Portland Or Development And Redevelopment

Another 24 hours have rolled off into the sunset without a single bowling ball crashing from the Vista Avenue Viaduct. For yet another day, and by now about six whole months free of bowling ball droppings, the people of Portland owe their thanks to D.J. Galloway, brave and vigilant bowling ball patrolwoman. Galloway spends eight hours a day, six days a week perched on the concrete bridge, keeping a lookout for errant bowlers.

Nanette Watson never met a suburban subdivision she liked. As president of Willamette Valley Development Inc., the woman in faux leopard fur and a floppy knit cap has helped transform the landscape of this graceful old river town--and she's done it where it hurts, in the heart of its historic neighborhoods. Watson is in the right place: Portland has done more than any American city to check the poisonous seep of urban sprawl.

The Portland Trail Blazers announced plans to build an arena seating 16,000 to 20,000, to be completed by the start of the 1994-95 NBA season. The project will cost an estimated $125 million to $150 million.
