Abstract
The plan provides a vision and
strategy for "humanizing Burnside"
by transforming the Central City's
most blighted area into a "people place" that is comfortable, safe and exciting. Street
improvements and new development will create a place to walk, congregate, work, live
and visit.
The proposed improvements eliminate the barrier between the adjacent neighborhoods
and businesses that Burnside presents today. Burnside is envisioned as a gateway
to Portland's most dense neighborhoods, with diverse and interesting districts and
activities.
The Burnside Transportation and Urban Design Plan promises to provide safe access
for all modes of travel. It will improve and clarify vehicular access to, from and within
districts and neighborhoods where underdeveloped properties have development
potential. The project boundary includes a 2.3 mile reach through the Central City
from East 14th Avenue to West 24th Place. [From the Plan]
