What is CRC doing to ensure an attractive bridge will be built?
The project and the project’s Urban Design Advisory Group (UDAG) are taking into consideration public concern for an aesthetically pleasing bridge. UDAG advises CRC on the appearance and design of bridge, transit and highway improvements. This bi-state group is led by Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard and Portland Mayor Sam Adams. The 14 members from Oregon and Washington contribute diverse professional and community perspectives on a variety of topics including architecture, aesthetic design, cultural and historic resources, community connections, and sustainability. UDAG developed draft design guidelines to meet these concerns as well as the constraints of navigational marine and aviation space.
