood and the school. Safety is the number one concern with any project that would open 5th Street. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 2 The safety of the children in the neighborhood and at the school is very important. Agrees with other reasons already given. First Choice: Alternative 1 Second Choice: Alternative 2 People drive by the barricade on 5th Street already, creating safety issues. Improvements to 5th will improve safety, providing access and improving emergency access. First Choice: Alternative 2 Second Choice: No Build Agree with the improved safety and access but the traffic impacts will be dispersed with a couplet. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 2 (clockwise) 8 For reasons already stated and for the disruptions to the educational process. Harrison is already a street in bad shape and adding more traffic to it is not a good idea. This is not a valid project. First Choice: Alternative 2 Second Choice: Alternative 1 Safety is very important and the project will improve safety and the long term planning and development of Woodburn. First Choice: Alternative 1 Second Choice: No Build Long-term traffic flows and improvements are important. No Build as second choice because of concerns for residents along 5th Street. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 2 (clockwise) Agree with reasons previously stated. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 1 Agree with reasons previously stated. A traffic signal at 5th and 214 can happen without 5th being opened. First Choice: Alternative 2 (counter-clockwise) Second Choice: No Build Share the concerns of others but long-term solutions to the traffic system are important. Counter-clockwise couplet will reduce reduce the impacts to 5th street and will provide the best traffic flow. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 2 The couplet will allow for more parking. Other reasons have been stated. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 2 The couplet will allow for a larger barrier between the school and increased traffic. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 1 with a Yew Street extension Reasons already stated. Extension to Yew on Alternative 1 will help keep some traffic off of 5th and improve the connectivity of the city. First Choice: No Build Second Choice: Alternative 1 9 Believe the project will benefit the city and the neighborhood but the people most impacted by the project, the residents along 5th, will feel the least amount of value in the project. Would have originally preferred Alternative 1 but felt the impacts to residents were too great. First Choice: Alternative 1 Second Choice: Alternative 2 Provide the greatest improvement to connectivity and either alternative would improve the emergency response times. First Choice: Alternative 1 Second Choice: Alternative 2 Same reasons as above. Eryn shared the final results with the group. Of the seventeen members who participated, ten members selected No Build as their first option and seven members selected one of the build alternatives. The results summarized below reflect the results from the written form. Alternative 1 Two-Way Traffic Alternative 2 One-way Traffic Alternative 3 No Build First Choice 4 3 10 Second Choice 5 8 4 The barricade removal and traffic signal should be mutually exclusive; the street should not not open without a traffic signal. Eryn proposed a vote in response to a CAC comment: If 5th Street is opened, there must be a traffic signal. There were fifteen green cards and two red cards. The red cards were from the emergency responder members of the CAC who felt that opening 5th Street was the most important need to would improve their response times. They would rather have it opened without a light than to wait for the light before opening the street. Next Steps Dan said that there would be a staff report, including the documentation of the CAC. There would be a minimum of two weeks available for the public to review the report before the report goes to council. The team would notify the CAC of the report by email and it would also be on the website. The date of the public hearing is not set yet but staff is aiming for April 12th. Dan thanked the group for their participation, input and points of view. He said it was a difficult decision and would be a difficult decision for the City Council. The project team did its best to inform the CAC and to have a transparent process. He was confident that the CAC was as knowledgeable about the project as anybody on the project team and thanked them for their civic responsibility. He said the members were examples for the rest of Woodburn. He thanked the group for their contributions to make the project better and help shape their community. 10 Many members of the CAC thanked Dan, the City, MSA and JLA for the valuable information throughout the meetings and they appreciated the process. City Councilor Eric Morris of Ward 6 was present in the audience. He encouraged the CAC members to contact their City Councilors and share their views prior to the public hearing. The Councilor’s contact information is on the City website. He also thanked the CAC for their insights and participation.

List the primary strengths and weaknesses of each alternative from your perspective? Alternative 1: Two-way Traffic Strengths Weaknesses Emergency Response IIIIIIII Vehicle Access (2-ways in and out) IIII Traffic Congestion (System)IIII reduced on 5th reduced peak traffic congestion at Settlemier & 214 “good traffic flow” Property Values Private Property Impacts Vehicle Speed (may slow traffic) No strengths from my perspective The street will be repaved (it needs it) Traffic Congestion (local) will increase IIIII Private Property Impacts IIIII Has largest footprint; need to minimize Vehicle Speed III Noise II Air Quality II Parking IIII Property Values II Pedestrian Safety Crime 2. What stands out as the major differences between Alternative 1 and the other alternatives? Alternative 1 meets the primary goal of community access and egress. The others, particularly the one-way options complicate the system unnecessarily and would be better saved as alternatives to later plans when and if one-way street grids are established for the core area. It’s the most natural and change resistant. Alt 1 allows for better and quicker access to all properties. It is the preferred design. Alternative #1 -will insure that ALL increased traffic loading impacts the majority of 5th street and its flanking properties. Provides traffic flow in all directions especially for local residents and emergency responders. This would give the most people the most accessibility, if that is what we want, which I don't want. I'm not considering traffic congestion from a system standpoint because that isn't how the group interpreted "traffic congestion". Traffic Congestion (system) was the City staff's view. Project will cause many negative impacts for residents of 5th. The negative impacts include: additional traffic, speeders, noise, less play space for children and possible additional crime. The additional traffic. It uses the most of the right away. Maximum flexibility for traffic congestion relief.

What stands out as the major differences between Alternative 2 and the other alternatives? The one-way nature, in a city without other one-way streets may prove confusing. It introduces a new traffic control issue between Yew St and 5th St. which could be particularly a problem with the clockwise flow pattern. Least natural and emergency response is an issue. I do not like anything about the YEW Street connection. I would eliminate it entirely. More traffic congestion because vehicles have to circle the block to get to or out of residences. Alternative #2 -reduces the increased vehicle loading impact on the majority of 5th street and the subsequent effect of that increased traffic upon the private properties which abut 5th street. This alternative also serves to provide the maximum amount of on-street parking for the project. If this project had to move forward, this option has the least impact on the general 5th street area. A one way street does not seem as desirable to live on. It would create more traffic on Church, High, Fir. There does not seem to be any money to improve those streets.

What stands out as the major differences between the No Build option and the other alternatives? It appears obvious to me that the "no-build" option is really not an option. Pushing 5th through is a must for the traffic we already have and the more we will have. Yew St. I am ambivalent about. The neighborhood has an opportunity to improve its values with no LID cost and NO BUILD takes that away. This is not a favorable option. The emergency response agencies will support better access option to improve the service the community. The "No Build" option doesn't solve the problem! Traffic congestion ,pedestrian safety. The local 5th Street community; residences, school/church members don't want a "newimproved" street that looks nice. We want a quiet street with limited traffic to provide an ideal environment for for our children to learn and not be distracted. 5th remains the same. The stop light could not be put in on the highway. 5. If you were Public Works Director for the City of Woodburn, what else would you direct the consultants to consider in their preliminary designs? More consideration needs to be given to the impact on the citizens living in the immediate area and see what they want. Pushing 5th St through is a must. With that, the design that would facilitate the safest and most direct access and egress to the area is my choice. Minimizing displacement of residents (Hunts & Apartment renters relocated) in an economically fair way (if Yew St. is adopted). Crosswalks and traffic control especially about the school. Traffic flow for residence in the subject neighborhood will benefit the most. A light at the 214 intersection is a needed safety feature. The amount of traffic generated will most likely happen during peak hours, and would result in slower traffic at those times. Provides another circulation pattern for LOCAL residents. Although neighbors benefit the most it is a City wide traffic system benefit as well. I believe the connection is important to increase the connectivity of Woodburn. This connection would help reduce the peak congestion at Settlemier and 214. Considering that the traffic light at the Meridian Drive/5th Street and SR-214 intersection will ultimately be built as part of the Oregon Traffic Improvement plan for the Woodburn/I-5 Freeway Interchange --choosing the "No Build" option presents an unreasonably limiting and counter-intuitive solution to helping solve such system-wide traffic congestion challenges that may develop as a result of the project's successful completion. I suggest that the 5th Street Project move-ahead as Alternative #2 while suitable safeguards are recognized to be necessary, [A tick mark after a comment represents the total number of times that same comment was made] by our City Council and that such safeguards are designed and implemented by our Woodburn Public Works Department to insure that the citizens living in the neighborhoods above and below the new subject intersection/traffic light are not subjected to auto "shortcut seekers" wishing to use our local neighborhood's (25 MPH) residential roads to bypass congestion points east and west of those same neighborhoods. I would be willing and eager to serve with any study group or on any committee that the Woodburn Public Works Department elects to establish for that purpose. I believe that this project is not complete until this step is attempted and implemented. I also believe that our Public Works Director should be equally concerned about this situation. None I would really listen to the Committee and what they are trying to tell you. The Public Works staff are "road builders", and that is what they are trying to do is build an attractive road. Several people on the committee are educators and parents and they don't care about attractive roads -they care about the physical environment that their children are subjected to while they are trying to learn. As Director I would need to put the politics aside and capture and carry the Committee's message to the Council without my bias interfering with that process. Opening up 5th Street and having all of the traffic "dead-end" onto Harrison just does not make sense and has never made sense to me. The stop light seems important in the transportation plan, but I would find a way for the intersection on 214 to meet warrants for the light without opening 5th. I would replace the play space that I am considering taking away from the children. I would consider the impacts of opening 5th as if it were me being impacted. It is important to offer assistance to home owners who do not wish to remain living on the street if it is opened also home owners who will need help with things such as new windows when traffic causes too much noise. Improved traffic flow city wide, not missing future opportunities with ODOT projects, improved emergency vehicle access. 6. Is there something you wish you knew more about that would help you determine your preferred alternative? What is the driving force for the project? I do not view it as easing congestion on Hwy 214. Not really, all models have their positives and negatives. Choosing the least negatives will be the task. I believe that we have been given adequate information to make an informed decision. No, I believe I understand the problem before us. No. No, I am real clear on my preferred alternative. Yes, will Yew street for sure be a part of the project? I don't think the city should even consider opening 5th if Yew will not also be opened up. No. 7. What topics would you like to talk about with your fellow CAC members before the group makes its final recommendation to Public Works staff and the City Council? Open dialogue with facts. [A tick mark after a comment represents the total number of times that same comment was made] The Public works Director needs to make it clear to the City Council what the citizens want and not white wash it into the program he wants. Eliminate the no-build option. (I think this would be a positive step in public support for the project if we can come to consensus that not building is really counterproductive to the efficient development of the traffic system in Woodburn. The "No Build" option, in detail --the body-language and verbal dynamics of our Committee membership indicate that some of us have not been able to move beyond a personal commitment to the "No Build" option. I suggest that such a conversation is an essential step before final decision making is complete. Those opposed must be given the opportunity to voice their opposition in detail, before our assembled team, in-order to insure that this Committee and this "Process" remains legitimate and will tolerate the scrutiny of the citizens of Woodburn. Concerns regarding local resident directly affected. I want a non-judgmental environment so each committee member will honestly and openly share where they are at with the 3 different alternatives. I want them to know that as a home owner I support the no build option because I need to think about what is best for my family. We would not have purchased our home on 5th if we had known this project would be completed. I think the field trip we took really made me aware of the impacts on the residents of 5th. I realize we (the residents of 5th) are only a tiny portion of the population of Woodburn but believe that we have the right to keep the quality of home life that we currently have. Already covered my areas of concern 8. Other Comments Curbs, sidewalk and repaving of the street would improve property values and increase pride of ownership. It would organize parking during special events. I have concerns that some neighbors want this but are afraid to speak up for fear of being targeted as negative to to the interest of those who have been outspoken against the project. I do not like anything about the YEW Street connection. I would eliminate it entirely. 5th Street Improvements Project Key Design Factor Scoring Analysis March 4th, 2010 As Determined Using CAC Member Scoring And Weight Factors CAC Avg.

The need for the 5th Street Improvements project was identified and described in the City of Woodburn's Transportation System Plan (TSP) with the goal of relieving traffic congestion on nearby streets. Please see project purpose sheet also provided in the binder material. 2 Speed Speeds would be worse on a couplet The speed limit on 3rd and 5th Street is proposed to be maintained at 20 (school zone) to 25 mph. The traffic analysis being completed will make general comparative summaries regarding expected travel speeds along 5th and 3rd for a couplet alternative vs. a two-way alternative on 5th. Traffic calming devices to help keep traffic speeds down. Example devices could include speed humps, curb extensions, channelized striping, additional signing, increased law enforcement, speed radar signs, etc. 3 Speed There should be limits to control speed See response to comment #2 above. 4 Parking St. Luke School needs a lot of street parking The project design team will look at a variety of parking configurations on 5th Street adjacent to St. Luke School. On-street parking capacity could increase with this project. 5 Parking More diagonal parking is needed on Yew Street Yew Street is currently a narrow road between 2nd and 3rd Street. This project will not change the current configuration for this stretch of Yew Street as it is outside the project limits. If Yew Street is extended between 3rd Street and 5th Street, the project design team will explore the opportunity for parking on the extended portion. Parking availability will be largely dependent upon how much, if any, right-of-way can be acquired for the extension. 6 Parking What will parking on the new street look like? Would it be similar to Front Street? Several options are available for parking on 5th Street as presented in the conceptual cross-sections. Parallel parking on one or both sides of the street, similar to Front Street, is possible. Angle parking is another option that would be well-suited when paired with a one-way couplet option. 7 Property Impacts Decrease in property value Although we cannot predict future property values, new sidewalks and street trees as are planned with this project have been found to increase property values in other communities. 8 Property Impacts Increased property taxes Although we cannot predict property tax increases, funds are already available for this specific project. Taxes would not be increased to pay for the project. 9 Property Impacts Decreased ability to sell/resell property on 5th Street See response to comment #7 above. 10 Property Impacts Ongoing maintenance of public landscaping Landscaping for this project is anticipated to be primarily within planting strips between the curb and sidewalks or where most practical to preserve existing trees or based on other design variables. The project design team will seek to achieve a low maintenance design. Similar to other residential neighborhoods in the City, maintenance will generally be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. 11 Property Impacts Loss of trees The project design team will seek to preserve as many existing mature trees as practical as part of the design. Many existing trees appear to be outside the future roadway limits and may be able to be incorporated into the landscaping design. 12 Property Impacts Impact of properties by wider street, sidewalk, landscaping All proposed roadway improvements on 5th Street, including sidewalk and landscaping, would be within existing publicly owned right-of-way. Some properties with frontages on 5th Street have front yards that extend into the 5th Street right-of-way. The portion of these yards that are within the right-of-way may be converted into landscaping and sidewalk areas as part of this project. 13 Yew Street Extension Displacement of people (property acquisition) as a result of the Yew Street extension If the decision were made to extend Yew Street, additional right-of-way will be needed between 3rd Street and 5th Street. The amount of rightof-way needed to complete the extension is yet to be determined. There are three properties potentially affected by the proposed Yew Street extension including the Woodburn Community of Christ church and 6-plex apartments on 5th Street and a single family residence on 3rd Street.

