Bull Mountain Road in Tigard to get 1st flashing beacon crosswalk next year

With rapid growth expected, a Tigard City Council member wants to know what the city is doing to address transportation and safety issues on one of the city’s major collector roadways. Councilor Faraz Ghoddusi said he has concerns about how the city is preparing Southwest Bull Mountain Road for growth in Tigard’s River Terrace and River Terrace 2.0, along with King City’s Kingston Terrace. “My primary concern was we don’t have the infrastructure for the growth in that location,” Ghoddusi told members of the Tigard City Council during a city update he requested on the roadway Tuesday, Nov. 10. New crosswalk is coming As far as safety on the roadway is concerned, the city will install an enhanced crosswalk — complete with Southwest Bull Mountain Road’s first rectangular rapid flashing beacon — along the road at Southwest Foran Terrace this summer, a “proven safety improvement widely used in Tigard and nationally,” according to city officials.
