---------------------- 384958 05/31/12 Signal light timing is crazy. 96-Tualatin/I-5 Completed 06/20/12 We've reviewed the signal timing plans and watched the operations of this signal in the field and it appears to be operating properly. The flashing yellow arrow will come up for a minimum of three seconds and a maximum of 12 seconds depending on the opposing through lane vehicle demand and a four second solid yellow arrow indication will always follow the flashing yellow arrow before turning to red. If you see the light turn from a flashing yellow arrow to a red light without becoming a solid yellow arrow, please note the date and time and call me (962-4947) so I can pursue it with the City of Tualatin. I live in Tualatin and will also watch this signal for problems. Decision: Routed for Action to: Tommye Gilbreath - 05/31/12, Russell Bohanon - 06/05/12, Shirley Block - 06/08/12

This may affect more customers than those that must now walk from the Theatre stop to the garage. There are trade-offs that Dan will discuss with you. He has indicated that this is an ongoing complaint, but that there are no plans at this time to change the route to accommodate this request.

------------------------- Safety Concern Location Route Status Completed Stop ID 201: after servicing stop, must cross 3 busy lanes to make left turn at 19th 389054 07/10/12 201 - Barbur & Evans NEAR SIDE / WEST 39-Lewis & Clark Completed 07/17/12 This is a busy location, but a review of the ACID database for this location did not show any accidents at this location. There are one hundred and ninety-four weekly on/offs with 3 monthly lifts, so it would impact a few people to remove this stop. I then measured the distance from the stop to the left turn lane and found that it is approximately 600 feet which is enough to make the maneuver. I know that this location is challenging, but the best option is to wait for an opening and take the time you need to make the lane changes. If you would like to talk to one of the trainers about this maneuver, please contact Dion Graham at 962-7410.
