Portland Bureau of Transportation FY 2018-19 Requested Budget TABLE OF CONTENTS Commissioner’s Transmittal Letter Bureau Budget Advisory Committee (BBAC) Report Portland Bureau of Transportation Organization Chart Bureau Summary Capital Budget Programs Administration and Support Capital Improvements Maintenance Operations Performance Measures Summary of Bureau Budget CIP Summary FTE Summary Appendix Fund Summaries Capital Improvement Plan Summaries Decision Package Summary Transportation Operating Fund Financial Forecast Parking Facilities Fund Financial Forecast Budget Equity Assessment Tool FY 2018-19 to FY 2022-23 CIP List Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Dear Transportation Commissioner Saltzman, Mayor Wheeler, and Commissioners Eudaly, Fish, and Fritz: The PBOT Budget/Bureau Advisory Committee (BBAC) is a collection of individuals representing a range of interests impacted by transportation decisions, including neighborhoods, businesses, labor, bicyclists and pedestrians, and traditionally underserved communities. We serve on the BBAC as volunteers who have our city’s best interests in mind. With helpful support from the Director and her staff, we have spent many hours over the last five months reviewing the Bureau’s obligations and deliberating over its budget and strategy priorities. Together we have arrived at the following recommendations. Investment Strategy: The Bureau’s proposed Investment Strategy prioritizes funding projects that address three primary concerns: maintaining existing assets, managing for growth, and advancing safety. Underlying the selection and evaluation process is the Bureau’s laudable focus on equity. We support the adoption of this “triple-win” strategy. We are pleased to see safety and equity as top priorities of the Director and her staff. The City has been allocated transportation funding as a result of the Oregon Legislature passing the historic Oregon Transportation Package in House Bill 2017. -

Background Region 1 Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland
Oregon Department of Transportation Background Region 1 Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland 1. What type of bad weather equipment does ODOT have (# of snowplows, gravel droppers, etc)? In the Portland metro area, including Mount Hood, I-84 to Hood River, U.S. 30 through Clatskanie and the Sunset Highway past Manning: 120 maintenance personnel (plus additional others who used to be in maintenance and still volunteer, when needed!); 50+ dump trucks mounted with (a) snow plow; or (b) sand spreader; or (c) chemical de-icing agent spreader; or (d) some combination of the other three. ODOT also has about a half dozen road graders, used in the winter to plow snow and remove ice. And, to nitpick a point: ODOT doesn’t spread gravel; we spread sand. Please see #3 & footnote! For updated information on highway work and current travel information throughout Oregon, visit www.tripcheck.com or call the Oregon road report at 511 or (800) 977-6368 Visit the ODOT News Media Center at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/COMM/ Background: Q&A: ODOT Winter Preparations & Operations—Portland Page 2 2. What roads create the most problems for drivers when the weather is icy or snowy? In the Portland metro area, four sections of roadway traditionally see the most trouble from ice, snow and extreme cold: a. Sylvan Hill on U.S. 26, both directions—but people have more trouble going uphill; b. Breeze Hill on northbound Interstate 5—the area where there’s an extra truck lane from Oregon 99W up and over the hill toward that long straight-away before you get into the Terwilliger Curves; and c. -
Service Alerts – Digital Displays
Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.

HOWARD The Marguam Bridge in Portland, Oregon, provides a crossing CONDITION OF DECK AND JOINTS of the Willamette River for the north-south 1-5 freeway. After 17 yr of service, the bridge, which was opened to traffic in Prior to and after award of the contract, surveys were made 1966, had a badly worn deck and numerous deck expansion to determine the extent of work needed to be done. (Overlay joints in need of repair. The bridge has a daily traffic count contract was awarded May 10, 1983.) Both surveys found of approximately 86,000 vehicles. Because of lack of capacity of detour routes, complete closure to traffic could be permitted significant wear throughout the structure, with a number of only during night hours. To correct the deck and joint prob spans that had the top mat of reinforcing exposed and a num lems, a contract was awarded in May 1983 for a latex-modified ber of locations with loose angles at the joints (Figures 4 and concrete overlay and joint repair.

Ross Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project Frequently Asked Questions
Ross Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project Frequently Asked Questions What does the project involve? Starting in October 2014, contractors will remove about 250 deteriorating rivets and upgrade the steels members. This first phase will take six to eight weeks to complete. In the spring of 2015, crews will begin preparations to paint the bridge. This involves stripping old paint down to the bare steel, treating the bare steel for rust and then applying the new paint. Why paint the Ross Island Bridge? The paint on the U.S. 26 Willamette River Bridge (Ross Island Bridge) has deteriorated and no longer provides the necessary corrosion protection and aesthetic appearance. The bridge was last painted in 1967. This work will preserve its structural integrity and help extend its useful life. Why do the rivets need to be removed? Many of the rivets haven’t been replaced since the bridge opened in 1926 and are being removed because of rust and corrosion. Removing and replacing the rivets will help strengthen the bridge, preserve its structural stability and extend its service life. What’s the schedule? Rivet removal will take place in the fall of 2014 and will require six to eight weeks to complete. The painting will take place in the dry season, spring to fall, in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2017, although the schedule is subject to change due to weather and site conditions. What are the work hours? The rivet work will occur during the day between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. -

August 8 2010 60+ Events
cElEbrAtinG thE bridGES thAt cOnnEct uS All July 23 — AuGuSt 8 2010 60+ events. More than two dozen bands, DJs, and performers. Over 150 artists. 24 films. One historic picnic. And a few unavoidably large art installations. All of it taking place at more than 27 venues around the city. This is the PDX Bridge Festival by the numbers—but you’ll quickly realize as you explore this festival guide, we are more than a string of numbers. Much more. In 2010, our inaugural year, our goal is to celebrate what makes Portland a great city in which to live, work, play, and create — by celebrating the bridges that connect us all. We created a civic celebration to engage Portlanders on their own cultural terms, and we hope that you’ll support it. We founded the PDX Bridge Festival as a nonprofit organization dedicated to marking the centennials of our Willamette River Bridges. This year, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Hawthorne Bridge, whose iconic span has carried many, many millions of horses, buggies, streetcars, Model Ts, Studebakers, semi trucks, Trimet buses, hybrid vehicles, bicycles, and feet across the river that runs through the heart our city. No matter who you are, we believe that somewhere in these pages you’ll find something that sparks your interest, whether it be a storytelling tour of the river and its bridges, a free outdoor concert, a bohemian circus, groundbreaking work by a local artist, an engaging speaker, an interactive installation along your daily commute, or even a film with Jeff Bridges.
