7. FANNO CREEK TRAIL PROJECTS UPDATE
Zach presented on the Fanno Creek Trail through Tigard. The crossing underneath Scholls Ferry
floods during wet weather. A more gradual path leading up to an at-grade Scholls Ferry crossing will
be constructed with a crossing signal. Coordination between the different jurisdictions is necessary
before funding can be sought. There is a section before the crossing that also floods. Tigard Public
Works crews rerouted that section to a higher elevation and the previous path will be restored to a
floodwater vegetated corridor with assistance from Clean Water Services. The path behind City Hall
from Ash Ave. to Hall Blvd. will be repaved. The Fanno Creek Trail connections project has been
delayed but is expected to go out to bid in 2021 with construction going through 2022. The Fanno
Creek Trail alignment study is looking at preferred alignments from Bonita Rd. to Durham Rd.
which encompasses many different commercial, industrial and residential areas. Staying along the
greenway or moving to 76th Ave. are under consideration. Carla noted that the draft report regarding
the trail amenities will look at ways to maximize the use of the trail.
8. TTAC SELF-GUIDED PROJECT TOUR
Richard noted how much of the tour was tied to the Fanno Creek Trail projects. Members will
explore the areas more and discuss at a future meeting.

TriMet Administrative Offices

Portland, OR 97201
From: Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC)
Dear Mr. Kelsey and Mr. Witter,
Our committee’s charge is to advise city staff and elected officials on a broad range of transportation
issues within our community. We are tasked to ensure that our transportation system, facilities, and
investments serve all members of our community regardless of age, ability, or mode of travel. With
the proposed introduction of the Southwest Corridor (SWC) Light Rail project, our committee is
keenly interested in seeing a project that successfully meets our shared objectives to maximize
ridership while supporting the integrated transportation and land use aspirations of our growing city.
TriMet representatives have presented at TTAC meetings multiple times over the past two years and
several current and former TTAC members have served on both the Metro SWC Citizen Advisory
Committee and TriMet’s SWC Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). TTAC members have spent
numerous collective hours hearing project presentations, attending project meetings, and providing
feedback in person and through surveys. We are invested in the project and in its outcomes within
our community.
A successful SWC project in Tigard requires that each station area be thoughtfully integrated into
the surrounding land uses and transportation network. As such, we respectfully request TriMet
address each of the following requests:
1. Support and work toward achieving Tigard’s and TriMet’s shared Transit-Oriented
Development (TOD) objectives at the 68th Ave, Hall Blvd, and Elmhurst Station areas.
These three stations represent Tigard’s greatest opportunity to match desired future land
uses with convenient and reliable transit service. Of particular importance is the design and
siting of TriMet’s operations and maintenance facility; it must support a station area
integrated with a walkable and thriving Downtown Tigard.
2. Work with project and agency partners to prioritize, design, and build safe and convenient
pedestrian crossing opportunities across Pacific Highway at the 68th Ave station area. With
an existing documented history of injury and fatal crashes, it is imperative to facilitate
pedestrian travel across the highway to and from the station.
3. Work with project and agency partners to design and build high-quality bicycle facilities on
any roadway or roadway section impacted by the project. Tigard’s Complete Streets Policy
requires that facilities are built to serve road users of all ages and abilities – higher volume
and speed roadways being reconstructed through the project require higher-order bicycle
facilities. This is particularly important on ODOT-owned roadways that will be impacted by
the SWC project.
4. Partner with the City of Tigard on obtaining funding to design and build an integrated
bicycle and pedestrian path with the new Highway 217 light rail bridge. TTAC views this
facility as critical in supporting active travel between Tigard’s disconnected Town Center.
Further, ensure the path is seamlessly integrated into the transportation network where it
connects at Hunziker and 72nd Ave.
5. Continue working with City of Tigard staff, citizens, and interest groups to ensure that
placemaking at each of the five Tigard stations reflects a growing city with an active and
diverse population that is welcoming and safe for all users. As you progress toward more
detailed design and engineering phases, we expect to see community needs for high-quality
station access reflected by the project; the new facilities should be safe, convenient, and easy
for people to use.
TTAC is looking forward to engaging with TriMet staff on these and other SWC topics at our
upcoming September meeting.

1121 St. Ave. Street Improvements
Project Description
SW 121st Avenue, between Tippitt Place and Whistlers
Loop in the city of Tigard, has two travel lanes, limited
street lighting, no bike lanes, intermittent sidewalks
and inadequate drainage facilities. This section of
121st Avenue is adjacent to densely populated resi-
dential neighborhoods.
This project will improve safety and traffic flow on
121st Avenue with:
Continuous sidewalks
Bicycle facilities
Street lighting
Drainage facilities
Washington County is partnering with Tigard to install
a 24-inch water main as part of this project. This co-
ordination will lower the cost of the water project and
minimize road and traffic impacts. For more informa-
tion, contact Jeff Peck with the city of Tigard at jeffp@
tigard-or.gov or 503-718-2466.

