  • Thin Overlay Bituminous Macadam for the Control of Reflex Cracking
    Thin Overlay Bituminous Macadam for the Control of Reflex Cracking ROBERT D. JOHNSON, Maine Aeronautics Commission •REFLEX CRACKING in pavement overlays has been an extensive problem, often with an unsatisfactory solution. This problem is brought about by attempts to correct another far-reaching problem-old pavement in need of rehabilitation. Both problems now exist in practically all pavements. Determination of a satisfactory solution to these problems has been one of the most pressing demands on airport owners and the Aeronautics Commission in Maine for the past 10 years. Pavements in concern, for the most part, have been over 20-years-old, have re­ tained their general shape, but are severely cracked. The cracks commonly prevail in two directions-longitudinally with a reasonably consistent pattern and straight align­ ment, and transversely with a very irregular pattern and irregular alignment. The width of the cracks is most often from ½ to ¾ in. PREVIOUS METHODS One method used extensively to rectify badly cracked pavements was to clean the cracks with a router, or by some other means, and then fill them by successive ap­ plications of asphalt and sand. This often was followed by a seal coat or bituminous concrete overlay 1 to 2 in. in thickness. Another method used to some extent was, after routing, to fill the cracks with a rub­ ber asphalt or synthetic and then apply a seal coat or bituminous concrete overlay. A third method was to fill the cracks with either asphalt and sand, rubber asphalt or synthetics and then apply a bituminous concrete overlay, 1 to 3 in.

  • White Paper: Urban Application of Aerial Cableway Technology
    WHITE PAPER: URBAN APPLICATION OF AERIAL CABLEWAY TECHNOLOGY WSP USA | June 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WSP USA is pleased to present the following white paper that summarizes the benefits and items for consideration of aerial cableway technology; outlines the project development process; and addresses advantages, costs and challenges associated with developing aerial cableway systems in urban environments. Urban applications of aerial cableway technology have been successfully integrated into transit networks in numerous cities around the globe, including the Portland Aerial Tram (Portland, Oregon) and Roosevelt Island Tram (New York, NY). Interest in aerial cableway technology has grown considerably in the United States in recent years, and initial feasibility studies have been completed in several U.S. cities, including San Diego, CA; Washington DC; and Brooklyn, NY. WSP is evaluating aerial cableway technology as an innovative first- and last-mile connection to regional transit in urban areas. Aerial cableway technology offers multiple benefits, including: relatively lower costs compared to other transportation modes, the ability to overcome significant changes in topography and other obstacles in natural and man-made environments, the ability to bypass congested roadways and transportation corridors, the ability to move high volumes of passengers: the equivalent of one city bus every minute, a streamlined design that fits into the urban environment, the potential to integrate transit-oriented development (TOD) near stations, and the ability to provide service between residential areas and key destinations. Many of these benefits have been realized in existing systems in La Paz, Bolivia, and Medellin, Colombia. Specifically, Medellin’s Line K transports more than 40,000 passengers per day between residential areas and the city center, reducing some commute times from more than an hour to approximately 10 minutes.

  • Streetcar Plan Posters
    WELCOME Welcome! The purpose of this open house is to present draft recommendations from the Bicycle Master Plan and the Streetcar System Plan to the public. City sta! and citizen volunteers are here to present the material and to answer questions. The room is divided into three sections: one for the Bicycle Master Plan, one for the Streetcar System Plan, and one called “Integration Station,” where we tie the two concepts together. Refreshments and child care services are also available. The bicycle and streetcar networks will play a key role in Portland’s future. Together, they will reduce reliance on the automobile for daily tasks, they will reinforce urban land use patterns, and they will help the City achieve its goals to combat climate change. This is the beginning of a transportation transformation. WHY PLAN? PORTLAND HAS A HISTORY OF SUCCESSFUL LONG-RANGE PLANNING In 1904, landscape architect John C. Olmsted produced a report for the City Among the parks that resulted from the Olmsted Plan are Holladay Park, Irving Parks Board. The plan served as a blueprint for development of the highly Park, Mt. Tabor (shown above), Overlook Park, Rocky Butte, Sellwood Park, valued park system we enjoy today. Washington Park, and several others.
