PSU Center for Transportation Studies
Transportation Seminar

May 30, 2008

Speaker: Steve Szigethy and Jamison Kelleher

Topic: Imagine 82nd

Steve Szigethy and Jamison Kelleher, a team of graduate students in PSU's Master of Urban and Regional Planning program, will present their Planning Workshop project entitled "Imagine 82nd." The project engaged residents, businesses, property owners and students along NE 82nd Avenue in Portland to develop a comprehensive vision for the future of the corridor. Imagine 82nd deals with the portion of 82nd Avenue between the Banfield Expressway and NE Sandy Boulevard, 1.3 miles in length. This particular stretch is home to many retail and service businesses that typify the rest of 82nd Avenue, but it also includes Madison High School, a major corporate headquarters, and a 20-acre vacant brownfield site.  At this seminar, Steve Szigethy and Jamison Kelleher will present the  vision concepts they developed with the community, with particular emphasis on transportation and land use components.
