Project Description

This is a Washington County Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP) funded project to provide a complete street design eliminating sidewalk and bike lane gaps, adding pedestrian lighting and crossing safety improvements, providing protected bike lanes, and creating a more useable space for non-motorized modes while maintaining auto travel capacity. This project will provide safe and comfortable travel for all modes and all users, regardless of age or ability. The project would address deficiencies identified in the Washington County First Mile Last Mile Study, address deficiencies identified in the TriMet Pedestrian Plan, and fill significant active transportation infrastructure gaps in the regional pedestrian and bicycle network.

Project Need

The segment of SW Greenburg Road between SW Hall Boulevard and Highway 217 is under the jurisdiction of Washington County and classified as an arterial street. The City of Tigard completed a study of Greenburg Road in 2021 which provided recommendations, adopted in the 2040 Transportation System Plan, for improving the street to meet current Complete Street Design Criteria and better serve the community.

Project Funding

Washington County is managing and providing the majority of the funding for this project under the County Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP).

Operations and Maintenance Impact

The street is currently under Washington County jurisdiction for maintenance. The city has interest in a jurisdictional transfer of the street, which would result in an increased cost for maintenance due to the added assets into city inventory.
