The Eastbank Esplanade (officially Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade) is a pedestrian and bicycle path along the east shore of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] Running through the Kerns, Buckman, and Hosford-Abernethy neighborhoods, it was conceived as an urban renewal project to rebuild the Interstate 5 bicycle bypass washed out by the Willamette Valley Flood of 1996. It was renamed for former Portland mayor Vera Katz in November 2004[1] and features a statue of her near the Hawthorne Bridge.
Description
The project, designed by landscape architects Mayer/Reed, cost $30 million,[2] of which $10 million built a lower deck on the Steel Bridge.[1] The esplanade extends Шаблон:Convert from the Steel Bridge (Шаблон:Coord) to the Hawthorne Bridge (Шаблон:Coord).[1] The south end connects to the Springwater Corridor, a rail trail that runs south to Sellwood, then east to Gresham, then south to Boring. The esplanade includes a Шаблон:Convert floating walkway, the longest of its kind in the United States.[1] Connected to this is a Шаблон:Convert public dock.[1] Thirteen markers along the esplanade correspond to the eastside street grid.
History
Construction began in October 1998, and the walkway was dedicated in May 2001.[1]
The esplanade was closed for 21 days due to high river levels in 2011, the first time it had been closed since it was built.[3]
On the same day in February 2015, two dead bodies were discovered along the esplanade. The events appear to be unrelated.[4][5][6]
Public art
Public artworks installed along the esplanade include Alluvial Wall, Echo Gate, the Ghost Ship sculpture, the statue of Vera Katz and Stack Stalk.
