Great! I have been watching this, too. This CM2 lot is constrained by setbacks & stepdowns at the rear and side from an R2.5 lot and an RM2 lot. (Don't want a building ON BELMONT to use it's whole lot! Must restrict building on this Belmont-facing lot in order to "protect" the rear of an R2.5 lot!)

We who want streets for something other than cars owe a lot to Jonathan Maus's reporting over this past many years! Portland wouldn't be known for bicycling (and other non-auto transport) were it not for Jonathan reporting extensively every day for those years! Thank you Jonathan!

I would love it if we didn't have to fight to get every building built!

Hope you are doing well now!

So sorry to hear this! Glad there were supporting witnesses (?)

portland city council will vote on a ~major~ resolution to allow more homes to be built through the entire central eastside a week from today.

join @pnwelcome.bsky.social at a rally at city hall in support of @councilormorillo.bsky.social's Inner Eastside for All resolution, 4/15 at 5pm

Portland Bureau of Planning is cautious about increasing multifamily entitlement, on or off of arterial streets. Meanwhile, lots right next to transit are not built on because of FAR, lot coverage, setbacks. You wonder if they're secretly Strong Towns "1.5x suggested limit" adherents.

And check on modified exhaust systems at the same time. (mufflers replaced with straight pipes for more noise effect.) I was at a muffler shop where that was one of the (illegal) services they offered.

And these men will use right-side steering wheels to
Do so!

Building all kinds of things in cities should be easy. The planning profession does not believe this and they need to be stopped.

Looks like some grifters have snuck this onto the agenda.

Using the $ for Trimet is more equitable than spending it to subsidize games.

Thank you Steve Novick for standing up for the PCEF. Slowing and stopping climate change is why I support the things that the city and region are doing, in transportation, in housing and in zoning, to counter climate change and it's impact. Heating an arena is not the highest priority.

Lets have some substantial barriers that'll actually stop cars, instead of these soft disposable posts that will protect drivers, not walkers.

By the same developer!

But what are those different colored supposed bike lock-up spots supposed to do? I suppose if you study them enough you can see a piece of hardware represented ("advertising"!) or maybe figure out how to lock to them. But they're just "noise" in this chaotic sidewalk. Where is this?

Love that low-angle rendering!

The current pilot in SE has both.

Only 3 stories? Are they threatened by Design Review, or ??

Also they subscribe to a service that just reframes someone's post, and asks "what do you think about this project?" or "what business would you like to see in this vacant building?". All to drive more traffic on the site, even if it's meaningless chatter!

the funny thing is that NextDoor, which used to be very local (East Richmond, e.g.), kept expanding the geography of where you got posts from. It's no longer limited to your block, but appears to be notices from all over the city and county, and including from Vancouver.

Clearly youre not on NextDoor enough.

Rose City Park has, it seems, been this way for the 20 years I've been active in land use and transportation. (And I think Bike Portland certainly is useful in presenting the issues)

I wonder if the Eastmoreland course land was owned by developer of Eastmoreland , and they gave it to city of city promised to build a course there (Saving developer cost of doing it)??

You like the "bow" (and arrow) wire supports?

His best use case for the Walgreen's at Chavez/Belmont is... a parking lot?? It could be 150 apartment homes, (like is planned for Chavez and Division). More people get to access the multiple businesses on Belmont, plus transit, and less people who's only choice is driving. This is 1995 thinking.

And best would be a Portland Loo that stays there for a while. The one at SE 11th and Oak, by the new housing there, was closed after a couple of years, and has now been removed. It's like any new loo needs a strong advocate to support it.

Yes, but also swales where needed.

Trees in the Curb Zone Pilot Project The Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) recently awarded the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) $500,000 from its "Percent for Green" program. The program collects a percent of development ch...

Or put trees in the street, where the parking would be, (or between parking), like PBOT is experimenting with in SE Duke St. This way you'd get wider trees and more shade out of the deal. www.portland.gov/transportati...
