Ridgewood View Park-Resevoir/Pump Station & Park Improvements

**********NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING**********

The Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) is working on a project to improve the reliability of the water supply for public use and fire protection serving the West Hills area. TVWD and THPRD are partnering together in the hopes of combining the Hyde Park reservoir and Ingleood reservoir at THPRD's Ridgewood View Park. The project will include a newly constructed reservoir and pump station as well as restoring and improving the park.

THPRD and TVWD held a neighborhood meeting on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at Ridgewood Elementary. Based on community feedback, site constraints and budget, staff made appropriate modifications and will be presenting the preferred option on Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 6:00pm at Ridgewood Elementary School in the Multipurpose Room located at 10100 SW Inglewood Street. Staff will then seek THPRD Board of Directors approval of the master plan in order to begin the permitting process.

The preferred option is available for viewing in the "Document Center" on the right side of this page. Staff anticipates construction to begin on the reservoir and pump station in Fall 2014. Click here to view the TVWD project page for additional project details.

Veterans Memorial Park

THPRD staff is working with the City of Beaverton to design a master plan for Veterans Memorial Park. Currently, the site is owned by the City of Beaverton but has been maintained by THPRD since 1961. Eighteen memorials are housed on this once-acre park with seasonal events on Memorial and Veterans Day.

A recent request to incorporate a new memorial on the site triggered the Board of Directors to approve staff to create a master plan for the park. This master plan process will serve as the basis to assess future needs and function of the site as well as define the process in which memorials can be presented and approved. The preferred plan shows areas for future monument development, defines an event seating and staging area and identifies future sidewalk and planter areas.

Staff presented the preferred master plan at a neighborhood meeting on April 11, 2013 at the Elsie Stuhr Center and will see Board of Director approval at the May 6, 2013 Board of Director's meeting. The preferred master plan can be viewed in the "Document Center" on the right side of this page.

Graf Meadows Trail

To improve neighborhood connectivity, THPRD will be constructing a trail to connect two sections of the Graf Meadows residential subdivision. Despite their proximity, the two neighborhoods are divided by a wetland that is impassable a majority of the year. The construction of this hard-surface trail, connecting NW Graf Street and NW Bernietta Court, will allow for safe, year-round passage between the two neighborhoods.

The THPRD Board of Directors approved the Graf Meadows Trail Master Plan on January 14, 2013. Staff will now be working with governing agencies to obtain permits. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2014. You can view the trail alignment under 'Document Center' on the right side of this page.

Westside Trail, Segment #18-Rock Creek Trail to Bronson Creek Trail

THPRD held the first neighborhood meeting for Westside Trail Segment 18 on December 12, 2012. Staff presented the preliminary trail alignment to neighbors and answered questions. You can view the preliminary trail alignment under 'Document Center' on the right side of this page. Based on site contstraints and neighborhood input Staff and consultants refined the alignment and presented the preferred master plan alignment to the THPRD Board of Directors. The board of directors approved the master plan on February 4, 2013. Staff will now begin working with governing agencies to obtain permits.

In 2008, THPRD applied to Metro for Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) funds to assist in the design and construction of a ¾-quarter mile section of the Westside Trail, Segment #18. In 2009, THPRD was awarded $2,399,337 for the project. A portion of the funds became available in October 2011 for master planning and design development (preliminary engineering). THPRD staff worked closely with ODOT staff to select David Evans & Associates (DEA) as the design consultant for the project. The master planning, designing and permitting is expected to take 30 months to complete. Construction of the trail is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2015.

The project marks the first step in completing the Westside Regional Trail north of US Highway 26. The project will construct a ¾-mile section of the Westside Regional Trail between the Rock Creek Trail and the future Bronson Creek Trail, connecting the District’s Kaiser Woods and Hansen Ridge (formerly Kaiser Ridge) Parks in THPRD’s northwest service area. Located in the power line corridor between NW Springville Road and NW Kaiser Road, the 10’ wide proposed trail will also provide connections to adjacent neighborhoods along the corridor.

PCC Rock Creek Dog Park

PCC Rock Creek will receive some new amenities as well as park upgrades. In an effort to respond to the increasing demand of dog parks, THPRD has worked out a lease agreement with PCC Rock Creek to use a portion of their land for a new, off-leash dog park. The dog park will be made up of three separated areas, one for all dogs, one for small dogs and one for winter use.

The dog park will be maintained by THPRD. The fenced dog park is two acres in size and is located at the east side of the PCC Rock Creek Complex on NW Springville Road in the Bethany area. Amenities will include benches, disposal bags and a water fountain.

Construction is anticipated to begin in early summer with a completion date of early fall. The winter use area will be open this year while the other two areas will be open next summer so grass can take root.

If you have any questions regarding the doggie bags, please call the THPRD Maintenance Operations office at 503/629-6360. The bags can be found on the rules and regulations posts at most THPRD parks.
