Hood \n Freeway, an ill-conceived adjustment to Moses' original vision. The eight-lane highway would \n have obliterated some long-established Southeast Portland neighborhoods and cut others off \n from the rest of the city. The freeway plan finally died in the mid-1970s. \n By this time -- thanks to Gov. McCall, among other political leaders and activists -- the Portland \n metro region was easing away from the car-centric planning model Moses advocated. The \n Harbor Drive freeway was removed and an urban growth boundary enacted. In 1986, some three \n decades after Portland had begun paving over the extensive 19th- and early 20th century streetcar \n tracks in the city, TriMet's light rail launched. A new Portland identity began to take shape.","bbox":{"left":0.117647,"top":0.03753,"width":0.764176,"height":0.321576}},{"text":"Most May Day protesters released from jail as prosecutors \n wait for police to finish investigations \n By Jim Ryan \n May 2, 2017 \n Most protesters arrested during Portland's May Day riot on Monday have been released from \n custody as prosecutors wait for police to conclude their investigations. \n Portland Police Bureau officers arrested 25 people during the protest, which was declared a riot \n about 90 minutes after a permitted march began after a rally at Shemanski Park on downtown's \n South Park Blocks. \n Portland Police Chief Mike Marshman estimated about 600 to 700 people participated in the \n permitted rally and march — many fewer than he and the bureau anticipated — and that he was \n surprised the black bloc and anarchist element began causing problems early in the event. \n Eighteen adults were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor crimes and have May 15 court dates, \n said Haley Rayburn, a Multnomah County deputy district attorney. Prosecutors are waiting on \n the investigation before pursuing charges against three arrested on suspicion of felonies. \n Another protester arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer pleaded not guilty to a \n lesser charge Tuesday and could also face more protest-related charges later, Rayburn said. \n Three underage protesters were referred to the county's juvenile department. \n Two of the 22 adults remained jailed early Tuesday evening, according to jail records. Police \n previously said the juveniles were released to parents. \n Rayburn said prosecutors will review all cases and intend to file charges in cases where crimes \n were committed. \n Her office has worked out a system for dealing with mass arrest cases, giving more time for \n police to wrap up their reports and for prosecutors to review all evidence and make decisions on \n charges, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Kirsten Snowden.","bbox":{"left":0.117647,"top":0.397341,"width":0.7594110000000001,"height":0.524341}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
