PROBLEM Main Street, the historic center of Tigard, has .in recent years languished, and growth on the street has fai-led to keep pace with the growth in the Tigard area. It's role as the center of Tigard is challenged by the growth along Pacific Highway. More important its _ -Future as part of a town center, with a balance of vital commercial, civic, social and cultural activities will, if present forces continue`, be lost. Following are some factors which are preventing further growth and use of the.area (a) Access from Pacific Highway which never was adequately planned, grows more and more difficult and hazardous. (b) The internal functioning of the street itself is inadequate. Shopping Centers which provide not only easy access, but"convenient off-street parking, a concentrated variety of attractive shops, the pedestrian ammenities of landscaping, benches, walks, etc. have proven themselves much more "inviting. (c) Numerous other factors such as the railroad tracks, decrepitness of some buildings, overhead telephone andpowerlines, etc. add totheur_liveableand unworkable qualities of the street: Tigard's problems are not unique., In seeking solutions to these problems much can be learned from the successes and failures; of other towns- The dilemma of most city centers 'today, both large and small, is that they are attracting within their cores more and more cars and yet less and less people., The history of city planning since World War II has been largely one of dealing with this problem. The automobile with its great demands on 'space tends to destroy the important compact qualities of a city center. The distance between buildings is increased by roadways, parking lots, and service garages. The farther the distances between the buildings, the greater, the reliance on the automobile for circulation. This greater use of the car calls for additional space to move and store cars. Hence, a further separation that puts still ° more buildings and uses out of `pedestrian range. This endless chain has been called "reverse feedback" and is perhaps ;the major cause for the blight and unworkable quality of our city centers. The car, whose purpose it is to increase :our freedom of movement; has in the confines of our city centers tended ;to do just the opposite. At the same time, the most efficient and suitable means of traffic within a core, pedestrianism, has been sacrificed. - 1' - To quote from the book "Traffic in Towns" vahi;c i is in part a study of this dilemma: Closely associated with the quality of the environment is freedom of pedestrian movement. The simple act of walking plays an indispensable part in the transport system of any town. Tiere is nothing fanciful in this statement, walking accounts for many medium-distance movements, vir- tually all the final distribution from bus .stops and car parks, and avast amount of casual coming and going. Nor is it to be discounted as a medium for the carriage of goods. It is, therefore, common ' sense that pedestrian movement should be enabled e to take place in reasonable comfort and safety, and this can be said without appearing to be telling people what is good for their health. ;balking is also an integral part of many other matters, such as looking in shop windows, admiring the scene, or talk- ing to people. In all, it does not seem to be far from the truth that the freedom with whi=ch a person can walk about and look around is a very useful guide to the civilized quality of an urban area. Judged against this standard, many of our towns now seem to leave a great deal to be desired. Main Street, :if it is to grow and prosper in the future, ;must develop in such a way that it provides for the entrance, parking and exit of large numbers of automobiles, but at the same time much attention should be given to developing a street that invites and rewards pedestrianism. SOLUTION The ,basic conflict between the automobile (with its hazards to the pedestrian, fumes, noise and space requirements) and the qualities of a good rtown' center can be resolved. This same problem has been dealt with successfully in` scores of shopping centers, indts trial campus plans, college campus plans and other town centers. In every case the same, general approach is used. Automobiles are given easy access and adequate `space to park at the edge of the center, and the center itself is reserved exclusively or primarily for ped- estrians. Thereby maximum or near maximum segregation of + vehicular and pedestrian traffic is achieved. Such centers have, so to speak "the best of both worlds". The automobile is put to its best use as a machine to convey people over distances, and pedestrianism is put to its best use as a means to cover short and medium distance trips. Potain Street, while it lacks the condensation of activities and the supporting road;system to; take' a purely "pedestrian mall" approach, can " however, benefit from some of its lessons. - 2 - Some of these lessons are: '(a) People are drawn to an attractive environment. It is a matter of "app:earance or disappearance" ( as one planner put it. (b) The distances people will walk varies ,greatly with the nature