Step one: Find the sewers
Portland may not know how it would pay for a new baseball stadium to lure the Montreal Expos (or failing that, maybe the Oakland A's), but at least they've hired a guy to figure out where to put it. After looking at four potential stadium sites, Portland architect John Vosmek said confidently, "We know where the water lines are and the sewer lines are." Traffic, he added, "is the main unknown infrastructure item. Traffic is a science, and there's theory involved, too. We're getting very good input." The Oregonian headline on this story: "Portland appears to have leg up in stadium planning process."
