Tualatin Valley Highway near 185th

Tualatin Valley Highway Refinement Area
A refinement plan for Tualatin Valley Highway (Maple Street to Cedar Hills Boulevard) and surrounding areas
called the TV Highway Corridor Plan (TVCP) was completed in 2013. The TVCP was a joint effort between
ODOT, Metro, the City of Hillsboro, the City of Beaverton and Washington County that focused an examination
of the transportation system to identify needs and recommend improvements for all modes of transporta-
tion. There are still two outstanding sections of the corridor left to be studied: within Beaverton (OR 217 to
SW Cedar Hills Blvd) and from Hillsboro (west of SE 10th Avenue/Maple Street) to Forest Grove. A number of
improvements have been identified in this corridor to address existing deficiencies and safety concerns and
serve increased travel demand. ADOPTED TEXT

A long-term transit solution for Tualatin Valley Highway has yet to be identified. In advance of this transit study
additional land area is to be preserved for Business Access Transit (BAT) / High Capacity Transit (HCT) uses.
This land area is not intended to be used for general purpose through lanes. Development along Tualatin Valley
Highway shall consider opportunities for the preservation of land so as to not preclude a future Business Access
and Transit lane in the westbound direction, and to not preclude Bus pullouts in the eastbound direction.

The TVCP recommendations fall into 3 categories: 1) Near Term Actions, 2) Opportunistic Actions and 3)
Longer Term Refinement Planning Needs.
