What's Happening Now

Environmental Services is currently in the early stages of project design. This design effort will continue for the remaineder of 2025. During design, crews will be in the area conducting investigations and survey work.

You may see paint markings, stakes, and small flags in the ground identifying the locations of utilities and sewer and/or stormwater infrastructure. Different marking colors identify the types of utilities that have been located. If you are interested in learning more about what each color means, or for more information on the survey and inspection process, please visit www.portland.gov/bes/preconstruction.
