Study the area of Greenburg Road, Tiedeman Avenue, and North Dakota Street to increase safety and promote the “Complete Streets” design concept. The study will review options for adding sidewalks, bike lanes, turn lanes, and complete storm drainage gaps.

WHY IT’S NEEDED: There is a high crash rate along Greenburg Road from Tiedeman Avenue up to Highway 217. Significant traffic congestion occurs, particularly during the morning rush hour. Other issues include the lack of bike lanes on Greenburg Road and North Dakota Street between Tiedeman Avenue and the Fanno Creek Trail; narrow curb-tight sidewalk along Greenburg Road; and the lack of walking space, bike lanes, and storm drainage along Tiedeman Avenue and North Dakota Street approaching Greenburg Road.

STRATEGIC PLAN TIE-IN: This project supports the vision statement in the City of Tigard’s Strategic Plan: “Tigard: An equitable community that is walkable, healthy, and accessible for everyone.” The project also ties into the goal to create a well-connected, attractive, and accessible pedestrian network. The project also ties into the goals of ensuring development and growth support the city’s vision and implementing the Complete Streets policy.

TIMELINE:  FY22-

FUNDING SOURCE: The city Gas Tax fund and the Transportation Development Tax. The study is shown as fully funded.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS: The study phase will not have an increased cost for operations and maintenance. It is anticipated the study will confirm the need for additional pavement, sidewalks, and striping, which will increase cost for maintenance after construction.
