Project Description

This project design takes into consideration the community and lands through which it passes to fill sidewalk gaps along the south side of the roadway and facilitate bicycling along Tigard Street from Gallo Ave to the Fanno Creek trailhead/bridge crossing so that pedestrians and bicyclists will no longer be forced to share the roadway in the vehicle travel lane.
