The Transit Oriented Development Program in Portland, OR has received this year's American Planning Association National Planning Excellence Award for Best Practice.
The very opening photograph is quite misleading when trying to justify Portland's "Transit Oriented Development". What you are looking at is an eight-lane freeway (the Sunset Highway) overlooking the Oregon Zoo and Children's Museum at Washington Park.
Where does that eight-lane freeway go to behind the camera? Washington County - Beaverton, Hillsboro...all the way to Forest Grove, 20 miles of suburbs.
