The bridge has no shoulders to provide access for emergency vehicles, accommodate vehicular breakdowns, or facilitate maintenance. In addition, the bridge’s vertical curves limit motorist sight distance. The interchange of the bridge and OR 43 (west-side interchange) also has many substandard features, including horizontal and vertical curves that limit motorist sight distance and reduce the ability of trucks to safely turn. Several ramp connections also provide insufficient vertical clearances, narrow or nonexistent shoulders, and excessive grades.

    VP 13-07 View from NE 82nd Avenue near Portland International Airport Score: 53.98 Description of Resource The viewpoint is along NE 82nd Avenue slightly north of the Columbia Slough. There are no specific areas where vehicles can pull off the road at this location so the view is generally seen as one drives north or south along NE 82nd. The view is north to Mt. St. Helens and easterly to Mt. Hood over property that is currently undeveloped. There is also a partial view of Rocky Butte to the southeast. Surroundings Northeast 82nd Avenue serves as a major route to the City from the airport. The west side of the road is developed with commercial uses such as motels. The east side of the road is beginning to be developed with uses allowed under the current zoning. The Port of Portland received a conditional use approval in 1988 for a planned business park for approximately 460 acres ofland immediately east ofthis viewpoint. Six phases of development are planned to include office, hotel, restaurant, warehouse, distribution, research and development, light manufacturing and other similar uses. Open space areas will include the existing sloughs and nearby vegetation, landscape setbacks, a central water feature, a water retention area, runway clear zone, and a clear zone buffer area. A portion of the 40-Mile Loop Trail will be included in the busines park to the south of the viewpoint along the slough.

  • Alameda County
    County Summaries Alameda County Overview Located at the heart of the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, Alameda County is the second-largest county in the Bay Area, with a population of over 1.66 million. The extensive transportation network of roads, rails, buses, trails and pathways carries roughly 1.2 million commute trips daily to, from, within and through the county, supporting economic growth in the Bay Area, California and the rest of the nation. The county’s transportation system is multimodal, with non-auto trips growing more quickly than auto trips: between 2010 and 2018, for every new solo driver, four people began using transit, walking, biking, or telecommuting. Roads and Highways Alameda County roadways move people and goods within the county and beyond and support multiple transportation modes. As regional economic and population growth increase demand for goods and services, a variety of modes, including cars, transit, bikes and trucks, are competing to access the same facilities. The majority of Alameda County’s 3,978 road miles are highways, arterials and major local roads that provide access to housing, jobs, education and transit. Forty percent of daily trips in Alameda County are carried on arterials and major roads. Currently, five of the Bay Area’s top 10 most-congested freeway segments are in Alameda County, and average freeway delays are growing. The congestion in Alameda County is compounded by the large amount of vehicle, rail and Travelers have made over 14.5 million trips on the I-580 freight travel through Alameda Express Lanes since opening in February 2016.

  • Potential Improvements Have Been Identified for Consideration with the Goals of Improving Corridor Mobility for All Modes of Transportation
    Potential improvements have been identified for consideration with the goals of improving corridor mobility for all modes of transportation. Information from existing transportation conditions, environmental screening, public input, and stakeholder meetings was used to identify several potential improvements for consideration and evaluation. The recommended potential improvements are categorized as Highway Improvements; Interchanges and Auxiliary Lane Improvements; Local Street Improvements; and Noise Abatement Improvements to address the needs of the corridor. The categories of potential improvements to address these key operational issues are listed in Table 5. Within each category, the list of viable potential projects is listed in a table and shown on the corridor map. Exhibits illustrating the potential improvements are included in Attachment 1.
