About the Inner Eastside Infrastructure Assessment

Portland's Inner Eastside Infrastructure Assessment evaluates the area's infrastructure capacity to facilitate zoning changes aimed at boosting housing production. The report, guided by the Housing Production Strategy, identifies necessary infrastructure improvements to accommodate anticipated growth scenarios. Collaborating bureaus include the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, Bureau of Environmental Services, Water Bureau, and Portland Bureau of Transportation. The analysis lays the groundwork for future urban planning and prioritizes capital improvement projects across city agencies. The Climate, Resilience & Land Use Committee will review the report on September 25 at 9:30 AM, marking a crucial step in addressing housing needs.

High-opportunity neighborhoods near the Central City are the focus of this initiative, reflecting Portland's commitment to sustainable urban development. The report serves as a strategic tool for guiding investments in infrastructure that support housing growth. Enhanced infrastructure will ultimately contribute to the city's resilience and livability.
