"Bye-bye" curbside parking. Much needed upgrades coming.
Sidewalks, ADA rampes, bike lanes, and a new crosswalk near 172nd. |
May - September 2010 the City of Gresham’s Transportation Division will enhance Halsey Street between 162nd and 181st Avenues. The project includes construction of new sidewalks where they are missing, new ADA ramps, and an enhanced crosswalk on 172nd or at a nearby intersection to facilitate access to the north side of Halsey Street from H.B. Lee Middle School. Get Map!
The street surface will also be repaved with microseal, a more durable road surface than the existing asphalt. When the street is resurfaced automobile lanes will be realigned and bike lanes will be added to the north and south sides of the street. With the addition of bike lanes some on-street parking will be eliminated.
Since you live within the vicinity of the project, we need your input and suggestions regarding this project. Comments will be accepted through 5PM Feb 26, 2010.
 Suzan Wells, Pres. SWNA outside abandoned QFC store 182nd/Powell. Gresham Outlook |
City identifies 181st & Halsey as one of four potential Gresham locations.
Five years later, still no 'Big Box' building code for responsible development. |
According to a recent City Council report the possibility is real.
At the October 13th 2009 City Council meeting city planners presented a report that acknowledges Gresham's (Oregon's fourth largest city) need for a big-box policy. The report outlined areas of concern; a summary of how similar sized cities address those issues; and how Gresham compares.
The report recommends delaying code development saying the retail market has slowed, making another big-box development unlikely anytime soon. Besides, "A big-box store requires eight acres to accommodate parking," said John Pettis, associate comprehensive planner, "there are no vacant properties (in Gresham) that meet that requirement".
Planners did however identify four sites big enough to be redeveloped to accommodate a big-box (bigger than 100,000 sq. ft.); including 181st & Halsey. (See map below for location)
