Help decision-makers understand what you experience as you drive, bike, walk or take transit in the East Metro area. Next spring, the cities of Gresham, Fairview, Wood Village and Troutdale will prioritize near- and long-term transportation investments. Participate in a short survey to let them know what works for you and what you think should be improved.
In your neighborhood, these future improvements should help you and your neighbors meet daily needs. For example, you may see new or safer crosswalks and better traffic flow at intersections. For employers and community developers, this agreement provides certainty and incentive for long-term investments. Agreement on near- and long-term investments increases local government's ability to leverage regional, state and federal funds for communities.
The East Metro Connections Plan brings governments together to develop a community investment strategy that supports the prosperity and livability of the East Metro area. Born out of a transportation focus, it breaks new ground by linking previously separate efforts on jobs, parks, housing, equity and transportation. In this way, different investments reinforce each other and add up to more than the sum of their parts.