N. Dakota St. Bridge / Tigard St. Bridge
Project Description
The North Dakota St bridge replacement project
(Tigard project # 95056) will be a full bridge replace-
ment and will add bike/ped facilities. This project is
primarily federally funded. As such, the contracts for
design and construction will be administered by ODOT.
Currently the scope of work and fee estimate with the
selected design consultant is still under negotiation.
Design will commence once that process wraps up and
the firm is under contract. Seeing that design has yet
to begin, the timeline is far from set – but my best
guess at this point is construction in 2022 (although
possibly subject to change even more based on Tigard
St – see below).
The Tigard St bridge replacement project (Tigard
project # 95060) will be a full bridge replacement
and will add bike/ped facilities. This project is fully
funded with Tigard dollars. Originally this project was
way out towards the tail-end of the CIP cycle, but just
this past budget cycle we pulled it up so that there
is money available starting this fiscal year. As such,
here in the next month or so I hope to start pulling
together the request for proposal for design. Depend-
ing on how things go, it is possible this project will be
on a very similar timeframe to North Dakota. Given
past experience with federally funded projects, it is
possible this will jump ahead of North Dakota – sched-
uling of construction of the two projects will have to
be determined as we get farther along.
With the above said:
• The current thought is that each road will serve
as the detour for the other while the opposite bridge
is replaced.
• In addition to timing these projects to not
conflict with each other, we’re also keeping an eye on
ODOT’s 217 widening project which will include a 7-9
month closure of the Hall Blvd overpass of 217; we
want to avoid any overlapping closures as much as
possible.

Project Description
Meeting Date: 09/25/2018 Length (in minutes): 5
Minutes
Agenda Title: CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZ-
ING A CDBG GRANT APPLICATION FOR FREWING ST
SIDEWALKS
Shall Council approve a resolution authorizing a Com-
munity Development Block Grant (CDBG) application
for sidewalk construction and related improvements
on one side of SW Frewing Street?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends that Council approve of the resolu-
tion.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The CDBG grant application is for completing a miss-
ing sidewalk segment on one side of SW Frewing
Street east of HWY 99W. The grant amount being
applied for is $237,720. The City of Tigard's match
amount for this grant will be $27,000, funded through
engineering design and management services.
This improvement would provide a safer option for
residents on Frewing to walk. Currently, residents
including children being picked up and dropped off by
school buses, are forced to walk in the roadway.
CDBG funding would allow this project to move for-
ward on these improvements.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
Decline to authorize the CDBG application. Improve-
ments will need to be funded from other sources.
COUNCIL OR TCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS
City of Tigard Strategic Plan: "Facilitate walking con-
nections to develop an identity."
DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
The City of Tigard previously applied for, but was not
awarded CDBG funds for this project in 2010.
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $27,000
Budgeted (yes or no): yes
Where budgeted?: PW Engineering
Additional Fiscal Notes:
The cost of this project represents a 10% match of
the total grant request. This match comes from engi-
neering design and management services.

Commercial Street Sidewalks
Project Description
Tigard to add sidewalk along Commercial
Street
Mark Miller
Thursday, November 09, 2017
The project will connect a residential neigh-
borhood area with the city's downtown dis-
trict.
A section of roadway near Commercial Park
in Tigard is set to get a new sidewalk, which
city officials hope will help connect the neigh-
borhood area northwest of Highway 99W to
downtown Tigard and transit services.
Acting in its capacity as the city's contract
review board, the Tigard City Council voted
unanimously Tuesday, Nov. 7, to approve a
contract with GT Excavating to construct a
sidewalk along the north side of Commercial
Street in between 95th Avenue and Lincoln
Street.
The sidewalk will connect with an exist-
ing sidewalk west of 95th Avenue. It is also
expected to link up with a separate proj-
ect to add a sidewalk on Commercial Street
between Lincoln and Main streets, passing
beneath Highway 99W. That project is being
constructed in collaboration with TriMet and
the Oregon Department of Transportation.
The Tigard Transit Center is located off Com-
mercial Street, at 8960 S.W. Commercial St.,
southeast of Highway 99W. Having full side-
walk connectivity along Commercial Street
would create a pedestrian route to the transit
center from the neighborhood area around
Commercial Street, Greenburg Road and
North Dakota Street, in between Highway
217 to the north and the railroad tracks to
the south.

