Public schools at disadvantage The Renaissance School sounds like a wonderful place to be a student or a teacher. Isn’t it amazing what two public school teachers can do with a 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio and the freedom to do what they know is right for kids? Unfortunately, many public schools have ratios of 30-plus to 1, and the curriculum becomes more rigid all the time. Urban renewal: Amy Robbins NW Reeder Rd.

  • Interstate 5 Columbia River Crossing
    I NTERSTATE 5 C OLUMBIA R IVER C ROSSING Neighborhoods and Population Technical Report May 2008 TO: Readers of the CRC Technical Reports FROM: CRC Project Team SUBJECT: Differences between CRC DEIS and Technical Reports The I-5 Columbia River Crossing (CRC) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) presents information summarized from numerous technical documents. Most of these documents are discipline- specific technical reports (e.g., archeology, noise and vibration, navigation, etc.). These reports include a detailed explanation of the data gathering and analytical methods used by each discipline team. The methodologies were reviewed by federal, state and local agencies before analysis began. The technical reports are longer and more detailed than the DEIS and should be referred to for information beyond that which is presented in the DEIS. For example, findings summarized in the DEIS are supported by analysis in the technical reports and their appendices. The DEIS organizes the range of alternatives differently than the technical reports. Although the information contained in the DEIS was derived from the analyses documented in the technical reports, this information is organized differently in the DEIS than in the reports. The following explains these differences. The following details the significant differences between how alternatives are described, terminology, and how impacts are organized in the DEIS and in most technical reports so that readers of the DEIS can understand where to look for information in the technical reports. Some technical reports do not exhibit all these differences from the DEIS. Difference #1: Description of Alternatives The first difference readers of the technical reports are likely to discover is that the full alternatives are packaged differently than in the DEIS.

The Chicago Style is known for steel-frame construction, often clad with terra cotta; grid style windows; and, a distinct base, mid-section, and “cap” with ornamental detailing. Each of these features are exemplified with the Alderway Building. Formerly the Pantages Theater - and later, the Music Box, the steel frame of the self-proclaimed “fire proof” building was retained by Clausen & Clausen during its extensive late 1920s remodel for F.G. “Fred” Meyer. Clausen & Clausen, transplants to Portland from Chicago shortly after the Lewis & Clark Exposition of 1905, were also the architects of the Heathman and Roosevelt Hotels, several Fred Meyer retail stores, and many other prominent Portland buildings of the 1920s-1940s. Today, the building houses three stories of office space above four ground floor retail spaces. Existing retail tenants include OpusBank, Kassab Jewelers, and Zelda’s Shoe Bar. There is currently one 1,545 square foot retail space available fronting SW Alder Street that features full restaurant venting with a hood as well as near-full height windows across the length of the storefront.

The bridge is required to provide the residents of the NW District and the Pearl District a safer active crossing over I‐405. Sixe alternativ designs were developed and assessed by both PBOT and Community stakeholders using the Sustainable Development principles of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL). This approach places equal emphasis on how the bridge design affects the equity of its constituents, the natural and built environment, and short and long term economics of the project. This approach is also known as balancing the needs of the 3 P’s: People, Planet and Prosperity. It was recognized that in addition to selecting a bridge design that best satisfies the established TBL criteria, the bridge should also be able to function as an alternate seismic resilient route for emergency vehicles following an earthquake. Artist rendering of Flanders Crossing Preferred Alternative C After analyzing the feedback from the multi‐disciplined evaluation team, the preferred alternative was identified as ALTERNATIVE C – a 24 ft.

The steering committee met monthly over the course of a year to discuss the future of the Pearl District, to re-evaluate current plans and policies, and to focus on the development priorities for the neighborhood. In addition to the steering committee, an executive commit- tee met in between the steering committee meetings to provide advice on the plan- ning process and to make initial recommendations to the steering committee A draft vision statement and an initial set of goals and objectives were presented and reviewed at a public open house on December 6. The open house format of the meeting allowed participants to comment on a series of display stations for the vision statement and each category of goals and objectives (i.e. Built Environment, Housing, Transportation, etc.). The steering committee made changes to the vision statement and goals and objec- tives based on the open house comments. Each category or section was then sent to an adhoc subcommittee, which included other community members.

We typically submit a letter addressing budgetary issues and priorities as part of the Bureau’s budget submission. This year the City implemented a new budget process that encourages stronger accountability by linking resources to program goals and performance metrics. PBOT staff have endeavored to provide BBAC with the most up to date information regarding the budget and BBAC members applaud the new approach. Unfortunately, as of our last meeting on January 17th, the information the BBAC needs to evaluate PBOT’s 2019 - 20 budget request was not yet available. After we have received and reviewed the necessary information thoroughly, we will send a letter with our recommendations. For future budget cycles, we strongly urge the City and PBOT to provide sufficient time for meaningful public input, consistent with the City's goals for equity and accountability.

    Livable Portland Land Use and Transportation Initiatives November 2010 Capital Projects 710 NE Holladay Street Portland, OR 97232 503-962-2150 trimet.org Preface At TriMet, we are proud of our contribution to the livability of the Portland region. We have seen enormous growth here since 1969 when the agency was formed. In that time, due to numerous visionary leaders and passionate citizen involvement that increases with each passing year, this region has made great strides in enhancing our sustainability, livability and economic vitality. One of the key tools in making this work has been to integrate land use and transportation planning, policy and development. TriMet’s role is to provide service across our district in ways that encourage the kind of growth this region has said it wants to accommodate in 2040. The result of this marriage of smart transportation investments—particularly transit— and land use planning is more compact, efficient cities that are easier to serve with non-automobile transportation modes. A fundamental measure of our success is whether more people can conveniently meet their needs Neil McFarlane by walking, rolling, biking or transit without adding to traffic congestion, TriMet General Manager emissions and other local, regional and global impacts. Reliable and frequent bus, light rail and streetcar service, combined with attention to bicycle and pedestrian mobility, make it possible for more and more people to choose not to drive for many or all of their daily needs. The numbers tell the story of this region’s success. Between 1997 and 2007, TriMet ridership grew faster than the region’s population, the amount of service we provide, and the number of miles that people drove.
