Light Rail Transit
Steel Bridge Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing
Portland, OR
Senior landscape architect for a low-level, mixed-use pathway across the Willamette River in downtown Portland. Project elements include modifications to the historic Steel Bridge, a two-deck lift bridge carrying railroad traffic on the lower deck and pedestrian, bicycle, auto, bus, and LRT traffic on the upper deck; a new mixed-use pathway on the East Bank of the Willamette River connecting the Steel Bridge crossing to the Oregon Convention Center Overlook and a future East Bank park; and a new pedestrian/bicycle bridge over existing mainline railroad tracks. Today this project completes a pedestrian and bicycle loop around a significant portion of the Willamette River, which separates downtown from the Central Eastside.
