Area of Disagreement: Landing Point
While there is considerable agreement about the preference for an inclined elevator, working group members’ preferences for an upper terminus location are split, as reflected in the worksheets:
Terminus East of Terwilliger Terminus West of Terwilliger Jeb Doran of TriMet Teresa Boyle of PBOT Alignment #2 - Conceptual Section Hillary Adams of BDS Don Baack of SW Trails Michael Harrison of OHSU Anton Vetterlein of Friends of Terwilliger Brett Horner of PP&R Ed Fischer of Homestead NA John Dodier of VA Hospital Jim Gardner of South Portland NA Reasoning for Landing Choice Minimizes cost Undercrossing reduces modal conflicts on Terwilliger Minimizes construction risks Maintains historic character of Parkway Improves at-grade crossing Lands closer to Hill destinations Terwilliger Blvd
Terwilliger Trail Mechanical Room Design Preferences
Minimize footprint and avoid utility relocation Include stairway in close proximity Fencing may be desired to prevent vandalism Use architectural elements to blend with parkway & natural setting (minimal fencing) where guideway is closer to the ground Minimize removal of high value trees Restore viewpoints eastward Intersection design to fit Parkway character May not need fencing where structure is high In undercrossing, consider capping with vegetation off the ground Consider additional connection opportunities further west such as: Better elevator access through OHSU buildings (CEI garage or hospital expansion) Frequent circulating campus bus or shuttle Marquam Hill Green Ribbon Committee | Marquam Hill Connector Options & Evaluation | April 10, 2019 | Page 3 Option 2: Bridge + Elevators
