<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Hurst noted the proximity of homes to major traffic corridors. She said <br />that if Game Farm Road is fully developed to three lanes, some homes would be <br />25 feet from the road. Regarding the Pioneer Parkway extension, she said <br />that some houses would have to be moved and some would be as close as 7 feet <br />from the edge of the road, given an 80-foot road bed and a 15-foot utility <br />easement. The right-of-way is only 60 feet, so the difference will be re- <br />moved from residents' yards. Other houses would lose septic tank service. <br /> <br />Ms. Hurst stated that the neighborhood is an asset in a community, and should <br />be protected. She said that that maps are misleading because they do not <br />show the impact on individual residential lots. She thanked the commission <br />for touring the area and hoped that the tour helped in understanding the <br />impact on individual residents. <br /> <br />Ms. Hurst stated that the extension of Pioneer Parkway should not be an eco- <br />nomic development issue because it will not help bring family wage employment <br />to the special-light industrial area. She added that the extension would not <br />provide direct access to downtown. She said that people use 1-5 or 1-105 to <br />get to the downtown area to avoid the numerous traffic signals on Pioneer <br />Parkway. She also stressed that it would not alleviate traffic from Harlow <br />Road or Gateway Road. <br /> <br />Ms. Hurst said that the rationale for extending Pioneer Parkway or expanding <br />Game Farm Road should be based on traffic counts. She said that the trigger <br />concept would provide a mechanism in the plan that would guarantee that roads <br />will not be built until certain conditions are met. The triggers would in- <br />clude levels of service on specific roadways. She described a few of the <br />specific criteria which would warrant extension, expansion, or other road <br />improvements. She also mentioned that traffic counts at intersections should <br />not be used because that measurement is determined by traffic controllers and <br />the management of the signals. <br /> <br />Ms. Hurst said that transportation projects should not be included in <br />TransPlan until the trigger conditions are met. She said that it should be <br />guaranteed that projects will not occur until the trigger conditions are met. <br />She said that the Neighbors maintain that the proposed projects would not be <br />needed within the time frame of the refinement plan. She cited the Land <br />Conservation and Development Commission's (LCDC) Rule 12, calling for a re- <br />duction in traffic. <br /> <br />Ms. Hurst supported the City purchasing the rights-of-way and holding them in <br />public ownership until the highest and best use is determined. She noted <br />that the Willamalane Park and Recreation District has suggested bicycle paths <br />be provided. <br /> <br />Ms. Hurst said that because of the numerous traffic signals on Gateway Road, <br />Game Farm Road is used as a short-cut. She requested that no through trucks <br />be allowed on Game Farm Road. She also requested signs be installed at Gate- <br />way Road and Beltline directing traffic downtown via Harlow Road and Gateway <br />Road. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Joint Elected Officials <br /> <br />January 29, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 7 <br />
