Portland’s Lloyd Center defenders couldn’t get the City Council to intervene in the mall’s imminent closure. 

The Council voted Wednesday not to uphold appeal of a master plan for the site that will see the property demolished and redeveloped into a mix of housing, retail and entertainment. 

A large contingent of loyalists had hoped the Council could save the mall, or at least the beloved ice rink. 

The Lloyd Center mall has seen a bit of resurgence lately with the addition of indie vendors who capitalized on cheap rents due to vacant shops in the mall, but planning experts say it’s a car-centric relic of the past that’s stymied the neighborhood’s vitality.
