Transportation: PMLR CAC Jan. 21 Meeting Report

Update from the CAC meeting, Jan. 21, 2010

The Milwaukie Portland Light Rail Citizens Advisory Committee meeting discussed a couple topics of importance to the AJC neighborhood notably a new traffic analysis (see links below). I expressed our concerns about the traffic signal changes as outlined in our letter. Neighborhood resident Linda Hattlelid made a long and informative speech that will go in the meeting minutes.

Those who care about the issue will need to follow up with their elected officials to have any impact on this issue. Also read the note from Police Chief Jordan at the end of this report.

We will need to request it and write the conditions under which we’d accept it, but we could be the first community in the region to toll people cutting through our neighborhood if we are interested.
