  • A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.<br />
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.<br />
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city.  Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon. <br />
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case.  Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect.  The asphalt layer is minimal; confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The size variation of aggregate chunks in the base course layer tells the story of a roadway constructed originally from well-graded materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock.  The breakup of pavement behind and to the left of Pelon – at the gutter – suggests that poor drainage played a role in this failure, and absence or repair has allowed water to saturate the base layers and complete the failure.  This road has failed due to neglect and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.<br />

Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect.  At this pothole, the asphalt layer is thick; confirming this road has received an overlay, but perhaps covering up this pothole without first repairing it. The base course layer is hard to characterize because the quantity of water present. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock.  This dangerous pothole, in the traveled way and where pedestrians cross, can be repaired by cutting out and reconstructing, but simply patching or overlaying will rapidly lead to a repeat failure, preventing a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.<br />

  • The Living Roof of the California Academy of Sciences building within Golden Gate Park, and adjacent to the De Young Museum.  The roof provides stormwater management for both flow reduction and water quality.  The living roof contains over 40 native California plant species and provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, particularly butterflies.  The rooftop's seven undulating green hillocks pay homage to the iconic topography of San Francisco and blurs the boundary between building and parkland.  Living roofs significantly reduce Heat Island Effect, and the vent windows help manage interior climate.

  • FEC New River Bridge (1978) is a single-leaf bascule railroad bridge spanning the navigable New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The design type is a through plate girder bridge of total span 70 feet /21.3m, providing a horizontal boat navigable clearance of 60 feet/18.3m. Additionally, the bridge comprises three 25-foot approach spans, plus a 14-foot machinery room span, from the north; and two 25-foot spans from the south. Notable was the use of weathering steel to eliminate environmental concerns around initial and future painting. By 1985, the weathering steel had reportedly reached a stable condition for its environment. One of the design criteria for this bridge was to double-track the crossing, removing the bottleneck of a single track bridge at this location dating back to 1912. Now, in the 21st Century, as freight trains are once again sharing the tracks with passenger trains operated by Brightline, alternatives are being studied through the New River Crossing Feasibility Study to further expand capacity by tunnel and various fixed/movable bridge replacement options.

  • Mount Hood 3,426m (11,239ft) viewed from Portland, Oregon.  The left skyline is the Northwest Ridge (named Cathedral Ridge); the right skyline is the Southeast Ridge.  The bulge in the Southeast Ridge is called the Steel Cliff.  Mount Hood is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of Northern Oregon. Sunrise provides backlighting glow to radiation fog (Valley Fog) filling the valleys on this cool autumn morning. Radiation fog results from radiation cooling of the ground and adjacent air under clear night skies and elevated relative humidity, most common in autumn. Normally, this fog dissipates within a few hours of sunrise as the sun warms the ground.

  • Clay Shaw Bridge (2001), also called the 17th Street Causeway Bridge, is a pair of twin parallel 54-foot-wide causeway structures, each incorporating a double-leaf bascule bridge, separated by a 13-foot open air median. This new bridge, spanning 210 feet between trunnions, increases navigable waterway width of the Intracoastal Waterway from 100 feet to 125 feet, and vertical clearance from 22 feet to 55 feet, over the previous 1956 bridge at this location – the Commodore Brook Memorial Causeway. Striking features of this bridge are its V-shaped Carina piers (providing excellent visibility for shipping navigation) and the Art Deco-style bridge operator’s house. Also notable are the open traffic railings (for greater vista visibility), emergency shoulders, bicycle lanes and sidewalks – with pedestrian overlooks incorporated into the bascule spans. Owner: Florida Department of Transport; Design consultant for piers and bascule bridge: EC Driver & Associates; Design of Bridge Structures: FIGG Bridge Engineers; Roadway: Keith & Schnars.

