4. Project OverviewBackground
REGIONAL EARTHQUAKE
RISK
1 in 3 chance of magnitude 8+
earthquake within 50 years
CASCADIA SUBDUCTION ZONE (CSZ) EARTHQUAKELast major quake in Oregon occurred 317 years ago, a timespan that exceeds 75% of
the intervals between the major quakes to hit Oregon over the last 10,000 years.

4. Project OverviewBackground
CALL TO ACTION
2015 Willamette River Bridges Capital Improvement Plan identified the Burnside Bridge as number one priority for seismic resiliency
![Page 8: Community Task Force Meeting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012408/616a33c711a7b741a34fec54/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

4. Project OverviewBackground – Why Burnside?
• Metro declared all of Burnside Street a regional lifeline route
• Burnside Street runs almost 19 miles, from the Washington County line in the west to Mount Hood Highway (US 26) in the east
• Located in the heart of downtown, the Burnside Bridge is a key link across the Willamette River
• Burnside Street was chosen because it had the fewest risks of having overpasses collapse on it during an earthquake
![Page 9: Community Task Force Meeting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012408/616a33c711a7b741a34fec54/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

4. Project OverviewBackground – Why Burnside?
I-5From Columbia River to I-205 (24 miles), has 143 seismically vulnerable structures.
I-405From Fremont Bridge to Marquam Bridge (4.5 miles), has 49 seismically vulnerable structures.
I-84 From I-5 to I-205 (7 miles), has 35seismically vulnerable structures.
Burnside Street From US-26 in Beaverton to Mt. Hood Highway in Gresham (19 miles), has 6 seismically vulnerable structures.

4. Project OverviewPurpose
Create a seismically resilient Burnside Street lifeline crossing of the Willamette River that will remain fully operational and accessible for vehicles and other modes of transportation immediately following a major CSZ earthquake.
Support the region’s ability to provide rapid and reliable emergency response, rescue and evacuation after a major earthquake, as well as enable post-earthquake economic recovery.
Provide a long-term, low-maintenance and safe crossing for all users.

5. September EngagementWhat We Heard
Desire for bike paths, pedestrian paths and bus only lanes
Urgency to get the project done earlier
More support for movable than fixed, but some support for both
Most said they agree or strongly agree with choice of recommended options, remarking that they were reasonable and well thought out
More support for a new bridge than a retrofit, but still some support for retrofit
Concerns about impacts to nearby buildings and the overall transportation system
Views and aesthetics should still be considered, making the bridge an “iconic” part of Portland
Interest in keeping some historical components/aesthetics of the bridge, concern for demolishing the bridge and its historical importance
