WHEREAS, the Office of Transportation was directed by the City Council to initiate the Columbia Corridor Transportation Study (CCTS) to determine a multi-modal transportation strategy to address the different needs of the Corridor, and

 

WHEREAS, the issue to be addressed by the CCTS included heavy trucks competing with recreational traffic;  volume and speed of traffic, poor access to/from industrial businesses to the I-5 and I-205 freeways and access to the growing Portland International Center and Airport;  and

 

WHEREAS, the CCTS implementation strategy provides for transportation improvements on all levels; Corridor-wide transit improvements; traffic calming along NE Marine Drive; utilization of underused capacity for freight at the approaches to both I-205 and I-5 on NE Columbia Boulevard and NE Lombard Street; bicycle improvements on NE Marine Drive; and pedestrian improvements as a part of each of the projects to be undertaken;  and

WHEREAS, adoption of this Study will allow capital dollars identified in the Office of Transportation's Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 1999-2000 to be used to initiate projects identified in the CCTS;