  • Peter DeFazio Bridge (1999) is a pedestrian and bicycle suspension bridge across the Willamette River in Eugene. Its eye-catching form displays interesting and unique architecture, with a modernist take on the classic suspension bridge. The DeFazio Bridge is celebrated for providing transportation and recreation opportunities that are in harmony with the natural environment, conveniently connecting several multi-use pathways and serving as primary bicycle-pedestrian artery between downtown Eugene and neighborhoods north of the river. Gradual grades on main span, approach ramps and stairs make this bridge the functional equivalent of the ultimate freeway spaghetti-interchange for pedestrians and bicyclists, yet its artful architecture compliments the beautiful urban park setting of Alton Baker Park. The DeFazio Bridge enhances accessibility to, and use of, the park – a marvel of modern bridge engineering. The bridge was designed by Jiri Strasky of Strasky Husty and Partners, and OBEC Consulting Engineers, built by Mowat Construction Company, and named after the Oregon Congressman. Lane County, Oregon, USA.

  • The Water Garden is a series of three cascading stormwater planters on Vine Street in Seattle, performing flow control and treatment for urban runoff in a visible and demonstrative way, bringing public awareness to the City’s water conservation efforts.  The Water Garden is set in a curb-extension micro-park within the public right-of-way and treats stormwater that discharges from the Beckoning Cistern, a functional urban stormwater sculpture by Buster Simpson.  The Water Garden features plantings of ferns, shrubs and water plants, designed to provide treatment through biofiltration and other Green Street processes.  The Water Garden is part of the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street initiative in Seattle’s Belltown district.

Also notable are the open traffic railings (for greater vista visibility), emergency shoulders, bicycle lanes and sidewalks – with pedestrian overlooks incorporated into the bascule spans. Owner: Florida Department of Transport; Design consultant for piers and bascule bridge: EC Driver & Associates; Design of Bridge Structures: FIGG Bridge Engineers; Roadway: Keith & Schnars. Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida, USA.

  • FEC New River Bridge (1978) is a single-leaf bascule railroad bridge spanning the navigable New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The design type is a through plate girder bridge of total span 70 feet /21.3m, providing a horizontal boat navigable clearance of 60 feet/18.3m. Additionally, the bridge comprises three 25-foot approach spans, plus a 14-foot machinery room span, from the north; and two 25-foot spans from the south. Notable was the use of weathering steel to eliminate environmental concerns around initial and future painting. By 1985, the weathering steel had reportedly reached a stable condition for its environment. One of the design criteria for this bridge was to double-track the crossing, removing the bottleneck of a single track bridge at this location dating back to 1912. Now, in the 21st Century, as freight trains are once again sharing the tracks with passenger trains operated by Brightline, alternatives are being studied through the New River Crossing Feasibility Study to further expand capacity by tunnel and various fixed/movable bridge replacement options.

  • Peter DeFazio Bridge (1999) is a pedestrian and bicycle suspension bridge across the Willamette River in Eugene. Its eye-catching form displays interesting and unique architecture, with a modernist take on the classic suspension bridge. The DeFazio Bridge is celebrated for providing transportation and recreation opportunities that are in harmony with the natural environment, conveniently connecting several multi-use pathways and serving as primary bicycle-pedestrian artery between downtown Eugene and neighborhoods north of the river. Gradual grades on main span, approach ramps and stairs make this bridge the functional equivalent of the ultimate freeway spaghetti-interchange for pedestrians and bicyclists, yet its artful architecture compliments the beautiful urban park setting of Alton Baker Park. The DeFazio Bridge enhances accessibility to, and use of, the park – a marvel of modern bridge engineering. The bridge was designed by Jiri Strasky of Strasky Husty and Partners, and OBEC Consulting Engineers, built by Mowat Construction Company, and named after the Oregon Congressman. Lane County, Oregon, USA.

  • The active Shark Island Lighthouse (steel lattice tower on left) stands just to seaward of the historic 1903 Shark Island Lighthouse (right), located atop the rugged granite peninsula that provides natural shelter to the tiny harbor of Luderitz.  The old lighthouse is a 12m (40 ft) square tower with attached 1-story keeper's house.  The lantern has been removed and the building has been made available for overnight accommodations, offering adventurous tourists the opportunity the stay in this genuine light house steeped in the maritime history of Namibia's rugged coastline, notorious for its harsh weather.

  • Stormwater Management Facilities in the right-of-way provide water quality function before flows infiltrate at dry wells under the streets.  The engineered soil is the filter medium.  The inlet with steel grate is an overflow, to prevent backup flooding in the streets during storms of greater intensity or extended duration.  New Columbia project for the Housing Authority of Portland.
