In earlier times this was done extensively in Portland, which made it easier to impose a “grid” of straight streets there.

  • STUDY AREA #1 HILLSBORO-BETHANY Overview
    STUDY AREA #1 HILLSBORO-BETHANY Overview 2010 2035 Growth Growth % Households 17,614 21,339 3,725 21% Employment 28,491 50,506 22,015 77% Summary About 75% of households are within ½ mile of regional destinations such as schools, shopping centers and major employers – slightly above county urban area average. Employment is expected to increase 77% by 2035, while households increase 21%. HILLSBORO-BETHANY CONNECTIVITY Study Area #1 Findings Street network and intersection density is below county urban area average. Roads and intersections are generally far apart, due in part to large industrial properties in the study area. Roads have relatively few dead-ends or cul-de-sacs. ACTIVE HILLSBORO-BETHANY TRANSPORTATION Study Area #1 Crossing Spacing on Major Streets Average: 0.26 miles Longest: 0.97 miles on Sunset Highway Findings Trail and Sidewalk coverage is better than county urban area average. However, critical gaps remain on Rock Creek and Waterhouse Trails. Bike facility coverage is slightly below county urban area average. Several arterials, including NW 185th Avenue and Cornell and Evergreen Roads, were improved to county standard in the past 15 years. However, several major gaps in the sidewalk and bike lane network remain, including West Union Road. Crossing spacing on Sunset Highway and Brookwood Parkway are well over typical (¼ mile).

Introduction This report presents comparative case studies, defined as “the analysis and synthesis of the similarities, differences and patterns across two or more cases that share a common focus or goal in a way that produces knowledge that is easier to generalize about causal questions” (Goodrick, 2014: 1). This follows earlier case studies by the authors at five exemplary transit-oriented developments (TODs) across the U.S.: Redmond TOD in Seattle; Rhode Island Row in Washington D.C.; Fruitvale Village in San Francisco-Oakland; Englewood TOD in Denver; and Wilshire/Vermont in Los Angeles (Ewing et al. 2016). The subject of this sixth case study is Orenco Station, on the west side of the Portland metropolitan area in the suburban city of Hillsboro, OR.
