How would you invest $500 in the community? What improvements are most important to you along the Foster Corridor in East Portland?

Under Review

Thank you to everyone who shared their opinion on the 'Investing in Foster Corridor' topic on PDC Town Hall. This was a pilot program for PDC to solicit public comments through an online forum and we were very pleased with the overwhelming response we received. The comment period on PDC Town Hall closed on February 15th and your participation was greatly appreciated!  

A summary of the comments from PDC Town Hall were presented at an open house on February 28 at the Wikman-Arleta Building.

For more information on the Foster Corridor Investment Strategy Project please visit our project website: http://www.pdc.us/our-work/urban-renewal-areas/lents/current-projects/flip.aspx.

You can still participate in the Foster Corridor project by:

1. Attend the next Foster Green EcoDistrict meeting on April 15 from 7-9 pm at Mt Scott Community Center.

2. Attend the final open house to be scheduled sometime in May 2013.

3. Contact Kevin A. Cronin, Senior Project Manager at 503-823-3305 or [email protected].

Next Steps

This last phase of the Foster Corridor Investment Strategy will finalize the project priorities, sequence the projects over a five year period (or longer if needed), identify specific funding sources for each project, and assign a lead partner.

Starting in May we plan to present our draft final strategy to Foster Green, then in June to the Lents Town Center Urban Renewal Advisory Committee, PDC Board, and City Council.

However you choose to participate, thanks for helping us build a better Portland and making something happen on Foster.
