impressed with the way in
which she taught us to com
municate with each other,”
Mrs. Pittm an continued.
“We were a group of about
70 people who, when we
arrived that Sunday morning
were a little apprehensive of
each other, but by the time
we departed Saturday after
noon we had truly lived and
become as one happy family.
This was an 'experience', a
'happening' that will be with
me for the rest of my life."
Mrs. Pittman expressed
her thanks to those who
made her family's participa
tion in the workshop possible:

Union Avenue
(Continued from pg. 1, col. 91
was sparsely settled until the
1880's when immigrants were
drawn to the area because of
its proximity to employment
on the Willamette River. By
the turn of the century over
twenty different low-income
ethnic groups were living in
the area, and Union Avenue
formed a boundary line be­
tween neighborhoods.
As early as 1924 there
existed a mix of small manu­
facturing plants and com­
mercial establishments along
the Avenue. In that year
Union Avenue was zoned to
allow the continuation of
such a mix. As a result of
the widening of Union in
1930. there was a marked
increase in business activity,
and the Avenue developed
into an auto row. New car
retail establishments located
along (he Avenue as did
numerous auto-related busi
nesses including auto repair
garages, tire and battery
dealers, and gasoline sta­
tions. In the 1940’s the new
car dealers began to move
away from the Avenue, and
they were replaced by used
car dealers.
Although manufacturing
and auto sales and service
aimed at a city wide clientele
dominated business along the
Avenue, tourism was also an
im portant business until
Interstate Avenue became
the main route east.
Because of the interest by
City government and other
agencies, Harvey Rice and
several other businessmen
along Union Avenue became
concerned:
Although they
welcomed the idea of re­
vitalising the commercial
corridor along Union Avenue,
they believed that the busi
nessmen located along the
Avenue should have a pre
dominate role. Out of this
concern grew the Union
Avenue Boosters Club.
Several development al
ternatives have been pre
sented by Dennis Wilde,
Project Coordinator of the
Union Avenue Redevelop
ment Plan and its Steering
Committee. Members of the
s
Union Avenue Boosters Club
and the various neighbor­
hood organizations and the
public will meet with the
Steering Committee to deter
mine the best plan for re­
development.
All four of the Land Use
Alternatives envision com­
mercial centers as they now
exist, with the primary
center at Union Avenue and
Killingsworth and other busi
ness centers at the inter
sections of Lombard. Dekum.
Fremont and Knott.
Alternative A recommends
housing between the com­
mercial centers on Union
Avenue. The housing would
be small to medium-sized
projects ranging from du­
plexes and fourplexes in
vacant land areas to larger,
a p a r tm e n t- s ty le projects
nearer the commercial’ cen­
ters.
Housing would be
constructed through conven
tional private means and
through public subsidies.
Alternative B recommends
the same commercial concept
as Alternative A but does
not call for any change of
land use between the com
mercial centers. The land
between the commercial cen
ters would remain basically
as it is today with heavy
emphasis on vacant land,
unused parking areas, and
scattered retail and whole
sale buildings. The current
M3 (light manufacturing)
zoning would allow a con
tinuation of wide varieties of
land use. This plan requires
virtually no demolition or
relocation but would bring
little positive impact on the
area.
Alternative C plans the
same commercial centers as
Alternatives A and B, but
recommends that all excess
land be acquired for public
use. This would allow for
use as a linear park, social
service facilities, and other
public projects. This alter
native provides for limited
housing developm ent on
selected sites.
Alternative D uses the
same commercial center con
cept as the other alterna
tives. but the areas between
commercial centers would
have mixed uses including
service, wholesale, retail, ano
light industry. This alter­
native does not include
planning for new housing.
There are also four al­
ternatives for traffic pat
terns. Alternative No. 1 has
limited improvements in­
cluding signs and stripping
at major intersections to
permit left turns.
Alternative No. 2 provides
for a four-lane boulevard
with a planted center strip.
This plan would not require
property acquisition, but
would remove parking during
construction.
Alternative No. 3 calls for
five traffic lanes with the
center lane being a reverse
flow lane designated ex­
clusively for transit during
peak hours. Street parking
would be removed to make
room for the extra lane, and
transit stations would be
placed at one half mile in­
tervals.
Alternative 3A is a four
lane roadway with a planted
center and the roadway is
widened at half mile inter
vals to provide tran sit
stations.
Alternative No. 4 calls for
major public transportation
improvements including:, ac
quisition of land the full
length of the project; four
traffic lanes with left turn
refuges at major intersec
tions; exclusive lanes for
busses or light rail; selected
frontage roads at specific
locations to serve adjacent
businesses; and landscape
buffers to protect residential
neighborhoods.
This plan
does not allow for street
parking and makes pedes
trian crossing difficult.
Alternative No. 6 combines
Union and Grand with Union
Avenue carrying southbound
traffic and Grand Avenue
carrying northbound traffic.
This plan would require
major property acquisition
since Grand Avenue is not a
through street.

"Coury is perhaps the moat

Fertig pointed out, is that

Mrs. Pittman was recently
elected President of the
Binsmead School PTA, and
believes herself to be- the
first mother of children in
the transfer program to
become a PTA president.
Mrs. Pittman also serves on
the Board of th«- Emergency
School Aid Act (Title VII)
program which prepares
students who are bussed for
racial balance and the re
reiving schools for their new
experiences.
"I'm a great believer in the
old saying that a team ia a
mirror of the coach, and I
think this team proves it.
They prt. nee with such a
great degree of enthusiasm
just like Coach Coury. It's
really impressive.”
The speaker is Craig
Fertig, Offensive Coordinatoi
for the Portland Storm of the
Wurld Football League. He
speaks with the knowledge
of a man who has been
around football a long time.
He was equipment and ball
boy for the Washington
Redskins for eight years,
starred at the University of
Southern California as a
quarterback in the early
1960's, and served the past
10 years as a coach at USC
for John McKay.
Fertig is high on his new
boss, Dirk Coury, and com
pares him in many ways with
McKay, one of the most
successful college coaches of
all times.
Fertig says he's never
been around a training ramp
like the one the Storm is
going through.
