The Homestead Neighborhood Association normally meets the First Tuesday of every month, 7pm at the OHSU Child Development and Rehabilitation Center; 707 SW Gaines, Third Floor.
Homestead Neighborhood Association will meet Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at 7pm. The agenda will be available on the website.
The Homestead Neighborhood Association is currently working on developing priorities for some of the many transportation issues that exist on the hill.
A transportation priority list has been developed by Homestead Neighborhood Association. The results will be forwarded to the City for review and possible inclusion in the City's transportation work. This inclusive list is part of an online survey for persons living within the Homestead boundaries. Survey address is http://swni.org/homestead/survey.
The board is also working to renew the Marquam Hill Meter District. This
district
was created in 2009 with the objective of providing greater on-street short term parking near OHSU while at the same time providing funds for transportation improvements in the surrounding neighborhoods. The program called for revenue sharing from the installation of 16 pay station. It was agreed that 50% of the net revenue would be set aside for implementation of Homestead's Transportation Improvement Priorities.
One project has been completed using the meter district funds. It is the 11th Avenue sidewalk and re-paving project. The current balance is approximately $236,000. The Meter District Allocation Advisory Committee will reconvene and confirm Homestead's Transportation priorities.
It is thought that it might be a positive for the city when reviewing Homestead's transportation priorities, to know that it might be possible to blend some of the meter district funds with the city's should the selected projects prove to be too costly.
If you live within the Homestead boundaries, it is important that you give your opinion by taking the Homestead Transportation Priorities Survey by May 15. The survey can be found on the Homestead website at