REGARDING 14 Yew Street Extension Loss of parking at Community Christ Church If the decision were made to extend Yew Street, right-of-way from the Community Christ Church will be needed. The right-of-way needed would include a portion of the existing church parking. If right-of-way is decided to be acquired, the project design team will work with the CAC and church to develop a design that addresses parking needs for the church. Possible solutions include additional on-street parking or an extension of the existing parking lot. 15 Buses School buses and public transit causing traffic back-up at Harrison and 5th in the morning One of the project goals is to improve the overall bus routing with this project. Current routes could remain unchanged or be modified to more efficiently use the proposed connection with Hwy 214. The project design team will work with administrators of the school and public transit system to design a project that meets the needs of each bus system. Potential congestion at 5th and Harrison will be reviewed as part of the traffic analysis and will be considered when evaluating adjustments to the bus routes. 16 Buses Loss of the existing bus stop at Nuevo Amanecer See response to comment #15 above. 17 Construction Air quality impacts during construction As with any construction project, there would be some short term inconveniences during construction. Construction equipment and asphalt fumes, for example, are part of the typical construction process. Dust can be minimized with watering trucks. 18 Construction Distraction of students at school during construction The construction timeframe has not been determined, although typically the best time to complete roadway work as part of this project is during the summer when students are on summer vacation. 19 Crime Increased crime due to better access to houses New street lighting system system and other enhanced facilities are expected to have a positive overall impact on crime although the overall project affect on crime levels is difficult to predict. 20 Traffic Truck traffic on 5th Street The traffic analysis currently being completed will forecast future traffic volumes on 5th Street as well as along key adjacent roadways within the neighborhood with and without the 5th Street improvement project. The analysis will include using and adjusting an established regional transportation model that is also being used as part of the potential highway 214 widening project. This analysis will also include projecting truck traffic volumes along 5th Street and other adjacent roadways. Preliminary results of the analysis are expected to be available at the second CAC meeting. 21 Traffic Increased traffic on 5th Street See response to comment #20 above. 22 Traffic Impact on Meridian Drive See response to comment #20 above. 23 Traffic Impact on Harrison Street, which is already congested See response response to comment #20 above. 24 Traffic Project will divide the community It appears the concern is that neighbors across the street from each other will have reduced access. Although this project would increase traffic volume on 5th Street, neighbors would still be able to safely cross the street. Building sidewalks and planting trees might actually make walking through the neighborhood more comfortable. The project would create better connections within the greater Woodburn community by providing another safe way to cross Hwy 214. Providing this type of connection is a primary goal of the project. 25 Traffic Safety for the neighborhood rabbit Construction activities will likely pose some unavoidable short term risks to the rabbit's safety and increased traffic volume after construction will increase the long-term risks. 26 Traffic Safety for children crossing the street Signalized crossings at Hwy 214 would allow protected passage across the highway. Along 5th Street, project amenities such as sidewalks, ADA ramps, crosswalks, curb extensions, street lighting, and other potential pedestrian facilities would enhance pedestrian safety. Final locations and orientations of these items will be determined during final design. The geometric and streetscape designs can be tailored to foster appropriate speeds and lessen the impacts from the increase in traffic volume. The traffic analysis currently being completed will include an assessment of traffic safety based on a review of the City's TSP and other available planning documents. It will also include an evaluation of historical crash data along Highway 214 at the study intersections. 27 Traffic Safety around St. Luke's School (particularly at pick-up and drop-off times) See response to comment #26 above.

REGARDING 28 Traffic Safety for kids in the neighborhood -kids at Nuevo Amanecer currently play near 5th Street See response to comment #26 above. 29 Traffic Local children will not be able to play together There are several locations for children to play on either end of 5th Street including St. Luke's playground and fields as well as the Nuevo Amancecer community area. 30 Traffic Decreased ability to pull out of the driveway at Nuevo Amanecer The traffic analysis currently being completed will evaluate driveway operations at the Nuevo Amencer as part of the overall traffic operations analysis of Highway 214/5th Street. 31 Traffic There will always be traffic and this project only moves it from one place to another It is true that the goal of this project is to disperse traffic such that congestion is relieved at other critical locations. The goal of the project is not to reduce traffic volumes, but to better manage the flow patterns by providing the proposed 5th Street connection. 32 Traffic Increased wear and tear on adjacent streets (particularly Fir Street) The proposed improvements should actually reduce the total wear and tear (vehicle miles traveled) on adjacent streets by providing a shorter optional path for vehicles to take to access Hwy 214 as compared to the route vehicles currently take. For instance, a resident on 5th Street can drive directly to Hwy 214 rather than a more circular path to Harrison, Settlemier and then to Hwy 214. 33 Traffic 5th Street is too small to handle this great an increase in traffic It is true that 5th Street in its current condition does not have sufficient width to handle the increased traffic. The proposed 5th Street improvements would provide adequate lane widths for one-or two-way traffic within the existing public right-of-way 34 Traffic The intersection of 5th and Harrison is too small for the amount of new traffic See response to comment #33 above. 35 Traffic Flow Traffic will be choked at Harrison Street since 5th jogs there See response to comment #20 above. 36 Traffic Flow Where will traffic go? This is not a complete route This project will allow local residential traffic another option to access Hwy 214 without having to use another route like Settlemier or Front Street. 5th Street is not intended to be a complete through-route from one end of the City to another, but rather an "access" street that connects other collectors and arterials. 37 Traffic Flow Will the project include improvements to more north-south streets south of 5th Street? No. This project is intended to address 5th Street (and possibly 3rd Street) between Hwy 214 and Harrison. 38 Traffic Flow The project is not "thought through" An entire project design process to address the various concerns has not yet been completed. At this stage, the project need and purpose have been established. In order to determine the feasibility for the project, designs will be completed to the 30% design level. The City Council will then vote to determine whether the project should continue through final design and construction. 39 Proximity to School Increased air pollution Preliminary modeling results using EPA's SCREEN3 indicate that exposure levels to pollutants from increased traffic on 5th Street would be well below the accepted thresholds established under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and would not be a significant impact. Carbon monoxide (CO), the largest single criteria pollutant emitted from gasoline vehicles, does not approach concentrations anywhere near the 8-hour threshold of 10 mg per cubic meter of air. 40 Proximity to School Health issues, allergies See response to comment #39 above. 41 Proximity to School Increased road noise Noise impacts are being investigated. Relative increase in noise will be well below that required for mitigation (an increase in 10 dBA Leq or a peak hour level of 65 dBA Leq). As an example, exterior noise noise levels recently measured at residences near the I-5/1-205 junction range between 61 and 74 dBA Leq. 42 Proximity to School Loud music from car stereos See response to comment #41 above. 43 Proximity to School Distraction to students in class at St. Luke's School See response to comment #39 and #41 above. 44 General Keeping Woodburn green (green zone) "Green" concepts are inherently part of the project design such as preserving existing mature trees, inclusion of new landscaping strips, and potential low impact development approaches to the management of stormwater runoff. As project designs progress, the project design team will look for other opportunities to effectively include green stewardship concepts.

Engineers/Planners COMMENTS RESPONSE DATE RESPONSE COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG NOVEMBER 2009 OPEN HOUSES (11/18, 11/19 & 11/23) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. REGARDING 45 Cost The study will be expensive The City is investing in preliminary design efforts to determine the project feasibility prior to committing a larger amount of funds to the project. The relative cost to complete preliminary design is a small percentage (on the order of 5%) of the total design and construction costs. 46 Cost This is not the best use of City of Woodburn money This project is identified in the City's Transportation System Plan, which is a planning document identifying deficiencies in the existing transportation network and recommended actions to address those deficiencies. This project is one of the recommended actions to merge the two segregated sections of 5th Street to allow neighborhood traffic to access the churches, businesses, and the Woodburn High School. Funds have already been raised by the City for the purpose of completing this project. 47 Cost Who will pay; what will the source of funding be? The City of Woodburn is funding this project through already established funding mechanisms. 48 Cost Who will benefit from the costs they bear? The project will benefit a large portion of the City. Residents within the neighborhood around 5th Street will benefit from new pedestrian facilities, improved drainage system, landscaping, street lighting, new pavement, signing, striping and a new signal at Hwy 214 to improve turning movements. Residents of the broader community will also benefit through the reduction in congestion at key intersections, most notably Hwy 214 and Settlemier. 49 Cost Does the benefit really justify the difficulties it causes? The project design team believes the numerous benefits of this project to the community outweigh the difficulties. 50 Cost The economy is bad at this time Although the economy is indeed struggling, funding for this project has already been established. This project is actually anticipated to help the local economy in the short-term by providing jobs and in the longterm by reducing congestion and the number vehicle miles traveled (reduced gas consumption and time spent on the road). 51 General Through-traffic is not a benefit to the neighborhood, the church (St. Luke's), or the school; it will only benefit other families The traffic analysis currently being completed will summarize the expected users of 5th Street to better indentify who will benefit from the connection to Hwy 214. Although increased traffic can been seen as undesireable for the neiborhood, the neighborhood would benefit in other ways such as improved pedestrian facilities, landscaping, increased parking, etc. 52 Process The public should have been involved sooner This project was first identified in the City's Transportation System Plan as a potential project to meet a transporation need. The TSP is available on the City's website for the public to view. It was not until recently that funds became available to consider implementing this project. Since no work beyond what was presented in the TSP has been completed, there was insufficient information to present to the public beyond what was already publicly available in the TSP. The public will have many opportunities throughout the Open Houses and CAC meeting process to provide comments and influence the proposed design leading up to the 30% design level. The City Council will hold a public hearing at that point where public testimony will be accepted and then vote on whether to proceed with the project. 53 Traffic One-way streets are not beneficial One-way streets have several benefits and tradeoffs as compared to two-way streets depending on the priorities of the community. A oneway system on 5th and 3rd Streets for instance would allow for increased space for parking, sidewalks, landscaping, etc. since only one lane of traffic would be needed. However, local accessibility to residences would be limited as traffic could only approach from one direction. The traffic analysis being completed will summarize the pros and cons of converting 5th and 3rd Streets from two-way roadways to a one-way couplet. The project design team is interested to hear all comments and opinions from the CAC in this regard during the alternatives analysis discussion. 54 General Impact to the preservation district The City believes the Fifth Street Improvement Project is consistent with the Transportation System Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. The historic preservation district overlay was established to preserve the architectural features of structures constructed between 1890 and 1940. The Fifth Street project will not impact any historical structure.

Engineers/Planners COMMENTS RESPONSE DATE RESPONSE COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG NOVEMBER 2009 OPEN HOUSES (11/18, 11/19 & 11/23) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. REGARDING 55 General 5th Street did not originally connect to the highway; the Church and residents have been here longer than the street It is true that many residences and St. Luke's Church existed prior to and during the evolution of 5th Street into its current state. The current proposal to connect 5th Street to Hwy 214 would indeed create a new connection where one has not been previously available. As documented in the TSP, the City believes there would be several benefits to nearby residents, the churches and this region of the City as a whole through this project that will be discussed and evaluated during the CAC process. 56 General Impact of the new development on 2nd Street The City believes that the 5th Street project will provide an alternate access for new development on 2nd Street. Access to this new development is marginal because of the current condition of 2nd Street and the 5th Street project is not anticipated to significantly contribute to this problem. 57 Traffic A new signal on Hwy 214 at 5th Street will back up traffic on the highway See response to comment #20 above. Potential for traffic queuing on Hwy 214 will be included as part of the traffic analysis. 58 Pedestrian Pedestrians do not want to cross the highway at 5th Street because there is not much to visit along Meridian Drive. The traffic analysis being completed will summarize the existing and future pedestrian crossings at the Highway 214/5th/Meridian intersection. 59 TSP Butteville and Crosby are a bigger problem The intersection of Butteville and Crosby is located approximately 2 miles to the northeast of 5th and Hwy 214. Traffic congestion at that location can be addressed as part of future Transportation System Plan updates. The proposed 5th Street improvements are being considered to address traffic congestion in a more focused area of the City around 5th Street. 60 Design Bulb-outs may impede truck/bus traffic. Bulb-outs can indeed limit truck and bus turning movements. Bulb-outs also have several potential benefits such as shortening pedestrian crossing distances and providing a traffic calming effect. The project design team will seek input regarding truck/bus routing and turning movements to properly locate and design bulb-outs during the final design process if the project is approved by the City Council at the 30% design level. 61 Signal A signal is needed at Hwy 214 and 5th Street for pedestrian safety A signal at this intersection would enhance pedestrian safety. The traffic analysis will evaluate multiple traffic signal warrants at the Highway 214/5th/Meridian intersection, including warrants based on pedestrians and safety. 62 Signal A signal would make it easier to get in and out of the Seventh Day Adventist Church A signal at this intersection would allow for consistent and safer vehicle turning movements between Hwy 214 and 5th Street. 63 Process-Specific Specific You will never please everyone Consensus is not the goal of the project. 64 Community Interests The safety and livability of 19,800 other citizens of the community should take precedence over the objectives and inconvenience of 200 The project design team will seek to design a project that maximizes benefits for all who are affected by this project. Benefits and impacts for residents on 5th Street will be viewed differently than those who use the transportation system but don't live directly on 5th. 65 Community Interests I support whatever is better for the community as a whole Design team will seek a community oriented solution to propose to the council. 66 Traffic Flow I agree that 5th Street should be opened See response to comment #20 above. 67 Crime I think this project is a good idea and I hope it brings down crime rates See response to comment #19 above. 68 Process-Specific A pros and cons list for the project The project design team is developing an alternatives spreadsheet to show how each alternative responds to the primary community concerns and engineering objectives. Perceived pros and cons are often subjective. The project design team will give examples of benefits at the first meeting and will seek feedback from the CAC members to expand the pros and cons list for further evaluation at the second meeting. 69 Process-Specific Make a detailed map with accurate depiction of right of way limits and how they affect given properties Plan view alternatives will be provided. These figures will show right-ofway considerations among several other items. As feedback is obtained from the CAC members, the project design team will provide additional detail on these figures for continued evaluation. 70 Process-Specific Do not use overly technical vocabulary at committee meetings The project design team will attempt to phrase the discussion in an understandable way. 71 Process-Specific Listen to citizen comments The project design team is very interested and committed to listening to citizen comments through the CAC meeting process. 72 Process-Specific Have a Woodburn Independent rep at the meetings so the paper can report the information to the population The newspaper was provided information about the open house events so they could attend, but they chose not to. Reporters are welcome to attend CAC meetings.

