Cedar Hills Crossing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cedar Hills Crossing, formerly the Beaverton Mall, is a retail shopping center in the city of Beaverton, Oregon, United States. The center is notable in that it was the prior site of an historic airport, Bernard's Airport, where many of the early aircraft innovations of the 1920s and 1930s occurred.

The Beaverton Mall has been in operation since 1969, and is located approximately at the intersection of SW Cedar Hills Boulevard and Jenkins Road. An underground chemical release at the site of the Beaverton Mall was discovered in the 1980s.[1] Considerable analysis of this release, along with other on site environmental factors, has been conducted to provide for safety of mall patrons and area residents.[1][2][3] At least through the period 1970 to 1990 (the interval when the release occurred) the center functioned in compliance with most local governmental standards for environmental regulation.[1]

[edit] History

Previous to the mall's construction, the site was a small airport known as Watts Airport and thence as Bernard's Airport.[1] In 2002, tenants and operators of the Beaverton Mall were successful in removing the Fairfield-Ternan connection through the Beaverton Mall site from the proposed local street master plan.[4]