Fanno Creek Trail Crossing at Scholls Ferry Road
Project Description
The Project Team will Work to Fund Crossing Improvements
This crossing study only identifies what the crossing would consist of and where it would
occur — it is not actual design engineering that can be used to construct the crossing. Ad-
ditionally, no funding is currently available for the design and construction of the mid-block
crossing. If the feedback we get from this virtual open house is in support of the identified
crossing, the project team will pursue funding opportunities, which might include regional,
state, or federal funds as they become available. In our experience, completing this type of
study is critical to showing grant providers that the project has been thoroughly planned,
increasing the likelihood of the project being awarded grant funding.
The Trail Under the Bridge will be Raised Slightly
While raising the trail under the roadway bridge is not a viable standalone long-term solu-
tion, it is worth continued consideration until the at-grade crossing is constructed. Clean Wa-
ter Services is working on this and is currently securing the permits needed to do this work.
Depending on when the permitting phase is complete, work will be dependent on weather.
While it is Clean Water Services’ hope to get this constructed before the rainy season, it may
have to wait until summer 2021. Some key aspects of this work include:
•Raising the trail approximately 10 inches, which analysis shows should significantly increase
the number of days that the undercrossing remains dry.
•To address concerns about reducing overhead clearance, “chicane” style gating and warning
signs will be added to both sides of the undercrossing to alert trail users to the lower over-
head clearance and force cyclists to slow down when approaching the undercrossing, shown
below.
A Portion of the Trail will be Relocated
Tigard and Clean Water Services are partnering to relocate a portion of Fanno Creek Trail
north of Ironwood Loop in Englewood Park. Crews will construct a new asphalt trail segment
in approximately the same location as a dirt path trail users have worn into a grassy area to
get around the area of the trail that sometimes floods. Once the new trail segment is con-
structed, the existing trail segment will be removed and restored with native plants. Con-
struction will occur in summer 2020.
Monitoring will Continue
Tigard and Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District will continue to clear debris and sediment
that accumulates on the trail after flooding. In addition, Clean Water Services will continue
to monitor beaver dam activity and flow devices that aim to reduce the flooding impacts re-
sulting from the dams.

Fanno Creek Trail Crossing at Scholls Ferry Road
FANNO CREEK TRAIL AT SCHOLLS FERRY
ROAD: SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS
Fanno Creek is an urban stream that begins in Portland’s
southwest hills and meanders 15 miles through neighborhoods
in Portland, Beaverton, Tigard and Durham, where it meets the
Tualatin River. The creek and its tributaries cross private residential,
industrial and commercial properties, as well as parklands and
natural areas owned by Clean Water Services, Metro, Tualatin
Hills Park & Recreation District and the cities of Beaverton,
Tigard and Durham.
Since 2004, Tree For All partners have transformed more than
eight miles of Fanno Creek streamside and 200 acres of greenways
into a healthy resource for people and wildlife. Strategies include
streambank stabilization; floodplain reconnection; and
enhancement of amenities for recreation and active transportation.
On the revegetation front, volunteers, partners and reforestation
contractors have installed native trees, shrubs and herbaceous
plants by the hundreds of thousands, greatly increasing stream
shade, stabilizing stream banks, improving air quality and
enhancing wildlife habitat.
As a result of successful restoration, dynamic Mother Nature
has taken over parts of the floodplain that were historically
wetlands but had drained and were dry enough on which to
build trails. Fanno Creek has been transformed by the benefits
beaver and their dams provide for wetland and wildlife habitat
as well as water quality. Currently, five dams exist in this stretch
of Fanno Creek. (over)

Stewardship is for the long term
The transformation at Fanno Creek
continues to unfold. The US Geological
Service has conducted an extensive
beavers-and-hydrology study. In the
heart of Tigard, the City of Tigard and
Clean Water Services are restoring the
portion of the creek closest to Ash Street.
Further north, with funding from Metro’s
Nature in Neighborhoods program,
partners--including THPRD, Clean Water
Services, Friends of Trees and local
residents--have embarked on a “Fanno
Floodplain Fix.” Both projects involve
remeandering segments of the creek;
enhancing habitat through revegetation;
and adding or improving amenities for
cyclists and pedestrians. And in 2017,
the Rose Festival Half-Marathon—
traditionally held in Portland—took
place instead in Beaverton, including a
stretch of the Fanno Creek Trail.
By bringing best practices to bear, Tree
For All partners continue to transform
Fanno Creek in ways that benefit our
economy, community and ecology.