Engineers/Planners COMMENTS RESPONSE DATE RESPONSE COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG NOVEMBER 2009 OPEN HOUSES (11/18, 11/19 & 11/23) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. REGARDING 73 Process-Specific It seems to have already been decided that the project will happen, and the focus seems to be on selling the project to the public, rather than truly being open to the community's concerns The City has only committed to developing a project design to the 30% design level in order to determine the project feasibility. The project will be voted on by the City Council at the 30% design level to determine if the project will continue through final design and construction. The project design team will actively listen to the community concerns throughout the preliminary design process. 74 Process-Specific Earlier notification, more complete information on fliers See response to comment #52 above. 75 Process-Specific Have a meeting earlier than this; get the public involved before the project is awarded for design See response to comment #52 and #73 above. 76 Process-Specific More information in the local newspaper The project design team will make information available to the Woodburn Independent , although it will be the decision of the newspaper as to what information will be published. 77 Process-Specific Announce the meeting by telephone The City does not have a record of personal phone numbers, but if citizens share their phone number or email with the project team, they will be notified of the next public hearing on the project. 78 Process-Specific Need someone to explain the project better in Spanish The project team will work to improve how we provide project information in Spanish. Your specific feedback on how we can improve is greatly appreciated. 79 Process-Specific Let us know the final decision See response to comment #73 above. 80 Process-Specific Distribute fliers to a wider audience (all property owners) The City is committed to providing project information to all property owners and residents along 5th Street. Any omissions in the past were unintentional. 81 Traffic Consider a stop sign on 5th Street where the barrier is now The traffic analysis will evaluate operations at intersections along 5th Street and recommend traffic control devices as appropriate, including stop signs. 82 Signals Consider a traffic signal at Salud Medical Center/Park Ave While this intersection might meet warrants for signalization, it is located outside the project limits. A signal at this intersection could be evaluated as part of the Hwy 214 widening project or seprately as another future City project. 83 Traffic Consider speed humps on 5th Street Speed humps are one of many traffic calming devices that could be included and will be evaluated during the design of 5th Street. 84 Pedestrian Consider a pedestrian crossing over Hwy 214 instead of opening up 5th Street The traffic analysis will evaluate the pedestrian volumes crossing Highway 214 to determine the feasibility for a crossing; however, this feature is likely outside the scope of this project. A pedestrian crossing over Hwy 214 would likely improve pedestrian safety, although it would not address the traffic congestion issues that led to the inclusion of this proposed project in the City's TSP. See alternatives comparison table for additional information. 85 TSP Consider alternatives to 5th Street Please see alternatives comparison table for additional information. 86 TSP Amend the TSP to remove 5th Street as a through street If at the 30% design level the City Council votes to not proceed with this project, future updates to the TSP will recognize this decision. 87 TSP Consider a by-pass of Hwy 214 to provide an alternative for local traffic A potential bypass of Hwy 214 would be a significant undertaking (hundreds of millions of dollars) and is outside the scope of this project. This type of alternative might be considered as part of the Hwy 214 widening evaluation that is currently being worked on. 88 TSP Opening Commerce Way to Hwy 214 would be a better option Opening 5th Street to Hwy 214 is intended to provide a neighborhood connection that will relieve traffic congestion on nearby streets. Since Commerce Way is 5 blocks away and adjacent to Front Street which also has a connection to Hwy 214, connecting Commerce Way to Hwy 214 is not expected to provide the same level of traffic relief to the streets around 5th Street. 89 Signals Please put a light at the exit/entrance of Nuevo Amanecer onto 5th Street The traffic analysis will include review the volumes at this access; however, signalization is highly unlikely at this location given the close proximity to the Highway 214/5th/Meridian intersection. 90 General What is the benefit for our children? Potentially shorter street crossings with crosswalks (couplet option), signalized crossings of Hwy 214, street lighting, sidewalks and ADA ramps are all examples of proposed facilities that can be seen as benefits for the children and all pedestrians. G:\09\1094\202 Public Involvement\CAC\Meetings\CAC Meeting #1\Materials Development\Open House Comment 6 of 7 -Response Log 12-30-09 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers/Planners COMMENTS RESPONSE DATE RESPONSE COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG NOVEMBER 2009 OPEN HOUSES (11/18, 11/19 & 11/23) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. REGARDING 91 General If 5th Street is not opened, does that mean there won't be a traffic signal? The traffic analysis will include a signal warrant study at the Highway 214/5th/Meridian intersection to determine if it is warranted with or without the 5th Street connection. However, it is very unlikely that ODOT would accept a standalone signal project if 5th Street is not opened even if warrants were met (meeting a warrant is a necessary, but not sufficient condition to install a traffic signal on a highway). 92 General If Hwy 214 is widened, do we really need this project? Widening of Hwy 214 is not yet certain, and if it is widened, it may not happen for several years. This proposed project is anticipated to provide more immediate traffic relief for the streets around 5th Street and will continue to provide better traffic dispersion if/when Hwy 214 is widened. 93 General Why 5th Street and not another street like Settlemier Ave? Settlemier Street has already been developed to a large extent and 5th Street provides a good opportunity to help relieve traffic congestion in the area at a relatively low cost. 94 Process Will the Planning Commission vote on the project? See response to comment #73 above. 95 Process There are many people impacted negatively; how will you weigh their concerns against the needs of the entire community? For those people who feel they are negatively impacted, the design team will record their specific concerns through the CAC process. The project design team will determine how to address these concerns within the scope of the project and suggest possible options and design solutions during the meeting process. Concerns will be weighed and addressed differently depending on the degree of impact and whether practical solutions can be found. 96 Funding Can the City pay for improvements to the school property to mitigate noise and air quality impacts? See response to comment #39 and #41 above. 97 Design How wide will the road be? The road width has not yet been determined. The project design team will present several options at the CAC meetings for consideration. The road width may change along 5th Street depending on community needs. All improvements are planned to remain within the existing 60 foot right-of-way and a maximum of two travel lanes are being considered for this project. 98 Design How close will the road be to the school building? See response to comment #97 above. 99 Funding Has the City received Federal funds for this project? No. All funds will be through the City. 100 Traffic Aren't we just moving the problem from one place to another? The goal of this project is to relieve congestion to streets adjacent to 5th Street without surpassing the capacity of 5th Street itself. 101 Traffic What will the new vehicle count of 5th Street be? See response to comment #20 above. 102 Construction Schedule When would the signal at Hwy 214 and 5th Street be installed? If a traffic signal is warranted, the signal would be installed when 5th Street is improved. A construction schedule for this project has not yet been completed. If the City Council votes to continue with this project, construction would likely be in 2011. 103 Traffic How much traffic will this project remove from Settlemier Ave? See response to comment #20 above. 104 Signals What are ODOT's standards to approve a signal? In order to construct a signal on ODOT right-of-way, ODOT requires that a traffic signal warrant analysis be completed. There are several criteria that are used during this analysis to determine if a traffic signal meets "warrants" such that it can be justified. When a traffic signal meets warrants, it means that a signal can be justified at that location, although it is not required. As noted above, meeting warrants is a necessary but not sufficient condition for signal installation. G:\09\1094\202 Public Involvement\CAC\Meetings\CAC Meeting #1\Materials Development\Open House Comment 7 of 7 -Response Log 12-30-09 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers/Planners 105 TSP Provide copies of the 2005 TSP update to the CAC so they can see the other options that were previously eliminated. Due to the number of pages in the 2005 TSP update, applicable excerpts from this document will be provided to all CAC members to conserve resources. Two complete copies of the TSP will be available for reference at CAC Meeting #2 and complete copies can be provided to any CAC member upon request. 106 Yew Street Extension Provide information on the impact of creating a new public street inside of Nuevo Amanecer instead of extending Yew Street to determine its feasibility. MSA will present four different options to connect 3rd Street to 5th Street including a new public street inside the Nuevo Amanecer. These options will be shown on a plan sheet and include a list of pros & cons regarding the impacts as well as budget level cost estimates to be used for comparison purposes. 107 Traffic Provide traffic information for the following streets: Harrison, Settlemier, Boones Ferry and Lincoln between downtown and Settlemier. Approximate existing traffic volumes and post project traffic trends based on engineering judgment will be shown in a figure for the requested streets and several other streets in the vicinity of 5th Street. The project design team is currently coordinating with ODOT to establish and reach acceptance on the post project traffic volumes to be used to perform the traffic analysis. ODOT is currently reviewing the model and are anticipated to release results in the first half of February. 108 Traffic Flow What is the proposed circulation pattern and plan for Harrison Street? Harrison Street would remain a two-way street per the existing conditions under any of the proposed 5th Street improvement alternatives. The circulation pattern under Alternative 1 (two-way on 5th) would remain the same although turning volumes at 5th and Harrison are expected to increase. Under Alternative 2 (one-way on 3rd and 5th), turning movements to and from 3rd and 5th Street would change to correspond correspond with either a clockwise or counterclockwise pattern. Once post project traffic volumes are established (see comment #108 above), turning movements at Harrison will be evaluated for all alternatives to determine if potential congestion would occur. 109 Yew Street Extension Extend Yew St. all the way to Front St. instead of dumping traffic onto Harrison. Extending and improving Yew Street to Front Street would likely have a positive effect on the transportation system as proposed, but to do so would require several property acquisitions (at least 5 parcels) at an additional cost of about $2 million. Such an extension is outside the scope and budget of this project but could be considered as part of future TSP updates. 110 Signal The proposed traffic light on Hwy 214 at 5th St. seems to be most beneficial to the businesses and community on Meridian, north of Hwy 214. If traffic is going to be shuttled onto Harrison, it just seems like a bottleneck will be moved from one location to another. Assuming Assuming the 5th Street connection to Hwy 214 is made, the project design team believes a signal at 5th and Hwy 214 will provide a benefit for the community on both sides of Hwy 214. Once traffic volumes are modeled and agreed upon with ODOT, the project design team and CAC memebers will be able to see and compare the volume of traffic on both sides of Hwy 214. Also, the project design team will be able to analyze the impact at 5th and Harrison to determine if congestion or a "bottleneck" would occur at that location. 111 Emergency Response Provide more information about fire, emergency response and public safety analysis. It is expected that as the alternatives are presented and feedback is provided by the CAC, emergency response representatives on the CAC will be able to provide their perspective. In general, connecting 5th Street to Hwy 214 is seen as a benefit for emergency response as it provides another viable route through the City. 112 Community Interests Provide more information about how far 5th St. will be extended onto property when widened. The 5th Street improvements will be within existing public right-of-way and will not be widened onto private property. Several residences currently have yards and driveways that extend into the public right-ofway that may be affected. The project design team can design the improvements to limit impacts to certain areas within the pubic right-ofway that are desired to be maintained. Preliminary cross sections showing these effects have been provided and will be updated and refined with CAC input. As discussed below in comment #113, the project design team will conduct a field walk-through to better demonstrate to CAC members the options for widening 5th Street. 113 Community Interests Organize a field trip for members of the community who would like to walk along 5th St. to more clearly visualize proposed improvements. A field trip has been scheduled for Saturday, January 23rd at 10 AM to satisfy this request. COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING #1 (1/6/2010) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. REGARDING COMMENTS RESPONSE DATE RESPONSE 1 of 1 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers/Planners 114 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Property impacts Define “right-of-way”. Right-of-way as referred to in the context of this project means the publicly owned space that can be used for improvements. The right-ofway for 5th Street is 60 feet wide 115 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Community Interests I live here; it doesn’t make sense to create a oneway couplet. Comment noted. 116 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Traffic Flow Question about radius of corner at Harrison. It is expected that the curb radius at the corners of Harrison and 5th Street will be reconstructed and rounded as part of this project to better allow for buses to turn without using the entire roadway. 117 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design What other options have been considered other than 5th? Several options were considered during development of the City’s TSP to improve the transportation system. The 5th Street improvements project was identified as a key improvement. 118 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Can we reduce the size of sidewalks and landscaping to keep the road out of people’s yards? Generally yes. The flexible design areas shown in the preliminary figures, which include parking, sidewalks and landscaping can be designed to best fit within the available space to reduce impacts to existing features within the public right-of-way such as existing landscaping. 119 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Consider 4 foot sidewalks if we include them on both sides. Comment noted. 120 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design What are minimum standards for local streets? 5th Street is proposed to become and “Access” street as defined in the TSP. Typical standards for Access streets include 12 foot wide travel lanes, 8 foot wide parking on both sides, 6 foot wide landscaping strips on both sides and 6 foot wide sidewalks on both sides. These are “typical” dimensions rather than “minimum” dimensions and the City expects to adjust these typical features and dimensions for this project. 121 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Traffic calming is going to be needed. Traffic calming devices will be considered and implemented during the final design phase. 122 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Can we design the street differently in different parts of 5th street? Yes, certain features and dimensions of features and be adjusted accordingly, although some level of consistency is desirable along the street. 123 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design How do you decide when to install a crosswalk and when do you install one with flashing lights? Several factors must be considered prior to installing a crosswalk or crosswalk with flashing lights including volume of pedestrian traffic, speed, other nearby crossing locations etc. It is expected that crosswalk locations would be determined during final design. 124 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design The signs in advance of a crosswalk help me as a driver know when to watch for pedestrians. Comment noted. 125 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Need advance signage to communicate the truck restriction. This is currently a problem on Settlemier. Comment noted. 126 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Funding Is there money left to resurface Fir Street? This project needs to consider the impact on increased traffic on side streets. Funds for this project will be limited to improvements on 5th Street and Yew Street if the Yew Street connection is made. Funds for resurfacing other side streets will come from the City’s ongoing maintenance funds and are subject to the priorities of which streets have the most need. 127 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Traffic Flow What happens to the traffic once it hits Harrison? Traffic will flow similar to the current configuration with right or left turn movements. Traffic analysis will be completed to determine if potential congestion would occur. 128 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design From Fir Street, north it would be best to keep curb line where it is to protect front yards. Comment noted. 129 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Do we have to have on-street parking on both sides? No. Parking can be designed on one side only, although the City would prefer to have parking on at least one side of the street. 130 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Limit parking to one side in the more narrow areas of 5th Street. Comment noted. 131 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design It is obvious that the neighborhood needs parking in the north area of 5th Street. Comment noted. 132 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Yew Street Extension Discussion about Yew St. and various alternatives. The potential Yew Street extension will be discussed in more detail at CAC Meeting #2. 133 1/23/2010 (Walking Tour) Design Do we have to have a planter between the sidewalk and the pavement? No, although the benefit of this orientation is separation of the pedestrian from traffic thereby increasing pedestrian safety.

