Downtown Tigard is a great place to walk. A new walking map and informational signs will make it
even easier and more enjoyable.
Tigard's walking map (partially funded by Metro regional government) is now available.
Free copies are available at city offices, the Tigard Public Library and several local businesses.
If you would like a map mailed to you, email your name/address to Judith Gray
or phone 503-718-2557.
About the project
The City received a grant from Metro's
Regional Transportation Options program to develop
and implement a downtown walking map and wayfinding signage system. The
project's objectives are to:
- Promote walking safety, convenience and general appeal;
- Promote more efficient use of parking (park once);
- Support the vitality of downtown businesses and services;
- Promote stronger connections among downtown businesses, services, civic buildings, and residential neighborhoods.
The Walking Map included two elements in one final product:
- A broadly defined downtown map (approximately ½ mile radius from Transit Center) corresponding
to the Wayfinding system area;
- A larger scale Main Street inset map showing Main Street businesses.
The Wayfinding Signage is expected to be installed later this summer and will include signs
on Fanno Creek Trail and at key intersection/decision points. In the future, an informational
kiosk will be provided in Downtown.
The Map/Wayfinding system area will be generally centered on the Tigard Transit Center and will
encompass a roughly half-mile radius from the center. It will include key origins and destinations
such as the Transit Center, Tigard Public Library, and Tigard Senior Center.
