Giant corporations search for average cities in which to run market tests for new brands of crunchos and fizzits. The targets tend to run to com­ fortable communities like Rochester, N.Y., Columbus, Ohio, or Des Moines, Iowa. Political commentators also feel the impulse to characterize typical Ameri­ cans. When political pundits Richard Outer Scammon and Ben Wattenberg a few Southeast years back pronounced that the average voter was a 40-year-old housewife liv­ ing in the suburbs of Dayton, Ohio, they were indulging in the national habit of carefully defining the middle Figure 5.1 Portland's residential districts American. as defined for the city's What about Portland and its Neighborhood Information neighborhoods?

  • Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
    APPENDIX B4.2 – LAND USE BACKGROUND INFORMATION Existing Land Uses Existing land uses are shown on Figures B4.2‐1 to B4.2‐3, which include the ½‐mile study areas surrounding the potential stations as well as the ¼‐mile study areas on each side of the alignment alternatives. Segment A begins in the southern end of downtown Portland, the central city of the region, includes the South Waterfront District and extends south to the Hillsdale neighborhood. Existing land use here has been historically influenced and constrained by the presence of SW Barbur Boulevard (formerly a rail line) and the Willamette River, and more recently by the development of Interstates 5 and 205 (I‐5 and I‐205) as well as SW Naito Parkway. The northern portion of this segment is an extension of the central city (downtown) in its more densely developed blocks, and is similar in feel to other neighborhoods in the southern downtown area. The southern section of Segment A is dominated by auto‐oriented uses separated by parking lots and driveways. Properties on SW Barbur Boulevard are predominantly zoned for general commercial uses, and are developed with many auto‐oriented uses separated by parking lots and driveways. The zoning along SW Barbur Boulevard includes a mixture of commercial, open space and residential uses on the northern edge, transitioning to primarily multifamily and single‐family housing through the steep and wooded area, and then mostly low‐density commercial for the remainder of the corridor heading south to Tigard. Along SW Barbur Boulevard, existing land uses include auto‐oriented low‐ density commercial uses involving offices, personal services, and retail, followed by restaurants, apartments, auto‐specific uses (mechanics, tire and oil centers, body shops) and hotels.

People want places they can go with their children and pets where they won’t be exposed to pesticides. There are new pesticide-free parks programs sprouting up all over the northwest! Just five years ago, only a few cities in the northwest had established pesticide-free parks programs. Now at least 17 cities in the northwest have parks that are managed without the use of any pesticides — including insecticides, fungicides and herbicides. As more and more community members become interested in pesticide-free public spaces, parks departments are responding by designating parks where vegetation is managed without herbicides.

Responsible Pet Ownership: Dog Parks and Demographic Change in Portland, Oregon by Matthew Harris A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Studies in Urban Studies Thesis Committee: Marisa Zapata, Chair Lisa Bates Matthew Gebhardt Portland State University 2017 ABSTRACT Dog parks are the fastest growing type of park in U.S. cities; however, their increasing popularity has been met with increasing criticism of pets in public space. Dogs have shown to be a deep source of neighborhood conflict, and the provision of dog parks, or off-leash areas, is a seemingly intractable controversy for city officials. In 2003, Portland, Oregon established a network of 33 off-leash areas which remains the second largest both in count and per capita in the country. The purpose of my research is to understand the public debate over off leash dogs during the establishment of Portland’s off-leash area network, and how dog parks relate to processes of demographic change.

  • Origins of Portland's Neighborhood System
    Many of us who are neighborhood activists today wonder about why and how Portland's neighborhood system was created. PSU Professor Carl Abbott presents a very informative and readable description of the origins of Portland's neighborhood system in Chapter 9 of his excellent history of planning in Portland: Portland: Planning, Politics, and Growth in a Twentieth-Century, published in 1983. The chapter describes "Portland's political revolution" in the 1960s and early 1970s in which community members first organized to stop destruction of their older neighborhoods as part of urban renewal plans of the time and then to champion revitalization of these neighborhoods. Southeast Uplift was created in 1968 as part of this community empowerment movement. Understanding these origins helps us all understand some of the underlying tensions in the system today and the often very different organizational cultures in different parts of the city. Neighborhood activists may find that the descriptions of struggles between city government, development interests and community members still ring true today. The current struggle by community members to ensure a strong community voice in the development of the Portland Plan (the review and updating of Portland's Comprehensive Plan) echoes many similar struggles and controversies around the creation of the original Comprehensive Plan in the late 1970s. Some terms Abbott uses for different types of neighborhoods may be unfamiliar. He defines and maps these neighborhoods types in Chapter 1: --"stopover neighborhoods": the inner neighborhoods around the central downtown that offered cheap housing for transient workers, European immigrants, and different minority populations; these were Portland's highest density neighborhoods (parts of NW, neighborhoods south of downtown, inner SE neighborhoods by the river, neighborhoods in NE along MLK) --"everyday neighborhoods": many of the neighborhoods in North Portland and SE Portland west of 82nd.

  • Preliminary Westside Central City Urban Renewal Study
    Preliminary Westside Central City Urban Renewal Study Prepared for the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability April 24, 2009 DRAFT Disclaimer The City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) with support from the Portland Development Commission (PDC) commissioned this study to help inform future decision-making regarding the feasibility of future urban renewal activity on the west side of central Portland. BPS asked ECONorthwest (ECO) to evaluate four subdistricts in the west side of the central city for their viability in forming one or more new urban renewal areas. By gathering information about possible future private development that might generate tax increment revenue, preliminarily identifying public infrastructure projects that could catalyze redevelopment in the area, and a preliminary, general discussion of blighting characteristics in the study area, ECO has been able to render conditioned findings and conclusions. Throughout the report we have identified sources of information and assumptions used in the analysis. Within the limitations imposed by uncertainty and the project budget, ECO, BPS, and PDC have made every effort to check the reasonableness of the data and assumptions and to test the sensitivity of the results of our analysis to changes in key assumptions. ECO, BPS, and PDC acknowledge that any forecast of the future is uncertain. The fact that we evaluate assumptions as reasonable does not guarantee that those assumptions will prevail. We have also described our analytic techniques and their limitations. BPS, PDC, and the Office of Management and Finance have reviewed our analysis for reasonableness. As time passes the results in this report should not be used without correcting for changes in urban renewal policies and procedures, changes in capacity for redevelopment, and market conditions and assessed values.