Cut into Church parking area for the extension to 3rd Street to keep the 6-plex. plex. Comment noted. 138 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP What were the criteria for selecting Alternative 2 in the TSP? Dan Brown responded and said that the adoption of the TSP was the result of a separate public process with final adoption by the Woodburn City Council. It was adopted in 2005 with Alternative 2 providing an improved level of connectivity for Woodburn and access across 214. 139 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP Have any of the projects in Alternative 2 in the TSP been completed? Dan Brown said there is a current backlog of TSP projects because of a lack of funding. The 5th Street Improvements rose to the top of the TSP due to state funding for the widening of 214. Ideally, the 5th Street Improvements should be completed prior to the 214 improvements. 140 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP If the city does not improve 5th Street, could they get fined by ODOT? No, but already allocated federal and state dollars are being spent to explore widening Hwy 214 assuming 5th Street is opened per the TSP. The lack of follow through by the City could have ramifications if it ended up not being opened. 141 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Funding Who will be paying for the Hwy 214 project? ODOT and Federal dollars will be spent to widen 214 and these plans could be compromised or changed if 5th street is not opened. 142 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design In regards to cross-section A-A, if there was a 4-foot sidewalk instead of a 6-foot sidewalk, the traffic lanes could be 12 feet instead of 11 feet. Yes, there is some flexibility on the width of elements like this. As things vary from the City’s standard they need to be approved on a case-by-case basis. 143 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design Would the trees along the side of St. Luke’s survive? As currently drawn, the intent would be to save the trees. However, an arborist would be consulted to determine if damage to the root system would occur during and after construction. 144 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design Should the lanes be a consistent width along the length of the street? Ideally, yes. There are instances that could could lead to exceptions of this, however, such as a existing features determined to be essential to keep. 145 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design Clockwise motion makes the most sense because of the connection at Harrison. Comment noted. 146 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design Would Harrison remain a 2-way street? Yes. 147 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design It seems that any one-way option would increase traffic, as any resident on either 3rd or 5th will have to complete the entire loop each time they leave or return home. Comment noted. 148 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design Event traffic at St. Luke’s should be accounted for. A one-way street does not make sense when event traffic is considered. Comment noted. 149 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design Both school busses and public busses need to be considered. Comment noted. 150 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design The current drop-off and pick-up rotation at St. Luke’s has drivers entering off of 5th Street and exiting on 3rd Street. Comment noted. 151 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design School busses currently have a difficult time turning the corner onto 5th from Harrison. Comment noted. 152 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design How many parking spaces will be provided near the school with Alternative 2? (Cross Section E-E) The number of spaces will be approximately as shown on Figure 2, although a few of the spaces shown will likely be removed to allow for better turning movements. 153 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design Will the sidewalk continue on 5th street all the way to 214? Yes. 154 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Yew Street Extension Why will there be a sidewalk and parking provided on Yew Street if no-one lives on that street? For connectivity and access. 2 of 4 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers/Planners COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG WALKING TOUR AND CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING #2 (1/28/2010) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. REGARDING COMMENTS RESPONSE COMMENT DATE 155 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design The intent of the Green Option (#4) was to align it along the properties adjacent to Nuevo Amanecer not on the parking of Nuevo Amanecer. It could be eventually connected all the way to 1st . The "Green Option" has been updated on Figure 3 as provided as an attachment to the City's Memo regarding the Yew Street Extension on February 5th, 2010. 156 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Yew Street Extension With any Yew Street connection, Yew should be extended east to 1st to make an easy connection to downtown Woodburn. An extension of Yew St. to 1st Street is not currently planned as part of this project and is not part of the TSP. Such an extension would not be connected to 1st because there is an already planned and approved housing development between 1st and 2nd Streets. 157 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP It seems that any option will put more traffic on 3rd and 5th and subsequently Harrison. The project team will have the modeling numbers at the next CAC meeting so the group will have a better understanding of potential traffic numbers. 158 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP The city wants to put a traffic signal at 5th so it does not matter which alternative we select, the city will complete what it wants regardless of our desires. If that were the case, the city hopes to receive feedback to help ensure that the proposed project is the best possible option for all. Recall that there is a “no build” option that is being considered along with the other options. 159 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Design If the city goes ahead with the 5th Street Improvements, would the traffic signal at 214 not be completed until ODOT widens the highway? If the project moves ahead and traffic signal warrants are met, the city could construct a traffic signal at the intersection prior to the widening of 214. 160 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Community Interests The pros and cons are outlined for each of the options; the pros and cons should be outlined for the entire project. One purpose for the dot exercise that is next on the agenda, is to begin the process of creating just such a list. 161 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP Who will be traveling, coming to and from where, along the new 5th Street Improvements? The project will provide improved access and options from the surrounding neighborhood to and from 214 as well as improved options and access to downtown for those than do not live in the neighborhood. 162 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP Will it provide improved access to downtown for non-residents as well? Yes. 163 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP The Green and Yellow options would be very expensive for property acquisition and road building. Taking any portion of property of the Woodburn Community Church of Christ could negatively impact the entire property causing a complete relocation. The Church could not function without the parking lot and there are plans to use the back corner field as a playground, ballpark or food bank. Comment noted. 164 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) TSP Making a connection as far east as possible makes the most sense from a connectivity and emergency access standpoint. Comment noted. 165 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Community Interests Currently there is so little traffic on 5th and 3rd Streets that these are safe streets for children so any option will eliminate space for children. As a possible mitigation, the project could also pay for a playground on the Woodburn Community Church of Christ property. Comment noted. 166 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Community Interests A member of the public expressed concern about the effect of the project on her parent’s property on Yew. They recently spent more than $40,000 on remodeling and don’t want the project to negatively impact their improvements. Comment noted. 167 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Community Interests A member of the public expressed a concern for safety, speed and cut-through traffic. There was extra concern expressed about potential increased speeds on the one-way options. Eric responded and mentioned that there would be school zone signs and traffic calming measures instituted that would reduce speeds with any option. Also, Safe Routes to Schools designs would be incorporated into any option. 168 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Community Interests There was a concern expressed about potential commuter cut-through traffic, not just local traffic that would negatively impact the neighborhood. Comment noted. The pending traffic modeling information is expected to help show whether this phenomenon would occur. 169 1/28/2010 (CAC #2) Community Interests A member of the public mentioned that he has lived in Woodburn for more than 40 years and does not see a need for the project at all. Comment noted. 3 of 4 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers/Planners COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG WALKING TOUR AND CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING #2 (1/28/2010) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. REGARDING COMMENTS RESPONSE COMMENT DATE 170 2/5/2010 (Peppi Kosikowski email) Yew Street Extension With regard to Yew, why is it only shown as a two way street? If we consider the couplet option, wouldn’t Yew be one way? If Yew was a one way street would it be narrow enough so the Hunt’s property would not have to be acquired? So then we would still have two Yew options? Thanks for taking time to look at the CAC memo and for your questions. At this point in the design, we need to consider the worse case scenario with regard to property impacts. Therefore, we are looking at acquiring the full 50 feet of R/W necessary to construct a twoway local residential street per the current City of Woodburn TSP. This would require the acquisition of the Hunt’s property and the apartment complex. A two-way street will more effectively distribute traffic to points east of Fifth Fifth Street and provide a more direct connection to OR 214. Therefore, even with the couplet option, Yew Street could still be configured as a two-way street. The four Yew Street options were “alignment” options. There is still work to be done to complete the actual configuration and amenities of Yew Street and Fifth Street. We will be discussing the influence of Yew St and its configuration further as we examine Alternative 2 in more depth at the upcoming CAC meetings. 171 2/12/2010 (Casey Robles email) Property impacts Property Impacts -Please clarify if these homes will be presented with additional yearly property taxes due to the road improvement increasing the value of their home. Will there be any assistance for families that cannot afford? We cannot predict the outcome of any future tax assessments that may or may not occur on the properties along 5th Street. Historical data indicates that property values generally increase after a street improvement project such as this one. The City does not know if (or when) the County tax assessor’s office would reassess the subject properties after the project is completed (if the project is approved). 172 2/12/2010 (Casey Robles email) Property impacts Property impacts -states that "maintenance will generally be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner". Please clarify further. Does this mean if the homeowner doesn't maintain -then the landscaping gets run down. What if the property owner does not have the ability to maintain the landscaping due to health, finances or work schedule? It is the City’s position that homeowners have the responsibility to maintain the landscaping that is adjacent to their property. 173 2/12/2010 (Casey Robles email) Traffic Traffic -This response states that St. Lukes playground is an option for neighborhood children to go for play. This is not true, it is closed to public and marked with no trespassing signs. You are correct. I will have our project delivery team make this modification in the comment/response log. If the project is approved and constructed, the new street lighting and other enhanced facilities are expected to decrease crime activity in the neighborhood. After this occurs, you and your neighbors may want to petition St. Luke’s owners to reinstate playground privileges for children in the neighborhood. 174 2/12/2010 (Casey Robles email) Signals Signals -How may the intersection at Salud and Park Ave. meet warrants for a signal? From my understanding, the present intersection at OR 214 and Park Avenue will likely not meet warrants for a traffic signal due to the configuration of the intersection. However, ODOT will be installing a pedestrian activated signal on the upcoming OR 214: Front Street Ramp to Progress Way Project in the next few months to facilitate pedestrian safety. 175 2/12/2010 (Casey Robles email) Funding Funding -I do not feel like this question was answered. I do want to know if the City will be helping the school and home owners with improvements that become necessary due to the increased traffic traffic on 5th. What is available for home owners who feel like they need new windows because of the additional noise? The City will follow all Federal Highway Administration requirements regarding the mitigation of increased noise or increased air quality on the Fifth Street Project as it is warranted. 176 2/12/2010 (Casey Robles email) Design Also, I realize that not all traffic reports are completed, but I would like to know how much traffic is estimated to be traveling 5th on a daily basis. I have only seen one traffic count take place on 5th. Will another one be happening soon? We have updated the City website to include the latest estimated traffic counts for Fifth Street and the street surrounding the project location. If the design team needs additional traffic count information, they will obtain it in the upcoming weeks. 4 of 4 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers/Planners 177 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Funding What is the budget for the project? Dan Brown responded and said that the City had allocated money that will cover the project design and some property costs. The City has a responsibility to finish the project with the least amount of cost possible. Options 1, 3 and 4 were all more expensive than Option 2 and did not provide any significant benefit over Option 2. Currently the projected cost is estimated at about twice the original estimates. The Woodburn City Council will have to budget for this project. He said that 45% ($1.3 Million available) of the project will be paid for with System Development Charges. 178 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Funding There were CAC concerns with where the 55% costs of the project will come from that will not come from SDCs. Dan responded that he will need to look further into the availability of funding to better address this concern. 179 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Property impacts CAC member Casey Robles had concerns with property acquisition and will not support any option that requires a forced sale of property. Comment noted. 180 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Yew Street Extension CAC member Cindy Wurdinger-Kelly had the only yellow card (in regards to voting to eliminate Options 1, 3 and 4 for Yew Street). She felt that the City did not fully analyze the options. She felt that the Yew Street Option in general is okay but felt that the City should have fully analyzed all of the options, in particular those that could connect to 1st in the future. Comment noted. 181 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Design It is a reasonable assumption that the majority of new traffic through the project area will be peak hour traffic. Comment noted. 182 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic Are the numbers shown in the near or distant future? The numbers shown are within months after the completed project but are assuming 2009 behaviors. ODOT has completed a model for 2035. That model shows that as infrastructure improves over time, there will be less pressure for people to seek alternate routes, or routes that cut through neighborhoods to avoid congestion on state highway bottlenecks. 183 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic It was stated that the purpose of the project was to relieve traffic congestion on Settlemier but the numbers show that there is little to no improvement. Is the project being completed for only 500 cars a day? Roughly 25% of the traffic using the opened 5th Street will be from within the immediate area, about 35% will be from north of 214 and the majority of the potential 500 fewer cars along Settlemier will be during peak hour which would have significant impact. 184 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic Volumes The estimated guess is good but it also seems that if the 5th Street project is not completed that the numbers along Settlemier would be greatly increased. Comment noted. 185 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Property impacts Houses are closer to the streets on 5th than on other busy streets like Harrison. Comment noted. 186 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic Flow The St. Luke’s families use 5th Street 400 times a day, a couplet will make the pick up and drop off flow better. Comment noted. 187 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Design It was requested that when the information is presented to the City Council that it would be presented the same way it was originally presented to the CAC (with no differentiation between the traffic congestion categories). It was also mentioned that, depending on your perspective, the first four categories could be congestion related (local traffic congestion, system-wide traffic congestion, vehicle access and emergency response access). Comment noted. 188 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Design It was requested that the CAC be allowed to revote on their priorities as the process moves forward as members’ perspectives change. Comment noted. 189 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic Flow The clockwise couplet introduces a left turn movement at Yew and 5th, which would automatically create traffic issues. Comment noted. 190 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Design Are there currently any one-way streets in Woodburn? There is a modified one-way street for truck traffic. Dan Brown mentioned that there is a strong aversion to one-way streets in Woodburn in general.

COMMENT DATE REGARDING COMMENTS RESPONSE 1 of 2 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. Engineers/Planners COMMENT/RESPONSE LOG CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING #3 (2/18/2010) 5TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT CITY OF WOODBURN ITEM NO. COMMENT DATE REGARDING COMMENTS RESPONSE 191 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic Flow Is emergency vehicle access reduced in the oneway option? CAC member Paul Iverson responded and said that he does not like one-way streets as they can potentially increase response times. Dan Brown mentioned that response times are important but should not be used solely to make a final decision. Response times of the different options compared to current response times should be analyzed. He also mentioned that, given enough room, most emergency responders could access the streets going against the flow of traffic if the emergency required it. 192 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic Flow It should be noted that opening 5th Street is a major factor in improving response times. Comment noted. 193 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Property impacts The project should improve property values. If the Front Street project is looked at at as an example, parking, a new street, new curbs and new sidewalks improve property values and with improved appearance, people generally take better care of their property, further improving property values. Comment noted. 194 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Community Interests One CAC member felt that private property impacts also include the livability inside homes and the impacts of living on a busier street. It was mentioned that nobody wants cars driving by their home all day. Comment noted. 195 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Traffic A member of the public asked if delay is accounted for in the traffic model. Kevin said that delay is not addressed in the raw traffic volume numbers from the model, but is evaluated during the traffic analysis process for intersections of concern. The traffic numbers along the local streets in the project area normally low enough that they do not cause much concern. Dan Brown mentioned that volume to capacity is how the traffic flow is more often communicated. 196 2/18/2010 (CAC #3) Community Interests A CAC member expressed the need for the project team to ask for their opinions on the options, as the meeting format does not leave much room for opinions to be expressed Comment noted. 2 of 2 Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc.

