Tiedeman Avenue Multimodal Study

What should Tiedeman Avenue Look Like?

The City’s Transportation System Plan envisions Tiedeman Avenue as a complete street, maintaining one lane for cars in each direction, but adding sidewalks and bike facilities where gaps exist today.  Tiedeman Avenue provides access to Fowler Middle School, the Fanno Creek Trail, Dirksen Nature Park, and Woodward Park. Most of Tiedeman Avenue has approximately 55 feet of right-of-way (ROW) to plan for future improvements. 

The wide range of ages and travel purposes of people walking and biking in this corridor mean there are a range of potential roadway cross-sections for Tiedeman Avenue. Five options are being considered that generally fit within the available right-of-way. Each option provides pedestrian and biking facilities, but the type of facility (such as sidewalk, bike lanes, or multi-use path) varies and if both sides of the street are the same. Please review the options being considered and answer a few questions to help us understand what would make you or your family most likely to walk or bike on Tiedeman Avenue.
