  • The Fields Neighborhood Park Community Questionnaire Results March-April 2007
    The Fields Neighborhood Park Community Questionnaire Results March-April 2007 A Community Questionnaire was included in the initial project newsletter, which was mailed to over 4,000 addresses in the vicinity of the park site (virtually the entire neighborhood) as well as other interested parties. The newsletter was made available for pick-up at Chapman School and Friendly House and made available electronically as well. A total of 148 questionnaires were submitted, either by mail or on the web, by the April 20 deadline. The following summarizes the results. 1. The original framework plan for the River District Parks suggested three common elements that would link the parks together. Which do you feel should be included in The Fields neighborhood park? 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Boardwalk Pedestrian Gallery Aquifer 2. This park is envisioned as a “neighborhood park no answ er – over two square blocks providing more traditional spaces for neighborhood residents. Do you agree ? with this overall concept? no yes Comments Regarding Question #2 “Traditional Neighborhood Park” #1 - None (of the original “framework concepts” are important What to you mean by "traditional" As long as this park does not become filthy (ie. bad terrain, homeless) like the waterfront, I'm for it. Excellent idea. A traditional park will be a nice complement to the other two parks. I don't know if my selections were recorded above. A continuation of the boardwalk is essential to making the connection between and among the parks. The design of the buildings around the park has narrowed the feeling of openness so it is beginning to look like a private park for the residential buildings surrounding it.

  • PP Annual Report Exec Summary V4.Indd
    2015–16 Dear Portlanders: Thank you for your recent commitment to repairing and improving Portland’s parks. In November 2014, you and an impressive 74 percent of Portlanders voted “Yes” for the Parks Replacement Bond Projects26 underway — the highest percentage ever for a Parks ballot measure. You became part of a long tradition of Portlanders who’ve built and maintained our city’s enviable collection of park facilities. In this fi rst full year of the Bond, from July 2015 to July 2016, we’ve laid the foundation for the work to be done. In this upcoming year, you’ll start to see tangible results in the parks. Replacement of the 70 to 90 year old mechanical systems at Grant Pool was the fi rst completed project, and next year, results will be visible across the city. Project1 completed About every nine years over the last century, Portlanders have invested in increasing, preserving and maintaining our park system by voting “yes” on parks bonds or levies. Before the 2014 bond, the last major bond was in 1994, meaning 20 years passed without signifi cant park improvements or address- ing dire repair needs. Portland Parks & Recreation anticipates a $248 million funding gap for major maintenance needs over the next 10 years. The $68 million in funds from the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond will not address all of these maintenance issues, but it is vital to fi xing, upgrading and replacing the most crucial of these needs. Projects18 ahead of As your Parks Commissioner and Parks Director, we are making sure the funds will be used wisely and schedule maximize benefi ts to the greatest number of park users.

  • Median Income, City Officials Said
    The Oregonian Portland parks will spend $8 million to extend North Park Blocks as part of Broadway Corridor redevelopment By Everton Bailey Jr. February 1, 2020 Portland’s parks department says it plans to use up to $8 million in fees paid by developers to turn a city-owned downtown parking lot into new public green space. The move to redevelop the lot near the Pacific Northwest College of Art along Northwest Glisan Street would extend the North Park Blocks one square block toward the city’s vacant central post office site, which is also slated for redevelopment. The money would come from system development charges and it would cover planning, design and construction costs, said Mark Ross, a parks and recreation spokesperson. “We are optimistic that some funds may remain after the North Park Blocks project,” Ross said. Any remaining money, he said, would likely be put toward a new park planned to be built on the post office site. The developments are part of the city’s Broadway Corridor redevelopment project, a plan to create a new neighborhood encompassing 34 acres in Northwest Portland between the Chinatown-Japantown historic district and the Pearl District featuring the 14-acre post office site as its anchor. The area also covers Union Station and the former Greyhound bus terminal. The project is expected to include at least 720 affordable housing units, small business opportunities, new parks, public art and a new cycle track for biking. Affordable housing units are planned to be made available for families earning less than 60% of area median income, city officials said.

INTRODUCTION PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Portland Development Commission (PDC) and the Bureau of Planning are working with stakeholders to create a framework plan for the Centennial Mills site, which will summarize public’s goals for the site. The framework plan will serve as the foundation for a potential future request for design and development proposals for the site. PROJECT HISTORY PDC acquired the 4.75-acre Centennial Mills site, located on the west bank of the Willamette River between the Fremont and Broadway Bridges, in 2000. To date, more than $12 million of tax increment and other funding has been spent for acquisition and improvements of the site and its buildings. The property was originally acquired for more riverfront open space as called for by the Central City Plan of 1988. Subsequent amendments to Central City policy, the adopted River District Urban Renewal Plan, and more recent open space and development master plans continued to emphasize similar objectives of developing more public open space on the river, and facilitating connectivity between the River District and greenway.
