BACKGROUND: The Downtown Street Fair and Latino Festival is an important outreach opportunity.
At the event, Council will be provided outreach materials to spur conversations about
the local option levy. Councilors will be asked to complete a short debrief form to
capture what they heard at the event.
TALKING POINT'S: Our strategic vision is to build a more interconnected, healthier community.
One way the Council is supporting this vision by exploring a Safety Levy in May 2020.
• This levy would fund 10 additional police officers which would benefit the entire
community by:
o Increased time spent on societal issues
o Strengthened connections with all Tigard neighborhoods and schools
o Faster response times
• The levy may also include funding for safety projects near Tigard schools.
• We have a Safe Routes to School program, but it doesn't fund projects.
• Seven projects have been identified and would be completed with levy funding.
• These projects would add ADA curb ramps, rapid flashing beacons, and crosswalks
near schools.
• It would also make Tigard a safer place for everyone to walk and bike.
• Council will decide on a levy proposal based on your input.
• Gathering community input is ongoing.
• Levy Bond Task Force (17 community members) has convened.
You can share input via the survey on Your Tigard https://www.engage.tigard-
or.gov/or email CouncilMail@tigard-or.gov.

City Councilor John Goodbouse,and Tigard City Councilor Heidi Lueb break ground on the new Tigard Street Heritage Trail,
Tigard officials and members of the business community celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking for
the Tigard Street Heritage Trail and Outdoor Museum at the corner of Southwest Main and Tigard
streets Thursday evening,Aug. 29.
The trail will extend from Main Street to Tiedeman Avenue. There is already a "temporary trail" in place, but
the blacktop will be replaced by a 12-foot-wide, more permanent pathway.
"We have trails, and we're proud of them. We have lots of them. But we've never made a trail like this one,"
said Kenny Asher, Tigard's community development director.
The trail links residential neighborhoods north of Southwest Pacific Highway, also signed as Highway 99W,
with downtown Tigard to the south. It passes beneath the highway.
But beyond providing a walking and biking path, Tigard Mayor Jason Snider predicted, the trail will be a local
landmark in its own right.
"In many ways, it's going to be its own destination," Snider said. "This is going to be a place where you want to
bring your family, where you want to experience time to reflect. It's going to be amazing."
The trail is situated along an old railroad spur. It runs parallel to train tracks used by both freight and passenger
trains, including TriMet's WES commuter rail service.
"Today, in many ways, it's being reborn," said Snider of the rail spur. "It's being reborn as another link to
Tigard's growing trail system, providing a long-sought space for community gatherings (and) advancing our
vision to become the most walkable city in the Pacific Northwest."

City of Tigard -TIGARD STREETHERITAGETRAIL ILLUSTRATIVE SCHEMATIC
COURTESY MAP:CITY OF TIGARD-A concept map shows how the 14-mile Tigard Street Heritage Trail will stretch from Southwest Main Street to
Southwest Tiedeman Avenue.
As it approaches Main Street at its southern end, the trail will widen into a paved open space called Rotary
Plaza. The area is named to honor Tigard's two Rotary International clubs and will feature a clock donated by
local Rotarians.
"It's custom-made," said Tom Anderson, a city councilor who is active in the Rotary Club of Tigard, of the
decorative clock. "It's got the Rotary colors and a nice Rotary emblem, and (it) signifies the great things that we
like in the community."
"This clock will remind us not only of the many contributions of our Rotary clubs, but also the history of this
place as the rail station around which Tigard grew," Snider said.
Another partner in the work is the Washington County Museum, which has come up with interpretive signage
for the trail. The city refers to the exhibits that will be set up along a portion of the trail as Tigard's Outdoor
Museum.
"The museum project is going to provide a social connection and a connection to our history, and to the diverse
histories of our region's residents," Asher said.
The Outdoor Museum will also feature public art displays.
"We have made a call to artists for three major public artworks, and so far, we have received 62 entries," said
longtime state Rep. Margaret Doherty, D-Tigard, who was invited to speak at the groundbreaking ceremony.
She sits on the art selection panel for the project. "Artwork, we know, is very, very important to Tigard. The
Outdoor Museum and the trail will exemplify this."
The $1.25 million project is one of the crown jewels of the municipal government's vision for downtown
Tigard, which city and business leaders want to promote as a pedestrian- and bicyclist-friendly mixed-use
district.
Part of the project cost is covered by Connect Oregon, a state-run multimodal transportation grant program.
"1 think this project really exemplifies what the Connect Oregon program is trying to do," said Amanda Pietz,
representing the Oregon Department of Transportation at Thursday's event. "That's about economic
development. So accessing businesses here, really drawing people in and making it that destination, is really
key to what the Connect Oregon program is trying to achieve, and this is a really great way to spend those
resources toward something that benefits the community."
The trail and plaza have been in the works for more than a decade in Tigard, Snider noted. But the time it takes
to actually build them will be a blink of an eye by comparison. With construction getting underway this month,
estimates call for the work to be largely complete by the end of the year.
