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'.
