RESOLUTION NO. 02-
A RESOLUTION OF THE TIGARD CITY COUNCIL ENDORSING PROJECTS FOR THE 04-07
METRO TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (MTIP) APPLICATION AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF TIGARD TO APPLY FOR FUNDS.
WHEREAS, approximately $26 million dollars are available in regional flexible transportation funds for
eligible-projects through the MTIP process; and
WHEREAS, eligible projects include only those projects that are identified in the Regional Transportation
Plan (RTP) financially constrained system, or projects supporting the 2040 Growth Concept that can be
exchanged with an eligible project of similar value and air quality impact; and
WHEREAS, among the projects in the RTP that are also on the financially constrained system, Greenburg
Road and Commuter Rail are two projects that are located within a Regional Center or Town Center; and
WHEREAS, the Washington Square Regional Center Greenbelt Trail is not in the RTP but may be traded
with Oak Street, which is an existing RTP project located within Washington County and will result in no
increase in air quality emissions; and
WHEREAS, the widening of Greenburg road between Washington Square Drive and Tiedeman has
received MTIP funding in past years for Preliminary Engineering and Right of Way Acquisition and the
construction phase is the final phase in this project; and
WHEREAS, the construction of both Greenburg Road and the segment of the Washington Square Regional
Center Greenbelt Trail will begin to implement portions of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan;
and
WHEREAS, the identified and proposed pedestrian improvements in the Tigard Town Center will support
the Commuter Rail station that is to be located in downtown Tigard; and
WHEREAS, the local match requirement for projects within a Regional Center or Town Center is 10.27%
and if the City receives all the funds being requested, this would result in a match of approximately
$268,000 coming from various funds including the TIF fund and the Parks fund, and
WHEREAS, the funds, if approved, would not be allocated until fiscal year 2006-07 allowing ample
time to include these projects into the City's CIP budget.

Drive and Tiedeman (Roadway capacity project)

2. Project: Off-street greenbelt trail between Greenburg Road and Hall Blvd
(Bicycle project)
Estimated cost: $430,020 (City match - $44,163)
Description: The project is located entirely within the Washington Square Regional
Center and will provide a link in the greenbelt trail system concept
adopted as part of the Washington Square Regional Center plan. It
includes a temporary connection to 95th and would follow Ash Creek.
Every attempt would be made to stay out of the wetland areas as
much as possible_ This project is not in the RTP on the financially
constrained system, however, the City proposes to trade Oak Street
(in Washington County) so that there is no net increase in funding
costs. Because this project is for a multi-use path, it is anticipated
that it will result in improved air quality. This proposal is in
accordance with the eligibility requirements and will require approval
from JPACT and the Metro Council.