It doesn’t serve the purpose of increasing “connectivity” north or south as the City is trying to do. There will be a bottleneck at Harrison and that doesn’t serve the citizens of Woodburn. ODOT has not approved a light at 5th and 214 and they may never approve it. Why would you disrupt 5th street for a light that may never happen. Process: Positive process, necessary for the citizen. 3/11/10 Jaime Estrada First: Alternative 1 Second: Alternative 3 Third: Alternative 2 Very good traffic flow in all directions. Local residents can drive north onto 214 without too much inconvenience. They can also drive south to downtown without any difficulty. People who are not familiar with the area can turn around very easy at any intersection if they pass their destination. Process: The process was very informative. The engineers can city staff did a wonderful job providing the information that committee members requested. The group was made of a very good cross section of the community. 2 3/11/10 Jessy Olson First: Alternative 2 Second: Alternative 1 Third: Alternative 3 I think the 5th Street extension definitely needs to happen. As a representative of Nuevo Amencer and FHDC, we think it will improve safety and help with access and traffic congestion. Even though it is not an option here, I think the Yew Street connection is a good idea. Process: Very fair process – great facilitation 3/11/10 Mario S. Magana First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 1 Third: Alternative 2 I’m a member of St. Luke’s Church. I am very concerned about the school students, since our school building lacks AC and we have no financial means to install it. I strongly believe that most of the CAC members are in favor of the No Build alternative. Alternative 1 would be my second choice because it is more practical for traffic than Alternative 2. Process: We need more time available for discussion. 3/11/10 Caroline Sanchez Ruiz First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 2 Third: Alternative 1 Although aesthetically, this would be an excellent improvement project for the 5th Street homeowners, this is not, nor in my mind, will it ever be a fair or equitable exchange. The risk factors for safety, air quality, noise and P/U and D/O are all hugely impacted. This project in and of itself is a good one. I don’t feel it’s a good one for the residents or parishioners/students/families of St. Luke Church and school. My children’s safety as well as that of all St. Luke school students, faculty and staff are of grave concern to me and my family. I see the number of fatalities and accidents that happen near schools and in congested/restricted streets and that is a chance I refuse to take or expose my children to. Please find an alternative street(s) for this project. There is no good reason to waste or discard all of your work, research and time you’ve invested in this so far. Process: I appreciate the opportunity of having my opinion heard and taken into account. Thank you. 3 3/11/10 Christine M. Vistica First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 2 Third: Alternative 1 We have a school that I feel is the best in Woodburn (check our state scores), any build besides the “no build” will impact our school greatly. We are talking about our future leaders, our future “Dan Brown’s and Mayor Figley’s”. We have several routes to downtown now that can be used with proper signage and lights. We have 99 Park Avenue, and Settlemier. You don’t need 5th to have your light on 214 if that is what you want. You will be heading down to a “dead end” on Harrison and we really don’t have the money to help our school improve to offset these changes. 3/11/10 Rob Carney First: Alternative 2 Second: Alternative 3 Third: Alternative 1 I believe that Alternative 2 offers the least distress to the residents on Harrison and 5th. I do not believe we should proceed with a two-way option and prefer to install a traffic signal at Meridian and 5th and not open the barrier before a more suitable solution is discovered. Process: Very professional and effective. 3/11/10 Anonymous First: Alternative 2 Second: Alternative 3 Third: Alternative 1 I feel that Alternative 2 would benefit the school and the church the best as it would cut the traffic in half and would give adequate parking. It would also help the 5th street residents with traffic congestion by splitting the traffic flow between 5th and 3rd. If the couplet idea is not chosen, I feel the “no build” will be my next choice because Alternative 1 will be too much traffic coming into and going out Harrison and 5th. Process: I like it. The meetings seem to run smoothly. For the most part everyone could talk freely. I feel there could have been more work done on the other options. 4 3/11/10 Tom Lonergan First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 2 Third: Alternative 1 I am for the no build option because of the disruption to the educational process at St. Lukes. I feel the school needs the windows open due to heat and air quality about 4 to 6 months out of the year and with the visual and noise distraction the 1000 more cars would bring to 5th street. This would be a major educational distraction. Also, I see more traffic congestion at the intersection of 5th and Harrison. Process: This was a very good value the city did a fin job educating us and giving us in formation on the project. 3/11/10 Anonymous First: Alternative 1 Second: Alternative: 2 Third: Alternative 3 Alternative one provides the greatest level of improvement citywide. Most gain for residents/users equals best value. Highly favorable, moves traffic, provides pedestrian safety and emergency vehicle access. The negatives can be addressed at the specific design phase Process: Useful but seemed to be to long, could have shortened it up. Excellent facilitator. 3/11/10 Anonymous First: Alternative 1 Second: Alternative 2 Third: Alternative 3 Alternative 1 gives the most access to increase connectivity of the city. It will enhance vehicle access. It should reduce peak flows on Settlemeir and 214. Consideration needs to be taken to minimize impacts on private property. Alternative 2: it works okay but It increases impacts on private property rights. It will increase access and connectivity of the community. Process: The process went well. I strongly believe that the city did a good job trying to get citizen comments. 5 3/11/10 Ed Krupicka First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 1 Third: Alternative 2 Initially this project was presented as required to get a traffic light on 214. According to ODOT personnel, opening 5th street is not the determining factor. This will have a negative impact on the livability of residents in the area. This will have a dramatic negative impact on St. Luke school regarding safety, noise, distracting for students and air quality – all caused by the increased traffic. Putting all the traffic on Harrison street will cause traffic congestion in that area. Efforts should be made with ODOT to put in the traffic light without opening 5th street. Process: The process did provide much more information than we would have had without the meetings. It also gave a good insight by the other committee members. 3/11/10 Tom Welch First: Alternative 1 Second: Alternative 2 Third: Alternative 3 Projecting the inevitable increases in traffic, there seems to me no choice but to open 5th street – to provide additional routing options to both motor vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic, especially onto off of 214, other than Settlemier or Boones Ferry Rd. Opening 5th to 214 and placing crossing signals, crosswalk at 214/5th, sidewalks and crossing controls along 5th to Harrison will address the current and future needs to traffic flow. Access to that part of town to emergency vehicle response will be dramatically improved. Some people/properties will see negative impact which (unfortunately) cannot be engineered out. Process: The CAC process is too heavily weighted with only 1 special interest group – St. Luke’s School. The results need to be weighted to give more accurate suggestions to the council. We don’t want this report to be deemed St. Luke’s School vs. the City of Woodburn. Try weighting the responses giving each person only that amount of score they deserve – as it’s towards row data would suggest no build was the recommendation but it is really not necessarily so, the majority of the CAC were imported homeowners and St. Luke’s School only – all are emotionally compromised and not enough unbiased input came to the CAC meetings to balance the issues. 6 3/11/10 Casey Robles First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 1 (with Yew open) Third: Alternative 2 (north on 5th) I support no build because I live there and don’t see any way we can move any time soon. I think it is going to limit play space for children and create much traffic that will actually be dangerous for the kids that are used to playing there. I think cars will short cut through 5th and traffic speeds will be dangerously high. Two way street must have Yew open. Process: Good – at least my voice was heard here in the room. Hope we come up with something that works for everyone. 3/11/10 Peppi Kosikowski First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 2 Third: Alternative 1 This will change the area where I live in a very negative way. 3/11/10 Jerry Ambris First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 2 Third: Alternative 1 No build is my recommendation due to safety, distractions and parking. If traffic is extended to Morrison (needs resurfacing), 3rd Street (needs widening or other side streets (Fir and High need resurfacing)) – this could be a disaster. House owners do not want this, the school does not want this, and the church does not want this. During the CAC meetings the City has failed to convince me that the gains are great enough to disrupt community, families and church goers. Process: This process should be utilized as often as possible to hear the voice of those most and first impacted. 7 3/11/10 Dave Christoff First: Alternative 3 Second: Alternative 1 Third: Alternative 2 I initially felt and still do that the most benefitted residents of W.D. were those living in and involved in the neighborhood. However, given the dialog from those most impacted and most vested. It is too emotional an issue and for that reason it would be politically impractical. It would be better to let the system fail than attempt to proceed with this. 1. Because not enough of the entire city benefits 2. Too much fear of the unknown 3. Too complex to grasp until it becomes more obvious in the future Since those impacted the most do not perceive the value, I strongly recommend NO BUILD. APPENDIX D PAVEMENT DESIGN REPORT 09-1094.207 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Appendix D -Pavement Design Report.doc APPENDIX D PAVEMENT DESIGN REPORT The following Pavement Design Report was prepared by GRI, a geotechnical engineering firm serving as a subconsultant to Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. This report includes information obtained through on-site geotechnical investigations and provides recommendations regarding earthwork and the pavement section for 5th Street. Boring information in this report is planned to also be used to design signal pole foundations during final design. March 30, 2010 5066 PAVEMENT RPT Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. 121 SW Salmon Street, Suite 900 Portland, OR 97204 Attention: Kevin Thelin, PE, and Gabe Crop, PE SUBJECT: Pavement Investigation 5th Street Improvements, Including Extension of Yew Street Between 3rd and 5th Streets Woodburn, Oregon At your request, GRI has conducted a pavement investigation for the proposed improvements to 5th Street between Harrison Street and OR Highway 214, and the extension of Yew Street between 3rd and 5th streets in Woodburn, Oregon. The general location of the improvement area is shown on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1. The investigation was conducted to evaluate subsurface and subgrade materials and conditions at the site and develop recommendations for earthwork and pavement design. The investigation included subsurface explorations, laboratory testing, and engineering analyses. This report describes the work accomplished and provides our conclusions and recommendations for use in the design and construction of the improvements. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of improvements to 5th Street between Harrison Street and OR Highway 214, about 1,800 ft length of roadway. The approximate location of the improvements is shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. The current preferred alternative includes opening the entire alignment for two-way traffic. The 5th Street project includes new asphaltic-concrete (AC) pavements; landscaping; signage, including new signalization for the intersection of OR Highway 214, 5th Street, and Meridian Drive; and storm sewer lines. Reconstruction and overlay were both considered for the rehabilitation of the 5th Street pavement. It is anticipated that minor grading will be required to establish site grades, and the maximum depth of trenches for the storm sewer will be less than about 5 ft. We understand 5th Street is currently classified by the City of Woodburn (City) as a local residential street and, following the planned improvements, will be classified as an access street. Traffic information provided by Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. (MSA) indicates 5th Street will be subjected to a maximum of 2,700 ADT, which is expected to decrease after the construction of improvements to the Interstate 5 /OR Highway 214 interchange and widening of OR Highway 214. For the purpose of design, it is assumed the traffic is relatively evenly split in the two directions of traffic on 5th Street, with the design lane subjected to 1,350 ADT. It is also estimated that truck traffic will be comprised of 2% medium-size (2-axle, 6-tire) trucks, 1% transit buses, and 4% school buses. Since it is not known when the improvements to the Interstate 5 /OR Highway 214 interchange and widening of OR Highway 214 will occur, 0% growth of traffic is assumed over the 20-year design life of the pavement. 2 For long-term planning purposes, consideration is also being given to developing 3rd and 5th streets as a couplet with Yew Street as a connector between the two roadways. If developed as a couplet, 3rd and 5th streets would be developed as one-way, one-lane streets subjected to the above traffic; Yew Street would be developed as one-way, one-lane or a two-way street. SITE DESCRIPTION Topography and Surface Conditions Visual observations indicate 5th Street, between OR Highway 214 and the undeveloped segment, slopes gently downward toward the highway. The remaining portion of 5th Street slopes gently downward toward the intersection of 5th and High streets. The AC pavement extending from OR Highway 214 to the undeveloped segment, which has a length of about 350 ft, is in good condition. No obvious indications of cracking and/or rutting were observed. Information provided by the City to MSA indicates this portion of 5th Street was constructed at about the same time the adjacent apartment complex was completed. The City has as-built plans for the apartment complex dated March 1, 1994, and estimates this segment of 5th Street was likely constructed in 1993 or 1994. The undeveloped segment of 5th Street is about 50 ft long and vegetated with grass and scattered shrubs. South of the undeveloped segment, the existing AC pavements of 5th Street and the intersection of 3rd and Yew streets have numerous cracks and areas of alligator cracking, and are generally in poor condition. The potential future extension of Yew Street is presently developed with single-and multifamily housing and associated landscaping. Geology Geologic units in the vicinity of the project site consist of Pleistocene-age lacustrine deposits (Willamette Silt Formation) overlying the Troutdale Formation. Willamette Silt generally consists of sandy and clayey silt soils that are up to 100 ft thick. The silt often contains interbedded layers of sand. The Troutdale Formation in this area can consist of alternating layers of clay, silt, sand and gravel, and can locally contain boulders. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS General Subsurface and subgrade materials and conditions at the site were investigated on December 16, 2009, with seven borings, designated B-1 through B-7. The borings were advanced to depths of 6.5 to 21.5 ft at the locations shown on Figure 2. The field exploration and laboratory testing programs completed for this study are discussed in detail in Appendix A. Logs of the borings are shown on Figures 1A through 7A. The terms used to describe the soils encountered in the borings are defined in Table 1A. Soils For the purpose of discussion, the materials disclosed by the borings have been grouped into the following categories based on their physical characteristics and engineering properties. Listed as they were encountered from the ground surface downward, the units are: 1. PAVEMENT 2. FILL 3. SILT 3 1. PAVEMENT. AC pavement was encountered at the ground surface in all of the borings. The thickness of the AC ranges from about 1.5 to 4 in., and is typically 2.5 to 3 in. The pavement in borings B-1 and B-2 was cored to permit recovery of samples of the AC for evaluation and consideration of overlay design. The AC is underlain by crushed rock base (CRB), typically of 1-in.-minus gradation, and ranging from 4.5 to 12.5 in. thick. Our observations at the time of drilling indicate the CRB in borings B-1 and B-2, which underlies the portion of 5th Street that is in good condition, contains a trace of fines (silt and clay). In the remaining borings, the fines content of the CRB is variable, ranging from a trace to some fines. 2. FILL. Fill was encountered beneath the pavement in borings B-5 and B-6. The fill in boring B-5 extends to a depth of about 3.5 ft and consists of dark brown silt containing a trace of clay and fine-grained sand. A Torvane shear strength value of 0.20 tsf indicates the relative consistency of the silt fill is soft. The fill in boring B-6 extends to a depth of about 2.6 ft and consists of reddish-brown silt that contains a trace of finegrained sand. Our observations of the action of the drill rig at the time of the exploration indicate the relative consistency of the silt fill is typically medium stiff. 3. SILT. Silt was encountered beneath the pavement and fill in all of the borings, which were terminated in the silt at depths of 6.5 to 21.5 ft. The silt is typically brown to brown mottled rust and/or gray, and contains varying percentages of fine-grained sand, generally ranging from none to sandy, and a trace of clay. N-values of 4 to 15 blows/ft and Torvane shear strengths of 0.15 to 0.30 tsf indicate the relative consistency of the silt ranges from soft to stiff, and is typically medium stiff to stiff. The natural moisture content of the silt ranges from about 30 to 42%. The dry unit weight of four undisturbed samples of silt obtained from depths of 3.5 to 10.4 ft ranges from about 84 to 89 pcf at moisture contents of about 26 to 37%. Atterberg limits testing of three samples of the silt indicates the material is of low plasticity, see Figure 8A. Groundwater We anticipate the groundwater level at the site will fluctuate in response to precipitation and may approach the ground surface during the wet, winter months. Groundwater was encountered during drilling at depths of 12 and 9.5 ft in borings B-1 and B-5, respectively, and was not encountered in borings B-2 through B-4, B-6, and B-7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS General Borings made for this investigation and our observations at the site indicate the pavement of 5th Street, from OR Highway 214 extending about 350 ft south to the undeveloped segment, is in good condition. South of the undeveloped segment to Harrison Street, and at the intersection of 3rd and Yew streets, the existing pavement is in poor condition. A 1.5-to 2.5-ft thickness of fill was encountered beneath the pavement in two borings in the southern portion of 5th Street. The borings disclosed silt soils beneath the pavement and fill to a depth of at least 21.5 ft, the maximum depth explored. Groundwater was encountered in two of the borings at depths of 9.5 and 12 ft. We anticipate that groundwater levels at the site may approach the ground surface during periods of intense or prolonged precipitation. In our opinion, the existing AC-paved roadway surface on 5th Street, extending from OR Highway 214 to the undeveloped segment, can be suitably reconditioned with an AC overlay or, alternatively, replaced with new AC over the existing CRB, provided the additional thickness can be accommodated. The 4 remaining AC pavement on 5th Street, within the project limits, is in poor condition and should be reconstructed. In addition, the CRB underlying the poor-condition AC contains a variable content of fines and is likely not suitable for re-use as CRB beneath new pavements. The primary soils and subgrade considerations associated with construction of the proposed improvements are the presence of moisture-sensitive silt soils and the potential for high groundwater levels. The following sections of this report provide our conclusions and recommendations concerning design and construction of the project. Site Preparation and Grading The ground surface within the limits of new pavement and areas to be filled should be stripped of vegetation, surface organics, and loose surface soils. Stripping should generally be accomplished to remove the heavily rooted zone of the vegetation, which will likely be to a depth of about 3 to 4 in. in the grassy areas. Greater or lesser amounts of stripping may be required locally. In our opinion, the loose, organic surface soils should be removed from the site or stockpiled on site for use in landscaped areas. Where the existing roadway will be reconstructed, the existing AC should be removed. In our opinion, the removed AC can be recycled by grinding or crushing to a maximum nominal size of 11/2 in. and used in pavement areas as structural fill, trench backfill, or a substitution for a portion of the CRB. Consideration should be given to using portions of the existing AC-paved areas as a temporary work pad or haul road during construction. The existing CRB beneath areas of poor-condition AC may be contaminated with fines, making it unacceptable for reuse as CRB. However, it may be possible to re-use the material as general structural fill. Following removal of the AC, the existing CRB should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer, and the contaminated CRB removed to the depth of subgrade elevation for the new pavement. Following stripping or excavation to subgrade level within pavement areas and areas to receive fill, the subgrade should be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer. Proof rolling with a loaded 10cy dump truck may be part of the evaluation. Soft areas or unsuitable materials should be overexcavated and replaced with structural fill as described below. In particular, areas of possible uncontrolled fill exposed during site preparation should be evaluated, which may include shallow test pits. During and following stripping and excavation, the contractor must use care to protect the underlying silt subgrade from disturbance by construction traffic. The fine-grained soils disclosed by the subsurface investigation are sensitive to moisture content. Typically, when these soils are in excess of 4 to 5% of their optimum moisture content, they become weak, unstable, and softened when subjected to construction traffic. For this reason, site preparation and earthwork will be more straightforward and less costly if accomplished during the dry, summer months, typically extending from mid-May to mid-October. It has been our experience that even during periods of extended warm, dry weather, the moisture content of the soils below existing pavement will remain relatively unchanged and well above the optimum moisture content. As shown on the boring logs, the in situ moisture content of the silt soils is typically 30 to 45%. The optimum moisture content of the on-site silt soils is anticipated to be about 20%. As a result, even during warm, dry, favorable working conditions, the earthwork contractor will need to exercise care to avoid disturbance and softening of the subgrade. 5 If construction is to proceed during the wet months of the year, we recommend that all construction traffic be limited to movement on granular work pads. We further recommend that any excavation during wet ground conditions be performed using large hydraulic excavators (backhoes), in lieu of scrapers and/or bulldozers, to prevent softening of the subgrade soils. Also, the contractor should plan the earthwork operations such that construction equipment, i.e., bulldozers, dump trucks, etc., does not traffic the finegrained subgrade soils. This will require the placement of imported granular fill for a working pad as the earthwork progresses. If the subgrade is disturbed during construction, soft, disturbed soils should be overexcavated to firm soil and backfilled with granular structural fill. In our opinion, a 12-in.-thick granular work pad should be sufficient to prevent disturbance of the subgrade by lighter construction equipment and limited traffic by dump trucks. Haul roads and other high-density traffic areas will require an 18-to 24-in. thickness of fragmental rock to reduce the risk of subgrade deterioration. Any subgrade soils disturbed by construction activity should be overexcavated to firm soil and backfilled with structural fill placed and compacted as recommended in the following section. Geotextile fabrics may be used between the granular work pad materials and the underlying fine-grained subgrade soils as a separation filter to prevent the movement of fines into the fragmental rock. Use of these fabrics may improve haul road performance and reduce maintenance, particularly during wet-weather conditions. Permanent cut and fill slopes should be no steeper than 2H:1V. Temporary cut and fill slopes should be constructed at 1H:1V, or flatter. Structural Fill We understand the maximum thickness of compacted structural fills will be less than a few feet. All fill placed beneath pavement, sidewalk areas, and other structures, should be compacted as structural fill. Onsite or imported organic-free soils approved by the geotechnical engineer may be used to construct structural fills. However, on-site and imported silt soils are sensitive to moisture content and can be placed and compacted as structural fill only during dry conditions when the moisture content can be controlled. It should be noted that any existing CRB to be reused as structural fill and containing more than about 15% fines will behave more like a fine-grained soil, and its re-use will likely be limited to the drier months of the year. During the wet, winter and spring months, fills should be constructed using relatively clean, granular materials, or recycled AC. All structural fills should extend a minimum horizontal distance of 2 ft beyond the edge of pavement and sidewalk areas. Slopes constructed of structural fill should be no steeper than 2H:1V. We anticipate the settlement due to placement of fills up to approximately 2 to 3 ft thick, placed in accordance with our recommendations, will be about 1/2 in. The majority of the settlement will occur during placement of the fill. Approved, organic-free, fine-grained soils used to construct structural fills should be placed in 9-in.-thick lifts (loose) and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698. In our opinion, the moisture content of fine-grained soils used to construct structural fill should be controlled to within 3% of optimum at the time of compaction. Some aeration and drying of the on-site, fine-grained soils may be required to achieve the compaction criteria. We recommend that fill placed in landscaped areas be compacted to about 88 to 90% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698. We anticipate that segmented pad rollers will be most effective for compacting fine-grained (silt) soils. 6 Granular material used to construct structural fills or work pads during wet weather can consist of sand, sandy gravel, fragmental rock, or recycled AC or concrete, with a maximum size of up to about 2 in. with not more than about 5% passing the No. 200 sieve (washed analysis). The first lift of granular fill material placed over the silt subgrade should be in the range of 12 to 18 in. thick (loose). Subsequent lifts should be placed 12 in. thick (loose). Granular material less than 2-in. maximum size should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698. Coarse granular material should be compacted until well keyed. Generally, at least four passes with a medium-weight, smooth-drum vibratory roller are required to achieve compaction. Recycled, on-site or imported AC grindings or crushed concrete with a maximum nominal size of about 11/2 in. may be used as structural fill, trench backfill, or for a portion of the granular base course section in pavement areas. Utilities Utilities In our opinion, there are three major considerations in the design and construction of new utilities. 1) Provide stable excavation side slopes or support for trench sidewalls to minimize loss of ground. 2) Provide a safe working environment during construction. 3) Minimize post-construction settlement of the utility and ground surface. The method of excavation and design of trench support are the responsibility of the contractor and subject to applicable local, state, and federal safety regulation, including the current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards. The means, methods, and sequencing of construction operations and site safety are also the responsibility of the contractor. The information provided below is for the use of our client and should not be interpreted to mean that we are assuming responsibility for the contractor’s actions or site safety. According to the most recent OSHA regulations, the majority of the fine-grained soils materials encountered within the explorations may be classified as Type C. In our opinion, trenches less than 4 ft deep may be cut vertically and left unsupported during the normal construction sequence, i.e., assuming trenches are excavated and backfilled in the shortest possible sequence, and excavations are not allowed to remain open longer than 8 hrs. Excavations more than 4 ft deep should be laterally supported or alternatively provided with stable side slopes of 1H:1V or flatter. In our opinion, adequate lateral support may be provided by common methods, such as the use of a trench shield or hydraulic shoring systems. If utility construction is performed during the wetter months of the year or if significant groundwater seepage is encountered during construction, some overexcavation of the trench bottom may be necessary to permit the installation of stabilization material. Clean, 4-in.-minus crushed rock is typically used for this purpose. The actual required depth of overexcavation will depend on the contractor’s method of operation and the conditions conditions encountered, and should be established at the time of construction. We anticipate that any groundwater inflow encountered can be controlled by pumping from sumps. All backfill placed in utility trench excavations within the limits of pavement, sidewalk areas, or other structures, should consist of granular material, such as sand, sand and gravel, crushed rock, or recycled AC or crushed concrete, with a maximum size of up to 2 in. and not more than about 8% passing the No. 200 7 sieve (washed analysis). The granular backfill should be placed in lifts and compacted using vibratory compactors or tamping units to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698. Flooding or jetting to compact the backfill should not be permitted. Pavements We understand that AC pavement will be used for the roadway improvements of this project. The pavement is to have a design life of 20 years. The following sections provide a discussion of our assumptions and methodology for estimation of traffic over the design life and recommended pavement designs. The recommended pavement sections provided below are based on the assumption that all workmanship and materials will conform to the applicable specifications used by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Traffic. We understand 5th Street is presently classified as a local residential street and, following the planned improvements, will be classified as an access street. Studies conducted for this project indicate 5th Street Street will be subjected to a maximum of 2,700 ADT, which is expected to decrease after the construction of improvements to the Interstate 5 /OR Highway 214 interchange and widening of OR Highway 214. For the purpose of design, it is assumed the traffic is relatively evenly split in the two directions of traffic, with the design lane subjected to 1,350 ADT. It is also estimated that truck traffic will be comprised of 2% medium-size (2-axle, 6-tire) trucks, 1% transit buses, and 4% school buses. Since it is not known when the improvements to the Interstate 5 /OR Highway 214 interchange and widening of OR Highway 214 will occur, 0% growth of traffic was assumed over the 20-year design life of the pavement. Applying conversion factors to the truck traffic, we estimate the pavement will be subjected to a one-way truck volume of about 350,000 ESALs. Flexible Pavement Design Studies. Flexible pavement design studies were conducted using the results of our investigation, our experience, and the traffic information information developed in the section above. The resilient modulus for the existing base course and silty subgrade soils were estimated on the basis of subsurface conditions disclosed in the borings and our experience with similar soils. The following factors were used in the AASHTO method of pavement thickness design. INPUT FACTORS FOR THE AASHTO METHOD OF PAVEMENT THICKNESS DESIGN Design Parameter Symbol Value Reliability Factor R(%) 80 Overall Standard Deviation S? 0.45 Traffic W18 (millions) 0.35 Resilient Modulus Crushed Rock Base Silt Subgrade MR 20,000 psi 5,000 psi Design Serviceability Loss ? psi 1.7 Asphalt Factor New AC Existing AC a1 0.42 0.34 Granular Base Factor a2 0.10 Drainage Factor m2 1.0 8 The results of our analyses indicate the minimum new pavement section to support the 20-year design traffic on 5th Street as a two-way street or one-lane, one-way couplet will be 4.5 in. of AC over 14 in. of aggregate base. However, the City’s minimum pavement section for an access street requires a minimum 5-in. thickness of AC. In this regard, we recommend 5th Street be reconstructed with a pavement section of 5 in. of AC over 12 in. CRB. In our opinion, the existing pavement of 5th Street, between OR Highway 214 and the dead end, can also be rehabilitated with an overlay of new AC if the additional thickness can be accommodated. Our review of the existing pavement condition at the northern end of 5th Street indicates the existing pavement has an effective AC thickness (i.e., equivalent thickness to new AC) of about 2.5 in. and could be improved with a 2.5 in. overlay of new AC to provide support for the design traffic. Alternatively, the 3-in. thickness of existing AC can be removed and replaced with a a 5 in. thickness of new AC over 12 in. of CRB. The existing CRB can remain in place if grades can be raised 2 in. For the purpose of long-term planning, we also evaluated the pavement design for Yew Street. If Yew Street will support two-way local traffic, we recommend it be developed with the City’s minimum pavement section for a local residential street of 4 in. AC over 8 in. of CRB. If Yew Street will serve as a couplet connector between 3rd and 5th streets, we recommend it be developed with the same new pavement section selected for the reconstruction of 5th Street. At the transition between new full-depth pavement and overlay areas, we recommend the final lift of paving be continuous between the two sections; however, the lower layers of new pavement can abut the existing pavement. We recommend the new AC pavement consist of dense-graded hot-mix asphaltic concrete (HMAC). Based on the anticipated design traffic of 350,000 ESALs, we recommend using a mix design level 2 for the design of the AC. The surface wearing course should consist of dense HMAC with a maximum particle size of 1/2 in., placed in a single 2-in.-thick lift. The underlying AC base course(s) should consist of dense AC with a maximum particle size of 1/2 or 3/4 in. placed in lifts of 2 to 3 in. In addition, we recommend the asphalt binder consist of PG 70-22 asphalt. A tack coat should be placed between existing AC and any new AC overlay. We recommend the upper 3 in. of new CRB have a maximum nominal size of about 3/4 in. for leveling and paving purposes, and the remaining thickness of CRB should have a maximum nominal size of 11/2 in. The full thickness of the CRB could consist of 3/4-in.-minus crushed rock. Construction Considerations. Prior to placing CRB, and during favorable weather conditions, subgrade areas should be proof rolled with a fully loaded, 10-cy dump truck. Any soft areas detected by the proof rolling should be overexcavated to firm ground and backfilled with compacted structural fill. In those areas where the pavement will be placed over a granular work pad, it will probably only be necessary to remove the contaminated surface material, i.e., the upper few inches, and replace with crushed rock base course prior to paving. However, prior to any grading or paving, the granular work pad should be proof rolled with a fully loaded, 10-cy dump truck. Any soft and/or wet areas should be overexcavated and backfilled with compacted structural fill. 9 If recycled AC grindings or crushed concrete is used to replace a portion of the CRB, we recommend placing these materials in the lower portion of the base course layer and capping it with at least 4 in. of CRB. Sidewalks Fill placed beneath sidewalks should be placed as compacted structural fill. We recommend that sidewalks be underlain by a 4-to 6-in. thickness of compacted crushed rock. Crushed rock of 3/4-or 1-in.-minus gradation would be suitable for this purpose. Soft areas of subgrade should be repaired prior to placement and compaction of the CRB. Design Review and Construction Services We welcome the opportunity to review and discuss construction plans and specifications for this project as they are being developed. In addition, GRI should be retained to review all geotechnical-related portions of the plans and specifications to evaluate whether they are in conformance with the recommendations provided in our report. In addition, to observe compliance with the intent of our recommendations, design concepts, and the plans and specifications, we are of the opinion that all construction operations dealing with earthwork and pavements should be observed by a GRI representative. Our construction-phase services will allow for timely design changes if site conditions are encountered that are different from those described in our report. If we do not have the opportunity to confirm our interpretations, assumptions, and analyses during construction, we cannot be responsible for the application of our recommendations to subsurface conditions that are different from those described in this report. LIMITATIONS This report has been prepared to aid the project team in the design of the roadway improvements. The scope is limited to the specific project and location described herein, and our description of the project represents our understanding of the significant aspects of the project relevant to the design and construction of the earthwork, and pavements. In the event that any changes in the design and location location of the project elements as outlined in this report are planned, we should be given the opportunity to review the changes and to modify or reaffirm the conclusions and recommendations of this report in writing. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based on the data obtained from the borings made at the locations indicated on Figure 2 and from other sources of information discussed in this report. In the performance of subsurface investigations, specific information is obtained at specific locations at specific times. However, it is acknowledged that variations in soil conditions may exist between exploration locations. This report does not reflect any variations that may occur between these explorations. The nature and extent of variation may not become evident until construction. If, during construction, subsurface conditions different from those encountered in the explorations are observed or encountered, we should be advised at once so that we can observe and review these conditions and reconsider our recommendations where necessary. 10 Submitted for GRI, Dwight J.

