Your Neighbors Are Talking Transportation – Meet Charlie Benson

Administrator — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:07:00 -0700

Since the summer of 2011, the Tualatin Transportation Task Force (TTF) has met monthly to advise the City of Tualatin on two important transportation plans: the Transportation System Plan (TSP) Update and Linking Tualatin, a project focused on Metro’s SW Corridor High Capacity Transit Project. Task Force members include representatives from the City of Tualatin, surrounding jurisdictions, business representatives and citizens. Today‘s post profiles TTF member and Tualatin resident Charlie Benson.

Name: Charlie Benson

Neighborhood: Sequoia Ridge - for the past 11 years

Commute: Tualatin to NE Portland - 30 minutes on a good day, 90 minutes on a bad day

Favorite mode of transportation: Automobile - but enjoys taking MAX when he can (especially from the airport)

What has been your favorite part of the TSP process so far? Looking at where Tualatin was 10 years ago, where it is now, and trying to imagine what it will look like in another 10 years. The other participants in the TTF have interesting perspectives and ideas about planning for the future. It's a great process that I believe will produce meaningful results.

What projects do you hope result from the City’s transportation planning? A coordinated and dynamic transportation system for Tualatin!

Watch a short video of Charlie talk about traffic congestion in Tualatin:
