ADOPTED TEXT bottlenecks for motor-vehicle travel and hazardous and/or intimidating for users of nonmotorized travel
Major Intersections may be significant conflict points for all modes. Such intersections can easily become

modes. Depending on the severity of the problems, the impacts to all modes can affect a larger area beyond
the intersection and may cause problems that ripple throughout the transportation system, causing vehicle
delay and/or intimidating barriers for bicycle and pedestrian travel. Impacts may be particularly problematic
in areas where community design and land use goals could be compromised by the presence of a major in-
tersection. This plan does not identify solutions to traffic problems at the Major Intersection locations. Those
solutions can be studied through coordinated interagency planning efforts, which will determine the ultimate
intersection design and define any associated right-of-way needs.

For intersections studied as part of the 2013 Tualatin Valley Highway Corridor Plan (TVCP), near-term im-
provements such as signal timing, transit prioritization, traffic operations monitoring, and specific turn lane
configurations have been identified. The TVCP intersection improvements (and/or other reasonable replace-
ment improvements) are to be implemented and prioritized as funding allows. If, after the lifespan of the
TVCP and/or the improvements consistent with the TVCP have been implemented, motor-vehicle traffic
congestion becomes unacceptable, then these Tualatin Valley Highway intersections should be considered as
candidates for grade separation and/or other intersection improvements to meet travel needs.