The borings were advanced to depths of 6.5 to 21.5 ft with solid-stem auger drilling techniques using a trailer-mounted drill rig provided and operated by Greg Vandehey Soil Sampling of Forest Grove, Oregon. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were typically obtained from the borings at 2.5-to 5-ft intervals of depth. Disturbed samples were obtained using a standard split-spoon sampler. The Standard Penetration Test was conducted at the time of sampling. This test consists of driving a standard split-spoon sampler into the soil a distance of 18 in. using a 140-lb hammer dropped 30 in. The number of blows required to drive the sampler the last 12 in. is known as the Standard Penetration Resistance, or N-value. The N-values provide a measure of the relative density of granular soils, such as sand, and the relative stiffness of cohesive soils, such as silt. Undisturbed samples were obtained by pushing Shelby tubes using the drill rig. All of the split-spoon samples were saved in airtight jars and the Shelby tubes were sealed with plastic caps. All samples were returned to our laboratory for further examination and testing. The pavement in borings B-1 and B-2, located in the northern portion of 5th Street, was initially cored with a 6-in.-diameter core barrel. The pavement cores were labeled in the field and returned to our laboratory for future examination. Logs of the borings are provided on Figures 1A through 7A. Each log provides a descriptive summary of the various types of materials encountered in the borings and notes the depths at which the materials and characteristics of the material change. To the right of the descriptive summary, the numbers and types of samples taken during the drilling operation are indicated. Farther to the right, N-values are shown graphically, along with the natural moisture contents, Torvane shear strength values, and fines content (percent passing No. 200 sieve). The terms used to describe the soils encountered in the borings are defined in Table 1A. LABORATORY TESTING The samples obtained from the borings were examined in our laboratory where the physical characteristics of the samples were noted, and the field classifications were modified where appropriate. At the time of classification, the natural moisture content of each sample was determined. Additional testing included determinations of undisturbed unit weight, washed sieve analyses, Torvane shear strength, and Atterberg limits determinations. The following sections describe the testing program in more detail. Natural Moisture Content Natural moisture content determinations were made in conformance with ASTM D 2216 and are summarized on Figures 1A through 7A. A-2 Grain Size Analysis (Washed Sieve) Washed sieve analyses were performed on representative samples of the soils to assist in their classification. The test is performed by taking a sample of known dry weight and washing it over a No. 200 sieve. The material retained on the No. 200 sieve is oven-dried and re-weighed, and the percentage of material (by weight) that passed the No. 200 sieve is calculated. The test results are tabulated below.

The Torvane is a hand-held apparatus with vanes that are inserted into the soil. The torque required to fail the soil in shear around the vanes is measured using a calibrated spring. The results of the Torvane shear strength tests are shown on Figures 1A through 7A. Undisturbed Unit Weight The unit weight, or density, of undisturbed soil samples was determined in the laboratory in substantial conformance with ASTM D 2937. Test results and corresponding soil classifications are summarized below.

The test data are used for soil classification purposes and as indicators of engineering properties of the fine-grained soils at the site. The results of the Atterberg limit determinations are shown on the Plasticity Chart, Figure 8A.

