City staff to pursue design for Classen/Renaissance traffic signal after warrant study
Summary
Transportation staff reported that a warrant study shows the Classen and Renaissance intersection meets criteria for a traffic signal; staff will seek a professional services agreement for design and pursue ODOT funding (80%) with the city covering 20% from traffic impact fees.
City transportation staff told the Planning Commission that a recent warrant study found the intersection of Classen and Renaissance meets current signalization criteria and that the city will pursue design and funding steps.
David Riesland, the city's transportation engineer, reviewed completed studies for high‑growth areas and said he has forwarded the Classen‑Renaissance study to the city manager and to ODOT because the road is under state jurisdiction; ODOT participation would cover 80 percent of construction costs with the city responsible for the remaining 20 percent. Riesland said the city would use collected traffic impact fees to cover the local share and planned to authorize a professional services agreement for signal design.
Riesland also noted other intersections under watch from prior development studies (for example, Alameda/Summit Lakes and 24th/Meadowood) and said city staff perform warrant studies in‑house rather than requiring developers to do them. Commissioners had no objection; staff will continue coordination with ODOT and proceed with design authorization.
