68th and Rock Creek Station
(University of Oregon, 2018) Heese, Brianna; Ribe, Rob
This studio project was organized around the plans for a new TriMet light rail line to Tigard, Tualatin, and Washington County. Though this Southwest Corridor project is still in the early phases of planning and design, the studio collaborated with TriMet planners and the City of Tigard to visualize the future of a site that is likely to become a major station area. In addition, the site is seen as a critical location for a Park and Ride structure as this point marks where traffic into Portland drastically increases. The merge from Pacific Highway (99W) onto Interstate 5 (I-5) lies one-half mile east of the site, and the intersection of the two sees daily congestion and long waiting traffic. This site provides opportunities beyond transit. Older development near the site has potential to be acquired by the project for use as Park & Ride, LRT station, and for potential development of parking and transportation-related uses. Other adjacent sites can be critical purchases for developers given the benefits of the transit station. The City of Tigard supports plans for these future developments that include sustainable transit-oriented design, and restoration of environmental assets, such as Red Rock Creek, as opposed to box commercial development that maintains an auto-oriented focus. Students were tasked with considering the area surrounding the future station site as well as places that may be developed in later phases. The class divided into groups of various sizes, each focusing on a different approach to the transit-oriented development (TOD) proposed around the new TriMet station. Most teams developed 80- and 40-scale designs to create a cohesive master plan across the site before taking a more individual approach on an area with a smaller extent and more detail. Groups included: • “Stormwater Impacts”, Chrissy Stillman This design focuses on Red Rock Creek as its own entity. Chrissy calculated on and off-site storm water entering the creek, its ephemeral flooding zones, and the impacts of more hardscape in the area. Much of her design strategies for reducing the “flashiness” of the creek occurred east of the study area toward I-5. • “68th and Rock Creek Parking Structure”, Kailee Bell This design focuses on the opportunity of an off-site parking structure west of SW 68th Parkway that could provide rooftop amenities and access to a multimodal path along the bridged rail line leading into the station. This alternative solution frees up space for transit-oriented development in the site south of the station by providing at least half the required parking within a reasonable off-site distance. • “Place over Parking”, Thomas Copper and Nick Sund This design focuses on the maximum integration of parking in a high-density transit-oriented development site adjacent to the light rail station. This team focused on TOD1, the second thing likely to be built by developers after the station. • “Positively Tigard” Adam DeHeer and Yumna Imtiaz This team focused on a design of the station and the transit-oriented development with an approach of impact mitigation and sustainability. This group focused on the station plaza and TOD1 and worked closely with Chrissy Stillman for assessing storm water impact of their design proposal. • “Tigard Terraces”, Brianna Heese, Emma Stone, Bocong Li, and Tori Murphy This team focused on the topography of the site to integrate a medium density transit-oriented development. The team proposed designs for the station plaza, TOD1, Red Rock Creek, and TOD2 to meet the long-term phasing goals of TriMet and Tigard. Students generally found the site challenging in terms of balancing programmatic requirements with creating livable and enjoyable spaces. The student designs offer the best attempts to combine the two goals and do so in many ways. The required amount of parking was a challenge, and most students found that the best way to create a functioning transit-oriented development was either to invest in a parking structure below development or to site the parking across SW 68th Parkway. Additionally, if Tigard and TriMet desire sustainable and ecological designs, many teams suggest partnering with developers now and planning for elements to be incorporated. Finally, Red Rock Creek presents a potential flood problem for nearby development. Teams recommend multiple ways to reduce the flashiness of the creek, such as capturing stormwater on site for any new development.

Activating Albany's Downtown Waterfront
(2017) Heese, Brianna; Ribe, Rob
Recently, the City of Albany, Oregon, carried out a major revitalization of its historic First Avenue and restored much business and activity to its downtown district. However, historic Water Avenue, which was a site for logging mills and industry along the riverfront, remains relatively unused. The primary purpose of this road in relation to downtown is its many parking lots and access to the Dave Clark River Trail. The city desires to bring new life to its old industrial waterfront by incorporating Water Avenue back into the heart of downtown. In addition, the city would like to see Monteith Park, a local gem for summer concerts, reconnected with downtown and allied to the new Historic Carousel attraction that will open across the street from the park. With these goals in mind, students were tasked to provide the city with detailed designs that explored multiple options for the future development of Water Avenue and Monteith Park.

