Urban Design: Strolling Street proposal for program to improve private landscaping areas on
Main Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends the Board of the CCDA approve the Strolling Street program concept.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In 2013 the City of Tigard announced a new strategic plan and vision to become "the most
walkable community in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities enjoy
healthy and interconnected lives." Main Street is one of the city's best opportunities to create
a true "strolling street:" a street that attracts pedestrians with a comfortable and safe walking
experience, buildings with attractive facades and window displays, and areas of visual delight.
The completion of the Main Street Green Street Phase I project will vastly improve the public
realm of the southern half of Main Street (with Phase II on the northern half to follow.)
When completed, the street will feature new landscaping and street trees, safer pedestrian
crossings, new streetlights, street furniture, and public art. Walkers of all ages and abilities will
benefit from the improved streetscape and be drawn to Main Street's shops and restaurants.
Many Main Street properties have privately owned areas between the sidewalk and building
facade. While some have been well-landscaped and cared for, others have been neglected.
There are areas of dead or dying landscaping and damaged paving. There are few
opportunities for seating. These spaces, if left to deteriorate,will detract from the pedestrian
experience.
A new Strolling Street Program can improve these private areas to increase the street's curb
appeal, as well as provide functional spaces for outdoor seating and events. Staff met with
four leading landscape architecture firms to get their input on scoping the program.
The incentive-based Strolling Street program would be a partnership between the
Development Agency and downtown property owners who wish to participate. The program
would be implemented in four stages:
1. In April and May, staff will meet with the owners of key properties in one-on-one meetings
and at a Tigard Downtown Alliance forum to preview the opportunity and encourage
participation.
2. In June/July a landscape architecture/urban design firm will be engaged to analyze existing
conditions and site opportunities along the length of Main Street. They would identify
characteristics that create a positive impression, such as taking advantage of the larger
contiguous properties to create a greater scale of"common" areas and identify those
characteristics that detract from the visual environment, such as signage in poor condition or
exposed trash containers.
3. In August/September, the landscape architecture firm will complete the following work
products to initiate the incentive program:
• Conceptual,illustrative designs of select spaces to illustrate the outcome for the private
realm to include components such as paving, planters, landscape elements, lighting, benches,
and signage.
• A pattern book of examples, components, and a "family of materials" that can be readily
applied to other private frontages.
• An estimate of costs per property.
4. In September/October, a first project or projects will be selected and solicited. Once
selected,
staff and the landscape architects will:
• Meet with the property owner(s) to finalize goals, budget, and schedule.
• Prepare draft design development-level plan.
• Request property owner review and comments on revised plan.
• Prepare the final plan.
• Prepare an estimate of construction costs.
• Assist with bidding and construction administration.
The successful completion of a first project(s) and accompanying publicity will encourage
additional property owners to participate.
To maximize participation, the Agency will cover 80% of the costs to design and install the
landscaping and other elements, with the property owner signing a legal agreement to
maintain the improvements for five years. These details may be fine-tuned as the project
progresses.
Questions such as how the improvements will be constructed {paid by the property owner
and then reimbursed, or paid up front by the Agency) are still being researched. Staff will
consult with the City Attorney to limit the city's liability for the program.
If the Board of the City Center Development Agency approves the program concept,
$50,000 will be requested in the CCDA Budget for FY 2014-15. An RFQ for consultant
assistance will be issued in May,with the project formally kicking off on July 1. If the
requested budget amount is not adopted, a contract will not be executed.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Board of the CCDA could direct staff to develop other options or not pursue the
proposed program.

of all ages and abilities enjoy healthy and interconnected lives." Main Street
in downtown Tigard is the best opportunity to create a true "strolling street" EXISTI
that attracts pedestrians with a comfortable and safe walking experience,
buildings with attractive facades and areas of visual appeal. The Main Street
Green Street project, now underway, will vastly improve the street's public
ROW with new landscaping, street trees,streetlights,furniture, public art and
safer pedestrian crossings. -
The new Strolling Street Program will offer assistance to improve privately
owned areas between the sidewalk and building facade to increase the
street's curb appeal and provide spaces for outdoor seating and events. The
program is a partnership between Tigard's City Center Development Agency "
(CCDA) and interested downtown property owners. The CCDA will cover 80
percent of the cost to design and install landscaping and other elements when
the property owner agrees to maintain the improvements for five years.
