If you would like to be involved with the future of the Sellwood Bridge, Multnomah County is recruiting volunteers to serve on a Community Task Force. It would be great to have some bicyclists on this committee. Here’s more information about the task force followed by a PDF of the application you can download:
“The project goal is to select and construct the alternative that best meets the needs of bridge users, neighbors and the larger community. The Community Task Force will develop criteria and evaluate and rank alternatives to meet the project’s goal.
The ideal Community Task Force volunteer is someone:
• Interested in the Sellwood Bridge project
• Available to attend monthly evening meetings for two years, starting in spring 2006
• Able to represent the interests of an organization or interest group
• With volunteer committee experienceNo professional design experience is required.”
If you’re interested, just complete an application form (PDF) and return it to Multnomah County’s Public Affairs Office by April 17, 2006.
