Community Building Sourcebook Land Use and Transportation Initiatives in Portland, Oregon Community Building Sourcebook Land use and transportation initiatives in Portland, Oregon December 2007 December 2007 Dear Colleague: TriMet is pleased to provide this Community Building Sourcebook, which highlights the many land use and transportation accomplishments of the Portland, Oregon, region. This document is intended to provide snapshots of the innovative projects, plans and programs that shape our region’s growth. As you will see, Portland’s successes have depended upon partnerships among neighborhoods, local municipalities, regional interests, state agencies, environmental groups, developers and private fi nancial institutions. These partnerships are key to our successes. This document was a collaborative effort among TriMet, Metro and 1000 Friends of Oregon, originally published in 1999. Now in 2007 we are proud to present a revised edition of the Community Building Sourcebook to include new projects, programs and up-to- date information. A new chapter includes two transit-oriented development tours. We hope you fi nd the information and contacts helpful in your own work. Please feel free to call any of the listed representatives for more information. Sincerely, Fred Hansen General Manager Community Building Sourcebook, Portland, Oregon Acknowledgments The 1999 edition of this report was a collaborative effort among 1000 Friends of Oregon, Metro and TriMet.

    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.

There is a gap in the urban grid where mid-century planning principals called for surface parking lots in lieu of dense, walkable communities. We are repairing this urban fabric with the creation of a mixed-use, dense development that creates a 24-hour neighborhood. Velomor view from NE Holladay We want people to make Hassalo their home, their office, and their playground. We want to invite families to live a more urban lifestyle by providing them the amenities and business they need. We want to invite young professionals to live in a dense, diverse, and transit-oriented neighborhood and entice the restaurants and retail stores that cater to their needs. And we want to invite people to live with 360 degree views of downtown, Mt. Hood, Forest Park, and the Willamette River. The development offers a variety of housing options and retail spaces that can cater to a wide range of people and businesses.

  • Frog Ferry Presentation
    Frog Ferry Portland-Vancouver Passenger Water Taxi Service Frog= Shwah-kuk in the Chinookan Tribal Language, Art: Adam McIssac CONFIDENTIAL-Susan Bladholm Version 2018 Q1 Canoes and Frog Mythology on the Columbia & Willamette Rivers The ability to travel the waters of the Columbia and Willamette rivers has allowed people to become intertwined through trade and commerce for centuries by canoe. The journal entries of Lewis and Clark in 1805 described the shores of the Columbia River as being lined with canoes elaborately carved from cedar trees. The ability to navigate these waterways gave the Chinook people control over vast reaches of the Columbia River basin for hundreds of years. The area surrounding the Columbia and Willamette rivers is steeped in a rich mythology told to us through early ethnographers who traveled the river documenting Native American inhabitants and their culture. According to Chinookan mythology, Frog (Shwekheyk in Chinook language), was given the basics of weavable fiber by his relatives, Snake and omnipotent Coyote. With this fiber, Frog was given the task of creating the cordage for the weaving of the first fishing net. With this net, made from fibers of nettle plants, Frog had made it possible for the new human beings to catch their first salmon. Coyote tested the net, with the guidance and wisdom of his three sisters, thereby establishing the complex set of taboos associated with the catching of the first salmon of the season. The Chinook people would never eat or harm Frog for his association to them would always protect him. That is why you should always step around frogs and never over them.
