Reports

 

Martin expressed concerns about I-205 tolling issues, especially diversion. ODOT has issued final plans for the tolling and input from organizations and individuals will be accepted until April 21st. Discussed major questions and concerns: Will diversion be properly mitigated to ODOT satisfaction per the Environmental Assessment? Are they going to do any local traffic studies before and after tolling begins?

 

New Business

 

Marie made a motion that the CPO share these concerns in a letter to both the County and to ODOT. Brainard seconded. Discussed what the letter should focus on (diversion, mitigation, funding) and specifically recommend (County consult its own experts to adequately address local commuter traffic). The CPO’s letter should focus in on our specific roads (Redland, Springwater, etc.). Martin will draft the response after attending the next C4 meeting, which will also discuss the tolling. Marie will assist. Motion passed 8-0-0.

 

 

With no further business to be presented at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 pm.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Marie Naughton
