  1. What are the chances the parking garage at 500 NE Multnomah St can re-establish NE Hassalo St through their lot? With the completed connection at the new 8th & Hassalo development, there is the potential to have a connected street from Holladay Park to MLK Jr Ave. If they don’t this seems like a missed opportunity to bring our human-scaled street grid to a neighborhood that sorely needs it.

    • The project will almost certainly trigger the Superblock Plaza requirements of 33.293.020, which include the following language:

      “Where the site lies between two parallel streets which were formerly connected by a vacated street, a walkway connecting the two parallel streets must be provided as a substitute for the vacated streets. The connecting walkway does not need to be located within the the alignment of the vacated streets, but must provide approximately the same connections for pedestrians. The owner must record a public access easement that allows public access to the walkways.”

      • I’m interested in following this development more closely. Who at the city could I reach out to in order to stay in the loop regarding this? What are the next steps for this development as it begins to shape up?

        • The project is currently on the Design Commission agenda for May 19th, though these sometimes get bumped. The drawings haven’t been published on the city website yet. Normally, though not always, the drawings go up one week before the hearing. The planner assigned to the case is Tim Heron.
