Planners prepare street plan for north end of South Waterfront;
Open house June 11
Portland Bureau of Transportation’s
Art Pearce told the Commission, but it
didn’t take into account the proposed
new Oregon Health and Sciences
University campus north of the Ross
Island Bridge, or current plans to bring
the MAX Light Rail Milwaukie Line to
Southwest Porter Street.

Portland Development Commission,
presented a proposed street plan for
the north segment of the South Water-
front, between Southwest Gibbs Street
and Marquam Bridge, to the Portland
Design Commission last month.

about the plan from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

for.
Design Com-
mission mem-
ber Gwen Millius also questioned the
bridge park, particularly since it will

for practice, but I can’t imagine wanting
to play a game down there,” she said.
Doss replied that the bridge was quite
high at this point and that there was
relatively little noise below.
