The Council finds that: 1. The City of Portland adopted its Comprehensive Plan on October 16, 1980 (effective date January 1,1981). The Plan was acknowledged as being in conformance with Statewide Land Use Planning Goals by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC). Upon its adoption, the Plan complied with State Goal 12: Transportation. 2. In April 1991, the LCDC adopted an Administrative Rule for Goal 12 (660-012), the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), which imposed additional requirements on local jurisdictions to achieve compliance with Goal 12. 3. The TPR requires local jurisdictions to develop transportation system plans (TSP) to ensure that the transportation system will support travel and land use patterns that will avoid air pollution, traffic, and livability problems faced by other areas of the country. The TSP is also intended to develop a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. 4. The TSP also incorporates the requirements of State Land Use Goal 11: Public Facilities and becomes the public facilities plan for transportation for the City. The Public Facilities Plan for the City was adopted by City Council Ordinance NO. 161770 on April 5, 1989. The Public Facilities Plan for Transportation includes a list of major transportation projects intended to serve the needs of the City for the following 20 years. The TSP Transportation System Improvements replaced the transportation projects in the Public Facilities Plan. 5. The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan (TE) was originally adopted by City Council Ordinance 165851 (effective date October 23,1992) to update the Transportation Goal and Policies to comply, in part, with the TPR. The TE also updated and incorporated the Arterial Streets Classification Policy (ASCP), including district policies and street classification descriptions and maps, into the Comprehensive Plan. 6. The TE was updated in 1996 and adopted by City Ordinance 170136 (effective date June 21,1996). This update was Phase 1 of the City's effort to develop a transportation system plan for the City and includes amendments to Goal 6 and its policies, street classifications, and Goals 1,2, 7, and 11. 7. On October 30,2002 City Council adopted Ordinance 177028 (effective date December 14,2003, the first Transportation System Plan (TSP) for Portland. The TSP included modal plans for motor vehicles, transit, bicycles, pedestrians, freight, and air, rail, water and pipeline and management plans for transportation demand management/parking and transportation system management.

  • What to See in Portland Update2009
    What to see in Portland, OR - by Marco Behrmann 07/02/2004 1/3 WHAT TO SEE IN PORTLAND , OR _________________________________________ Listed below you will find a couple of sights and my personal favourites to do in Portland. Since Portland was my town of exchange I do not know as many things about the other cities like Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland or La Grande. However, it would be just great if somebody could add tips about their places similar to the ones here, too! Please feel free to forward them to me (marcobehrmann[at]web.de ). I do not want you to believe that just because I stayed in Portland, and have many tips here for Portland, that a year at one of the other Oregon cities is not the same exciting. The tips listed here, however, are interesting for all Baden-Wuerttemberg students in Oregon, because many things you can already see and experience during your orientation weeks. (BTW: This is almost everything I did (among other things, of course) within my 2 ½ weeks of re-visiting in June 2004; but it took me a year of living in the city in 2001/02 to figure out which were the hot tips ☺) Here are my personal Must-Sees Oregon History Center in SW Park blocks right south of PSU (This museum features very interesting and well researched exhibitions about the development of Portland as a city as well as about the whole Pacific Northwest as it was discovered from the sea and the Columbia River; good place to check out during your orientation weeks; you get a student reduction with ISIC or other student ID card) Council Crest Park (considered the highest spot in Portland; nice views to Mt Hood, Mt Adams, Mt St Helens and even Mt Rainier on some days as well as to Beaverton; take Bus 51 [Vista]; the Bus driver often feels himself as an informal Portland guide; tell him that you are visiting and he even might stop for you at nice viewpoints to take pictures.

In the spring of 2012, drawing upon Portland’s ethic of community engagement and creativity, a public call was sent out for brief written expressions of the times that would reflect upon the egalitarian, utilitarian and civic nature of this new infrastructure project. The call requested short lines of text (fifty characters or less) to be painted onto silt fencing during the temporary Art Starts Now phase and then stamped into sidewalk paving during the permanent Impressed Concrete phase. Eleven hundred submissions were received, and one hundred and two of them were selected as “orange lines” for use in the project through a blind-jury selection process.

In 2006, the Portland Bureau of Transportation undertook a major effort to update the Bicycle Master Plan. As part of that process a report documenting past developments and the current status of bicycling in the city was written to serve as a starting point for the new master plan. Most of the Existing Conditions Report was completed in 2007, with some chapters revised or updated in 2009. This Executive Summary is excerpted from the completed report. CHAPTER 2: BICYCLE USE By all metrics, bicycling in Portland is growing dramatically. Based on PDOT’s annual counts and surveys; the annual Service, Efforts, and Accomplishments (SEA) survey administered by the City of Portland Auditor’s office; the American Community Survey (ACS); and the US Census, more Portlanders are bicycling for more trips since the adoption of the City’s first Bicycle Master Plan in 1996.

    Appendix J. Original Comments on the DEIS Table J-1 provides the text from the comments received on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) (in the light-blue rows) within the comment period (between November 7 and December 22, 2008). Above each comment, the table lists the identifier for each comment, the name of the commenter, and information about how the comment was received. If a copy of the original document is available (file names indicated in parentheses in the white row of the “How Comment was Received” column), it is provided in a separate file (Sellwood_FEIS_AppJ-2.pdf).