Active Transportation Proposals for Portland Neighborhoods
(University of Oregon, 2017) Rose, Mike; Abe, Derek
Under the guidance of instructors Mike Rose and Derek Abe, Portland State University students worked in small groups to create active transportation plans for two sites within TriMet’s Southwest Corridor project area. Barbur Boulevard/19th Street MAX Station Integration The proposed SW Barbur Boulevard/19th Street MAX Station will be located in Southwest Portland as part of the new Southwest Corridor MAX Line connecting Downtown Portland with Tigard and Tualatin. This project focused on three main goals for Tri-Met as they construct a new MAX Station at 19th and Barbur: safety prioritization for bicyclists and pedestrians, improved connectivity for all road users to the new station, and community involvement to help identify solutions for the first two goals. A variety of recommendations are proposed, with a focus on three levels: station level, regional connectivity, and intersection level. Baylor/Clinton Station Pedestrian + Bike Access Plan The Southwest Corridor Light Rail will connect Downtown Portland with Tualatin through the City of Tigard. In coordination with Tri-Met Southwest Corridor Light Rail project, students developed a bicycle and pedestrian station access plan for the proposed Baylor/Clinton MAX station on Southwest 70th Avenue in the Tigard Triangle. The team’s mission in developing this plan is to ensure that all of the existing and future residents, workers, shoppers, students, and other people within this station’s walkshed and bikeshed will be able to get to and from the station on foot and by bicycle along safe, attractive, and comfortable walkways and bikeways. In addition, this plan includes complete bicycle and pedestrian networks for the Tigard Triangle and connections to the bicycle and pedestrian network beyond. The proposed plan recommends near-term and long range phases. Design guides for various roadway types are included, as well as complete street design elements such as bike lane buffers, bus stops, crossing sidewalk extensions, mini-roundabout, Red Rock Creek Trail, street furniture, street lighting, street trees, and a wayfinding program. Eight specific policies and programs are proposed, as well as the cost implications.

Advancing Sustainability by Fostering Civic Engagement
(University of Oregon, 2010) Nelson, Jonathan; Stavitsky, Al; Stavitsky, Al
Sustainability is a fairly understandable concept when dealing with concrete examples. Buildings and urban planning can reach sustainable standards by conserving energy, efficiently handling waste or encouraging residents to utilize smaller carbon footprints. But how does sustainability pertain to communication? At the most basic level, if a community doesn’t communicate, its sustainability is threatened. The City of Salem, like many governmental organizations, seeks better communication with its residents. City leaders met with a graduate-level Journalism class in the University of Oregon’s Strategic Communication program to discuss how to foster more civic engagement between city staff and residents in order to foster a more sustainable community. Specifically, city leaders want to ensure they engage in two-way communication with the broadest audience possible and directed the Strategic Communication class to help achieve that goal. The city also specifically requested that any plans include the use of technology, possibly including podcasts, webinars, and the city’s website.

Applying Business Strategy to Manage Uncertainty
(University of Oregon, 2020) Cohen, Rachel; Cabinte, Ryan
Master of Business Administration (MBA) students from the UO Center for Sustainable Business Practices were tasked with equipping Lane Transit District with a set of financial and business strategy tools to help the agency adapt to a changing mobility landscape and provide the community with a sustainable level of service for the long-term future. Over the course of six months, the team created and presented to LTD leadership a financial projection model and a scenario planning workbook. The team also had the opportunity to test and implement these tools given real issues LTD faced at the time. Armed with a financial baseline that models future transit tax revenues given past revenue growth and independent economic indicators, the team compared “business as usual” projections with shortfalls caused by the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic in Lane County. The team projects a gap of up to $15 million in payroll and self-employment tax revenues through the end of fiscal year 2021. Additionally, the team deployed its scenario planning tool to envision potential opportunities and challenges LTD might face given the outcomes of uncertainties the agencies is facing, including local and regional land use policy, and the extent to which society and individuals embrace the ‘sharing economy’ over ownership of assets. The team found that while density and reduced ownership of assets (especially personal vehicles) are generally more conducive to the traditional fixed-route transit model, LTD has many opportunities to creatively deploy new services, partnerships, and technologies to thrive and serve the Lane County community in any scenario. While these tools have been handed over to LTD leadership alongside presentations and documentation, this report explores insights and lessons learned from the process. Major recommendations include: 1. LTD should diversify its revenue sources and/or assets in order to build a sustainable funding model. 2. LTD should embed long-term thinking into day-to-day operations, empowering team members from operators to the Board of Directors to think about complex issues, communicate uncertainties, and participate in the process.

