Northeast 7th Avenue Green Street Capacity Improvements

Portland’s Bureau of Transportation is planning a new pedestrian and bike bridge, the Congressman Earl Blumenauer Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge, over Interstate 84 to connect the Lloyd District with the Kerns neighborhood in a rapidly changing inner NE industrial neighborhood. GreenWorks assisted in diverting stormwater from the area the bridge will be built.

Because the area around the bridgeheads was developed with impervious surfaces, GreenWorks was hired to provide green street improvements to adjacent streets Flanders, Davis, and NE 7th Ave. This work will alleviate some storm pipe capacity issues from aging infrastructure within the bridge's catchment area. In total, we did five stormwater facilities that included inclusion citing, laying out, and construction documentation.
