Yes, however it is a long-range plan. Some projects will take longer than others depending on a variety of factors including project cost and availability of funding. To be designed and built, TSP projects must be added to Tigard’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which is prioritized every other year. CIP projects are reliant on local funding and/or competitive funding available through regional, state, and federal programs. Alternatively, some TSP projects will be built incrementally through private development.
