Comments for “Transportation System Plan Update”
-
Install barrier so cars turning onto Borwick (from Baseline) cannot make a hard left into the Shell station lot. The round bumps are just driven over by many people.
-
Lanes from 3 directions are merging into 1 lane in very short distance. Pattern flow doesn't make sense.
-
The parking here is angled, but a lot of trucks (think big personal use trucks, not commercial) park here during games and take up the eastbound lane. It's a little dangerous, because the westbound traffic doesn't always move out of the way, and the eastbound traffic has to go over the center line because of the parked trucks.
There's plenty of room to shift the center line north a little to make room for these big trucks, so that no one has to cross the center line or get out of the way while driving.
-
We could use a crossing walk marked here. There's one further east on Harewood, but a lot of people cross right here - there's a path out of the Preserve that comes through here and connects on the other side.
-
Driveway into daycare, restaurants, storage facility, vet clinic, dental office is too steep (most vehicles drag bottom exiting.) There's also a fairly good slope in the street coming out of Costco & turning left, which is dangerous when the road is slippery and in snow/ice.
-
Add turn light. Traffic backs up during rush hour, especially when driving W on Wilkins and turning left onto John Olsen Ave.
-
Install turn light. Especially needed coming W on Quatama and turning S onto Corn. Pass.
-
I agree with the other poster - that spot where the leftmost lane swerves a little left, and the right splits in two is dangerous. A small number of drivers decide to continue straight while in the leftmost lane, almost ramming into people in the rightmost lane who are properly going into the new middle lane.
I disagree with their solution.
I think our traffic engineers should look at the lanes and figure out what will make the most sense to get traffic through these intersections quickly, and improve the signage so that there is less confusion or deliberate violations.
-
Bikes going southbound need to be extra careful of the right turn only lane. Although there is a sign, would be good to have a bike lane that goes onto the road, similar to Veterans
-
Cars often try to hit pedestrians crossing in the crosswalks here (when making left turn from Rood Bridge onto River
-
Left turn yield here sometimes does not work well. May need protected lefts from 24th and from parking lot
-
Split road is hard to see for new drivers. Have had uber drivers almost end up driving wrong way down road making left from SE TV Hwy onto SE Brookwood.
-
Right turn on red not allowed and it really should be. Visibility is fine
-
Speed should be 35 along here, like it is past Minter Bridge rd. Dangerous to pull out from the 30th Ct due to visibility and people doing 45+ around the corner at Rood Bridge
-
Sidewalk needed along here to be able to safely access Rood Bridge Park via walking during winter when Rock Creek flooded. Also lots of pedestrians due to the high school
-
Sidewalks needed along here. Dangerous to walk to/from high school and only way to walk to Rood Bridge Park during the winter when the water floods Rock Creek.

Century Blvd. is a frequent drag strip for people who have fast cars, and no mufflers nor brains.
At any time of the day or night, if there is an opening in traffic, they race up Century Blvd. or down Century Blvd.
There have been many mentions of this in the "Nextdoor Orenco" group site, and many there have said they reported it to the police.
Isn't there a law requiring mufflers on passenger cars?
Is it possible to set some speed control on Century Blvd.?
It is not just disturbing the peace, but is also threatening the lives of pedestrians who are crossing Century Blvd.

There is NO SAFE PLACE to cross Century Blvd. between the MAX tracks at Orenco Station, and a mile south of there, at the Main St. intersection. Families with children, elderly residents, and completely able-bodied people have to make a dangerous crossing if:
1. One wants to get from "Old Orenco" neighborhoods across Century Blvd. to walk on the sidewalk up to the MAX station or the Orenco retail area.
2. One wants to walk from Orenco Gardens to us the Orenco Woods Nature Park. I've seen many mothers and fathers RUNNING across Century Blvd. with kids in strollers or carrying them, just trying to get to the park.Please create a pedestrian crossing light and crossing walk, or a regular traffic light at the corner of Dogwood St. and Century Blvd. This is NOT SAFE!
I wrote to the Transportation Dept. a year ago, but they said it wasn't a priority. I'm glad to see other comments addressing this problem.

Always super congested in this area, takes forever to get past CPR on TV Hwy
-
Why is there no bus route along Cornelius Pass Road?
-
Need either a light or a pedestrian bridge here. Pedestrians often running across tv hwy to get to bus stop. Also, people turning left off of imlay onto tv hwy block traffic as tv hwy is never clear.
-
Brookwood needs to be widened to 5 lanes, from TV HWY to Cornell.
-
side walk from NE Sunrise Lane to NE Griff Oaks St
-
side walk along NE Sunrise Lane
-
Stop Sign, north and south bound NE Hawthorne.
