Transportation Group – WHPacific scope
‡ How much land will need to be set aside in
order to connect SE 64th Ave. to Division.

‡ The work will also address implications for

adjacent properties, access to the park, and
cost.
Transportation Group – WIKI Question
‡ Questions from WIKI Transportation Site
„ How much ROW (land) do we need to set aside?
„ Would the alignment follow the property line, which
is curved, or something else?
„ What would get included in a street profile, such as
planting strip, trees, ADA ramps, bike lanes,
parking?
„ Is a full street really needed? Can we meet the
“connectivity policy” with other options, such as
bike/ped pathway?
Transportation Group - WIKI
‡ Questions from WIKI Transportation Site
„ Can the street be one way?
„ Can public access be limited to the Lincoln end to
reach community gardens, horticultural services,
etc., and a maintenance access be limited to the
Division end. (technically “connected” but blocked
off with a swinging gate?)

Administrative Decision, Administrative Findings
and Decision, Minor Land Division LUR 96-00 748 MP

“The plat shall include a future street reserve.

Any future land division of parcel 2 shall
include the dedication of SE 64th.” IV.3
„ There is nothing in the plat or the conditions of
approval that require dedication of right-of-way at
this time. If Parcel 2 is redeveloped without
further division of the land, then dedication of
ROW for a road is not required. Only if the property
is divided will dedication be required.

Mt. Tabor Master Plan - 2000
‡ Improvements of SE 64th Ave. is noted as a
future connection. (As recommended by PDOT)
‡ The access sub-committee favored creating
access from SE Division Street, if it did not
negatively impact adjoining neighbors, and
investigation of one-way traffic to solve
circulation and parking issues.
Neighborhood Concerns:
Neighbors are concerned that a
new street would have a negative
impact by re-directing park traffic
into the adjacent neighborhoods.
