O’Bryant Square reopens this fall for the first time in five years, and when it does visitors will stroll right into the middle of the extremes roiling downtown Portland. The half-acre brick plaza closed in 2018 because of structural problems with the underground parking garage that was a condition of the donor who gave the land to the city decades earlier. Named for Portland’s first mayor, Hugh O’Bryant, it’s been fenced off since 2018 as the city put together plans to carefully fill the garage, work finally due to begin as soon as next month.

Fences come down at Portland’s troubled O’Bryant Square this fall. What comes next?
