A Project Advisory Committee (PAC) for the Oregon City - West Linn Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge Concept Plan is being assembled, and we are looking for community members. When this committee is appointed by the project partners Metro, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Clackamas County, City of West Linn and City of Oregon City it will help represent a broad set of community perspectives and review materials and provide input throughout the project. ODOT is looking for two committee members to serve on this exciting project. The selection of this committee is expected to happen quickly, as the first meeting is scheduled for January 27th, from 3-5 p.m. 

The PAC will keep the Project Management Team, made up of partner agency staff, accountable and transparent and help inform decisions. PAC members will help ensure consistency with the project's goals and to ensure that the cultural significance of this proposed crossing honors the area and community.

Project Advisory Committee will be involved in:

• Engage the community in conversations around potential crossing issues, barriers, needs, opportunities, and ideas.
• An online open house and public meetings

Committee members will meet three times in the next five months, for two hours in a virtual setting. Each meeting will require one to two hours of preparation.

Decision-makers will consider the PAC’s technical analysis relying on assessing bridge feasibility, integration, and connectivity to the adjacent biking and walking networks, as well as public input. After this project is completed, the Oregon City Commission and West Linn City Council will vote on whether to adopt the recommended preferred alignment during the summer.

Sign up by January 22, 2021, to join the PAC here.
