City Council will vote on a  resolution to adopt the Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project Preferred Alternative .  This agenda item is a resolution and will be heard
Thursday, November 1, 2018 at 2pm Time Certain.  The following link will take you to Resolution 1135.  You can scroll down to review "Exhibit A", SW Corridor Light Rail.

 
 
Many Homestead residents recently prepared comments for City Council regarding the SW Corridor Project and of particular interest to Homestead residents, the SW Connector (from Barbur to OHSU) portion of this project.  Other neighborhood organizations were also very active meeting with Council members and sending letters.  Many of us are hopeful that City Council will encourage Metro and Tri-Met to delay the fast track of this project and back up a bit so they can review the decisions and outcomes more carefully.  

It is not too late  to submit your comments.  If you cannot attend and wish to submit your written testimony reference Council Agenda Item No.1135 or the SW Corridor Plan, send to the Council Clerk at  cctestimony@portlandoregon.gov
