ABOUT THE COVER – BURNHAM STREET COMPLETION<br />
Burnham Street is one <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Tigard</strong>’s oldest streets. Before becoming the city’s first “green” street,<br />
it was in great need <strong>of</strong> an overhaul including rebuilding the sewer, water, utilities and pavement.<br />
The need to repair the street also provided the opportunity to add “green” features like storm water<br />
treatment areas upstream <strong>of</strong> Fanno Creek and installing LED street lights. The street now provides<br />
an entrance to downtown that is safe for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists – reflecting the city’s<br />
values and aspirations. It reopened with a celebration on July 24, 2011.<br />
Funding for this project came from multiple sources including Gas Tax, Transportation Development<br />
Tax, Traffic Impact Fees, Underground Utility Fees, the Water <strong>Capital</strong> <strong>Improvement</strong> Program, and<br />
Urban Renewal. The project was completed for just over $4 million, half <strong>of</strong> the original estimate,<br />
due to an exceptional bidding climate.<br />
