(The ERA Team) were retained by the City of Portland Bureau of Planning to conduct the Central Portland Retail Research and Analysis study. Central Portland is home to a variety of distinct districts and neighborhoods. Each of these districts has its own characteristics and identities. Some districts such as NW 23rd Avenue, the Downtown Core, and Lloyd Center are home to established retail concentrations that serve both the surrounding neighborhoods and draw people from around the region. Other areas such as the NW Lovejoy Street in the Pearl District and Lower E Burnside in the Central Eastside are emerging as vibrant neighborhood-oriented main streets. Still other districts like South Waterfront and the University District have yet to really develop significant retail concentrations, but likely will in the future as the city continues to grow and develop. In this assignment, the ERA Team inspected Central Portland retail study areas, interviewed key stakeholders, reviewed demographic and economic trends and projections, conducted a SWOT analysis of the retail study areas, researched national downtown retail trends, analyzed future retail demand in each study area, and reviewed best practices in downtown retail in three comparable cities. Following this introduction, this section presents an Executive Summary of ERA’s analysis. Section II presents the study’s methodology, the economic and demographic trends in the metropolitan region, and the context for retail development in Central Portland. In Section III ERA provides for each Central Portland study area data on historical retail trends, an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for future retail development, and retail market demand estimates. Section IV summarizes national downtown retail trends and explains their relevance to Central Portland. Section V analyzes the downtown retail development strategies utilized in Boston, Vancouver BC, and Seattle, and their applicability to Central Portland. The maps for each of the ten districts and the long-term retail demand estimates are presented in Appendix A and B respectively. This report was prepared by the San Francisco office of ERA, with William “Bill” Lee serving as Principal-in-Charge and Chief Analyst. Sujata Srivastava served as Project Manager. Mary Bosch of Marketek, Inc., Tanya Chiranakhon, and Ernesto Vilchis assisted with research, analysis and report preparation. Tom Moriarity, ERA Principal based in Washington DC, served as advisor on tenanting and district issues. Economics Research Associates Project No. 17879 Page 3 I. Executive Summary Study Objectives This study seeks to understand the health of these varied retail districts, their potential for growth over the next 20 years, and how they relate to and complement each other in the context of a vibrant, diverse and evolving Central Portland. The results of the study will be used to inform the development of a new long-range plan for Central Portland. Rather than near term sales and tenanting concerns, the objective of this study is to provide economic guidance to long-term public policy and land use plans. The scope of this study was limited to analysis of ten specific study areas within Central Portland. The areas chosen were intended to capture existing major retail destinations, clearly emerging areas, and some (but not all) possible future retail areas. Some areas within Central Portland that have potential for future retail concentrations were not included in the study. Examples of these areas include SW 18th Avenue in Goose Hollow and Russell Street in Lower Albina. The omission of these areas and others like them from the study is a result of financial constraints and does not suggest they will not see future retail development. The knowledge gained from looking at other retail areas in Central Portland may be informative for these areas as well. Key Issues and Recommendations Based on the market analysis, stakeholder interviews, and the ERA Team’s experience, the following have been identified as key issues and ERA team recommendations for long-term retail development in Central Portland. 1. The requirement of active ground floor use of mixed-use buildings should be re-examined and better targeted. The current policy that mandates ground floor active uses in Central Portland has worked well in creating a vibrant pedestrian oriented city center. However, the geographic area where this policy is applied needs to be examined more closely. For example, at the periphery of Central Portland in emerging neighborhoods like the South Waterfront or the North Pearl, this policy is likely to lead to the creation of too much ground floor active use space and retail commercial

Devaluation in the area was the direct result of discriminatory real estate policies and mid-twentieth century urban renewal projects. Starting in the 1990s, the City of Portland passed revitalization measures to increase private investment in the neighborhood.

This includes an examination of the sexual geography of urban spaces as a deliberate construct resulting from official and unofficial public policy and urban planning decisions. Sexual geographies, the collective and individual constructions of sexuality, are not static. Nor are definitions of deviant sexual practices fixed in the collective consciousness. Both are continuously being reshaped and reconstructed in response to changing economic structures and beliefs about sex, race and class.

  • Livable Portland Land Use and Transportation Initiatives
    Livable Portland Land Use and Transportation Initiatives November 2010 Capital Projects 710 NE Holladay Street Portland, OR 97232 503-962-2150 trimet.org Preface At TriMet, we are proud of our contribution to the livability of the Portland region. We have seen enormous growth here since 1969 when the agency was formed. In that time, due to numerous visionary leaders and passionate citizen involvement that increases with each passing year, this region has made great strides in enhancing our sustainability, livability and economic vitality. One of the key tools in making this work has been to integrate land use and transportation planning, policy and development. TriMet’s role is to provide service across our district in ways that encourage the kind of growth this region has said it wants to accommodate in 2040. The result of this marriage of smart transportation investments—particularly transit— and land use planning is more compact, efficient cities that are easier to serve with non-automobile transportation modes. A fundamental measure of our success is whether more people can conveniently meet their needs Neil McFarlane by walking, rolling, biking or transit without adding to traffic congestion, TriMet General Manager emissions and other local, regional and global impacts. Reliable and frequent bus, light rail and streetcar service, combined with attention to bicycle and pedestrian mobility, make it possible for more and more people to choose not to drive for many or all of their daily needs. The numbers tell the story of this region’s success. Between 1997 and 2007, TriMet ridership grew faster than the region’s population, the amount of service we provide, and the number of miles that people drove.
