Message From Tualatin City Manager - Lam Research Expansion
NEWS – LAM EXPANSION
The Riverpark Community Involvement Organization has been in communication with the City, community members and LAM officials regarding the expansion plan. The following report was sent to our Land Use Officer on August 27th from City Manager Sherilyn Lombos.
… Regarding the development; there are a lot of moving pieces on this, and they’re moving pretty slowly. The application is not yet deemed complete and there are missing chunks of information and changes being made. I’m not sure when the project will even be scheduled for Planning Commission or the Architectural Review Board, but it’s months out.
It seems like the main concern of the surrounding neighborhood is traffic, specifically traffic coming into and out of the facility on Tualatin Road. I know there are conversations between staff and Lam about this, and I believe there are ideas being worked on, maybe not yet ready for primetime, but that would address or get to the concerns that have been raised. I think the entrance at 115th and Tualatin is not going away; however, there may be creative solutions to limit through traffic onto 115th. I think there may be some other ideas about additional ingress/egress that are not onto Tualatin Road. And I think Lam is thinking about how to maximize the space and minimize the congestion with their employees – specifically encouraging carpooling, shuttle service, and working with TriMet and Ride Connection on additional stops. All of that is on the table, I think, but it takes a little time as they work on their plans.
I know you and your neighbors, including the CIO leadership will be active and involved, and I think you can be a good conduit on this issue. Thank you for engaging.
Sherilyn Lombos
… and thank you Sherilyn
