MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO; Transportation Advisory Committee April 7, 1989
FROM: Randall R. Wooley, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Street Bond Project For Main Street
The street bond measure approved last fall included $700,000 for Main Street
access and intersection improvements. The City Center Plan Task Force has now
recommended a City Center Development Plan to the City Council. In their
report, the task force has recommended that the bond funds be used for
replacement of the Main Street bridge over Fanno Creek and for improvements to
the existing Burnham/Main intersection. Bridge replacement would include
widening of the bridge to the standards recommended by the task force for Main
Street and would include creek channel improvements at the bridge as necessary
to comply with the long range Drainage Master Plan and Parks Master Plan.
Remaining funds would be used for the intersection improvements. The
intersection improvements at this time would probably consist primarily of
purchasing and demolishing the existing tavern building and providing some
interim pavement improvements on Burnham Street at the intersection approach.
The interim improvements would be expected to improve intersection capacity and
also to improve sight distance.
The proposed Main Street project is consistent with the recommendations which
the Transportation Advisory Committee had made last June. If the committee
still supports this use of street bond funds, it is appropriate to recommend to
the Council that these projects proceed to construction.
If the Committee and the Council are in agreement on the projects, staff could
begin the process of retaining a design consultant for the bridge and beginning
the right-of-way acquisition process. Construction could then be scheduled for
next summer.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO; Transportation Advisory Committee April 7, 1989
FROM: Randall R. Wooley, City EngineerP(C.
SUBJECT: North Dakota Street CIP Project
The current streets CIP budget includes $50,000 for shoulder improvements along
the north side of S.W. North Dakota Street between Fanno Creek and 114th
Avenue. The project is intended to improve safety along this street by
providing a shoulder area for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Engineering staff have nearly completed the design of this project and are
working with adjoining property owners to resolve some remaining conflicts. It
has been necessary to revise our original design somewhat in order to better
accommodate the desires of the adjoining property owners and to save existing
trees and landscaping where possible. The result has been a need to install
more storm drain piping and less open ditching than we had originally intended.
As a result, there has been some increase in the project cost.
Our recent bid opening for the McDonald Street bikeway project has indicated to
us that contractors are busy this spring and not especially interested in
bidding on small shoulder improvement jobs such as the North Dakota project.
Therefore, we are anticipating higher bid prices than we had previously
estimated. We now estimate that the project construction costs will be
approximately $70,000.
The Transportation Advisory Committee had previously given the North Dakota
shoulder project a high priority due to the critical safety needs along this
street and the increasing traffic volumes. We see no practical way to reduce
the project costs and still accomplish the Committee's goal. Therefore, we
recommend that the project proceed. I foresee no problem in identifying the
additional $20,000 needed to fund the project. However, it will mean that the
potential funding for new projects in the 1989-90 budget will be decreased
somewhat.
Prior to proceeding to bid on this project, we request Committee concurrence
that the project should proceed.
