Transportation Improvement Plan for the Jade District
The Powell-Division Transit and Development
project is a partnership among the cities of Portland
and Gresham, Multnomah County, the Oregon
Department of Transportation, Trimet and Metro.
The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project currently being
planned is designed to create a better experience and
faster ride for the people who board buses on Powell
Boulevard and Division Street. The partnership is counting
on dollar-for-dollar matching grants from the federal
'Small Starts' program. This project is also apart of the
Service Enhancement Plan (SEP) at TriMet.
The City of Portland is updating the Transportation
Systems Plan (TSP), the long range plan guiding
transportation investments in the City. Periodic updates
of the TSP are mandated by the State of Oregon.
Addressing safety for all people who use 82nd
Avenue whether walking, biking, taking transit
or driving. ODOT owns, operates, and maintains
82nd Avenue between the curbs. The City or
adjacent land owners own and maintain sidewalk
between the curbs and buildings/parking lots.
The City of Portland, with input from ODOT,
programs the traffic signals on 82nd Ave.
Project will create a high
quality, safe, and
comfortable north-south
walking and bicycling route
running parallel to 82nd
Ave through multiple
neighborhoods of NE and
SE Portland. The project
will include traffic calming
and way-finding elements
on local streets.Project is
comprised of three phases.
A partnership between the City of Portland, schools,
neighborhoods, community organizations and agencies,
to increase safety for students and families to bike, walk,
and to reduce congestion.
Orphan Highway Bills - aim to improve state highways
that have lost traffic volume to more popular
Interstate Highways. 82nd Ave. is expected to be
highly eligible on that list for funding.

• Portland’s 2015 Climate Action Plan (CAP) addresses the need to increase
access to quality affordable housing, especially in East Portland, because the
City is aware that it needs to protect the most vulnerable to climate change
impacts. The CAP also communicates the need for increasing access to parks
in order to create more livable communities, but also to help reduce the urban
heat island effect. Improving and expanding transportation options in order
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create healthier communities is also
addressed in the CAP. These maps help illustrate how some of the planning
goals for APANO and the Jade District align with that of the City of Portland
and Multnomah County.
• The two maps on the left side display vacant lots as well as zoning codes
obtained from RLIS to help determine potential affordable housing sites.
• The transportation improvement plan map, located directly above, was
created with the intent to help document and understand where to prioritize
efforts to transportation improvements in the Jade District for APANO and
Jade District Steering Committee.
• A systematic approach to mapping can offer visual assistance for decision
makers and leaders in organizations like APANO, in order to identify
potential areas for development as well as focus their resources effectively.

District park. The site is currently owned by BES,
and is the Brooklyn Water Pump Station. Map
above shows site in relation to Jade District.

owned lot. Poor pavement conditions on 89th
Avenue with several potholes. (Both pictures taken
