Metro Parks and Greenspaces asked for a product that would identify whether and how the trail would meet regional goals if constructed as an off‐street path. This report is intended to research and explain the planning issues that follow from the potential trail alignment. This report provides information to support a decision on whether to apply for funding for further planning and engineering study. It also serves as a practical resource for future action.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Planning Implications of Globalization in Portland, Oregon Author: Coker, James W. Year: 1996 It is the purpose of this paper to shed a little light on information that has been gathered on the trends of globalization; to examine those trends as they are occurring within the region within the context of the values and goals of the Portland metropolitan area; and to offer classmates an opportunity for exploring the meaning of these trends and values as they relate to their own particular planning projects. In short, this entire project is conceived as a point of departure for recognizing the impact of globalization on contemporary planning practice within the Portland metro area. It offers a review of local globalization statistics. But it also offers a framework for considering . such impacts. Decisions on how to approach globalization trends should be based, after all, on the values and goals of the people of Portland; not on those of an individual or of a narrow set of interest groups. Nor should our local response be necessarily based on the values or goals of larger groups of the nation or world.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: West Portland Town Center: Developing Partnerships for Planning and Implementation Author: Aho, Matthew, Greathouse, Stevie, Snyder, Kevin Year: 1996 Metro, the regional planning organization for Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties, designated the area in Southwest Portland known as West Portland as a Town Center in its Region 2040 Preferred Growth Concept. Metro's Town Center definition is open to different levels of interpretation without much guidance as to how the Town Center vision (i.e. increased density, a mix of land uses, a sense of place, and an emphasis on alternative modes of travel) is to be planned for and implemented. Since this designation in 1994, public sector planning efforts have been initiated around and specific to the West Portland Town Center. However, there is still a high level of uncertainty as to how the Town Center vision will be realized and who is ultimately responsible for its implementation. This report addresses this uncertainty. While it does not presume to provide answers, it does pose a variety of options for planning methodologies, public sector responsibilities, and community involvement. These options are based on a viewpoint that traditional planning methodologies and models are insufficient to realize the Town Center vision, and that nontraditional methods and models must be explored and attempted if this vision is to become a reality. The report has three sections which are intended to convey ideas and information that will guide the public and private sectors and the community in the planning and implementation of the West Portland Town Center directly, and other town center-like places indirectly. Section I introduces the West Portland Town Center and explains the report methodology. In addition, this section analyzes the current planning process for the West Portland Town Center. Section II of the report summarizes seven case studies, numerous stakeholder interviews, and a citizen focus group that were the basis for a significant portion of the information and ideas presented in the final section. Section ill presents an analysis of all research. This includes a discussion of general principles for planning town center-like places and three alternative approaches, including the Status Quo, Partnership, and Community Ownership, for the planning and implementation of the West Portland Town Center. The Status Quo Alternative proposes no significant changes in the current planning process for the West Portland Town Center. The Partnership Alternative proposes a higher level of community and private sector participation in the planning and implementation of the West Portland Town Center. The Community Ownership Alternative proposes a planning and implementation process for the West Portland Town Center that is primarily initiated, led, and completed by the community. AGS Associates recommends a carefully formulated composite of the three alternatives that addresses a consensus-based vision for the area. We would like to see the community and local businesses become more actively involved in all stages of the planning and implementation for the West Portland Town Center. This process should take place within a well-defined framework that is actively supported ·by the various public sector stakeholders. This project was conducted under the supervision of Deborah Howe and Connie Ozawa.
