Photos from 1986, must have come off the Back Cove Trail.

Should put it back for the new redevelopment of the B&M Factory. Not sure who to share this with, feel free to send around.

Thanks Zack!

He said "photos" but only one came through.  Does he have more?

Reactions:

1.) You can almost taste and smell the leaded gasoline!

2.) Amazing the beautiful NEON signage lasted until at least the mid-1980s.  The ROUX Institute would get a LOT of goodwill if they would bring back that NEON.  Here is the old sign auditioning for a part in a classic film noir scene:  "Burnham and Morrill, ca.1960" (portlandlibrary.com)

3.)  This overpass is pre-ADA and probably pre-a lot of standards that would make it hard and costly to re-build today including suicide prevention.  No surprise that ROUX is spending energy going UNDER and not OVER.

10 plus years ago a pedestrian walkway across Franklin Street at Marginal Way was pegged at a million plus.  There were also logistical issues not resolved in the concept.

A pedestrian overpass over Tukey's would be a lot more expensive and in my opinion would be as impracticable as one over Franklin Arterial.

I would suggest we should put this in the category of It ain't going to happen and move on.
