In 1909 the Olmsted Brothers provided suggestions for the development of Terwilliger Boulevard in Portland, Oregon after the 115-acre parkway was born from the 1903 report on Portland Parks. The firm provided recommendations of the dimensions of the boulevard. Considering the funds available to the Board of park Commissioners, they stated “the width of roadway of 24 ft is the most it would be reasonable grade at this time, and I think it is quite likely that this width will serve sufficiently well for a good many years to come.” [Olmsted Brothers to M.L.T.
