Project Background:
The City of Troutdale is excited to announce the Main Streets on Halsey Development Code Audit—a project that will shape how our beloved corridor grows and evolves. This effort builds upon previous Main Streets on Halsey projects that started in 2017 between the three Cities of Wood Village, Fairview, and Troutdale. All three Cities collaborated to revamp the Halsey Corridor with new design standards to promote a livelier and more pedestrian friendly environment. This project takes what we have learned from previous planning efforts and focuses on refining the Troutdale Development Code to better support walkable, vibrant, and human-centered design along the Halsey Corridor.
Project Purpose & Objectives
What’s the ultimate goal of the Main Streets on Halsey Code Audit?
The goal of this project is to create development code language in the form of design standards that create a more inviting, cohesive, and adaptable corridor—one that reflects the values of the community and encourages small business growth, neighborhood-friendly development, and a true sense of place.
Specific Goals
- Align development regulations with Troutdale’s Vision
- Create opportunities for housing and small business
- Make Halsey a more attractive and pedestrian-friendly destination
- Ensure design standards reflect community values
