Project Approach & Timeline

This 2-year project involves a large up-front investment to develop a clear understanding of the key issues to be addressed. City staff from several bureaus met with community representatives and experts to explore the issues and potential solutions. A stakeholder group representing a wide range of interests will be formed to help evaluate the issues and further develop a menu of possible solution options. These options will then be presented in a broader public forum before the Planning Commission and ultimately City Council for final selection and adoption of the recommended package of solutions. Larger city policy issues that arise in this project will be addressed in a more comprehensive approach through the Portland Plan. More...