JUNE 2020
An unintended consequence of this valuable restoration and subsequent beaver activity
is the high water levels which remain longer on the Fanno Creek Regional Trail, where it
crosses under Scholls Ferry Road. In recent years, the trail downstream of the crossing
between THPRD’s Greenway Park and Tigard’s Englewood Park remains inundated for
longer periods of time than before. To avoid the inundated underpass, some trail users
cross the road where there is no signal – a significant safety hazard for a major regional
transportation corridor.
Southwest Scholls Ferry Road is located on the Tigard/Beaverton City boundaries, the bridge
is owned by Washington County, and the Greenway Park immediately upstream is owned
and managed by Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District; there are many stakeholders
involved in developing a reliable long-term crossing solution for the trail. There is also an
active local community that uses the trail for daily movement around their neighborhood.
While the multi-jurisdictional team is actively studying the permanent solution of a
signalized at-grade crossing, CWS is planning an improvement for trail users in the
short term. This project involves raising the trail elevation under the bridge which will
increase the portion of the year that the trail remains dry and passable. This is not an
adequate permanent solution because it will reduce the already sub-standard head
space from 7’ 10” to approximately 7’ 0” – both below the trail standard of 8’.
Clean Water Services is working with partners and a consultant to design and permit
the underpass improvement and will contract the implementation of this interim action
while the stakeholder group moves the permanent solution ahead.

Project Description
This project will straighten the Fanno Creek
Trail through downtown, eliminating the need
for the “over and back” route over Fanno
Creek, while creating a resting space along
the trail that looks out over the creek itself.
Adjacent to the existing brewpub, the Fanno
Creek Overlook project will restore degraded
stream-banks, improve the regional trail
experience and create a small gathering area
as one of several mini-plazas along Main
Street.

Interfaces with two Arterial Streets: Bonita Rd. and Durham Rd.
Off-street options interface floodplain, wetlands, and vegetated corridors, multiple creek crossings, ODOT Rail crossings, security concerns, and private property
On-street option interfaces narrow ROW, business and/or residential traffic, Railroad adjacencies, and ODOT Rail crossings
APPROACH:
Identify potential alignment options and develop design criteria to measure and ensure the preferred alignment balances constructability, costs and funding; minimize environmental impacts; and facilitate a
positive user experience within the natural and urban settings.
FUNDING:
Many thanks to Metro for funding this trail alignment study.NOVEMBER 2019FANNO CREEK TRAIL ALIGNMENT STUDY: Bonita Road to Tualatin River
SCOPE, SCHEDULE AND FUNDING
Project Description
Bonita Road to the Tualatin River is known
as the “missing link,” as it is the final gap in
the Fanno Creek Trail in Tigard. This project
will determine the vicinity of the route in this
area and provide a conceptual design and
future grant materials for final design and
construction. The project will consider items
like street and railroad crossings, amenities
such as seating and overlooks, and access
points to view the creek.

72nd Ave. Design Concept
Vicinity MapProject Description
Background
72nd Avenue plays a vital role in the city’s vision to
improve the Tigard Triangle. A strategic plan for the
area envisions a vibrant core with people living and
working within walking distance to small shops, res-
taurants and parks.
To help make the vision a reality, city staff is working
with the community to develop a strategy for growth
and investments that support multiple types of travel.
The outcome will be a plan with recommendations for
things like the number of travel lanes, safety improve-
ments for pedestrians, the location of street crossings
and more.
Engagement
Community input for this project will be gathered on-
line and in person. Topics include:
• Corridor aspirations (Winter 2018)
• Design alternatives and analysis (Spring 2019)
• Preferred alternative ( Summer 2019)

City of Tigard 72nd Avenue Transportation Plan
Whether you are shopping, grabbing a bite to eat on
the way home or passing through to another destina-
tion in Tigard, you have probably traveled on 72nd
Avenue. The busy road is a main thoroughfare for
bus, car and truck traffic and as the city grows, so
does the number of people that walk and bike in the
corridor. To help make sure that no matter where you
are going, you have reliable options for getting there,
the city is developing a plan for future investments
along 72nd Avenue.
Planning for the Future of the Corridor
72nd Avenue travels through the heart of the Tigard
Triangle, a 500-acre district that gets its name from
being sequestered on three sides by Pacific Highway,
Highway 217 and Interstate 5.
Thousands of people travel along the street every day
to get to work, shop at big-box stores like WinCo and
Costco, commercial warehouses and a smattering
of houses and apartment complexes - mixed in with
vacant lots.
The avenue has a vital role in the City of Tigard’s vi-
sion to improve driving, biking, walking and transit
access in the Triangle. A strategic plan for the area
envisions a vibrant core with people living and work-
ing within walking distance to small shops, restau-
rants and parks.
To help make the vision a reality, the City is looking at
the current movement of goods, freight and people in
the corridor to develop a strategy for growth and in-
vestments that support multiple types of land use and
travel. The outcome will be a plan with recommenda-
tions for things like:
• How many travel lanes are needed to make safe
connections to businesses and housing,
• where to put bus stops, bike lanes and street
crossings to support different forms of travel in
the area,
• What kind of improvements are needed to make
the corridor accessible and attractive for people
that work, live and play in the Triangle and,
• what kind of investments will be needed to imple-
ment the plan?
The project is about more than transportation plan-
ning. It is about taking care of what we already have,
making good economic choices for the future and
creating a great community.
