Sellwd Bridge AM Traffic Evaluatin SMILE Transprtatin Cmmittee Meeting Prtland Bureau f Transprtatin Jamie Jeffrey, Rich Newlands, Jake Milligan
Gals and Objectives Understand and reduce the impacts f cut thrugh traffic. Preserve pedestrian and bicycle safety acrss Tacma and within the neighbrhd.
Infrmatin Cllected Data Cllectin Daily Traffic Vlumes n majr streets and lcal streets Turning Mvement Cunts at Tacma/13 th and Tacma/17 th Vide Data Tacma @ 6 th, 13 th @ Umatilla, and 13 th @ Nehalem Field bservatins travel patterns, travel time New cameras installed in Octber at bth ends f the bridge allw: Mnitring f traffic cnditins Ability t bserve affect f signal timing changes
Pssible Cntributing Factrs AM Queue Spillback due t: Hwy 43/Macadam signal 6 th & Tacma signal Stp and g cnditins Side street traffic allwed t enter Tacma Neighbrhd cut thrugh due t: Reduced ttal travel time Waze/Ggle Maps
Pssible Optins
Optins A thru D Signal Timing Adjustments West End f Bridge West End Interchange Signal Timing adjustments balance mvements fr mst efficient traffic flw.
Optin E Cnvert Bridge t Reversible Travel Lanes Lin s Head Bridge, Vancuver, WA Recnfiguring lanes n the bridge t prvide mre strage space acrss the bridge, and allw capacity t be adjusted with directinal demand. This will invlve multiple agency cnsensus. Significant amunt f evaluatin required.
Optins F thru K SE 6 th & Tacma Signal Operatins Mdificatins t signal include: Signal timing adjustments t favr pedestrian/bicycle safety Restrictin f certain mvements during the AM Peak Replacement f traffic signal with Pedestrian Hybrid Beacn
Optins G Replace SE 6 th & Tacma Signal Pedestrian Hybrid Beacn Example (SE Tacma & 19 th Ave)
Optins L, N, O Access Restrictins (Diversin) Treatments that eliminate r redirect traffic Medians n Tacma reduce turning mvement use f left turn lane Diverters and Turn Restrictin signing restrict traffic mvements with the gal f reducing traffic vlumes Time Limited Turn Restrictins
