The capital projects detailed below are all projects funded by THPRD's annual operating budget. Current capital projects funded by THPRD's 2008 bond measure are listed separately and detailed here.
Fanno Creek Trail — Hall Blvd Crossing
In 2007, THPRD was awarded $359,000 in MTIP (Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program) funds from Metro to undertake a feasibility study. This study is intended to identify a preferred crossing option of Hall Boulevard for the Fanno Creek Regional Trail. These funds became available in late 2009 and THPRD is currently working with Metro and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) on an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that will initiate the start of the project once approved by all 3 agencies.
This study is intended to review 3 to 4 options and to ultimately determine a preferred crossing option of Hall Boulevard for the Fanno Creek Regional Trail. In addition to technical research and analysis of previous planning efforts, this project will also include an extensive public involvement and outreach process in order to discuss possible options, gain feedback, and build consensus towards a preferred crossing option.
A special website at www.fannocrossinghall.org has been created detailing all of the project information and how you can get involved.
A neighborhood meeting was held on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 where the community had a chance to learn more about the project, see 3D modeling of the different options, ask questions and provide feedback. Details of all previously held meetings can also be found at the website listed above.

Waterhouse Trail - Walker Road Crossing
In 2010, THPRD was awarded a $243,000 from the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian grant. With these funds, THPRD will be able to design and construct a pedestrian crossing at Walker Rd. The crossing will be located just west of Schendel Rd. near Fred Meyer. Once this crossing is complete, combined with the completion of the 2008 bond projects, 4.15 continuous miles will be completed from Springville Road to the Tualatin Hills Nature Park. Staff has begun working on this project with Kittleson & Aassociates. Completion of the crossing in the summer of 2012. Please check back for updated information. To view a plan of the crossing please look in the "Document Center" on the right side of this page.

112th Street Remodel/Maintenance Yard/Athletic Fields
In November 2010 THPRD purchased the old Frito-Lay property at 6220 SW 112th Street, next to Wonderland Park. The 13.67 acre property, now known as the Fanno Creek Service Center, houses a building and has a large open space area.
This location, upon its expected completion in spring 2012, will house the Natural Resources, Planning & Development, Maintenance and Risk & Contract departments.
Renovations include remodeling the building interior to allow for employees to occupy the space, construct a maintenance yard and design and build two athletic fields. One of the athletic fields will be a synthetic turf field for THPRD use. The other field will be the adidas Timbers Training Center field made of natural grass.
