Project Need: The Fanno Creek Trail is the major non-motorized trail in Washington County paralleling the I-5 and Highway 217 corridor. After completion of the Fanno Creek Trail Connections project, there remains one incomplete segment along the 15- mile route from Bonita Road to Durham Road. A siting study was completed in 2021 which identified the preferred route for the trail. The next step is to complete a project development phase, which will build off of the recently-completed Fanno Creek Trail Alignment Study: Bonita Road to the Tualatin River.

Project Description: The proposed project will provide critical site analysis to prepare for funding, easement acquisition, design, and construction of the most technically-challenging trail gap from Bonita Road to Durham Road. Completion of this critical gap will contribute to the larger regional trail network and it will support the vision statement in Tigard's Strategic Plan: “Tigard: an equitable community that is walkable, healthy, and accessible for everyone.”

Project Funding: Project delivery is being managed through the Oregon Department of Transportation, who is administering the $1,106,705 Regional Flexible Funds (RFFA) grant. The city was also awarded $183,895 from the MSTIP Opportunity Fund.

Operations and Maintenance Impact: No impact from the study. Future trail construction will have impact.

Prioritization: Strategic Vision or Community Promise
