| 29 | 2024-11-12T23:24:32+00:00 | Portland Bureau of Environmental Services <PortlandBES@info.portland.gov> | Buckman-Kerns Green Street and Sewer Project Update: November 12, 2024 | | Buckman-Kerns Green Street and Sewer Project Contact: Debbie Caselton, Community Outreach Debbie.Caselton@portlandoregon.gov, 503-823-2831 | | Environmental Services is constructing a project that will install and upsize public sewer pipes and construct green street planters in the Buckman and Kerns neighborhoods. These improvements will increase sewer capacity, relieve sewer backups, and help reduce street flooding. General Schedule Construction is ongoing and is anticipated to be finished by early 2026. Work occurs in stages, and not all at once. What’s Happening Now All work is weather-dependent and subject to change. Remainder of this week: Remainder of this week: Construction will resume during work hours between 7:00am and 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Work may be done on some Saturdays, as well at the following locations: - Continue to install trenchless sewer connections using Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lining (CIPP) at the following locations: - SE Main St between SE 20th and 21st avenues. - SE Main St east of SE 24th Ave. - SE Taylor St between SE 23rd and 24th avenues. - SE Taylor St between SE 25th and 26th avenues. - SE 27th Ave between SE Stark and Pine streets. - SE 32nd Ave south of SE Pine St. Continue work on ADA ramps and green street construction at the following locations: - SE 19th Ave mid-block between SE Washington and Alder streets. - SE Alder St and SE 16th Ave. - SE Alder St and SE 18th Ave (west and east of 18th). - SE 16th Ave and SE Morrison St. - SE 20th Ave south of SE Belmont St. Week of November 18: Construction will resume during work hours between 7:00am and 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Work may be done on some Saturdays, as well at the following locations: - Continue to install trenchless sewer connections using Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lining (CIPP) at the following locations: - SE Main St between SE 20th and 21st avenues. - SE Main St east of SE 24th Ave. - SE Taylor St between SE 23rd and 24th avenues. - SE Taylor St between SE 25th and 26th avenues. - SE 27th Ave between SE Stark and Pine streets. - SE 32nd Ave south of SE Pine St. - Pave at the following locations (weather dependent): - SE Stark St between SE 16th and 17th avenues. - SE 16th Ave south of SE Stark St. Continue work on ADA ramps and green street construction at the following locations: - SE 19th Ave mid-block between SE Washington and Alder streets. - SE Alder St and SE 16th Ave. - SE Alder St and SE 18th Ave (west and east of 18th). - SE 16th Ave and SE Morrison St. - SE 20th Ave south of SE Belmont St. Green street planters are built in phases with periods of inactivity between each phase. Excavation will happen first, then the contractor will build forms and pour concrete. Once the concrete has set, crews will return to fill the planters with soil. Plants and trees will be installed later when weather conditions are appropriate to plant. Please note: The holes that will be excavated for each green street planter will look bigger than the finished product. | | One Tree Removal at SE 18th and Alder In the coming weeks, one street tree will be removed at the intersection of SE 18th Ave and Alder St. A large diameter (29 inches) Hedge Maple located on the SE corner on the east side of 18th needs to be removed to make way for the ADA ramp. The tree has very large, shallow roots and is leaning about 10 degrees towards the adjacent property. Environmental Services worked with City of Portland Urban Forestry to identify ways to avoid removing this tree. However, the construction of the sewer/stormwater and ADA ramp at the corner would compromise the tree's stability as well as its future health. Unfortunately, due to its proximity to the stop sign and intersection, we are not allowed to replant a tree at this location. | | | Project Area The map below illustrates the entire project area in the Buckman and Kerns neighborhoods where sewer improvements and green street planters are being constructed. The project area is between SE 14th to SE 29th avenues and SE Hawthorne Blvd to SE Stark St in the Buckman neighborhood, and SE Stark to SE Everett streets and SE 22nd to 32nd avenues in the Kerns neighborhood. What to Expect During Construction A brief guide on what you can expect during construction projects conducted by Environmental Services and their contractors can be found at portland.gov/bes/constructionimpacts. Construction Methods The contractor will use open trench excavation and cured-in-place-pipe lining (CIPP) to construct sewer and stormwater improvements. Most of the mainline public sewer pipes will be replaced with the open trench excavation method.