APPENDIX E NATURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT 09-1094.207 Design Acceptance Plans Package March 2010 City of Woodburn G:\09\1094\207 DAP\Appendix E -Natural Resources Assessment.doc APPENDIX E NATURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT The following Natural Resources Assessment was developed to address potential natural resource issues with this project if the project moves on to final design and construction. Preliminary research was conducted for the project area and no natural resource issues were identified. Key areas addressed are waters of the State, wetlands, sensitive biological species; or other natural resources protected by federal, state or local regulations. 522 SW Fifth Avenue Suite 820 Portland, OR 97204 503.226.8018 phone 503.226.8017 fax www.adolfson.com memorandum date March 26, 2010 to Kevin Thelin and Gabriel Crop, MSA from Sarah Hartung and John Gordon subject City of Woodburn: Natural Resource Assessment; ESA Project Number D209670.00 1. Introduction In preparation for proposed improvements to North Fifth Street, ESA Adolfson under contract to Murray Smith & Associates (MSA) conducted this assessment of natural resources for the City of Woodburn. The scope of the assessment included a review of available information and an on-site investigation of existing conditions. The purpose of the assessment was to determine the potential for proposed street improvements to affect Waters of the U.S. and/or Waters of the State; sensitive species; or other natural resources protected by federal, state or local regulations. The section of North Fifth Street proposed for improvement is in central Woodburn, Oregon (Figure 1, attached). It extends from Harrison Street at the south end, north east to Newburg Highway (Figure 2, attached). A barricade crosses an un-constructed section of the street one block south of Newburg Highway. An unconstructed section of Yew Street extends from North Fifth Street, east to North Third Street, near the barricade. Between Harrison Street and the barricade, there are no sidewalks, curbs, gutters, or drainage facilities along North Fifth Street. These same appurtenances are present between the barricade and Newburg Highway. Proposed improvements include but are not limited to the following: • Remove the barricade; • Surface the street at the location of the barricade; and • Add sidewalks, curbs, drainage facilities and parking between Harrison Street and the location of the barricade. 2. Methods ESA Adolfson reviewed readily available information to develop preliminary knowledge of natural resources in the project vicinity. Information sources include the following: 2 • Woodburn 7.5 minute series topographic quadrangle (U.S. Geological Survey); • Soil survey data, [Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) 2010]; • Hydric soils of Marion County, Oregon, (NRCS, 2009); • City of Woodburn Local Wetland Inventory [Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL), 2000]; and • Color aerial photographs. A biologist from ESA Adolfson reviewed existing conditions on and near the project site on March 23, 2010. Conditions along North Fifth Street were observed and recorded. A drainage channel in a vacant lot to the east of the site, but west of North Third Street, was observed and traced to determine its downstream connection to other waters. This feature is included in the study because stormwater from proposed improvements would be added to this drainage channel. One wetland determination sample plot was documented adjacent to the drainage channel in the vacant lot. Figures 1 to 5 and photographs 1 to 4 are attached. 3. Findings Waters of the U.S. and Waters of the State North Fifth Street does not have curbs, gutters or street side drainage ditches (except the area between the barricaded north end and Newburg Highway has curbs). Stormwater either runs off the street onto the shoulders, which are variously grassy, gravelly, or landscaped, or is piped off-site to the east from the intersection of Church Street and North Fifth Street. Consequently there are no drainage ditches or any other features that could be considered wetlands or Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State along North Fifth Street. Hydric soils are mapped for a narrow portion of North Fifth Street, but the Local Wetland Inventory does not depict any wetlands on or along North Fifth Street (Figures 3 and 4, attached). Typical conditions are depicted in photographs 1, 2 and 3. Stormwater from the intersection of Church Street and North Fifth Street is piped off-site to the east and daylights through a drainage channel across the vacant lot west of North Third Street. The drainage channel is in the lowest point of the surrounding landscape. Standing water was observed in the bottom of the drainage channel, but the water was not flowing. A potentially jurisdictional wetland is present on both sides of the channel and is characterized in sample plot 1 (data form attached). The wetland is dominated by emergent vegetation and covers approximately 0.1 acre to 0.2 acre. The City would require a 50-foot undisturbed buffer around the wetland. The drainage channel occurs in an area mapped as Woodburn silt loam, a non-hydric soil. The soil mapping appears to be incorrect because a band of Dayton silt loam, a hydric soil that is typically found in low spots, is mapped parallel with and approximately 200 feet south of the drainage channel, which occurs in the lowest point in the landscape. Another possibility is that the channel was re-aligned so that it occurs outside of the band of hydric (Dayton) soil. The path of the drainage channel was traced to determine if it connects with other water features (Figure 5, attached). It flows into a culvert at the west side of North Third Street and resurfaces at the southeast quadrant of the intersection of North Second Street and No Name. It flows east along the south side of No Name, and enters a culvert to pass under North First Street. It resurfaces again on the east side of North First Street, and flows east across the south edge of a grassy lot. This lot may occasionally fill with stormwater, as there was a bare spot in 3 the center that may indicate that flooding delays the growth of grass in this area. In combination, the drainage along No Name and the drainage between First Street and Front Street comprise Wetland MC-4 on the City of Woodburn LWI (Figure 4, attached). Storm catchments at the southeast and northeast corners of this lot pass water into culverts, and under Front North Street, railroad tracks, and Commerce Way north of Hardcastle. It daylights on the east side of Commerce Way, and flows through a channel in an undeveloped swale, eventually merging with another drainage that connects to Mill Creek. This feature is mapped as wetland MC-5 on the City of Woodburn LWI (Figure 4, attached). Biological Resources As depicted in photographs 1 and 2 (attached), the margins of North Fifth Street are graveled, landscaped, or overgrown with more-or-less maintained grass, and in many places are used for parking. There are no undisturbed or relatively natural conditions along the street. Consequently there is no habitat for sensitive species to utilize. The unconstructed section of Yew Street is landscaped. It is being utilized as residential yards. Landscaping includes maintained turf, trees and shrubs. No native species were observed in the landscaping. 4. Conclusions There are no wetlands or other Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State along North Fifth Street within the project area. There are no sensitive species or natural habitat along North Fifth Street within the project area. The drainage channel and wetland in the vacant lot west of North Third Street would likely be considered Waters of the State and regulated by the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL). The City would require a 50-foot undisturbed buffer around the wetland. If no permanent structures or impervious surfaces are proposed within the wetland buffer as part of this project, then no local environmental review would be required. The drainage channel conveys water that eventually flows into Mill Creek. It is unlikely that the drainage channel and associated wetland would be regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) because of a lack of persistent hydrologic connection to navigable waters. The drainage channel does not appear to meet the criteria for conveying relatively permanent flow, which is generally interpreted to be continuous flow for three months. 5. Recommendations If no fill or excavation is proposed in the drainage channel and potential jurisdictional wetland in the vacant lot west of Third Street; and no construction is proposed within 50 feet of the estimated wetland boundaries, then no additional work is recommended. Proposed stormwater treatment for the project would need to be consistent with the City’s Implementation Plan for the Molalla-Pudding River Subbasin Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). The TMDL was approved by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in 2008. The City is a Designated Management Agency (DMA) of the Molalla-Pudding River TMDL and is required to submit an Implementation Plan by June 2010 that addre sses 4 several components of meeting water quality standards in the subbasin including post-construction stormwater management (Nancy Gramlich, DEQ, personal communication, October 23, 2009). Measures may include incorporating Low Impact Development Approaches (LIDA) such as the ones proposed for the North Fifth Street Project. There is no apparent federal nexus for the project, as there is no federal funding nor is a federal permit (Section 404 wetland permit) needed. Therefore there is no apparent need to prepare a No Effect Letter. A NE Letter is a requirement of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which is triggered by a federal nexus (which is lacking in this case). Similarly, the project would not require a State Removal-Fill permit or a Section 404 fill permit as no fill or excavation is proposed in Waters of the State or Waters of the U.S. 6. Limitations Wetland boundaries depicted and described in this memorandum are not delineated wetland boundaries; they are approximate limits of wetland characteristics. This study was conducted in accordance with practices described in the contract scope of work. The results and conclusions of this report represent the authors' best professional judgment, based upon information provided by the project proponent in addition to that obtained during the course of this study. Final wetland jurisdictional determinations can only be made by the Corps and DSL. Wetland boundaries depicted on figures or maps in this report are approximate and are neither accurate enough nor adequately documented to use as delineated wetland boundaries. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. 7. References Gramlich, N. 2009. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Portland Office.

The study area included the public right-of-way along 5th Street between Harrison and Hwy 214 as well as two private properties between 3rd Street and 5th Street where Yew Street was contemplated to be extended. The report indicates that the likelihood of hazardous materials impacting the project is low. DRAFT Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) 5th Street Between Harrison Street and OR Hwy 214, Including an Extension of Yew Street Between 5th Street and 3rd Street March 31, 2010 GRI 9725 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, Suite 140, Beaverton, OR 97005 i Executive Summary GRI, as a subconsultant to Murray Smith and Associates, Inc. (MSA), has conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the 5th Street Improvements area between Harrison Street and OR Hwy 214, including an extension of Yew Street between 5th Street and 3rd Street in Woodburn, Oregon. The purpose of the work was to evaluate potential sources of hazardous substances that could impact the project footprint. The project right-of-way (ROW) extends through a mostly residential area Within the improvement area, utility poles made from creosote-treated timbers support electrical transformers that may contain PCBs. In our opinion, this ESA has not disclosed any other potential for hazardous substance environmental conditions. Based on the findings of this ESA, we do not recommend additional work to evaluate specific hazardous substance environmental conditions. Care should be taken with the treated timbers, electrical transformers, and surface soils around them to minimize worker and environmental impact. The project team should be aware that if work plans require the relocation or removal of utility poles, they should be properly disposed of in accordance with City of Woodburn and DEQ standards. ii Table of Contents 1.

Introduction This ESA was conducted by GRI as a subconsultant to MSA and evaluates the following project: 5th Street Improvements Between Harrison Street and OR Hwy 214, Including an Extension of Yew Street Between 5th Street and 3rd Street The ESA practice is intended primarily as an approach to identifying potential sources of contamination that could impact the Project Site. The work for this ESA report was conducted in accordance with our professional services agreement with MSA and was completed in general conformance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard E 1527-05, except where noted. This report has been prepared in general conformance with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) guidelines for ESA reports. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate identified possible sources of hazardous substances that have the potential to impact the Project Site. Proposed construction activities at the Project Site include the following: ? New pavement, sidewalks, landscaping, and signage ? New storm sewer lines 1.2 Project Site Location As shown on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1 in Appendix A, the Project Site is located in Woodburn, Oregon, in Township 5S, Range 1W, Section 7. The Project Site includes the 5th Street right-of-way (ROW) between Harrison Street to the southwest and OR Highway 214 to the north, and the extension of Yew Street between 5th Street to the northwest and 3rd Street to the southeast. The 5th Street segment is discontinuous and approximately 1,800 ft long, and the Yew Street extension is approximately 380 ft long. The project area is shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2 in Appendix A. 1.3 Limitations This report is presented as current at the time of publication; however, site conditions are subject to change. Based on ASTM standards and our experience, it is our opinion this ESA constitutes appropriate inquiry into the previous uses of the Project Site consistent with good commercial or customary practices. However, no environmental site assessment can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for environmental conditions in connection with a property. Performance of an ESA is intended to reduce but not eliminate uncertainty regarding the existence of environmental conditions in connection with the Project Site. Any questions in this regard should be addressed to MSA and GRI. 2. Site Investigation A Project Site reconnaissance was conducted on March 24, 2010, by Teresa Nowicki, RG, of GRI. The groundlevel reconnaissance consisted of viewing the majority of the Project Site from the 5th Street ROW. The Yew Street extension was viewed from 5th and 3rd streets. Visual reconnaissance of adjoining properties was limited to areas and facilities that were readily observable from the Project Site or from public areas. Site photographs taken during the reconnaissance are provided in Appendix B. 2 2.1 Project Site Observations The Project Site is located in a residential area in Woodburn, Oregon. Fifth Street is a two-lane, asphaltic concrete (AC)-paved street extending from Harrison Street on the southwest to a dead end at the location of the Yew Street extension. From Highway 214, 5th Street extends to the south to this dead end. The Yew Street alignment is not developed between 3rd and 5th streets. The remaining roads in the vicinity are two-lane, stop sign-controlled, asphalt-paved roads. As shown on Figure 2, private residences are located along the northwest side of 5th Street. At the corner of 5th Street and Harrison Street, a school and playground are present along the southeast side of the street. Residences, including multi-family duplexes and small apartment buildings extend from the school to the dead end. There are no sidewalks between Harrison Street and the dead end. A narrow shoulder is present between the poorly maintained asphalt pavement and the privately maintained landscaping. The street ROW extends into the landscaped areas between the residences and the pavement. A church and apartment complex are present at the corner of Highway 214 and 5th Street. In this area, 5th Street has sidewalks and curbs and has been improved more recently. The Yew Street extension is located on a lawn area between two residences along 3rd Street and the parking lot of a church at the dead end on the 5th Street side. A utility pole is located on 3rd Street at the approximate location of the proposed Yew Street extension. Utilities in the surrounding areas include overhead and underground electric lines, street lighting, and natural gas, telecommunication, water, and sewer lines. Overhead street lighting, power transformers, and power lines were observed along 5th Street north of Harrison Street. Obvious indications of transformer leakage or spillage were not observed. Seven borings were completed within the Project Site as part of a concurrent geotechnical investigation by GRI. Obvious indications of soil contamination were not observed in the borings. 2.2 Physical Setting According to the U.S. Geological Survey topographic map (1956, photo-revised 1985) of the Woodburn, Oregon, quadrangle, the ground surface throughout the project is relatively flat and lies at about elevation 180 ft (NGVD). GRI completed seven borings along the Project Site during a geotechnical investigation in December 2009; and the borings encountered silt soils (GRI, 2010). The site is outside the 500-year floodplain as mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Groundwater was encountered at depths of approximately 10 to 15 ft in boring drilled by GRI. The 1956 (photorevised 1985) USGS topographic map shows an intermittent stream crossing the site and joining Mill Creek east of the Project Site. This stream has since been channelized and buried. Based on the historic perennial stream flow direction, groundwater in the area likely flows to the east. However, local subsurface geologic and manmade features can affect groundwater flow; therefore, this groundwater flow interpretation is only an estimate based on surface observations. 2.3 Potential Sources of Hazardous Substances Within Existing Street Rights-of-Way Table 1 below summarizes potential sources of hazardous substances identified within the existing street rights-ofway. Table 1 does not include private property adjacent to the existing 5th and proposed Yew Street extension rights-of-way. 3 Table 1: Potential Sources of Hazardous Substances Within Existing Street Rights-of-Way Heating oil tanks Y /N Above-ground Storage Tanks Y /N USTs, fill and vent pipes, fuel dispensers Y /N Other hazardous substance containers Y /N Hazardous waste generation Y /N Oil water separators, drywells or floor/storm drains Y /N Septic systems Y /N Stains or odors Y /N Stressed vegetation Y /N Solid waste Y /N Suspect asbestos-containing materials Y /N Suspect lead-based paint Y /N Potential polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) containing equipment Y /N Fluorescent or mercury vapor light bulbs Y /N Treated timbers Y /N Water wells or monitoring wells Y /N Potential PCB-containing equipment, fluorescent or mercury vapor light bulbs, and treated timbers: Treated wood utility poles (timbers) are located throughout the Project Site area.

Potential activities that would impact the utility poles for the project include locations where the pole will be replaced during roadway reconstruction. Where treated timbers are removed, they should be properly disposed of in accordance with City of Woodburn and DEQ standards. Care should be taken with the treated timbers, street lights, and electrical transformers and surface soils around them to minimize worker and environmental impact. 2.4 Potential Sources of Hazardous Substances Adjacent to the Existing Street Rights-of-Way Generalized land use adjacent to the Project Site is shown on Figure 2. The Project Site is in developed residential land. The land use surrounding the Project Site is residential. 2.5 Interview On March 26, 2010, GRI interviewed Matt Gwynn with the City of Woodburn Public Works Department regarding past activities at the Project Site. He has been employed by the City since 1979 and currently serves as Public Works Maintenance and Support Services Manager. The City of Woodburn has an herbicide program using Roundup Roundup to control weeds in curb sides in the general neighborhood. To his knowledge, he was unaware of records of significant chemical spill or environmental incidents that could have affected the Project Site. 4 On March 25, 2010, GRI contacted PGE regarding the pole-mounted utilities in the area. Luann Berkey with PGE stated the pole-mounted lights were high-pressure sodium. Tracy Sanders with PGE stated the transformers at 5th and High streets and at 3rd and Yew streets were manufactured with less than 1 ppm PCB. The transformer at 5th and Fir streets was installed in 1985 and has not been tested for PCBs. It should be noted that the owner of the transformer is typically responsible for any cleanup in the event of a transformer leak of PCB fluid. 3 Historic Records 3.1 Project Site Ownership and Other Owners/Operators We understand the existing street rights-of-way within the Project Site are within Woodburn City limits and are owned by the City of Woodburn. We are not aware of other owners/operators within the Project Site. 3.2 Environmental Liens Environmental liens are an encumbrance upon title to a property to secure the payment of damages or debt arising out of environmental response actions. No environmental liens or property-use limitations were identified in the Environmental FirstSearch (EFS) report for the Project Site referenced in Section 4.1. 3.3 Local Government Records As previously noted, the City of Woodburn does not have records regarding hazardous materials for the Project Site. 3.4 Aerial Photographs GRI reviewed aerial photographs dated 1936, 1944, 1958, 1963, 1970, 1980, 1990, 1996, and 2005 that were obtained from the University of Oregon. Land uses based on interpretation of the photographs are described below. A copy of the photographs is provided in Appendix B. ? 1939: The Project Site and surrounding areas are used for residential and agricultural purposes. 5th Street appears unpaved and extends from Harrison Street northeast. The road extends to approximately the location of the current dead end separating the two segments of 5th Street. North of 5th Street is a large field. The intermittent stream shown in the USGS topographic map appears as a shallow ditch crossing the Project Site. ? ? 1944: 5th Street appears to have been straightened and paved. No other significant changes were noted within the Project Site or in the surrounding areas. ? 1958: The house to the east of the intersection of 5th and Harrison streets has been replaced by a long, low building that appears to be the school that now occupies that lot. Significant residential infill is visible within the Project Site and in the surrounding areas. ? 1963: The vacant lot to the northeast of the school appears to be used as a park and has baseball diamonds. Additional residential infill is visible within the Project site and surrounding area. ? 1970: The roof of the school has been replaced. No other significant changes are visible within the Project Site or the surrounding area. ? 1980: Highway 214 north of the Project Site is visible. Short amount of pavement and sidewalk of 5th Street is present south of Highway 214. An unpaved road connects both segments of 5th Street. 5 ? 1990: The church located southwest of the intersection of Highway 214 and 5th Street has been built. Apartment blocks and support buildings located southeast of the intersection of Highway 214 and 5th Street have started construction. The unpaved path connecting the segments of 5th Street is now only a walking path. No significant changes are visible in the surrounding area. ? 1996: 5th Street has been extended south from Highway 214 to its current dead end at the location of the planned Yew Street extension. Additional apartment blocks have been built south of Highway 214. No significant changes are visible in the surrounding area. ? 2005: The church located south of Highway 214 has built a parking lot. Additional apartment blocks are present south of Highway 214. No significant changes are visible in the surrounding area. 3.5 Sanborn Maps Sanborn maps for the Project Site were reviewed online through the Multnomah County Library system. Maps from 1906 and 1913 only show the east corner of Harrison and and 5th streets. A residence is located at the intersection. 5th Street is not present on the 1906 map, but is shown on the 1913 map. The 1928 and 1931 maps show the Project Site from Harrison Street to Yew Street. Residences are present along 5th and 3rd streets. 4 Environmental Records 4.1 Federal and State Databases GRI subcontracted with Environmental FirstSearch (EFS) to compile government agency database information for listings of facilities or locations with recognized environmental conditions. The record review was completed on March 23, 2010, and dates of the database updates are included in the report. A copy of the EFS report is provided in Appendix B. The following database listings were compiled by EFS and reviewed by GRI for the listed search distances from the site: Table 2: Database Search Distances and Number of Sites Found Database Record Search Distance, miles Total Sites Found On or Adjoining Project Site US EPA National Priorities List (NPL) 1.0 0 0 US EPA Region 10 Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act List (CERCLIS) 0.50 0 0 US EPA Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) 0.12 0 0 US EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 1.0 0 0 US EPA RCRA waste generators 0.25 3 0 Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Environmental Cleanup Site Information (ECSI) 1.0 4 0 DEQ Solid Waste Landfill (SWL) 0.50 5 0 DEQ registered underground storage tanks (USTs) 0.25 8 0 DEQ leaking USTs 0.50 27 0 DEQ list of reportable spills 0.12 30 0 6 Two residences along 5th Street are listed in the report for leaking USTs. These listings are for heating oil tanks and both have received regulatory closure. Based upon the nature of the listings, in our opinion, the likelihood that these facilities could affect the Project Site is low. Numerous unmapped facilities and spill reports were found for the area near the Project Site and are listed on the EFS report (Appendix B). None of the unmapped facilities was noted in the immediate vicinity of the site. In our opinion, the likelihood that these facilities could affect the Project Site is low. 4.2 Local Records As noted in Section 2.5, we are not aware of local records indicating that environmental incidents could have affected the Project Site. 5 Findings and Conclusions Utility poles made from treated timbers may support PCB-containing electrical transformers. In our opinion, this ESA has not disclosed any other potential for hazardous substance environmental conditions. Based on the findings of this ESA, we do not recommend additional work to evaluate specific hazardous substance environmental conditions. Care should be taken with the treated timbers, electrical transformers, and surface soils around them to minimize worker and environmental impact. The project team should be aware that if work plans require the relocation or removal of utility poles, the poles should be properly disposed of in accordance with City of Woodburn and DEQ standards. 6 Signatures of Environmental Professionals Field Investigation, Records Review, and Interviews were conducted by Teresa A.

