Decisions about the future of transit in the Powell-Division corridor start with conversations – and one of those is coming next week.
The project's steering committee – which will discuss the details of the transit study in the coming months – will be at a community gathering scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m. on Feb. 27 at the Portland Community College Southeast Center's Community Hall.
The committee includes residents, transit riders, community organization leaders, business representatives, elected officials and agency directors. The gathering is an opportunity for the steering committee to get to know each other and meet interested members of the public.
The committee will meet every 2-3 months until mid-2015 to weigh public input and technical information and make decisions that shape a new transit project and development strategies for key places in Gresham, East Portland and Southeast Portland.
