@ Metro Regional Center council chamber : 600 NE Grand Ave., Portland
Public hearing: Lake Oswego to Portland Transit and Trail Alternatives Analysis
The cities of Lake Oswego and Portland, Clackamas and Multnomah counties, TriMet, Oregon Department of Transportation and Metro have coordinated to study options to provide transit, bike and pedestrian connections between Lake Oswego and Portland. The process is guided by a steering committee co-chaired by Metro Councilors Rex Burkholder and Brian Newman and made up of elected officials from each of the partner agencies. The project is expected to result in a recommendation from the Metro Council on which options to move forward into an environmental analysis.
Prior to that, and after a public open house, the citizen-based project advisory committee and the technical advisory committee will make a locally preferred alternative recommendation to the steering committee. The steering committee will review these two recommendations, take public comment at this hearing and make a recommendation to project partners. Local jurisdictions will be asked to adopt a resolution in support of the locally preferred alternative recommendation. The Metro Council will consider all public comments and resolutions from local governments before adopting a preferred alternative.
