An application for early assistance is pending for property within the 97239 zip code. The proposal calls for an environmental violation review to correct the violations where construction equipment was found beyond the disturbance limits allowed by the 2018 environmental review. The equipment traveled directly between the gravel lot and the disturbance limits for the trail construction, which was not within the approved area for disturbance based on the land use review. The project would build an off-street, 12-foot-wide trail from near the intersection of Southwest Nebraska Street and Capitol Highway northwestward to the Southwest Bertha Boulevard. The trail will require a bridge structure to cross a ravine in the public right-of-way, and approximately 65 percent of the length of the trail’s alignment is located in the Environmental Conservation Zone. Riza Liu of the Portland Bureau of Transportation is the applicant and the city of Portland is the project owner.