ARCH 683 Studio Report
(University of Oregon, 2020) Arroyo, Amy; Cartwright, Virginia
Students planned and designed a new downtown “Enoteca,” Italian for a local and regional agricultural library, in Downtown Eugene, Oregon. The Enoteca is a space to educate the public about southern Willamette Valley wine production. In addition to the Enoteca, the program includes a ballroom and a restaurant providing farm-to-table cuisine. In addition to the program, students had the freedom to incorporate any other use they believed would enhance the city of Eugene lifestyle and needs. The location, on Willamette Street, would help enhance the LTD’s Eugene Station environment and expand an active part of Downtown Eugene. The city of Eugene and LTD envision the site ideally including a housing component to increase housing density in Downtown Eugene. Currently, downtown is an “eight to five” business district; increased housing could help improve activity after business hours. Sustainable design solutions were proposed, beginning with: a) Setting a budget and a program. b) Establishing a rule for the design solutions to include the AIA Cote Ten Measures. c) Create a project schedule. A budget is an architect’s road map. The measures are the soul of the project. The schedule is the “road map + soul = profit.”

Assessing Hazard Vulnerability in Troutdale
(University of Oregon, 2021-06) Meng, Sian; Caudill, Lydia; Yang, Yizhao
In this report, students helped address Troutdale’s goal of understanding potential hazards and the social vulnerability associated with such risks. Students collaborated in four research groups to collect data and analyze the potential for hazard susceptibility in the City. Students employed a variety of methods to inform their research including: • Literature review of selected hazard plans • Collecting and analyzing U.S. Census and GIS data • Local resources, including conversations with City planning staff and other professionals in related fields Groups were each assigned one of four hazards to research and analyze: wildfire, flooding, landslide, and earthquake/liquefaction. According to the final comprehensive analysis, it was determined that the city of Troutdale has low hazard susceptibility. Overall: • Wildfire susceptibility is low. However, three main regions of high burn susceptibility exist: along the east of the Sandy Riverfront, near the McMenamins Edgefield/Halsey Corridor, and a free-standing area located in Troutdale’s southeast. • Flood susceptibility is low. Susceptibility is highest near rivers, particularly on the east side of Sandy River and along Beaver Creek. • Landslide susceptibility is low, with the highest susceptibility area on the eastern extremity of Troutdale’s city limits. • Liquefaction susceptibility is relatively high. The high susceptibility area is located on the north side of Troutdale, near the Columbia River, and along the Sandy River and Halsey Street. Despite overall low hazard susceptibility, students established recommendations for increasing citizen resources and infrastructure safety and resilience. Increased education and awareness of the existing hazards can benefit residents ability to prepare for emergencies especially residents in high-hazards areas with greater social vulnerability. Additionally, Troutdale could mitigate and prepare for hazards by identifying funding for building and infrastructure retrofitting, establishing and placing signs that indicate alternate routes for emergencies, and adopting land use codes to limit future development in high hazard areas. Finally, due to growing tourism in the areas located within high hazard areas, Troutdale could benefit from developing a plan to communicate dangers and respond to the needs of visiting tourists in the face of emergencies.

Assessment of MovingAhead’s Potential Funding Options
(University of Oregon, 2020) Burdette, Eric; Lewis, Rebecca
As part of Rebecca Lewis’ Public Budget Administration class, LTD tasked student groups to come up with innovative sources to fund a service expansion named MovingAhead. The MovingAhead package is estimated to have $274 million in capital costs, as well as $4.3 million in increased annual operations costs. In response to this challenge, two groups were tasked with developing funding options for capital costs and two student groups were tasked with finding funding options for operations costs. Each group was expected to have at least three funding packages and have a top recommendation based on evaluative criteria. The capital funding groups both had recommendations based on Urban Renewal Districts, among others. Both operations funding groups mentioned Transportation Utility Fees among their recommendations. The four groups recognize that their recommendations should be researched further by LTD or other entities to ensure that they would be able to implement these funding options. This will also ensure stable and resilient long-term funding.

