Tacoma St. Park & Ride scales back; 32nd Ave. gets signal lights; Oct. 26th Q&A’s

Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail project planners announced at Thursday night Tacoma Street Station/Johnson Creek Blvd. meeting that theTacoma Street Station Park & Ride size was cut down to 800 cars spaces, and shaving off one story from the structure.

The parking space and structure reduction may not relieve Johnson Creek Boulevard (JCB) from traffic volume and some traffic mitigation such as signal light at S.E. 32nd Ave. and JCB is likely.

A revised design elevation may be available for public viewing in March.

Alan Snook, traffic engineer of DKS and Associates, explained cars queuing from SE 32nd Ave. and JCB to Tacoma St. and McLoughlin can be a safety issue if cars are lined up on McLoughlin to Tacoma Street ramps. Signal lights would be mandatory to prevent queuing on McLoughlin Blvd.
