Gaarde Street Improvements – Phase I; City of Tigard, OR
As part of the storm water
quality improvements for this newly constructed street for the
City of Tigard, a passive flow-through stormwater filtration
system was installed. The manufactured system known as
StormFilter uses rechargeable cartridges filled with media in a
precast concrete vault to remove sediments, phosphorus, soluble
metals and oil & grease. The facility was constructed to
provide water quality improvements downstream of an oversized
pipe and sumped manhole with an orificed outlet pipe. The pipe
was used to detain post constructed flows to insure they were
no greater than the preconstructed conditions during
predetermined storm events. The work involved sizing the pipe,
orifices and StormFilter vault to insure sufficient residence
time was possible to attain the desired treatment results.

to accommodate left hand turn lanes with a new traffic signal
on the north end of the project. Public involvement was
generated on this project from the local neighborhood
association via two design review meetings to receive input and
modify the drawings accordingly. In addition the design team
coordinated with the Salem School District and individual
property owners along the street, when necessary, to discuss
impacts and develop a design that fit with the needs of the

of waterline. The project has an estimated construction cost of
approximately $1.1 million.
School Loop Conceptual Traffic Plan; Reardan, WA
The traffic plan involved evaluating vehicle and pedestrian traffic patterns surrounding the local K-12 school campus. The existing roadway and sidewalk were in poor condition with poorly defined pedestrian travel routes and parking areas. Century West met with Town and School District staff to identify issues and concerns that needed to be addressed as part of any improvements. Alternatives were developed for improving vehicle and pedestrian traffic flows and improving event parking for the campus. A preferred improvement plan was developed with a list of potential funding sources from federal, state, and local agencies. Long term improvement goals were identified for expanding the Town‘s sidewalk system for pedestrians. The traffic plan was used as a springboard to jump into the design of the roadway improvement that was funded by a separate TIB grant. The traffic plan was funded by a grant through QUADCO, the Town’s regional transportation planning organization (RTPO).

and grant administration for approximately one mile of Third
Street from SR 2 to the south City limits. The project was
funded through TEA-21 and TIB. The project included
reconstruction of the roadway with new base and asphalt paving,
new curbs, sidewalks and drainage facilities. A ditch that was
adjacent to the roadway was eliminated by installing a large
elliptical corrugated pipe. This greatly improved safety for
both vehicles and pedestrians. A new concrete pedestrian bridge
was installed across a stream and concrete retaining walls were
built along one portion of the new road to prevent encroachment
into the stream channel. Hand railing was installed on the
bridge and retaining walls to eliminate potential safety hazard
to pedestrians. A new concrete railroad crossing was also
installed which provides a smooth durable road surface across
the tracks. Challenges incurred during the project included
conflicts with utilities and soft, unstable subgrade soil.
These issues were resolved quickly during construction and the
project was completed on time and below the allocated budget.
