Burnside Couch Couplet Project Begins

After years (and years) of planning, negotiating and finding funding streams, the Burnside Couch Couplet will finally begin construction. A construction company has recently been picked and the neighbors (most of them anyway) have been notified.

A groundbreaking event is scheduled for Wednesday, August 12th from 1:00 – 2:00 at the corner of NE 8th and Burnside. The project will begin on Couch and is scheduled to take up to two years to complete.

In the meantime, please remember those businesses on Burnside that will be impacted! You can visit the Lower Burnside Retail Business website by visiting http://www.lowereastendpdx.com/.
