Foster road runs through the heart of several neighborhood communities and is not merely a transportation corridor, as some suggest. While car commuters currently dominate and limit the use of Foster Road, it is a unique section of Portland that has much more to offer; it is time to rethink and share the space.
I support the Foster Streetscape plan http://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/57866 that seeks to redesign Foster Road with the intent of enhancing the livability of those who live and work in the neighborhoods surrounding Foster Road.
