Comments for “Transportation System Plan Update”

With the addition of restaurants (Mod Pizza, etc) in this business area, combined with the existing day care and other businesses has added to the number of cars entering and exiting to Cornell. When exiting, the proximity of the western lot entrance is too close to Brookwood for easy exits so many cars drive to the eastern exit at the traffic light, which takes them across the front of the daycare center. At daycare drop off and pickup peak times this traffic situation is very hazardous, especially given the number of kids in the mix.
Adding to the problem, the eastern exit from this lot is very steep and requires cars to go very slow when exiting. The complexity and slow pace of cars leaving creates frustration in some drivers who then dart and dash around trying to get out.
All of this is a serious accident waiting to happen. At the least, the grade of the lot entries can be addressed to allow cars to flow out better. The light timing should be examined as well to allow the lot to empty and perhaps limiting exits to right turns only from both lot accesses may speed things up by preventing cross traffic on Cornell.

This intersection should not have a flashing left turn signal but a solid green instead. Too many drivers ignore the flashing and it makes it unsafe for pedestrians.
-
Speed limit is 25. 85% of cars were going 38 or faster in last traffic survey. No sidewalks or shoulder. Needs speed enforcement!
-
It feel like most people traveling down River Road (and most other "rural" roads with unmarked speed zones) don't know that the speed limit changes. It would be of great help to everyone commuting to have posted speed limits on Hillsboro's rural roads. Alternatively, with as many out of state people have moved into Oregon, I have found that no one know's or has heard of the Basic Rule. Our lack of speed signs on heavily used roads like River Road, causes slower speeds and frustrations with lots of observed weird driving behaviors.

The bike turn lane really needs to be improved here. Vehicular traffic routinely uses the bike lane as a turn lane and typically seem oblivious to bicycles. This entire intersection should actually be much more bike friendly to improve safety for everyone involved.
-
There needs to be directional arrows painted on the road. People turn left onto 6th from Lincoln going one way and drive all the way down to Grant in the left lane.
-
Needs a traffic light. Perhaps a blinking red/yellow for most of the day and a full light during morning and evening rush hours. Poor visibility and high speeds on Helvetia make this dangerous.
-
The close proximity of Town Center Dr to 185th makes this intersection a mess at the best of times. Better synchronization between the two intersection lights may help to keep traffic from clogging between the two roads but that seems it would be only a minor improvement. A redesign of Town Center Rd to route traffic better and alleviate the close proximity of the two intersections is really what's needed.
-
Max line should be expanded into forest grove and end at pacific university. This will create more options for students and take traffic off the rds
-
Need a bike lane for westbound traffic. Road carries trucks and a lot of cars at rush hours.
-
This crosswalk and turn lane are so dangerous. When using this turn lane you have to watch to the left to be sure the cars have come to a stop, BUT you also have to watch for pedestrians.
It would be great is the crosswalk was removed and peds were not allowed to us that side as a cross walk.
We just watched an accident here a few days ago. A woman didn't see the light had turned red and ran into a motorcycle who had stopped. He went flying off of his bike.My guess is that she was probably checking for pedestrians or that traffic stopped on the left. -
Having a max line closer to TV hwy could take a lot of traffic off the rd, especially when south hillsboro is completed
-
No sidewalks. People have to walk in the street. Very dangerous.
-
Please set the stoplight at Evergreen/Glencoe on a timer. Often I'm stuck at a long red light when there are no other cars or pedestrians in sight.
-
Golden Rd needs sidewalks
-
Large trucks should NOT be allowed on Orenco pkwy from Cornell to NE Brighton Dr.
-
People use this as a cut through to and from Intel. Travel to fast with the number of people walking. Speed humps should be added.

I'm wondering how the city is planning to handle the increase in North-South traffic as the South Hillsboro development really gets booming? The current options are already overcrowded, and making Century a thru-street will hardly help, as it will always bottleneck around the Platform area since those apartments butt right up to the street. As a resident living off of Century north of Main, I'm very concerned about this street becoming a "mini-highway" like Brookwood and Cornelius Pass. When asked questions about how increased traffic will be handled with the development of South Hillsboro, I haven't ever seen this issue addressed. Yes, I understand that the idea is that SH will be a sort of self contained community, but you're dreaming if you think those people aren't all going to be commuting and using 26 on a regular basis. I think this development is going to be a nightmare for traffic in the area, and I'm afraid it's going to turn Hillsboro into a congested mess.

Cars traveling from Cornell to Butler travel to fast from the hours 6-7:30 am & 4-7 pm
-
I understand that Old Orenco residents want to preserve the trees and charm of the neighborhood, but I wish we could have ONE street with a sidewalk on at least one side so kids could have safe routes to school. My daughter will be starting school at Orenco Elementary next year, and I'm very nervous about her walking down these narrow streets with the amount of increased traffic they have seen over the past few years.
-
Rebuild 209th and TV Hwy interface. Rebuild 209th some distance away from intersection to allow safe passage of bicycles and capacity for cars. South Hillsboro is coming. This needs to be done soon.
-
NE 65th in Orenco Station has become a thoroughfare for Intel employees who are bypassing Century Blvd. At the speeds I've observed, plus the fact that the street passes by Rosebay Park and our Rec Center, this is an accident waiting to happen, especially with distracted children. In addition, I'm with others that see the need to make the intersection of NE 65th and Rosebay a 4-way stop.
-
This intersection needs a turn lane/light. People trying to turn right onto oak from 1st might have to wait completely through the light, then practically run the red light to be able to go! I personally cut through the parking lot right next to this signal rather than go through that mess!
-
There is no right turn lane from SB 185th Ave to WB West Union Road (because of the pub), which is a huge amount of traffic in the morning rush hour. Can a right turn lane be added behind the back of Rock Creek Corner?
-
Travel on NB Cornelius Pass Road (45mph) is abruptly halted because a single vehicle exits WB 26 to head north on Cornelius Pass. The light is actuated to turn green for the off-ramp traffic (usually only 1 car that is going to turn right and can do that on a red anyway...). It causes huge back-ups on Corn Pass, especially on the overpass.
