Refined Development Concepts
During this stage of the planning process, designers improve preliminary development concepts and study them with more detail, incorporating feedback they've heard since they first presented these concepts in September. The next step in the process is to select a preferred option to further refine and study.
These development concepts are the result of feedback and input from the Broadway Corridor Steering Committee, the public at Open Houses, online surveys, pop-up events, and city staff and consultants.
Creation of the Refined Development Concepts
Extensive public input has guided the development of these refined development concepts including input from the public during the July and September Open Houses and Online Open Houses, focus groups, stakeholder interviews, the Steering Committee, and City staff and consultant study team members.
How Your Input Will Be Used
Your input will be considered by the decision-making team (including leadership from Prosper Portland, the Mayor’s Office, and Portland Housing Bureau) when they select a preferred concept in March 2019. Your input is important in ensuring the Broadway Corridor site is inclusive of you and your family and is a transformative project for our city.

What is a disruptive statement?
A statement
containing personal attacks, profanity, commercial advertising or content which is entirely off-topic, and/or
from a user who has falsified their registration information with the intent to post multiple statements in one topic or to misrepresent their city of residence.
Why does Open Town Hall monitor for disruptive statements?
OpenGov is a non-partisan company dedicated to building public trust in government and broadening civic engagement. Many people will not participate if the forum has disruptive statements.
Does Open Town Hall find many disruptive statements?
No. Disruptive statements are quite rare - less than one in a thousand statements are disruptive.
What does Open Town Hall do if they find a disruptive statement?
Open Town Hall
moves the statement to a different web page,
describes the problem in an email to the author, and
invites the author to change the statement.
Does Open Town Hall ever edit or delete statements?
Never. Only the statement's author can edit or delete a statement.
If I disagree with someone, can I post my opinion?
Yes. Open Town Hall encourages open dialog which, by necessity, includes disagreements.
How do I know if my statement is a 'disagreement' or a 'personal attack'?
Personal attacks are disparaging remarks which impute motives to a person's action. Statements of fact, or of your own opinion are generally not personal attacks.
Here are some examples of statements which are, and are not, personal attacks.
Personal Attack
Not A Personal Attack
