Greetings Members of the Gateway PAC!
This is a friendly reminder that we will be meeting next Wednesday, May 13 from 6:30 – 8:00 PM in Classroom 1 at the East Portland Community Center (740 SE 106th Avenue); I’ve attached a draft agenda for your review. We’ll spend a good deal of this meeting discussing the update to the Gateway Master Street Plan and the upcoming June 10 Open House. In addition, the PDC Board recently approved changes to our financial assistance programs to make them more appealing during the down economy; I’ll share these changes with you and have some brochures to hand out.
Finally, some good news! The Portland Bureau of Transportation has received $2 million in federal funding for Phase 2 of the 102nd Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project. These funds will go towards improvements between Glisan and Burnside, very similar to those recently completed between Glisan and Weidler. Funding will be allocated in the 2012-13 fiscal year, but PBOT is trying to expedite and have funding available for 2011-12. A hearty thank you to all who advocated for funding Phase 2, your efforts were invaluable!
Please let me know if you will not be able to attend next week. Otherwise, see you on the 13th!
Justin
