Pleasant Valley Transportation System Plan Refinements
-
The goal of the Pleasant Valley Transportation System Plan Refinements project is to determine how the streets of Pleasant Valley can function adequately in the future.
Alternatives will be considered for overall network connectivity, a potential arterial extension of SE 174th Avenue to connect between SE Giese Road and SE Jenne Road, and future build out of the congested 172nd and Foster intersection.
A preferred alternative will be incorporated into an updated Pleasant Valley TSP and identify the long-term vision for the area as well as near-term solutions to address community concerns and support growth of the area.

Pleasant Valley is growing and developing. Hundreds of acres are planned for annexation into the city of Gresham. Additionally, Happy Valley is growing to the south, with a number of developments underway. Current and forecasted growth will increase traffic volumes and increase pressure on roads in Pleasant Valley. It is important to proactively plan for the future now.
Over the past several years, community groups in the Pleasant Valley area have expressed concern about the 174th Extension and its viability due to topographical constraints and potential impacts to the natural and neighborhood environment.
The SE 174th Avenue Extension was originally identified in
the planning for the Powell-Foster corridors and is included in the current
Metro Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) project list.
TSP refinements will identify how improvements can be phased
and their costs, right-of-way needs, and impacts.
