Marquam Hill Connector Working Group 4/25 Worksheet Input - DRAFT

After the April 17 working group, members were asked to fill out a worksheet to rank and provide input on the four connector types, based on the current information and discussion. Below is a compilation of these worksheets, which were turned in on April 25. This compilation represents a snapshot of feedback at that time and may not reflect future preferences based on new information. This feedback represents the views and opinions of working group members and does not reflect official organizational positions.

1. Inclined Elevator Pros Cons Access Access  #8 bus connection  Requires additional connection into  Parkway recreation and nature campus via pathway or bus  Centralized dispersal point Budget ($35 – 45 million)  Minimal physical effort Operations  Weather protected  Not fully known cost of O&M Context Environmental  Lower profile than other options  Wildlife crossings Experience  Potential impacts to utilities  Unique and iconic

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 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 (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
