So there is lasting confusion as to what constitutes PSU's campus, the City of Portland needs to grant Portland State University the South Park Blocks south of Market St. as its "campus mall" once and for all.
Does it benefit the City if its public university has a proper campus mall? Of course. Why, then, does the City act so foolishly as to coddle confusion through a longstanding policy of selective withholding?
Something else that adds value to both the university and the city are the sky bridges. They are rather unique and distinctive, and are a clear symbol of the university. Many more need to be installed across all the other thoroughfares (6th, 5th, 4th), and Broadway could stand one or two more.
If the City of Portland does not have a legitimate rationale to oppose their being installed, then, if they continue to oppose them (arbitrarily and capriciously) and pester the university thereby, a federal judge will need to be brought in to strike down the City's baseless opposition. No legitimate reason stands in opposition to sky bridges crossing each of the university's cityscape avenues. They hinder no vehicle.
Lots more sky bridges for Portland State. The university walking overhead on the skyways.
