I agree 100%... Parking on the peninsula is VERY difficult, especially throughout the Parkside neighborhood... I too would like to know how the city is planning to compensate for the loss of curbside parking that this project creates...

Thank you for submitting this issue to the City of Portland using SeeClickFix. It has been received as service request ID #59615. Our staff will now begin their investigation.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The green infrastructure (GI) is being installed as depicted on all the design documents reviewed and approved by the city involved at that time - planning - historic preservation - engineering/ traffic and public works.

There is a 20 foot wide span between the GI bump out at Avon Street

The street is 34 feet wide curb to curb.

There is parking on both sides.

Assuming an 8 foot parking lane that reduces the street width to 18 feet.

We did not move the curb line.

There is an extra 2 feet when you get to the GI at Avon Street.

The GI was designed so it would not stick out anymore into the roadway than the parked cars.

We put the green infrastructure in those areas of the roadway where there was designated no parking for sight line issues for those vehicles pulling out from one of the side streets and thus not reducing the available parking.

We did everything possible to make this GI installation a showcase for meeting urban street design and improvement.

Your request has been closed. Thank you for partnering with us to keep The City of Portland a great place to live and work.
