The City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability is conducting the SE 122nd Avenue Pilot Study - a Portland Plan pilot study exploring opportunities to create a more healthy, sustainable, and viable “20-minute neighborhood” along SE 122nd Avenue.
The project is forming a Community Working Group (CWG) composed of representatives of affected neighborhood and business associations, representatives of the diverse interests in the community, and other at-large members. The CWG is expected to meet up to once a month to share information, act as liaisons to other community interests, and serve as a sounding board for project staff as the study proceeds. Recruitment for the community Working Group ends on October 15. If you are interested in being part of this group, you can find an application on the Bureau's website at www dot portlandonlinedot com slash bps slash se122study.