Autonomous Vehicle Revenue Implications For Portland, Tigard, and Tualatin
(University of Oregon, 2017) Peterson, Justin; Lewis, Rebecca
TriMet is known for maintaining a robust transportation network in the Portland, Oregon region. Beyond the transportation services, TriMet works with municipalities in the region to make the area a better place to live. The Portland region is expected to grow by 400,000 people in the next 20 years. As the community grows, so will the cost of providing efficient transportation services. In order to continue providing the level of service transit riders expect, TriMet and cities served by TriMet need additional and new revenue. The City of Portland is known for innovative transportation strategies and sustainable living. The City of Tigard has the long-term vision of becoming the most walkable city in the nation. The City of Tualatin has the vision of a transportation system that supports mobility, connectivity, and accessibility for all modes. The city goals indicate a shared interest in creating an equitable transportation system. Of particular interest for this report is the rapidly expanding recognition and legislation of the use of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and shared vehicles. As researchers look to the near future of the use of AVs and shared vehicles, policy makers in Portland, Tigard, and Tualatin need to better understand the impact of such technology on not only the environment, but on their respective budgets as well. Interested in all of the possible innovative funding options at the city’s disposal, TriMet partnered with Dr. Rebecca Lewis’ Public Budget Administration class. Graduate students in the School of Planning, Public Policy, and Management collaborated with TriMet and city staff in researching and evaluating several possible funding strategies. Dedicating over 4,000 hours collectively, students worked both individually and as groups. Students were assigned teams based on interests, background, and experience. Ultimately, there were three Portland groups, two Tigard groups, and two Tualatin groups. First, students in each group analyzed what transportation revenue would be impacted by shifts in technology. The transportation revenue impact assumptions were primarily based on an Eno Center for Transportation report (Fagnant and Kockelman, 2015). The revenue impacts helped students understand the municipalities’ transportation funding structure and develop a baseline need as a result of the shifting technology. Next, students worked to develop innovative revenue options to meet the anticipated revenue gap due to shifting technology. Each group created at least three revenue packages, evaluated those packages based on industry criteria, and recommended one of those funding packages. Finally, TriMet was presented with seven different funding packages, three focused on Portland, two on Tigard, and two on Tualatin. This report summarizes the seven funding packages into common recommendation themes. Appendicies A, B, and C contain detailed summaries of current transportation revenue sources, potential new revenue sources, as well as the calculations used to inform each recommendation. The report also includes a compilation of each group’s original full report. The funding packages utilized new funding solutions and traditional sources. The most common new funding solution was a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) tax and the most common traditional revenue source was restructuring or increasing vehicle registration fees. In the future, each city and TriMet will have to address the desires and needs of their citizens, and hopefully these recommendations will provide a useful starting point.

Barbur Boulevard: Designing a Model Civic Corridor for the 21st Century
(University of Oregon, 2017) Elderbrock, Evan; Ribe, Rob; Ko, Yekang
The transit infrastructure along Barbur Boulevard in southwest Portland creates significant safety hazards due to intermittent bicycle lanes and sidewalks. The need for improved pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist safety, as well as increased housing and public transportation options in the Southwest Corridor (SWC) of Portland have spurred an assement of the potential for transit-oriented development along Barbur Boulevard. TriMet has asked students in the Landscape Architecture 4/594 Fall Planning Studio to analyze and experimentally design a 2.5-mile segment of Barbur Boulevard to accommodate a center-running light rail line. This project aims to reduce automobile congestion; improve safety for all modes of transportation; increase connectivity between neighborhoods adjacent to Barbur Boulevard and downtown Portland; promote a diversity of employment opportunities, mixed income housing, and urban amenities; and integrate stormwater facilities, trees, and public green spaces into the streetscape. The 2.5-mile segment of Barbur Boulevard was divided into seven distinct study areas. Threeperson design teams were responsible for conducting in-depth analyses of their study area and producing plans for three standard right-of-way cross sections identified by TriMet with potential for the final street design. Each team was responsible for analyzing current conditions within their site across six broad categories: property viability and future development; urban spatial patterns and boundaries; natural capital and systems; land use; off-arterial vehicular circulation; and pedestrian and bicycle safety and circulation. Each of these six categories required multiple analyses and methodological approaches. Analysis maps were used extensively to inform street design and planning decisions throughout the studio. In addition, each team created projections for building footprints and massing, land use classifications, and potential timeframe for redevelopment to accompany their finalized street design plans.

