  • 88-171 Scenic Area.)
    BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR MULTNOMAH COUNTY A Resolution regarding proposed) Interpretive Center Sites in the) RESOLUTION Columbia River Gorge National) #88-171 Scenic Area.) WHEREAS, on July 12, 1988 the Columbia River Gorge Commission adopted criteria for selection of an interpretive center in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area; and WHEREAS, the county established an advisory committee on October I, 1987 (Ordinance No. 561) to propose and review potential interpretive center sites within Multnomah County; and WHEREAS, the Interpretive Center Advisory Committee identified fourteen sites for analysis and the United States Forest Service identified the "Ainsworth/Dodson Interchange" site as a potential interpretive center location; and WHEREAS, the Committee reviewed the sites against the Gorge Commission's adopted siting criteria. The Committee offers comments and recommendations on the sites in the attached memorandum to the Gorge Commission (Exhibit A); and WHEREAS, the Committee concluded in its comments to the Gorge Commission that the "Ainsworth/Dodson Interchange" site best meets the interpretive center siting criteria. Committee members restate the importance of gateway-orientation facilities near the primary entrances to the National Scenic Area; an interpretive center at the Ainsworth/Dodson site would not completely serve orientation needs since it lies approximately 16 miles east of the Sandy River. The Ainsworth/Dodson site possesses significant access advantages for an interpretive center with potential river and rail access and convenient connections to both Interstate-84 and the Historic Columbia River Highway. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners endorses the Interpretive Center Advisory Committee comments (Exhibit A) and recommends the "Ainsworth/Dodson Interchange" site as the Multnomah County site which best meets the Interpretive Center siting criteria.

  • Trip #1 Bingo Clues: Waterfall Alley (Troutdale to Ainsworth)
    Trip #1 Bingo Clues: Waterfall Alley (Troutdale to Ainsworth) TRIP #1: ROW 1 #1, 1B: VISIT HISTORIC TROUTDALE Coined the “Gateway to the Gorge,” this city at the western boundary of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area provides a great starting point for your road trip. The town was named in 1880 by Captain John Harlow, who had a trout-stocked fish pond in a small dale near his house. #1, 1I: SELFIE WITH SAM HILL “Who in the Sam Hill was Sam Hill?” Sam Hill was larger than life. He was a businessman, philanthropist, and an advocate for good roads. Sam was the driving force behind the Columbia River Highway; in fact, it’s safe to say that without his influence, there would be no Historic Highway today. Stop at Portland Women’s Forum State Park and locate the profile of Sam Hill on a plaque on the big rock near the entrance to the park. I’m sure Sam will hold still for your selfie. Share your photo on Instagram at #gorgebingo if you want. Note: There is a new bronze statue of Sam Hill and Historic Highway engineer Samuel Lancaster at Visionary Park & Monument in Troutdale. Feel free to take a visit. #1, 1N: HISTORIC ROUTE 30 SIGN The sign reads “Historic Route” with “Oregon – US 30” on a shield in the middle located along the entire route of the Historic Highway. The Historic Columbia River Highway is a 73-mile section of the entire 3,073-milelong Route 30, which runs east-west between Astoria, Oregon, and Atlantic City, New Jersey.

  • State Letterhead (Gov. Brown) Blue
    Multnomah County Bicycle and Pedestrian Citizen Advisory Committee October 2020 MBPAC Two Items: Transit which benefits Bike and Pedestrian users of the Historic Columbia River Highway Eagle Creek Staircase ADA noncompliance, baby step forward! ___________________________________________________________________ Multnomah County and Historic Columbia River Highway Background 1. After the Gorge Fire of 2017, ODOT formed a Congestion Plan effort & a Forum consisting of US FS, ODOT, OPRD, and Multnomah Cty. Commissioner Stegmann is the chair of this Forum. Purpose was to create solutions to solve congestion mitigation. 2. For two years (fall of 2018) Wayne Stewart and I have been pushing for the Historic Columbia River Highway advisory committee ODOT to consider a free trolley along the HCRH with no cars allowed access except for the following: residents, vendors, tourism vendors utilizing large capacity vehicles, bus tourism conveyances, state park users registered for large gatherings (e.g. birthday parties). The benefit for cyclists & pedestrian/hikers is that very few cars and professional transit drivers who know the road and the poor visibility turns. We modeled this idea from two role models: Zion National Park and our own Washington Park Shuttle Service. Both facilities use parking lot hubs and income from parking to create/sustain the free shuttle service. In our local case, WA Park has 1500 spaces and Parking Kitty. This has 3+ million dollars income which is shared among the Zoo, Japanese Garden, Hoyt Arboretum, Children’s Museum, and Forestry Center. The free shuttle which visits all venues costs a little more than 1.6 million. It has service records of increasing low income visitors in 2019-2016.

They were an innovation as so little had been done by any state in the Union. The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.
