Welcome to Byrom CIO
The Byrom Community Involvement Organization (CIO) is one of six residential CIOs located in separate geographical areas of Tualatin.
​
Byrom CIO includes established neighborhoods and the newly annexed portion of Basalt Creek, and will soon vote to include Plambeck Gardens and all phases of Autumn Sunrise.
Our membership is open to all who reside or own property in this area. The Byrom CIO Board supports our community by working with the City of Tualatin and other CIOs to address any issues impacting the livability of our area. Our focus is on community safety, livability, equity and a sense of community.

Saving the Trees on Norwood
The trees along the South side of Norwood Rd where the townhome development is proposed are in danger! City engineers are insistent on an 8 foot utility easement that will remove trees, disturb root structure, and recreate the same calamity as we witnessed with the Autumn Sunrise development. Below is a summary of the two proposals:
City's Direction
Developer's Proposal

Use the same utility plan AKS developed for Autumn Sunrise

Add 3 feet of new pavement.

A new south curb in line with Autumn Sunrise.
-
A new 5 foot planter strip.
-
A new 12 foot Sidewalk.
-
An additional 8 foot Public Utility Easement, where PGE utilities gets placed under ground.

Annual Meetings
Byrom CIO hosts its annual meeting in the spring, featuring summaries of past year's efforts, emergency preparedness discussions, updates on city projects, and voting on biannually elected board positions. We are dedicated to fostering a sense of unity and collaboration among residents, businesses, and local government to create a vibrant and inclusive community for all.
For the first 10 years of the CIO program, Byrom CIO had very few changes. Today, significant projects may impact livability. Please contact us to see how you can get involved. To learn more email Tim Neary at byromcio@gmail.com.
Approved Projects Impacting Byrom - 400 Lot Subdivision of Single Family and Multiple Family Lots with Commercial Sites
Traffic on SW Boones Ferry
Volume of current traffic on SW Boones Ferry far exceeds the capacity. Byrom neighbors are extremely concerned that livability will be destroyed by additional projects feeding traffic on SW Boones Ferry and the potential bridge crossing Tapman Creek/Basalt Creek from SW 124th to SW Greenhill Lane.
Norwood Speed Limit to Decrease to 35MPH
Traffic Around Tualatin HS Dangerous
Lack of Infrastructure for Basalt Creek Traffic
Norwood Annexation Traffic - Where Can It Go?
Byrom CIO Accomplishments
Crosswalk with Flashing Lights at Tualatin H.S.
Residents from Byrom, Midwest, and Martinazzi Woods CIOs worked together for many years with the City of Tualatin to move this project forward. This recently completed crosswalk at Tualatin H.S. has improved pedestrian safety on a very busy road. Tualatin 2018 transportation safety bond funded the crosswalk. Byrom residents strongly supported the bond measure.
Pedestrian Safety Top Priority
Byrom residents have for many years expressed concerns about pedestrian traffic on SW Boones Ferry, especially children walking to school. Boones Ferry Corridor Sidewalk & Bike Lane project will complete missing segments of bike lanes and sidewalks, & repair sidewalks, pathways, and bike lanes that do not meet current standards along Boones Ferry Road from Warm Springs Street to Norwood Road. The photograph show the newly completed sidewalk on S It is funded by the 2018 Tualatin bond transportation safety measure endorsed by Midwest CIO volunteers.
National Night Out
The Byrom CIO residents have held multiple National Night Out events. It is celebrated on the first Tuesday in August and promotes first responder-community partnerships. Tualatin Police Officers and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue crews make rounds to greet folks at each of the events.
Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Byrom CIO supports the Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT). These volunteers have the training and focus to help neighbors in emergencies, such as power outage, floods and earthquake. Each volunteer can set up a command center, offer search and rescue, provide basic first aid and communicate with City and County emergency response centers through HAM radios. Out of 108 active CERTs, Midwest has 11 members, 7 of which have their HAM radio license.
