This is an important step in a growing effort to raise awareness of the needs along 82nd, in providing avenues for feedback about needed changes, and in learning about potential state funding from the 2015 legislature. The event will include brief presentations from Kelley Brooks from ODOT, Brian Wong from the 82nd Avenue Improvement Coalition, and Randy Tucker from Metro/Oregon Transportation Forum. They will discuss the current planning process for an 82nd Ave. transportation study, the process for potentially transferring 82nd Ave. from the state to the City of Portland, and an update on potential funding sources for improvements along 82nd. With the 2015 legislative session approaching, now is a great time to get plugged in.There will be time for public comments, followed by brief remarks from legislators and other elected officials; please come join us!