of the environment Subtile factors which invite walking, often outweigh distances. It has been observed that the lazy walker in inclement weather will walk over 1,000 feet in an attractive area. This is 'a distance equal to that between Mote's Pharmacy and the City Hall. (c) People, tend to linger in these areas. . The one purpose trip is extended to two or more stops. (d) These, areas become social centers . They become places where people meet purposely ,and accid- ently. Many regional shopping centers have found to their delight that they have become the cultural and social centers of their towns Main Street is recognized as the center of town today because of the concentration of activities along the street. Our solution recognizes this and attempts to tie these activities together so they can further benefit by their proximity. Our general solution as shown on figure 1 shows a forty foot wide area in the middle of the right-of-way for vehicular traffic and parallel parking. The assumed 70 foot right-of- way would then allow 15 'feet on each side for pedestrian traffic. The 40 foot street width has two 8 foot wide parking lanes and' two '12 foot wide driving lanes. This compares with the typical 36 foot wide street in Portland with two 8 foot wide parking lanes and two 10 foot wide driving lanes. Should MainStreet be called upon to carry four lanes of traffic in the future a 40 foot wide street would-be adequate. Many of the smaller 3,6 foot wide streets in Portland are ,presently , carrying four lanes of traffic. The question of off street parking; must be met if Main Street is to grow. Many cities, realizing this importance have re- quired, through their Planning and Zoning Ordinances, "that each business provide its own off street parking. While this is a solution ,to the problem of storing cars the result in the centers of cities is often one of a patchwork of parking lots and buildings. The overall pattern is inefficient. Cars are not efficiently stores. Buildings are not sufficiently,' close to one another to 'benefit from their mutual association. The-overall- effect -is one of sprawl. Figure` 1 shows proposed parking areas, large in size and located in such a way to allow the buildings on the street to form compact groupings..' Also by locating the parking at the approaches to the street, many cars can be parked without ever entering the street. - 3 It can also be noted that the existing 25 foot wide bridge is called upon to carry two lanes of vehicular_traffic, plus pedestrians . Granting that while today foot traffic is light and the bridge is adequate, some thought must be given to increased use of the street, we have proposed future foot bridges on eitYxer sill of the existing bridge. This would :rove an inexpensive and pleasant solution to the problem of future increased usage of the street. The 12 foot wide traffic lanes could then go uninterrupted the full length of the street. figure 2 is larger in scale than the Fig. 1 and shows some a details of the recommended improvements. The 15 foot average sidewalk width (the same as that on ,the north-south streets in downtown Portland) will be one that invites pedestrian usage. Even at points where the sidewalk will be squeezed down to 10 feet, sufficient effective width will be maintained after placing light poles and other services within the side- walk width. The extension of the sidewalk into the parking lanes at the crosswalks serves two purposes. Most importantly, the� crossing y will be made safer bgiving the F � g' g pedestrian a clearer viewofoncoming vehicles. Secondly, the distance from one side of the street to the other wi_11 seem shortened. People will be invited to cross the street, and will feel assured they can do so safely. If Main Street is to act as a city center, it must draw people not only by its variety of uses, but also by its srewarding environmental qualities . The trees showVin Figure 2 will add a harmonizing and warm quality to ;the street. Other means of landscaping should be used to shield parking areas and service yards. The following improvements should also be undertaken: (a) A new improved street lighting system as shown in Figure 2.; (b) Removal of overhead power and telephone lines by placing them underground or behind buildings. (c) The relocation of the two train team tracks which account for many of the delays at the t;MT'fkv"'� train crossing, and tend to divide the street. gid ,^ (d) Improvement of the appearance of the street. 7° from Pacific highway by shielding of the service areas with landscaping. '£ (e) Locating benches, fountains etc—along the street ' to further humanize the area. _ f The Planning and Zoning Commission feels these recommendations to be in the best interest of the property owners along Main k k3 Street-and of the citizens of Tigard. We urge the City Council r to adopt these recommendations for ;the future development of zsx the street'. + t;j� -4 CITY OF TIGARD TIGARD, OREGON - ME 9.2636. r--r c w;..t Assault Q 15 r'c t _cE4 8 - - n Jas. 1. f LIS 77� lTT a 1iu7_.y. .�:'i�? :�j`�Pl" C.�1�G�{u1.�r .�•, .'i 1. cam. � �, Jjriv2Y;" L*1C,.'?," • y i7,1 't'C E �7 1.