The facility currently blends fertilizers, cleans commercial grass seed, and acts as a retail outlet for fertilizers and pesticides. Feed milling operations and grain cleaning and storage have also, in the past, been conducted on-site. Grain handling was discontinued in 1991. Over the years, the site has been the focus of a large number of environmental quality complaints. Early complaints focused on dusts generated from grass-seed handling and cleaning. With the installation of new dust control equipment, most complaints are now directed at noise emissions associated with seed cleaning. The facility may handle as much as 1,450,000 pounds of pesticides each year.

Time of release: unknown MEDIA CONTAMINATION PATHWAYS and OTHER HAZARDS (4/9/93 SMF) Mill Creek lies about 800 feet to the east. An unnamed tributary to Mill Creek lies immediately to the north of the site, with a drainage ditch that lies to the immediate west. Shallow groundwater is available from the Willamette Silt formation. The Willamette Silt formation (75-100 feet thick) overlies the much more productive Troutdale formation. Numerous nearby domestic wells, including City of Woodburn municipal wells, apparently withdraw groundwater from the Troutdale formation. A few nearby domestic wells withdraw groundwater from the Willamette Silt formation. Local static water levels are typically as shallow as 4-25 feet bgs. Static water levels for the Troutdale aquifer suggest a sizable upward flow gradient. Horizontal groundwater flow directions in the vicinity of the site appear quite complex. PROJECT ACTIVITY STATUS PROJECT ISSUES SUMMARY PROJECT TYPE QUARTERLY PLANNING SUMMARY REMEDIAL ACTION (4/9/93 SMF) This site was screened for EPA as part of the EPA/GIS screening process evaluation. Although the facility annually handles a sizable inventory of pesticides and other farm chemicals, and has been in business for over 50 years, the site owner/operator reports that there have been no hazardous material releases at the site. However, based strictly upon the potential threat to nearby residential areas and municipal wells, it is recommended that a low priority Preliminary Assessment be conducted for the site.

Included are Federally-administered lands within a reservation which may or may not be considered part of the reservation. State/Tribal Sites: OR DEQ The DEQ adds sites that are or may be contaminated and may require cleanup to its Environmental Cleanup Site Information system (ECSI), and electronic filing system. DEQ adds these sites to the CRL and Inventory when it determines they meet the respective criteria for listing, described above. Sites may be added to the CRL any time after they are added to the ECSI; they may be added to the Inventory only after a preliminary assessment is completed. Sites added to the Inventory are either already on the CRL or added to both lists at the same time. The CRL, Inventory, and Voluntary Cleanups are all subsets of information derived from the ECSI system. Each of those lists are described below and included in the ECSI information in the First Search reports. ODEQ maintains individual lists for each of these subsets but they have minimal details on sites listed and duplicate the information in ECSI.In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of records, and because the three categories are subsets of ECSI an extensive amount of details on ECSI sites are included in the First Search reports. It is much more comprehensive that what is provided on the individual lists and enables the report user to easily determine if a site falls into multiple categories.To determine which lists a site is affiliated with look at the "Administrative Actions" section in the details of the First Search report for each ECSI site your are concerned with. ST: CONFIRMED RELEASE LIST (CRL: included in ECSI)Oregon legislature has directed the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to implement a comprehensive site discovery program to: A. Identify and assess releases or threats of releases of hazardous substances that may require removal or remedial action; B. Publish two separate lists of facilities, or sites, where releases of hazardous substances have been confirmed: I. A Confirmed Release List (CRL), including all facilities with a confirmed release; and II.an inventory, including facilities with a confirmed release which, in addition, based on a preliminary assessment, DEQ has determined require further investigation, removal, remedial action, or related long-term environmental or institutional controls: and C. Rank facilities on the Inventory based on the long and short-term threats they pose to public health and the environment.ST: ST: VOLUNTARY CLEANUP SUB-PROGRAM (included in ECSI)There are a number of sites on both the CRL and Inventory where responsible parties have entered into an agreement with DEQ to voluntarily address contamination associated with their property. Under DEQ’s Voluntary Cleanup Program, responsible parties may obtain DEQ oversight of assessment and cleanup actions leading to a No Further Action (NFA) determination from the agency. New voluntary cleanup projects are initiated as soon as resources become available. The initial VCS under the Current Program header on the CRL and Inventory is an indicator that the specified site has entered into the Voluntary Cleanup Program. The initials SRS indicate that the specified site may be facing enforcement action through the DEQ Site Response Program.The initials SAS would indicate that the site is still under investigation through the DEQ Site Assessment Program.The CRL and Inventory do not include all sites in Oregon that are in the voluntary cleanup process. At some sites, responsible parties will perform cleanup on their own without DEQ oversight. The requirements for this comprehensive site discovery program are established in Oregon’s Environmental Cleanup Law, ORS 465.215 through 245, and DEQ’s administrative rules, OAR 340-122-410-470.

The six supporting figures show design vehicle (city transit bus and fire-truck) turning movements along with proposed curb radius and striping improvements to allow those turning movements to occur without conflict for the transit bus. 5th Street Extension Project #: 10438.0 March 29, 2010 Page 2 Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon southbound left-turn movement is the critical movement at this intersection. The TSP includes three build alternatives for the City; all three of them include signalizing this intersection while two of them specify making improvements to 5th Street. • Improve north-south connectivity – Within the vicinity of this project, north-south travel under existing conditions is primarily served by the major north-south routes of Settlemeir Avenue-Boones Ferry Road and Front Street. During peak traffic conditions, heavy congestion can be experienced along these north-south routes at the intersections of OR 214, which are located approximately three-quarters of a mile apart from one another. Land uses immediately south of OR 214 are primarily residential, while north of the highway the primary land uses are commercial, office, medical/dental, schools, and recreation (i.e. golf). With the extension of 5th Street and signalization of the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection, the new connection will provide an alternative north-south route to alleviate congestion at the major adjacent intersections and provide a direct connection between land uses north and south of OR 214. • Improve pedestrian safety -OR 214 is currently three lanes near the 5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection and historical pedestrian counts show a moderate level of pedestrians crossing OR 214 at this location. With the future widening of OR 214 from three to five-lanes, crossing OR 214 will become more difficult and potentially less safe due to the longer crossing distance and increased exposure to vehicles. The City’s desire is to improve pedestrian safety at this location in anticipation of the OR 214 widening. • Improve emergency response times and transit access – By connecting 5th Street to OR 214 and providing a signalized intersection with larger curb radii at the corners, this project will provide enhanced emergency vehicle and transit bus access to the neighborhood around 5th Street. As part of the 5th Street extension project, this analysis evaluated the opportunity to install signalized traffic control at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection. As such, this memorandum includes a full signal warrant analysis at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection per ODOT requirements. EXISTING AND FUTURE TRAFFIC VOLUMES ODOT provided existing 16-hour turning movement counts for the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection. ODOT collected the traffic counts on a weekday in May 2007 and July 2009. Year 2010 forecast traffic volumes at this intersection (assuming the 5th Street extension) were developed using existing traffic volumes and traffic model data provided by ODOT’s Transportation Planning and Analysis Unit (TPAU). The forecast traffic volumes were derived by applying the procedure described in National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 255, to the combination of existing traffic counts, 2009 model results, and 2009 model forecasts assuming the 5th Street extension. Appendix “A” includes all traffic volume data used for the signal warrant analysis. 5th Street Extension Project #: 10438.0 March 29, 2010 Page 3 Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS A signal warrant analysis was conducted at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection for existing conditions (without 5th Street extension) and future conditions assuming the 5th Street extension. The signal warrant analysis used the guidelines outlined in the ODOT Traffic Manual (Reference 2) and the ODOT Analysis Procedures Manual (APM) (Reference 3). Based on this procedure, the analysis evaluated the following Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) (Reference 4) signal warrants. • Warrant 1, Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume • Warrant 2, Four-Hour Vehicular Volume • Warrant 3, Peak Hour • Warrant 4, Pedestrian Volume • Warrant 5, School Crossing • Warrant 6, Coordinated Signal System • Warrant 7, Crash Experience • Warrant 8, Roadway Network Detailed descriptions of each signal warrant are provided in the MUTCD, Chapter 4C Traffic Control Signal Needs Studies. Results of the signal warrant analysis identified that the MUTCD Signal Warrants 2 and 3 are met with the 5th Street extension. The following is a summary of each signal warrant. Vehicular Volume Warrants 1, 2, and 3 For the traffic volume-based signal warrants 1, 2, and 3, the analysis was conducted using both the 16-hour traffic volume data and forecast future volumes assuming the 5th Street extension, and a 100-percent reduction of right turns1 from the minor streets (5th Street and Meridian Drive). Table 1 shows the results of the volume-based signal warrants. Table 1 Traffic Volume-Based Signal Warrant Summary Warrant Met? Warrant Existing (without 5th Street extension) 2010 Forecast (with 5th Street extension) Warrant 1 – Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume No No Warrant 2 – Four-Hour Vehicular Volume No Yes Warrant 3 – Peak Hour No Yes A review of the existing 16-hour turning movement volumes and the forecast 2010 traffic volumes at this location indicates that installation of a traffic signal is warranted at at the study intersection 1Based on the 85-percent capacity for the movement being greater than the right-turn volume, per the Analysis Procedures Manual, section 7.4. 5th Street Extension Project #: 10438.0 March 29, 2010 Page 4 Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon based on the forecast four-hour and peak hour vehicular volumes. Appendix “B” includes the signal warrant analysis worksheet. In addition to those warrants based on traffic volume, Signal Warrants 4 through 8 were also reviewed to determine the need for a traffic signal at the study intersection. Warrant 4 -Pedestrian Volume: Based on the traffic volume data collected in May 2007 and July 2009 at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection, average hourly pedestrian volumes observed crossing the major street ranged between 5 and 15, with the peak pedestrian volume being 65. The pedestrian volumes are lower than the thresholds for the pedestrian warrant; therefore, installation of a traffic signal based on pedestrian volume is not warranted. Warrant 5 -School Crossing: Several schools exist within approximately a quarter-mile from the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection. Pedestrian crossings are currently provided near each school at either a signalized intersection (OR 214/Settlemeir Avenue-Boones Ferry Road) or a marked crossing (OR 214/Bulldog Drive). With the planned widening of OR 214 from three to five-lanes, the ability for pedestrians to cross the highway will be impacted; therefore, installation of a traffic signal may be warranted at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection based on future consideration for a school crossing. As previously mentioned, with the future widening of OR 214 from three to five-lanes, crossing OR 214 will become more difficult and potentially less safe due to the longer crossing distance and increased exposure to vehicles. The City’s desire is to improve pedestrian safety at this location in anticipation of the OR 214 widening. Warrant 6 -Coordinated Signal System: The distances to the adjacent traffic signals west and east of the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection are approximately 1,400 feet and 4,900 feet, respectively, and these signals are not currently coordinated; therefore, installation of a traffic signal is not warranted at the intersection based on consideration for a coordinated signal system. Also, based on discussions with ODOT staff a signal progression analysis is not being required as part of this project due to the close proximity of this intersection to only one other existing signalized intersection (OR 214/Settlemeir Avenue-Boones Ferry Road). Typically, a progression analysis is performed for three or more signals as not much benefit comes from coordinating only two signals. 5th Street Extension Project #: 10438.0 March 29, 2010 Page 5 Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon Warrant 7 -Crash Experience: The crash history of the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection was reviewed in an effort to identify potential intersection safety issues. Crash records were obtained from David Evans and Associates’ Revised Technical Memorandum: Existing Transportation Conditions Analysis dated December 2009 (Reference 5) for the five-year period from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2007. Table 2 summarizes the type of crashes and severity at the intersection throughout the analysis period. Table 2 Intersection Crash History (January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2007) Collision Type Severity Intersection Rear-End Turning Angle Other PDO1 Injury Total Crash Rate3 (per MEV2) 5th Street/OR-214 5 2 1 1 5 4 9 0.29 1 PDO – property damage only 2 MEV – million entering vehicles (daily entering vehicles = 10 x Peak Hour Volume) 3 Crash Rate = (Total Crashes) /(4 years x 365 days/year year x daily entering vehicles /1,000,000) As illustrated in Table 2, based on crash experience at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection, installation of a traffic signal is not warranted. Although warrant 7 is not met under the current configuration of 5th Street (i.e. without the 5th Street extension), because the 5th Street extension will alter traffic patterns and likely increase vehicle demand at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection, a review of the existing crash history does not necessarily provide an accurate assessment of future crash patterns assuming the 5th Street extension. Warrant 8 -Roadway Network: According to the City’s TSP, OR 214 is classified as a District Highway and both 5th Street and Meridian Drive are classified as an Access Street. Although the existing entering volume at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection is greater than 1,000 vehicles per hour during the peak hour of a typical weekday, and Warrants 2 and 3 are met under near-term forecast traffic conditions, MUTCD warrant 8 is not met because 5th Street is not considered a “major route” per the characteristics outlined in the MUTCD. However, with the 5th Street extension both 5th Street and Meridian Drive will play a vital role in the overall transportation network as these streets will serve as a potential major north-south route connecting residential land uses south of OR 214 to commercial office and public uses north of OR 214. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis and review of existing and forecast traffic conditions, pedestrian characteristics, and physical characteristics of the intersection, installation of a traffic signal is warranted at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection. 5th Street Extension Project #: 10438.0 March 29, 2010 Page 6 Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon As described above, a signal warrant analysis was conducted for all eight warrants specified in the MUTCD and the ODOT APM to determine the need for a traffic signal installation at the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection. Results of the signal warrant analysis identified that the MUTCD Signal Warrants 2 and 3 are met under future build-out conditions with the 5th Street extension. Furthermore, the City of Woodburn has identified this project as a vital component to improve the overall transportation network as it is needed to 1) accommodate existing and forecast traffic along OR 214 and adjacent intersections; 2) improve north-south connectivity by providing an alternative route to Settlemeir Avenue-Boones Ferry Road, Front Street, and OR 214; 3) improve the pedestrian environment within the project vicinity; and 4) improve emergency response times and transit access. We trust this memorandum adequately addressed the traffic signal warrant analysis for the OR 214/5th Street-Meridian Drive intersection.
