Contents of the Plan• Executive Summary• Planning Framework• Existing Conditions• Greenway Trails Classification System• Trail Design Guidelines• Evaluation Process• Recommended Projects• Implementation Plan• Appendices
– Public Input– Initial Alignment Feasibility Assessment– Initial Environmental Assessment
Vision & ObjectivesGreenway Trails are a key component of the non-motorized transportation network; these trails facilitate connections to local destinations, and connect Tigard residents to the region’s extensive trail network.
Plan Objectives:• Increase opportunities for walking, bicycling, and
accessing transit• Create a framework for implementing the
remaining sections of the greenway trail system• Identify locations for potential new greenway trails
Planning Process
• Project Website – Interactive Map &
Comment Tool
• Neighborhood Surveys
• Open Houses
• Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC)
