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.
The Ardenwald-Johnson Creek Neighborhood Association on Tuesday night voted 14-1 to proceed with exploration of the Johnson Creek Blvd. toll gantry pilot program that tolls traffic congestion.
Metro Councilor and Ardenwald resident Carlotta Collette proposed the idea in January, which was published on Ardenwald.org (read proposal here).
Collette discussed more on the topic at Tuesday’s Neighborhood Association meeting with discussions and feedback from NDA board members and residents.

Dear Members of the Ardenwald NDA,
Thank you very much for your January 7 letter regarding the future of Johnson Creek Boulevard. The Milwaukie City Council has been following the various discussions that are underway about possible changes to the street due to the Portland-to-Milwaukie light rail project. Johnson Creek Boulevard is an important route, as it serves at least three Milwaukie neighborhoods and neighboring jurisdictions and businesses.
