Ash Street Dog Park Closure
The NEW Burnham Street is under construction and dogs are being "scent" to
other dog parks starting November 1, 2009. At the completion of the project,
the community will have a New Burnham Street and an
improved Ash Street Dog Park.
During construction, please visit one of Tigard's other dog parks:
Summerlake Dog Park - Located in northwest Tigard, south of Scholls Ferry Road
and east of 135th Avenue (11450 SW Winterlake Drive). Summerlake is open daily
dawn to dusk.
Potso Dog Park - Located on Wall Street off Hunziker Street. Potso is open from
4:30 p.m. to dusk on Friday, and dawn to dusk on Saturday and Sunday. Open over
Thanksgiving and Christmas weekend's dawn to dusk.
Burnham Street Project
Construction of the long-awaited Burnham Street improvements has begun!
For years, planning has been underway to rebuild this key route connecting
residents with the Downtown between Hall Boulevard and Main Street.
Over the past two years, the city has been acquiring the necessary right-of-way,
pooling the required funds and gathering public input. The Burnham Street project
will be funded from state gasoline tax, transportation impact fees, and some
urban renewal funds.
Project Schedule
Construction is underway! Access to area businesses will be maintained throughout
construction. The City of Tigard will notify area businesses and
property owners in advance about lane closures, detours and other
temporary disruptions.
Project Design
This will be Tigard’s first “Green Streets” project. One of the “green”
amenities is the use of stormwater treatment planters. Plans call for
widening and reconstructing the roadway and adding on-street parking.
Pedestrian-friendly features include sidewalks, benches, new street
lights, street trees and landscaped gateways.
The Burnham Street project will also:
- Spur future development in the Downtown;
- Connect Ash Street to the Commuter Rail Park & Ride;
- Improve a segment of Ash Street that adjoins Burnham;
- Improve access to the Fanno Creek Park and trail system;
- Open new development sites for jobs, housing and other new uses.
