Parents picking up their children for Ladd Acres park along Cornelius Pass. This is understandable IF there is no parking in the Ladd Acres parking lot. However, I have seen a dozen open parking spots and people still park along the road. This is a hazard to bicyclists, as they are blocking the bike lane. I also believe that it is illegal to block the bike lane. Cars parking on the side of the road also disrupts car traffic, causing congestion for people on both sides of CPR, people turning left into Ladd Acres, and people turning left out of Ladd Acres onto CPR.
If there is parking in the Ladd Acres parking lot, people should park in it.

I frequently cross the street at this intersection during lunch hour. About once every week or two there is a close call with traffic barreling southbound out of the shopping center turning left onto TV Highway eastbound.
Add signage to yield to pedestrians, re-paint the crosswalks.
-
4-way stop has been a nuisance. Most people perform a rolling-stop here anyhow. Why not make this a roundabout like Brookwood & Alexander?
-
Need dedicated right turn lane from NB Century Blvd onto Eastbound TV Highway so vehicles can turn right on red. No reason we need to be held up by northbound traffic waiting for the signal cycle. Also, there is a lot of north-south pedestrians that sometimes prevent anybody from advancing in the intersection b/c the pedestrians use most of the cycle time of the light.
-
Pedestrians are constantly jay-walking across TV-Highway for access between the bus stops on either side of the highway. Very dangerous and tough to see folks. A lot of close-call rear-ends when people slam on their brakes anticipating a potential jay-walker.
-
Traffic has gotten way worse at this intersection since adding the protected left turn lanes onto TV Highway has increased the cycle time of the light. Unless you are speeding and one of the first two vehicles, you cannot hit both 209th and Cornelius Pass lights green. Change the timing of the lights or open up the Cornelius Pass Extension to Blanton to alleviate the bottlenecking.

Limited visibility for left turn from eastbound Alexander onto northbound 229th avenue. Trim back the trees, adjust the intersection, add sidewalks to access Rosedale Elementary.

Finish this trail! I sometimes see students walking through the grass to get to school (Brown I think). There's a perfectly good park area to have a trail going through so people don't have to walk on grass!

Helvetia Road should not be used by traffic cutting over to Cornelius Pass or Beaverton. Yes, it's the agricultural boundary but fumes and pollutants still impact nearby farms. People are not going to stop using the road but it would be helpful if there were at least signs to discourage some people. Lowering the speed limit might also help.

This neighborhood was assured that Huffman would be put through from Starr Blvd to Brookwood before Meek Rd was closed at Brookwood. Meek rd was gated off over a year ago, Huffman is still nowhere near being done, and now Starr Blvd has up to a 20 min delay from the flaggers. Our 30 second access to Hwy 26 eastbound has now turned into a 30 minute detour. One suggestion is to open the gate that blocks Meek access to Brookwood only until Huffman is completed and make it a right turn out, right turn in only.

Yellow curbs need repainted that are at the intersection (on Lois) as they are very light now. Makes this intersection a blind location turning onto Lois
-
This road has become a semi-truck parking lot, as well as an RV camper hangout. It clogs the road, and makes turning from the movie theater onto Alexander perilous.

Part lumber has a trip light that lets their trucks out sooner. They don't have to wait the 1 minute and 40 seconds Holly Street does. The residents at The Crossing at Tanasbourne also enjoy the benefits of this trip light. Take it out.

We need Sidewalks on these streets! I walk through the Orenco Woods park to Orenco Station with my child to visit his grandparents and I always feel like we are going to get smoked by a vehicle but there seems to be no safe way to travel westward.
-
Great timing on the lights giving all directions quick access. Does get a bit jammed during 4:30pm-5pm rush hour. I don't find the lack of a turn lane to be a big issue except for drivers that fail to use their left turn signal which sadly happens to me a few times a week.
-
Make Orenco station parkway one way around central park. It is narrow with cars parked and many activities in the park. People drive in the center of the street rather than on one side.
-
The lights at the MAX crossing seem to be working well. I never see cars blocking the tracks, except the one time traffic was stopped all the way to Cornell because of an accident.
-
Need a stop sign. Cars do not yield and away e Rosebay is ta through street.
-
I really like that the pedestrian walk goes on before the green or yellow blinker lights. This lets me know which direction the pedestrians are going so I can be cautious.
Other intersections where everything is in sync I might take my turn and a non observant pedestrian might take their crossing late during the point of my turn causing issues as I have already assumed they must be crossing the other direction.
-
I continue to state that this intersection poses a major risk for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers due to the homes, shubbery and natural gradient of the road that block the view of traffic coming from other directions. Every month there is a major car crash here and speed needs to be slowed down. There are too many cars racing up this intersection everyday and I fear that one day a motorcyclist will end up in my living room.
I would love to see the stop signs put back in.

When will Hillsboro install sidewalks on NE 18th between NE Poynter, across Grant and all the way south to E Main? This route connects several neighborhoods, apartment complexes, a small shopping center as well as Trimet stops and provides access to Poynter Middle School and Eastwood Elementary. City planners continue to encourage population growth by increasing jobs and density before improving infrastructure and then hope to catch up decades later while the price to execute projects continues to rise.
-
When will Hillsboro install sidewalks and bike lanes on NE Brogden between NE 28th and 43rd? There isn't room for autos, pedestrians and bicyclists to share the road safely. City planners continue to encourage population growth by increasing jobs and density before improving infrastructure and then hope to catch up decades later while the price to execute projects continues to rise.

When will Hillsboro install sidewalks and bike lanes on SE 24th between E Main and Maple? There isn't room for autos, pedestrians and bicyclists to share the road safely. City planners continue to encourage population growth by increasing jobs and density before improving infrastructure and then hope to catch up decades later while the price to execute projects continues to rise.

It would be nice if the signal light was coordinated with the one at TV Highway and SE Cypress. The backup on SE Cypress can be long during rush hour.
