Street Tree Partnership on Collectors and No 100 $200/caliper inch
Arterials between Public Works and
Community Development'
'Does not include city staff time to manage the program.
2Staff is in discussions with Clean Water Services and ODOT regarding partnering on this project and possible grant
opportunities. This project is on hold pending the outcome of these discussions. The estimated cost is for the city to
complete the project without partners and grant funding.
3In preliminary discussions with the Tigard Tualatin School District,the district has indicated a desire to plant trees at Tigard
High School as part of the city's annual Arbor Day celebrations. However,in the event planting at Tigard High is not
feasible,staff requests flexibility to plant at a different school for Arbor Day.
4Public Works has requested that Community Development utilize the Urban Forestry Fund for street tree planting and 3
years of early establishment on collectors and arterials. Public Works will be performing long-term maintenance using the
right of way portion of the Street Maintenance Fee. Trees will help reduce long-term maintenance of collectors and arterials
by suppressing ground cover competition and reducing the need for mowing and weeding. The first phase of
implementation would likely occur along Durham Road.
