The July 9, 2025, TCAC Minutes were unanimously approved.
3. CALL FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS – N/A
4. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A
5. FOLLOW UP FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS – N/A
6. MEET CITY MANAGER/TCDA EXEC DIRECTOR
Brent Stockwell briefly introduced himself and his background noting he previously worked as the
Assistant City Manager in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since he started in Tigard on June 1, 2025, he has been
busy attending events and meeting with business leaders and community members.
7. TCAC UPCOMING RECRUITMENT
Sean noted there will be a couple openings next year and he encouraged Commissioners to spread the
word with community members that might be interested in joining.
8. DOWNTOWN WAYFINDING PLAN
Windol and Sean gave a brief presentation that included Project Overview, Final Wayfinding Signs, and
the Final Wayfinding Plan (Sign Types and Design Intent Drawings, Sign Programming and Schedule,
and Sign Placement Plan). ODOT required the yellow on street signs to be removed to avoid motorist
confusion. The yellow will remain on the kiosk signs. There are funds budgeted in the CIP to implement
the plan starting this fiscal year. The goal is completion within two years. The plan can be implemented
citywide, but it will start in the Downtown TIF District. The Triangle TIF District would be a likely next
phase. A citywide rollout would require city funds (not TIF.)

9. NICK WILSON MEMORIAL PLAZA MODIFICATION
Sean noted that community members and business owners provided feedback on the concept plan.
There was concern regarding construction impacts given the recent work along Main St. It was also
previously ranked as the lowest priority project by the TCAC. The plan could be tabled for now and
revisited later as the city already owns right-of-way for its construction. The consultants have been tasked
with creating a list of alternative ways to honor Nick Wilson. An option discussed by Commissioners was
to name the public plaza next to Ava after him. Commissioners unanimously agreed to recommend
improving the existing Fanno Creek Trail boardwalk and bike/pedestrian bridge (which are in poor
condition); replacing the bridge decking and boardwalk approaches, adding new decorative bridge
railings; reconfiguring the existing adjacent Main Street crosswalk and bulb-outs to improve Fanno Creek
Trail connections, particularly for cyclists; and restoration and replanting of the Fanno Creek banks
between the two bridges.
10. TRIANGLE TOUR DEBRIEF
Commissioners discussed their experiences on the tour. It was noted that TTAC members enjoyed the
collaboration. The lack of sidewalks and lack of access from the parking to the sidewalk along SW 72nd
Avenue, the REACH project, and development of the former Regal site were highlighted.
11. 72ND AVE REDEVELOPMENT SITE NEXT STEPS
Sean noted the memo contained with the Agenda. Steps will be taken to secure the project as dumping of
garbage has become an issue. Community engagement begins in late October onsite, at community
events, and at nearby apartment complexes. TCDA will be briefed early next year on results of the
outreach.
12. PROJECT UPDATES
Sean briefly reviewed the updates included with the Agenda.
13. LIAISON REPORTS
A. Patty provided a CHART update noting there are currently six households (eight people) utilizing
the Safe parking spots and two churches interested in hosting Safe parking spots.
B. John stated Family Promise is seeking new board members.
C. Chris noted that the TDA Street Fair is on September 14 from 10 am to 3 pm.
