Fanno Creek Greenway Trail

Project Summary

The Fanno Creek Greenway Trail is a significant part of the regional trail system. The lack of a direct trail crossing at Hall Boulevard is seen by many as a significant break in the trail system. Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation, the City of Beaverton and the Oregon Department of Transportation with the support of Metro are cooperating to identify a better connection across Hall.

THPRD committee envisions bridge or tunnel for Fanno Creek Trail crossing

^{By Shannon Wells}
^{The Beaverton Valley Times, January 19, 2012}

An advisory committee charged with finding the best way for Fanno Creek Trail users to cross Hall Boulevard sees the solution in terms of up or down, but not around.

The committee narrowed down five options to two for the trail, whose final missing pathway link opened to traffic in December. Concepts involving pedestrian signals, an island or rerouting the trail to nearby intersections were eliminated in favor of a tunnel underneath Hall or a bridge over the busy boulevard.

The committee’s findings were presented at the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District’s Jan. 9 board meeting.

Project Update

^{November 30, 2011}

The Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) had its final meeting on September 28th. Their deliberations led to a decision to forward a Tunnel option and a Bridge option (with a preference for a ramp-style approach rather than a spiral approach) for further consideration. An overview of the project, the considered alternatives, and these two preferred options will be presented to the Beaverton City Council at their next meeting on December 6, 2011.

Below are some updated project materials that may be of interest:

Options have been selected

^{September 29, 2011}

We are in the process of posting the Stakeholder Advisory Committee crossing option decision but thought folks would like to know what decision was reached. The SAC deliberated deeply and decided to forward a Tunnel option and a Bridge option (with a preference for a ramp rather than a spiral).

Those concepts will now be further refined and vetted with surrounding NAC’s, interest groups and various THPRD and City committees and commissions. There will be another public Open House before presenting the results of the public process to the THPRD Board and City Council sometime next spring.

This website will be kept current throughout the process and is a good place to stay on top of project progress.