Bicycle Transportation in Medford: Connections to the Bear Creek Greenway
(University of Oregon, 2014) Schlossberg, Marc; Peizer, Ross; Fiorelli, Thomas;
Under the direction of Professor Marc Schlossberg, 42 students in the University of Oregon Department of Planning, Public Policy, and Management’s Bicycle Transportation course reviewed and examined critical elements of an urban bikeway system and proposed projects that would encourage and increase bicycle ridership and safety in Medford. This course was offered to upper-level undergraduates and graduate students from a variety of academic disciplines. Course projects were generally chosen by surveying elements of Medford’s environment including: • Existing and proposed bike lanes • Automobile traffic volumes on all roads • Residential population density in Medford • Connecting neighborhoods, schools, parks, and destinations. One of the city’s primary goals was to think about ways to build upon and highlight the amenity of the Bear Creek Greenway. The Bear Creek Greenway provides Medford an excellent source for bicycling and walking, but routes connecting to and from the greenway into neighborhoods, business districts, or recreation areas around Medford are lacking. Students focused on various areas surrounding the Bear Creek Greenway and researched potential recommendations for enhancing its use and connections between destinations. Projects developed for this course considered current bicycle parking capacity, average daily traffic (ADT) counts, neighborhood demographics, local economy, and nearby destinations. Students collaborated with city staff to identify locations where the Greenway intersects key Medford streets. This report outlines ways to better utilize this asset. Some students introduce the concept of a neighborhood greenway and different strategies developed to better connect schools and neighborhoods safely. Some present a set of approaches that enable bicycle riders to share the road safely with automobile traffic. Other students focus on non-design bicycle and active transportation related projects including education campaigns, wayfinding and branding, and other forms of encouragement, or programs that can increase community awareness and participation in cycling. Recommendations vary from easily implemented changes that complement existing infrastructure, to more challenging road redesigns and treatments. Consistent across course projects, however, was a focus on connectivity throughout Medford that can provide citizens of all ages and abilities with bicycle access to this source of untapped potential from both arterial and neighborhood streets.

Bicycle Transportation in the City of Albany
(2017) McNeill, Mikaila; Schlossberg, Marc
This report documents the ideas, methodologies, and proposals produced by students of the University of Oregon’s Bicycle Transportation class for the City of Albany, Oregon. Albany saw much of its growth during a period when the individual freedom given by automobiles was considered the main viable form of transportation, and all other forms of transportation were shifted away from mainstream society. Like other small cities, Albany developed as an auto-centric highway town. For this reason, the development of infrastructure has been based largely on the automobile as the primary mode of transportation.

Bicycle Transportation in the City of Troutdale
(University of Oregon, 2021-06) Gisler, Abby; Little, Daniel; Schlossberg, Marc
In this report, students critically examined potential redesigns to existing infrastructure with the intent of promoting higher rates of bicycle ridership in Troutdale. Students worked in small groups to create recommendations, using case studies of other cities and small towns, including both domestic and international examples. Teams focused on the following projects: • Redesigning Main Street in downtown Troutdale as a safe cycling route connecting a potential bike shop to the rest of Troutdale. This includes creating new protected bike lanes downtown, reimagining parking on Main Street, incentivizing the creation of a bike shop in the old City Hall location, and increasing bike parking capacity downtown. • Designing safe cycling infrastructure along Halsey Street to promote access to McMenamins Edgefield via bike, including the establishment of an off-street path adjacent to Halsey Street and a neighborhood park. • Redesigning 2nd Street to create a safe neighborhood bicycling corridor, including the development of bioswales, green-painted bike lanes, and other strategies that slow car traffic and encourage cycling on the route. • Connecting Glenn Otto Park to downtown via bike and promoting cycling at Glenn Otto Park. • Promoting Troutdale as the gateway to the 40-Mile Loop. • Planning events and cultural initiatives that instill a sense of pride in Troutdale as a regional leader in cycling. The resulting proposals utilize ideas from all groups and are categorized into ‘Gold,’ ‘Silver,’ and ‘Bronze’ tiers based on the strength of the proposal in improving bicycle infrastructure and the level of investment required for implementation.
