---

The Urban Design Advisory Group (UDAG) advises CRC on the appearance and architectural design of bridge, transit and highway improvements. UDAG members from Oregon and Washington contribute diverse professional and community perspectives on a variety of topics including architecture, aesthetic design, cultural and historic resources, community connections and sustainability.

Recommendations

Research conducted by the group provides project staff with information on bridge aesthetic options, community design concerns, design constraints and long-term sustainability considerations. This information along with input from sponsor agencies and public comment helps inform project design.

UDAG research and recommendations included:

• Development of a set of Design Guidelines for the main span across the Columbia River and the urban design of all other elements of the five mile corridor.

• Recommendation of a two-structure crossing for the replacement bridge across the Columbia River.

• Development of an Architectural Design Concept Document that provides additional design direction for the main span across the Columbia River.
