Description: The final report of the Portland Mall Impact Study is a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of a wide range of impacts related to the Portland Transit Mall. This report assesses the primary, i.e., transit and traffic impacts and secondary, i.e., noise, air, land use and development impacts, and documents the significant impact the Portland Mall has had on revitalizing downtown. The report concludes with an economic analysis demonstrating the Portland Mall to be a good public investment, with benefits exceeding the cost. The purpose of this study was to provide useful information for public and private organizations at the : national level - on Portland's experience with a transit mall and possible applications to their locale by other local governmental agencies, and the transportation land use interaction that can be achieved through investment in transit; and, local level - for assessing impacts on operation, maintenance and possible extension of the Transit Mall.
