  • CHAPTER 2: Existing Conditions
    CHAPTER 2: Existing conditions Overview This chapter presents an inventory and assessment of existing conditions that impact and are related to Gresham’s transportation facilities and programs. 1. Study Area Gresham’s city limits and the Springwater, Pleasant Valley and Kelley Creek Headwaters Plan Areas are considered the study area for this TSP (Map 2). Pleasant Valley and its future development is part of Gresham’s Map 2: Study Area Location Map study area for the TSP update. 10 CITY OF GRESHAM TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN 2. Community Development Plan City of Gresham Gresham’s Community Development Plan is the guide for the City’s development over the next 20 years and beyond. The TSP supports Gresham as it builds out to the Community Plan’s ultimate vision and respects the city’s natural features through sustainable design. As shown on the City’s Community Plan Map (Map 3) and Graphic 1, 60% of the city, Pleasant Valley and Springwater lands are zoned as low density residential development. Low density residential lands are located throughout the city and Pleasant Valley and are clustered in Springwater’s western half. Medium and high density residential lands comprise 10% of the City’s land uses. They are located primarily north of Powell Boulevard. Mixed-use and centers districts also have residential components. They are located along transit streets and within the City, Pleasant Valley and Springwater centers as discussed below. While commercial lands comprise only 4% of the City’s land use districts, mixed-use and centers districts have a strong commercial component and make up 9% of these land use districts.

  • 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.

    Federal Highway Administration Integrated Corridor Management Deployment Planning Grant I-84 Multimodal Corridor: A Regional Concept of Transportation Operations for Integrated Corridor Management Portland | Oregon | January 29, 2014 (Revised) 2 I-84 Multimodal ICM Regional Concept of Operations 1.0 Introduction The Portland, Oregon metropolitan area is pleased to present FHWA with our application for the Integrated Corridor Management Deployment Planning Grant. The partners that have collaborated to prepare this application share the belief that in selecting the Portland region, FHWA will wisely invest in a community that is ready to advance its efforts in collaborative transportation system management. The Portland region is a low risk, high reward “living laboratory” demonstration site for the ICM program. All the puzzle pieces are in place, the region just needs a plan and momentum around a collaborative integrated corridor management project to maximize the I-84 corridor, which includes Oregon’s busiest and most unreliable stretch of freeway. Portland I-84 Corridor Unique Assets: FHWA/Agency/Public Benefits: • Mature multimodal system with a built out • Corridor has a robust set of travel options that freeway/arterial network; multiple transit modes support vibrant, diverse communities. Offers a truly including light-rail transit, streetcar, and bus multimodal environment to pilot ICM practices. service; park & ride facilities; bicycle network • Active traffic management devices including • Much of the technology needed to support an ICM queue warning, variable speed limits, travel time approach is in place today. Agencies actively use signage on full color matrix VMS signs, and CCTV technology to improve the travel experience. • Adaptive signal control on several arterial • Agencies are experienced with advanced technologies corridors that smooth travel flow.

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.

  • Plan Elements the Backbone of the Plan Is the Burnside and Couch One-Way Couplet
    Transportation Plan Elements The backbone of the plan is the Burnside and Couch one-way couplet. The coupling of Burnside and Couch would allow wider sidewalks, full-time on-street parking, free left and right turns, less crossing distance for pedestrians, improved bicycle facilities and opportunities for creating neighborhood and district identity through public art and streetscape finishes.
