Tualatin-Sherwood Road Improvments: Nearing Completion

Gateway feature

Tualatin takes pride in being known as a warm and welcoming community for new businesses, retail shoppers, and residents alike – indeed, this is central to our unique identity.  Nowhere in our community do we welcome more people than on Tualatin-Sherwood Road.

In recognition of Tualatin-Sherwood Road’s prominent presence in our community, the City of Tualatin’s Development Commission and City Council approved a list of improvements to the corridor.  Namely, these enhancements include:

  •  safety upgrades
  • better illumination
  • additional landscaping
  • a new artistic gateway feature.

The Tualatin-Sherwood Road Gateway Selection Committee recommended the selected feature due to its representation of who we are as a community and what we value.  The water feature is intended to integrate the essence of the Tualatin River and communicate Tualatin’s dedication to nature.  The geese were chosen in recognition of the symbolic message they represented in the Native American culture.  Geese embody the definition of community, cooperation, and belonging as they travel together and never leave an ill or wounded bird behind.

A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled on June 25, 2012 at 4 pm to celebrate the completion of the project.
