Portland Parks and Recreation (PPR) did not respond to the original Notice of Proposal or to repeated staff requests before the September 28, 2017 Design Commission hearing. Following the November 30, 2017 Design Commission hearing, PPR staff met with Design Review staff and the applicants to discuss the Greenway trail proposal. The outcome of that meeting resulted in the applicants revising their design of the Greenway trail; see Exhibits H-74 and H-75 for additional details. PPR staff then responded to these design revisions on 12/14/2017 with a recommendation of support for the revised Greenway trail design, which they saw as “a substantial improvement over the existing Greenway on the site”. PPR staff also requested and “strongly encourage[d]” that the applicants remove the existing seawall guardrail and install a new guardrail closer to the river on the seawall to add additional space on the Greenway trail. Please see Exhibit H-79 for additional details.

If the proposal as approved by the Design Commission is not sufficient it's not clear what is.
