Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2019 Progress Report
Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2019 Progress Report December 2019 Progress Report i This page intentionally left blank. ii Interstate Bridge Replacement Program December 2, 2019 (Electronic Transmittal Only) The Honorable Governor Inslee The Honorable Kate Brown WA Senate Transportation Committee Oregon Transportation Commission WA House Transportation Committee OR Joint Committee on Transportation Dear Governors, Transportation Commission, and Transportation Committees: On behalf of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), we are pleased to submit the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program status report, as directed by Washington’s 2019-21 transportation budget ESHB 1160, section 306 (24)(e)(iii). The intent of this report is to share activities that have lead up to the beginning of the biennium, accomplishments of the program since funding was made available, and future steps to be completed by the program as it moves forward with the clear support of both states. With the appropriation of $35 million in ESHB 1160 to open a project office and restart work to replace the Interstate Bridge, Governor Inslee and the Washington State Legislature acknowledged the need to renew efforts for replacement of this aging infrastructure. Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) directed ODOT to coordinate with WSDOT on the establishment of a project office. The OTC also allocated $9 million as the state’s initial contribution, and Oregon Legislative leadership appointed members to a Joint Committee on the Interstate Bridge. These actions demonstrate Oregon’s agreement that replacement of the Interstate 5 Bridge is vital. As is conveyed in this report, the program office is working to set this project up for success by working with key partners to build the foundation as we move forward toward project development. -
Deq Site Assessment Program - Strategy Recommendation
DEQ SITE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM - STRATEGY RECOMMENDATION Site Name: Diversified Marine, Inc. Site CERCLIS Number: (none) DEQ ECSI Number: 3759 Site Address: 1801 N Marine Drive Portland, OR 97217 Recommendation By: Steve Fortuna, Site Assessment Section, DEQ Northwest Region Approved By: Sally Puent, Northwest Region Manager for Solid Waste and Site Assessment Sections Date: July 3, 2003 Background and History The subject site is an approximate 0.8 acre parcel in North Portland, on the south shore of North Portland Harbor, about 500 feet west of the Interstate Highway 5 (I-5) bridge over North Portland Harbor (see Figures 1 and 2). Diversified Marine, Inc., has conducted tug boat and barge building, repair, sandblasting, painting, machine shop, bilge removal, and boat and equipment refueling activities at the site under various names since at least 19901. Work is performed inside of an onshore building, on vessels moored in the river along the site, and in a 200-ton floating dry dock at the site. The site first came to the attention of Site Assessment in January 2003 during an evaluation of the adjoining Former Schooner Creek Boat Works site (ECSI #3526; see Figure 3). Between 1991 and 2002, DEQ received a series of Pollution Complaints alleging that boat building and repair activities at the neighboring Former Schooner Creek Boat Works site were releasing petroleum, solvents, fiberglass dust, and paint wastes, that might threatened water quality in North Portland Harbor (the Columbia River). Several of the reported releases were verified through DEQ follow-up inspections although no source could be located for some of the 1 Diversified Marine, Inc., (Kurt Redd, corporate president) was formed in 1986. -

Citizens Advisory Committee Announces Recommendations for Locations of Future Skateparks
NEWS RELEASE CONTACT May 19, 2005 Bryan Aptekar Community Relations Portland Parks & Recreation (503) 823-5594 Citizens Advisory Committee Announces Recommendations for Locations of Future Skateparks Citizens Advisory Committee Recommends 19 Sites Throughout Portland Glenhaven Park Recommended as Site for Next City Skatepark After 18 months, more than two dozen public meetings, and a series of site visits, the SkatePark Leadership Advisory Team (SPLAT) has made its recommendations to Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) for a system of 19 skatepark sites to be developed in the City of Portland. Two of the skateparks will be developed within the next three years, and the rest to follow, as funding permits. SPLAT is a citizens advisory group that was convened in 2003. At their final meeting on May 10th they completed 18 months of work to meet the need for safe, legal recreational opportunities for the city’s estimated 30,000+ skateboarders, freestyle BMX bike riders and other action sport enthusiasts. Advisory Committee Creates Vision for “System of Skateparks” The recommended sites reflect the SPLAT’s vision for a system of skateparks consisting of one regional, several district, and many small neighborhood skatespots. The regional park will be more than 25,000 square feet (sf) in size and would be sited in a non- residential area. The district parks will be at least 10,000 sf (smaller than two tennis courts) and would potentially be covered and lit for extended hours use. The smaller neighborhood skatespots will be typically less than 8,000 sf (the size of one tennis court) and would serve a more limited number of users. -

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.
