I-5 Bridge Replacement Project – IBR – Come Speak to the Project Team

Updates on redesign of Marine Drive, MLK and I-5 Attend the Next Association Meeting! October 11 @ 7:00 – 8:00 PM   The East Columbia Neighborhood Association is calling all neighbors to attend the next meeting in July for an update from the Interstate Bridge Replacement program.  This massive project is at a critical stage in hearing from the surrounding neighborhoods. Right now an Environmental Impact Study is being conducted. This is the time for the program to hear from East Columbia residents about how the proposed designs will impact us positvely or negatively.  Please attend next month to see the changes to Martin Luther King Jr Dr, Marine Dr, 6th Ave and Vancouver Way; among others. Residents can ask questions and express concerns to the IBR team. In addition, we will have updates from Patrick Henry, Land Use Chair, on the weekly meetings a group of neighbors have been holding to discuss the viability of a new 12 unit Cottage Cluster development on the corner of NE Meadow Drive & 13th Ave. Don’t miss the updates on this fast moving project!

TriMet is laser-focused on rolling out our Forward Together Service Concept. It’s our roadmap to expand bus service by more than 30% as we redesign our bus network to bring more service to more people. We’ve put together a bundle of improvements and adjustments that we’d like to start putting in place as soon as August of 2024. But we need the community’s help to make sure the plan we put together will best serve the transportation needs of our region. Does it fulfill our goals to increase our ridership and improve connections for people with low and limited incomes who rely on transit to get to work, school and important appointments every day?

Explore the science of environmental cleanups while learning about Willamette Cove! Test your skills with science challenges All-ages scavenger hunt and games Exploration stations for learning about Willamette Cove history and cleanup science Meet the environmental scientists working at Willamette Cove Connect with community groups About Willamette Cove: The Willamette River holds historical, natural, and cultural significance for our region’s Tribes. Since time immemorial, Indigenous people have relied on the river for traditional ceremonies, celebrations and harvests that are essential cultural practices. Today, Tribes and local Indigenous communities are among the most impacted by environmental contamination. Willamette Cove is a former industrial site in North Portland along the east bank of the Willamette River. The in-water, shoreline, and upland areas of Willamette Cove require environmental cleanup to address human and ecological health risks from historical industrial contamination for the site to become a nature park in the future. Event Partners: The event is sponsored by the City of Portland, Oregon Department of State Lands, Port of Portland, and Metro. Co-sponsors: Blueprint Foundation, Portland Harbor Community Coalition, Portland Harbor Community Advisory Group , and Portland Audubon.
