The Benson Bubbler Legacy The Benson Bubbler Legacy In 1912 Simon Benson, a local businessman and philanthropist, donated $10,000 to the City of Portland to purchase and install 20 bronze drinking fountains, now known as Benson Bubblers. Local folklore tells us that Simon Benson donated the 20 bronze drinking fountains as an effort to keep loggers out of the saloons at lunchtime. Others say that Benson was inspired after seeing a little girl crying at a 4th of July parade because she could not find a drink of water. Either PHOTO: ROMAN JOHNSTON Portland Building way, the Benson Bubblers have become a historical and enduring legacy in Portland. Portland’s first Benson Bubbler was installed at SW 5th Avenue and Washington Street.

  • Pearl District Existing Conditions Report
    Pearl District Access and Circulation Plan Existing Conditions Report Introduction This report reviews existing conditions related to land use and transportation in the study area. The Pearl District is located within the larger River District Urban Renewal Area, and is bordered by NW Broadway Avenue to the east, Interstate 405 to the west, W Burnside to the south, and the Willamette River to the north (Map 1). Below is a brief summary of existing conditions. For more detailed discussion of the transportation issues in the area, additional information, data, and maps are provided following the summary. Summary The Pearl District has street system and urban form characteristics that are similar to the Downtown and Old Town/Chinatown neighborhoods, with generally the same 200‐foot by 200‐foot block grid, and dense, mixed commercial/residential development. However, unlike its neighbors, much of the Pearl has been almost entirely rebuilt over the last 15 years with a predominance of residential construction. Fueled by infrastructure investments and a set of policies and development agreements following the River District Urban Renewal Area’s creation in 1998, the District has experienced rapid residential and commercial growth. The urban neighborhood built through these efforts has become a national model for inner city redevelopment. The District has many of the transportation characteristics of healthy, mature, 24‐hour mixed use areas, including high pedestrian and transit use, low reliance on the automobile compared to suburban areas, and a mix of residential, office, institutional and retail uses. As a result, Pearl residents, employers and visitors travel half as much by car as the regional average, and have much lower carbon emissions per capita from transportation sources.

The plan will address key challenges and opportunities, including maintaining a healthy tree canopy, making the park more accessible for all users, retaining park character while enhancing connections, and providing space for community events. Portland Parks & Recreation began the South Parks Block planning process by convening a community advisory committee to guide the project and launching a community visioning process in Summer 2019 to inform the development of three draft design concepts. The draft concepts were shared with the community in Fall 2019. The feedback on the design concepts guided the development of a draft preferred design. The community engagement approach for this stage of the project was designed to: • Enlist community participation in the design review process with a special focus on PSU students, the Native American Community Advisory Council and Parks Accessibility Advisory Committee; • Explain how community feedback and ideas heard during the draft concept phase influenced the development of Draft Preferred Design; • Gather and understand community feedback on the Draft Preferred Design to develop a preferred park design; and, • Strengthen community relationships and build support for the South Park Blocks and PP&R.
