Capital Improvement Projects
What We Build Matters
Together as a community, we’ve invested in essential facilities, services and structures that support your daily life. That’s why the work of building things like roads, parks and water reservoirs for the community gets labeled “public works” – these projects benefit the public, all of us.
Capital Improvement Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is Tigard's 5-year plan for matching the cost of large-scale improvements—like fixing roads, water and sewer systems—to anticipated revenues, like taxes and bonds. Learn more about our projects below.

Project Description
The Kruger Creek Stabilization project will provide stream enhancements and stabilization to Kruger Creek from near its headwaters up Bull Mountain downstream to Gaarde Street.
Why It's Needed
Kruger Creek is experiencing severe erosion in the Bull Mountain area. This erosion is threatening slope stability near existing homes and the safety of sanitary, storm, park and private infrastructure located near the creek. The erosion has been so severe that the city purchased a house located on the eroding creek canyon on Southwest Gallin Court years ago. The excess quantities of soil from the erosion are also causing problems downstream, depositing in lower creek areas, covering trails and impacting infrastructure.
Timeline
FY2021-
Funding Source
Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater funds.
Operation and Maintenance Costs
Additional maintenance will be needed on new stormwater piping. Less maintenance is expected within creek corridor due to stabilization.
Strategic Plan Tie-in
This project relates to Goal 3.2, Action F of the Strategic Plan by protecting and restoring the ecological function of Kruger Creek.
