Public Survey on the future of Keller Auditorum

Posted on by Allan Rudwick

This isn’t an Eliot-specific post, but…

The City of Portland’s Spectator Venues team is looking for public input on the future arts in portland and of the Keller Auditorium specifically (which is located between SW 2nd and 3rd, Taylor and Salmon Streets downtown). You might know that Keller is part of the Portland5 group managed by Metro, but it is owned by the City of Portland. They are debating renovating or building a new venue in another location.

The survey will be open until July 7: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/portlandfutureofarts

ODOT building new stormwater Facilities

Posted on by Allan Rudwick

ODOT is building underground stormwater treatment facilities to clean runoff from the Fremont Bridge (I-405), the St Johns Bridge (U.S. 30 BY) and U.S. 30 before it enters the Willamette River. During construction, some parking will be temporarily reduced in Cathedral Park and there will be intermittent lane and shoulder closures on U.S. 30 between Sauvie Island and downtown Portland. Learn more by visiting ODOT’s project website.

The main Eliot impact will be a new facility down near near the UP Railyard on the East side of the Willamette River, fairly far away from where Eliot Residents live. “An aboveground filtration tank at the base of the bridge approximately 8 feet tall and 30 feet long. Although it will be visible, the stormwater treatment system will not be visible from public parks or spaces.”
