I-5 Construction/Destruction Notes
We intend to submit an information request to ODOT
for any reports filed containing a pre-construction pre 1960 survey of the I-5 corridor from the Terwilliger curves through the Corbett Ave exit.
What was topography before the construction?
What TOPO did they use, or make for the project?
What written survey notes or inventory of the right-of-way were made? For example, we know there was a massive retaining wall constructed for the Oregon Electric railway along there. SO, a decision was made to leave the wall in place (till 2010 anyway). Perhaps older trestles piers were removed, and so on. A topographic survey should show what the land was like south of the Fulton Park community center and garden area.
