Washington County’s Department of Land Use and Transportation and the City of Tigard invite the public to attend an Open House on Thursday, October 17 for the Walnut Street improvement project. The event will be held at Charles F. Tigard Elementary School, 12855 SW Grant Avenue, Tigard. The public is welcome to stop by anytime between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. to learn more about the proposed project design. No formal presentation is planned. Project staff from Washington County and the City of Tigard will be available to answer questions and to solicit comments.

This project will improve Walnut Street between 116th Avenue and Tiedeman Avenue and the intersection of Walnut Street and 135th Avenue.
