Help Metro and cities across the Portland metropolitan area select proposed bike, pedestrian and freight projects as part of the Regional Flexible Funds program. These proposed projects are located in all three area counties – some provide local improvements and some provide benefit to the whole metropolitan region. Public comments on which bike, pedestrian, transit, road and freight projects to fund are being taken through 5 p.m. on June 7. Project descriptions are available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Russian.
Comments can be provided online, via mail or email, or at a public hearing:
5 p.m. Thursday, May 30
Metro Council Chamber
600 NE Grand Ave, Portland
Comments made during the public comment period will be presented to decision makers for consideration before taking action in October.
The Regional Flexible Funds program includes funds from three federal programs and is allocated every two to three years. During the current three-year cycle, the flexible funds program has approximately $94.58 million available for area projects ranging from regional trails to major road improvements.
