Gateway Project Areas:
102nd Avenue Streetscape

The redevelopment of 102nd Avenue, the spine of the Gateway District, into a boulevard was identified by the community and mentioned as a key transportation infrastructure improvement in the Opportunity Gateway Concept Plan and Redevelopment Plan. (link) The purpose of such a treatment is to provide a high quality, high profile identity to the district, as well as provide a better pedestrian environment.

102nd Avenue

To that end, the Portland Office of Transportation has engaged the community for the past two years in the development of a 102nd Avenue streetscape plan. This plan provides an overall direction for construction of street improvements on 102nd Avenue between NE Weidler Street and SE Washington Street

The 102nd Avenue Streetscape Plan aims to change the appearance of 102nd Ave to provide a more aesthetically appealing street for pedestrians and cyclists, without changing the overall function of the street. The goal is to transform a typical suburban arterial street into an urban boulevard, providing a framework for future redevelopment while remaining sensitive to the needs of existing businesses. Public artwork may be included.

The project plan includes widened sidewalks, pedestrian scale lighting, street trees and medians that provide for pedestrian crossing opportunities. Existing on-street parking, which is not heavily used, will be removed to provide room for bike lanes.

Design and Engineering funds for the project come from Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program funds, allocated by Metro. Construction of this project will be paid for largely by federal funding, with the remainder provided by local system development charge revenues. Construction is scheduled to begin in Fall of 2006.
