Lombard Street is a main thoroughfare in Portland, Oregon, United States. It serves as a boundary and main commercial street for several north Portland neighborhoods.
Lombard Street begins at Columbia Blvd. about 2.7 miles south of the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. From here, it crosses the Columbia Slough and briefly runs southwest before turning south, serving as a primary industrial arterial. It then crosses above a railroad junction which serves that industrial area. It passes Schnitzer Steel and Pier Park before continuing into Downtown St. Johns as the main commercial street. At the end of that section, it crosses an intersection with Richmond Avenue, at which point it takes over the U.S. Route 30 Bypass (US 30 Byp.) designation. Lombard continues as a primarily commercial street through several neighborhoods (listed below).
Lombard turns slightly as it passes Columbia Park and continues east. It crosses Interstate Avenue (OR 99W). It then passes over Interstate 5 (I-5), providing access to the freeway via a half-cloverleaf interchange. Next, it crosses OR 99E (Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard), at which point it becomes a primarily industrial thoroughfare, employing interchanges for all but one of its four-way crossings. At its intersection with NE 10th Avenue, it turns southeast and continues until it passes over Interstate 205, at which point the street's designation as Lombard ends and it continues as NE Sandy Blvd.
Several radial TriMet bus lines serve portions of Lombard Street.
Lombard Street holds several different historical names because of North Portland's history as a series of smaller communities that were annexed by Portland. In Kenton and Albina, it was named Pippin Street. [4] In Portsmouth, it was named Dawson Street. [5] As the main street of St. Johns' commercial core, it was named Jersey Street. [6]
Historically, Lombard Street was home to a large segment of the "St. Johns" streetcar line, which ran from Albina to St. Johns between 1889 and 1937. The Kenton Stockyard line also traveled up a portion of Lombard between 1909 and 1928. [7] [8]
Rail still exists under the asphalt in some parts of the street, including some slated for removal by the Portland Bureau of Transportation in plans for the N Lombard Main Street renewal project. [9] In July 2020, the Portland City Council passed an ordinance to rename a section of Northeast Killingsworth Street to Northeast Lombard Street, which would be extended to provide a consistent name across the northeast of the city. The new terminus of Lombard Street is at Sandy Boulevard near Interstate 205. [10]
The St. Johns Parade has been held annually for over 50 years, and uses Lombard between N Burr Avenue and Downtown St. Johns as the main part of its route. [11]
