City Council unanimously adopted the 82nd Avenue Plan on May 23, 2019.
Thank you to everyone who provided testimony!
Background
The Portland Bureau of Transportation is developing a plan for 82nd Ave. The purpose of this plan is to identify capital improvement projects, policies, design practices and other recommendations to support the incremental transformation of 82nd Avenue into a Civic Corridor, as envisioned in the Portland 2035 Comprehensive Plan. This plan is also intended to be in service to a larger effort underway, the eventual transfer of ownership of 82nd Avenue (OR 213) from Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to the City of Portland, under the stewardship of the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT).
This plan is being developed in coordination with the 82nd Ave Study: Understanding Barriers to Development, led by the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability. This joint planning effort is funded in part by a Metro Community Planning and Development Grant. BPS and PBOT are working together to address barriers within the corridor.
The City’s planning efforts were also coordinated with and informed by the planning process led by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to develop the ODOT 82nd Ave of Roses Implementation Plan.
Key elements of the 82nd Avenue Plan:
Recommended safety, access and transit improvements along 82nd Ave. The primary focus of these improvements is increasing safety and removing transportation barriers. Most of the recommended projects are enhanced pedestrian and bicycle crossings, increased lighting, signal changes to reduce conflicts and other minor improvements to existing signals. In addition, Enhanced Transit priority treatments and bus stop improvements are recommended along 82nd Ave to improve the reliability, speed and capacity of TriMet bus line 72.
Proposed changes to PBOT’s current right-of-way dedication requirements during property redevelopment to provide wider sidewalk corridors along 82nd Ave. These will be made incrementally over time, as development occurs. The change would bring PBOT right-of-way dedication requirements more in line with the existing Special Setback development requirements along 82nd Ave (45 feet from each side of the center line) in the Portland Zoning Code, Title 33.
