Safety and Security Task Force to Tour Portland to Milwaukie Alignment |
|
|
The citizen Safety and Security Task Force charged with recommending measures that will help create a safer Portland to Milwaukie Light Rail project will tour the proposed alignment at its next meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 7th.
Task Force members, and all who are interested in taking the tour, will meet at Milwaukie City Hall at 4 p.m. The tour will follow the alignment northward along the Tillamook Branch railroad, through SE Portland to the OMSI area, where a bridge would cross the Willamette River to the South Waterfront Area. The tour will pay special attention to potential station areas, which in Milwaukie includes locations at Bluebird, Washington, Monroe and Harrison Streets, Lake Road and the former Southgate site in the North Industrial Area. The group will discuss the safety and security issues posed at each site and talk about which sites might offer the better environments.
A series of public workshops more closely examining Milwaukie’s potential station areas will be held early next year. Please check future editions of The Pilot for further details, or the Portland to Milwaukie Light Rail public meeting calendar that is currently posted on the City’s website, which shows all of the public meetings associated with the project.
