Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Ce parc qui longe la rivière Willamette offre une superbe vue sur le pont Hawthorne et le Downtown de Portland.

The (former mayor) Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade is a path along the east side of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. This path is used by both pedestrians and cyclists, and borders the Willamette River for 1.5 miles from the Steel Bridge to the Hawthorn Bridge.
I began by crossing the Steel Bridge and walking down the stairs to the Eastbank Esplanade walkway. I then continued walking south along the concrete path and then down the ramp to the floating walkway on the river.
The floating walkway was a little disappointing because I thought it would be more narrow, longer, and, well, more "floaty". Instead, it was a wide concrete deck that bobbed almost imperceptibly with the river waves. Though you can see the walkway moving up and down the pylons, I really couldn't feel it moving.
I read that there are interpretive panels on the 22 markers which provide information about the river and the history of the area, but I didn't see any such panels when I walked there. Boo. Maybe they are located on the section I did not walk . . . The walkway floats little more than 30 feet from the scraggly shore and freeway overpasses above. However, it is far enough to provide a good vantage point from which to take pictures of the Willamette River, passing boats, the city skyline, and the bridges in both directions.
Being that it is Portland, it won't surprise you to learn that the Esplanade was built with environmental protection as the main priority. The riverbank was restored and restructured to create shallow habitats. Native vegetation was strategically planted to minimize bank erosion and absorb and treat I-5 runoff before it enters the river.
I think it is much more interesting to walk the esplanade knowing its purpose, but you shouldn't go out of your way to walk it as an exciting floating walkway. Instead, it is a quiet, peaceful walkway that offers some beautiful views. It takes less than an hour to leisurely stroll the loop from Tom McCall waterfront park across the Steel Bridge to the Esplanade and floating walkway, then back across the Burnside Bridge to the waterfront. At a brisk pace without photo stops, it takes about 30 minutes. For a longer walk, continue walking to the Hawthorne Bridge.

Perfect for bikes or foot. There is bridge noise from cars etc. but you are in the very heart of the city just a few feet above the water.

With half a day to spare before meeting friends, this walk was a jewel. I don't live near a river, so just strolling along taking in the views was enjoyable. Walking across the Steel Bridge was a neat experience, especially when a boat came through and the pedestrian walkway had to be raised. Very cool. The floating walkway on the east side is a fun addition to the trail. I did have to be watchful of cyclists as it was a sunny warm Saturday afternoon. A great urban exercise opportunity!

The eastbank esplanade runs north from OMSI (a good place to park) to several bridges north. You can walk or run or bike and access any of the bridges by stairs. A great place to see the wonderful portland skyline.

This is a nice place to walk or ride a bike on a warm day. In the winter it's cold with the wind. There are lots of views to take pictures along the way.

This is where we placed our first lock of love. It's a fast growing trend of placing a lock on a bridge symbolizing not only your being their but your live for your partner, adventure and the city. Some cities they've had to relocated the area because of the weight added but this one is part of the long and beautiful walk along the water on the east side. If you are traveling to new cities bring a lock and have something special written/engraved. It'll always be there and you can find it when you return.

I tend to agree with other reviewers who say that mixing pedestrians and bikes is a dubious venture. I'd argue that it depends what day of the week you're going over to the esplanade and what the weather is like. For example, if it is a beautiful Saturday afternoon, the bikes tend to speed way too fast past the pedestrians along this route -- as if it were a race track. (Even on a bike, I find many of the other bicyclists annoying.) Sometimes, though, there are few bicyclists and it can be a rather pleasant walk with benches to sit at in the part that floats. If it is dark, be aware of your surroundings. I find crossing the pedestrian bridge beneath the steel bridge a wee bit disconcerting the later it gets in the evening. I also agree with a reviewer that the freeway noise can (at certain points) be annoying, especially if you're trying to walk and have a serious conversation.
