Abstract
The Russell Street Improvements Planning Project outlines a street
design concept plan for Russell Street, N Mississippi and N Albina
Avenues. MAX will bring increased pedestrian traffic to the Lower
Albina industrial area. The project had two major challenges: How to
safely accommodate the increased pedestrian traffic without a negative
impact on truck traffic. The other major challenge was how to
reinforce the east-west connection between the upper and lower parts
of Russell Street by changing the perception of the I-5 overpass from a
barrier to a gateway destination or focal point. [From the document]
