  • Springwater on the Willamette & Eastbank Esplanade
    Springwater on the Willamette & Eastbank Esplanade Event/Programming Guidelines Revised & approved: 10/1/08 The Eastbank Esplanade extends along the east bank of the Willamette River for just over one mile. It is linked to the westside Waterfront Park Esplanade by the Hawthorne Bridge on the south, the Morrison Bridge in the center, and the Steel Bridge Pedestrian Walkway on the north. The primary purpose of the Eastbank Esplanade is to provide adjacent neighborhoods with access to the river and to serve as a public right-of-way for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. The management and programming policies outlined below were developed in 2000, in conjunction with the Eastbank’s opening summer season. They were reviewed and refined following the first summer season and were further revised in 2004 to include the Springwater on the Willamette trail, amend event participation numbers, and provide supporting rationale. Included in these guidelines are: - General Rules pertaining to both Springwater on the Willamette and the Eastbank Esplanade (p.1) - General Rules pertaining to the Eastbank Esplanade only (p.2) - Event Rules for all Walks/Runs/Bicycle Events (p.3) - Event Rules for Events Specific to Eastbank Esplanade – Use of the Esplanade (p.5) - Event Rules for Events Specific to Eastbank Esplanade - Use of areas adjacent to the Esplanade (p.5) - Guidelines Evaluation (p.8) General Rules • Public Access These facilities must be free and open to the general public at all times. No activity or event will be allowed to block access either with physical barriers or requirement of an entry fee or donation.

  • August 8 2010 60+ Events
    cElEbrAtinG thE bridGES thAt cOnnEct uS All July 23 — AuGuSt 8 2010 60+ events. More than two dozen bands, DJs, and performers. Over 150 artists. 24 films. One historic picnic. And a few unavoidably large art installations. All of it taking place at more than 27 venues around the city. This is the PDX Bridge Festival by the numbers—but you’ll quickly realize as you explore this festival guide, we are more than a string of numbers. Much more. In 2010, our inaugural year, our goal is to celebrate what makes Portland a great city in which to live, work, play, and create — by celebrating the bridges that connect us all. We created a civic celebration to engage Portlanders on their own cultural terms, and we hope that you’ll support it. We founded the PDX Bridge Festival as a nonprofit organization dedicated to marking the centennials of our Willamette River Bridges. This year, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Hawthorne Bridge, whose iconic span has carried many, many millions of horses, buggies, streetcars, Model Ts, Studebakers, semi trucks, Trimet buses, hybrid vehicles, bicycles, and feet across the river that runs through the heart our city. No matter who you are, we believe that somewhere in these pages you’ll find something that sparks your interest, whether it be a storytelling tour of the river and its bridges, a free outdoor concert, a bohemian circus, groundbreaking work by a local artist, an engaging speaker, an interactive installation along your daily commute, or even a film with Jeff Bridges.

    HISTORIC CONTEXT Hawthorne Boulevard from SE 20th to SE 55th Avenues Prepared for the Hawthorne Boulevard Transportation Improvements Project, Section 106 Documentation City of Portland, Oregon Bureau of Planning Portland, Oregon February 2003 Cover: 1926 Sewickley’s Addition – Hawthorne at SE 50th Avenue, looking NW Oregon Historical Society photo #1678, 52685 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Portland Bureau of Planning Vera Katz, Mayor, Commissioner-in-Charge Gil Kelley, Planning Director Steve Dotterrer, Principal Planner Project Staff Liza Mickle, Associate Planner, Project Manager Cielo Lutino, City Planner II KT Prew, Intern Eleanor Blue, Intern Laura Foxman, Intern Lisa Blee, Intern Lisa Abuaf, Community Service Aide Gary Odenthal, GIS Coordinator Carmen Peikarski, GIS Analyst Donah Baribeau, Office Support Specialist III INTRODUCTION The City’s Office of Transportation initiated the Hawthorne Boulevard Project following City Council’s adoption of the Hawthorne Boulevard Transportation Plan in July 1997. The improvements, which will be constructed starting in 2004, will make safer pedestrian crossings, enhance the boulevard’s pedestrian environment, support access to businesses on the street, improve transit access and amenities, provide bicycle parking for cyclists visiting the boulevard, and maintain automobile and truck access. (Questions about the transportation project may be addressed to: Jean Senechal, Portland Office of Transportation, 1120 SW 5th Avenue, Suite 800, Portland, OR 97204; (503) 823-7211.) This document, Historic Context, Hawthorne Boulevard from SE 20th to SE 55th Avenues, supports materials prepared to evaluate historic resources in an area that may be affected by the Hawthorne transportation project. The Bureau of Planning (BOP) prepared the document under an interagency agreement with the Portland Office of Transportation (PDOT), which has undertaken the project in the Hawthorne Boulevard area of southeast Portland.

  • From Stumptown to Tree Town
    FROM STUMPTOWN TO TREE TOWN A Field Guide for Interpreting Portland’s History through its Heritage Trees BYDAVIDPAULBHEDBERG WITHDESIGNBYREHANAHUSPENCE PORTLAND HERITAGETREE PROGRAM In 1993 a group of concerned citizens succeeded in convincing the Portland City Council to pass the Heritage Tree code. Heritage Trees have special importance to the city “because of their age, size, type, historical association or horticultural value.” Under the code, the Urban Forestry Commission is responsible for recommending future Heritage Tree nominations to the City Council, which makes the final decision. However any citizen can nominate a tree; in fact, the method to do so is included in the back of this guide. Portland’s Heritage Tree program is somewhat unique to other cities because the designation is affixed to the property title for the life of the tree—even when the property is sold. Because of this, property owners must consent to Heritage Tree nomination and a qualified arborist must first certify that the tree is healthy and has enough space to grow to maturity. Since the program began over twenty years ago, the City Council has listed over 300 Heritage Trees on private and public property.
