Opportunities and Obstacles to Achieving Complete Streets Vision
Tigard’s Complete Streets vision statement was developed in collaboration between Tigard’s
Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC) and city staff. It answers the question, “What do we
imagine our ideal transportation system looking like in 10-20 years?”
“Tigard is a vibrant and healthy community where people of all ages and abilities can
travel safely, efficiently and comfortably on a well-connected and optimized multi-modal
network of roads, trails, and paths.”
With the understanding that decisions made in the immediate and near future will impact our ability
to achieve this vision over the long run, specific actions should be taken now to make directional
shifts towards that end state.
At their first meeting of the year on January 2, 2019, TTAC members were asked to provide input
on the opportunities and obstacles to achieving the Complete Streets vision. Knowing where the
community stands on these issues today will help inform the types of actions included in the
Complete Streets Policy implementation plan.
What are the opportunities that can help us achieve this vision?
• Sidewalk Infill: robust funding program options
• Identify bike paths
• Annual event highlighting trails system
• Roving open house
• Coordination with other goals/projects
• New funding sources (crowd funding, increased City Gas Tax)
• Participate in pilot projects (beta testing)
• Lower speed limits
• ADA / audit – accessibility
• Targeted enforcement / safety near schools / intersections
• Robust citywide traffic calming program
• Info sharing with other jurisdictions (jurisdictional coordination)
• Geographic community feedback / safety survey
What are some of the obstacles that may prevent us from achieving this vision?
• Money
• Increasing traffic
• ODOT
• Business interests, freight
• Physical space
• Right of way / cost
• Existing development
• Environment
• Lack of mixed development / destinations for walking and biking
• Big barriers – railways, highways

Construction Project Update – December 19, 2018
Cook Park Sewer Line
A portion of Clean Water Services’ West Durham Basin Improvement Program has started at
Cook Park. The project is replacing aging sewer interceptor pipes that help control water flow
with larger, more resilient pipes to improve wastewater capacity. Truck traffic, trail closures
and detours at the park are planned through April 2019. Work began near the wastewater
plant and progresses westward. More info is on the CWS website:
http://www.cleanwaterservices.org/about-us/projects/west-durham-basin-improvement-
program/
Fanno Creek Trail – Woodard Park to Tiedeman Ave
The Fanno Creek trail is closed from Woodard Park to Tiedeman Ave to build a new bridge and
trail connecting the Fanno Creek Trail straight from Woodard Park across the creek to the
existing crosswalk on Tiedeman Avenue. Detour routes are via Johnson Street and via the
Tigard Street Heritage Trail. The new bridge has been installed over Fanno Creek, the bridge
deck and a retaining wall have been poured. This week the contractor will be excavating next
to Fanno Creek to create a required floodplain bench. Erosion control measures will be in place
and no equipment will be in the creek. If weather allows, (temperatures are high
enough) asphalt for the new trail will be laid. Short delays are possible on Tiedeman Ave. to
accommodate trucks entering and leaving the site.
Dirksen Nature Park
Construction is in the final stages on a nature play area in Dirksen Nature Park south of Tigard
Street. The Fanno Creek Trail and the Nature Park will be opened this weekend. The restroom
facility is expected to be open early next year. Portions of the trail and park may have short-
term closures as construction wraps up.
