Abstract:
The Belmont-Morrison Project originally started as a feasibility
study of decoupling the Belmont-Morrison one-way couplet in
SE Portland. Decoupling refers to the process of changing a
one-way couplet back to two-way traffic flow. The projectâ s primary
design directive was to identify a new location for the transition
between one-way and two-way traffic, currently located at 25th Ave.,
as far to the west, outside of the Buckman neighborhood as possible.
The policy directives for decoupling are found in the Buckman
Neighborhood Plan and the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. [From the Plan]
