    Portland Ecodistrict Pilot Program Evaluation Report of Findings FEBRUARY 2015 © 2015 EcoDistricts. All Rights Reserved 1223 SW Washington St., Suite 200 Portland, OR 97205 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 4 Background 7 Beyond the Portland Pilot 10 Pilot Evaluations 11 South of Market 12 South Waterfront 22 Foster-Green (Lents) 32 Gateway 44 Lloyd 52 Lessons Learned 60 Appendix 64 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Through the support of the Bullitt Foundation, EcoDistricts undertook an evaluation of the Portland Ecodistrict Pilot program, a three-year partnership between the City of Portland, Portland Development Commission (PDC) and Portland Sustainability Institute (PoSI) to accelerate sustainable neighborhood-scale projects in five districts throughout Portland between 2009 and 2012. The City selected the five following districts to participate in the program in order to promote sustainability across a diverse set of neighborhood “typologies”: • Portland State University - South of Market Ecodistrict (“SoMa”) • North Macadam Urban Renewal Area - South Waterfront Ecodistrict • Lents Urban Renewal Area - Foster-Green Ecodistrict • Gateway Urban Renewal Area - Gateway Ecodistrict • Lloyd District - Lloyd Ecodistrict This evaluation is one element of a four-part Bullitt funded project to more deeply understand best practices for district and neighborhood sustainable development in the region. The four elements are: Portland Pilot program evaluation; analysis of neighborhood sustainability projects in the Cascadia Region; update of the EcoDistricts Protocol; and a technical guide for green infrastructure and ecosystem services. All four elements of this project have been designed to inform the development of the Global EcoDistricts Protocol and other EcoDistricts-initiated programs intended to accelerate district-scale sustainable development in the region and beyond.

  • East Portland Active Transportation Plan
    East Portland in Motion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A Five-Year Implementation Strategy for Active Transportation 6.5. Recommended Neighborhood Greenways This section describes recommended neighborhood greenways – low traffic, low speed streets where bicycling and walking are given priority, safety is improved at major road crossings, cut‐ through traffic is reduced, and environmental quality is enhanced through tree plantings and bioswales, all while maintaining vehicle access to private property. Neighborhood greenways have received strong support from the East Portland community, and will significantly increase the mileage of “low‐stress bikeways” in East Portland. East Portland in Motion recommends ten neighborhood greenway projects that total 29.5 miles, and that will bring more than 80% of East Portland’s population within a half mile of a low‐stress bikeway. 6.5.1. Neighborhood Greenway Funding and Phasing • Neighborhood greenways will be funded primarily through the city’s Affordable Transportation Fund, in addition to special grant funding on certain projects. • The two highest priority neighborhood greenways are the 130s Greenway and the 4M (Market/Mill/Millmain/Main) Greenway. Together, these two routes create a scaffold extending in all four directions from the geographic center of East Portland. • Gradual implementation. Some elements of the proposed neighborhood greenway network will be built over several years and through multiple funding sources. Work on the 130s Neighborhood Greenway, for example, will begin in year 1, but many of the more expensive elements will be funded through a Regional Flexible Funds grant in 2013‐14 (assuming the funding request is granted). PBOT must determine whether or not this earlier work can be considered as leverage for the grant.
