CAPITOL HIGHWAY PROJECT
BES director Michael Jordan
meets with Basin 3 residents
(Continued from Page 1)
responsible for maintaining side-
walks. The transportation bureau
will be responsible for maintaining
street, bicycle facilities, and multi-
use paths. Environmental Services
will be responsible for maintaining
the stormwater facilities.
Retaining walls will be built
throughout the highway. The com-
mittee wants to explore opportu-
nities to incorporate artwork and
other design features into these
walls, transit stops, and other ele-
ments of the project to enhance the
livability of the neighborhood.
The subcommittee wants the city
to provide a construction timeline
calendar and weekly email updates
for residents to prepare accordingly.
Construction is due to start later
this year.
Lyons reminded anyone who
lives along Capitol Highway, be-
tween Garden Home Road and
Barbur Boulevard, that the city is
conducting one-on-one site visits to
discuss how the project may affect
property frontages. Considerations
include topography, trees, shrubs,
driveways, parking, fences, and
other features.
“Be sure to contact David Backes,”
Lyons said. “He can be reached at
503-823-5811 or david.backes@port-
landoregon.gov as soon as possible
to schedule your meeting.”

On Jan. 9, Bureau of Environmental
Services Director Michael Jordan met
with about 15 neighbors who live in
the water drainage assessment area
called Basin 3. The basin is located
south of Spring Garden Street and
north of Dolph Court.
“This is a complementary but sepa-
rate effort from the Southwest Capitol
Highway project,” said Becky Tillson,
project manager.
“The assessment represents a change
in the way we have traditionally dealt
with stormwater challenges on private
property in the separated sewer area.”
After Jordan made introductory re-
marks, he received an earful from sev-
eral neighbors who have been living
with water run-off issues for decades.
In a letter from Jordan to the Basin
3 residents, Jordan said stormwater
features will be located both along
the corridor and in the surrounding
basins.
“As you and other residents know,”
Jordan wrote, “this area is character-
ized by steep slopes, poorly infiltrating
soils, and an incomplete patchwork
of public and private stormwater
infrastructure [and] has drainage
challenges.”
Mike Roche, former Multnomah
land use chair and a longtime commu-
nity activist, said that former Portland
Mayor Charlie Hales left a mess.
“Hales preferred projects in the
Pearl, South Waterfront, and outer
southeast,” Roche said. “I’ve been pay-
ing taxes for 25 years [in Southwest]
and have seen nothing.”
Jordan, who said he is new
with the bureau, said he was
willing to learn from the neigh-
borhood. Jordan has been with
the bureau since June 2015.
“We haven’t always collabo-
rated the best with the trans-
portation bureau or neighbors,”
Jordan said.
“Environmental services is
getting ready to launch a new
stormwater system plan,” Till-
son said. “We are committed
to a more holistic approach to
stormwater challenges. This may
include cost-sharing opportuni-
ties for property owners and the
bureau.”
Others raised questions and
voiced their concerns about the
impacts of more development,
especially middle housing, waiv-
ers of remonstrance, and the new
Local Transportation Infrastruc-
ture Charge program.
Neighbors also brought up prop-
erty tax rates and questions as to the
rationale for cost-sharing solutions in
the basin.
In spring 2016, the city adopted
the program, which charges a fee on
new infill development occurring on
streets in single-dwelling residential
zones. According to the city’s fact
sheet, the LTIC provides a more pre-
dictable and simple option for devel-
opers to meet their obligations.
One of the main requests of this
group was that water be diverted over
to a regional facility on Multnomah
Boulevard near the U.S. Post Office.

take time,” Tillson wrote the group.
“This is a long-term effort and are
available to discuss shorter term ac-
tions that property owners can take
in the meantime limiting downstream
impacts.”
Tillson announced that Jordan
would like to schedule a time to visit
some of the properties in Basin 3 that
are experiencing flooding and other
stormwater issues. Tillson said she
would work with neighbors to sched-
ule visits during the coming months.
