BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This report describes the proposed coceptual desig for the portio of Halsey Street that goes through the couities of Fairview, Troutdale ad Wood Village betwee 223rd Aveue ad the Historic Colubia River Highway (HCRH). The pla has bee prepared for Multoah Couty, with assistace fro the cosultig tea of Coga Owes Coga, Falcoi Cosultig ad SERA Architects, ad a techical advisory coittee (TAC) that icludes represetatives of the couty, the three cities, TriMet, Metro ad the Orego Departet of Trasportatio (ODOT). Residets ad property owers participated i the plaig process ad provided guidace durig two public workshops coducted i Jauary ad March, 2005. The plaig process grew out of earlier plaig efforts associated with the Fairview Village project. Prior to plaig for that project, this sectio of Halsey Street had bee classified as a ajor arterial street, desiged for five laes of traffic. Durig that project, the City of Fairview ad other jurisdictios requested reclassificatio of the street to a three-lae ior arterial street. The cities ad Couty also recoeded a desig that would eable icreased use by pedestrias, bicycles ad trasit users, while preservig adequate traffic capacity alog the street. Traffic odelig udertake at that tie idicated that Halsey Street would operate at acceptable level of service as a ior arterial, presuig that capacity would ot be coproised o parallel facilities. No additioal odelig was coducted for this project. I additio to the overall goal of developig a ulti-odal pla for Halsey Street, other objectives of the plaig process icluded the followig: Ivolve the public i desigig the streetscape for Halsey Street i Troutdale, Fairview ad Wood Village. Create a corridor that liks the older portios of Wood Village, Fairview ad Troutdale with ewer portios, while visually supportig the character of each. Create sese of idetity ad etryway to each couity. Explore the potetial to icorporate gree-street desigs i the streetscape. Miiize the eed for acquisitio of additioal eeded public right-of-way. This Coceptual Desig described i this report is expected to be ipleeted over tie as developet occurs, lad uses chage ad/or fudig becoes available. Overall, the pla ay take a uber of years to coplete. Soe sectios ay be ipleeted ore quickly tha others, depedig o how quickly specific areas develop or chage i use. Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report 1
STUDY AREA OVERVIEW Physical Features ad Coditios As oted previously, the project area icludes portios of the cities of Fairview, Wood Village ad Troutdale. Most of the lad directly adjacet to Halsey Street is relatively flat. I the easter half of the study area, lad slopes uphill to the south ad dowhill to the orth to soe degree, particularly just east of 244 th Aveue. Farther fro the street, the lad slopes ore sigificatly uphill to the south. Large trees are scattered alog the corridor, with cocetratios/groves east of the apartet coplex orth of Halsey Street, east of 238 th Aveue, ad east ad west of 244 th Aveue. Three streas cross Halsey Street -- oe just east of 244 th Aveue, oe ear 223 rd Aveue, ad oe just east of 227 th Aveue. All three streas flow through culverts where they cross roadways. Data fro Metro ad Natioal Wetlads Ivetory (NWI) aps idicate several relatively large wetlads withi the study area; each is withi approxiately 400 feet of Halsey Street. Additioal iforatio provided by the Couty ad Cities of Fairview, Troutdale ad Wood Village idicate the presece of other wetlads, soe of which are withi 100 200 feet of the roadway. The City of Wood Village Coprehesive Pla idicates that areas i the easter part of the city ear Halsey Street (betwee 238 th ad 244 th Aveues) have poor draiage ad a history of floodig. There are soe historic resources i the study area, ost otably the Edgefield Property ad the Couty Far. They are icluded i the Natioal Register of Historic Places. There is also a historic tree o the east side of 238 th Aveue i frot of a care facility. The origial or old Wood Village also is of historical sigificace as it was a copay tow for Reyolds Aluiu. This icludes City Hall ad the coercial coplex at the southeast quadrat of the itersectio of 238 th Aveue ad Halsey Street. Public couity facilities located alog Halsey Street withi or just outside the study area iclude the followig: Marily s Park (ortheast of 223 rd Aveue /Halsey Street) Doald L. Robertso City Park (southwest of 244 th Aveue/Halsey Street) Wood Village City Hall (orthwest of 238 th Aveue/Halsey Street) Couty Far property, orth of Halsey Street, east of 244 th Aveue Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report 2
Property surroudig Edgefield Maor south of Halsey Street that also icludes a couty jail (vacat) Arata School (ear Doald L. Robertso Park ad just south of the study area), which icludes the Edgefield Childre s Ceter Existig ad Future Lad Uses There is a ix of residetial, coercial, idustrial, couity, ad resource lad uses withi the study area. The wester portio of the study area (223 rd to 244 th Aveues) is ore itesely developed with a approxiately eve ix of residetial ad oresidetial uses. These uses iclude coercial ad idustrial uses just east of 223 rd ad priarily residetial uses south of Halsey betwee approxiately 229 th ad 244 th Aveues. North of Halsey betwee 229 th ad 244 th Aveues, there is a ix of residetial, coercial, ad couity uses that iclude the Mt. Hood Couity College/Head Start (apartet coplex) facility, Wood Village City Hall, ad several large coercial ad idustrial busiesses. The easter portio of the study area is less developed, particularly orth of Halsey Street ad withi ½ ile east of 244 th Aveue. The Edgefield Maor restaurat/brewpub/bed-ad-breakfast coplex is south of Halsey Street about 700 feet east of the 244 th Aveue. The area at the easter ed of the corridor is coprised of resideces, ope space, ad coercial ad idustrial use (at the far easter ed). The desity of residetial uses varies sigificatly fro relatively dese ulti-faily uits to sigle houses o large lots. Policies ad plas for future developet cotiue to evisio a ix of lad uses alog Halsey Street that is fairly siilar to the existig ix of uses, with the followig exceptios: Fairview s Couity Visio pla aticipates developet/extesio of a ixed-use tow ceter area betwee 223 rd Aveue ad approxiately 229 th Aveue. Much of this area orth of Halsey Street is curretly udeveloped. The area east of 244 th Aveue ad orth of Halsey (curretly udeveloped) is zoed ad expected to be used for light idustrial or coercial developet. The area both east ad west of Edgefield Maor is zoed for future coercial developet. Additioal, deser residetial ad ixed-use developet is aticipated at the easter ed of the corridor.

Trasportatio Facilities ad Coditios Halsey Street is classified as a ior arterial by the Couty ad Cities of Fairview ad Wood Village. The City of Troutdale defers to couty stadards for the road. Mior arterials are defied i the Couty s Fuctioal Classificatio Syste as streets that typically carry less traffic volue tha pricipal ad ajor arterial streets, but have a high degree of coectivity betwee couities. Mior arterial streets provide ajor liks i the regioal road ad bikeway etworks; provide for freight obility ad trasit corridors; ad ay serve as sigificat liks i the local pedestria syste, especially where they are desiged as couity boulevards. For ior arterials, couty stadards call for two to four travel laes (two preferred), bicycle laes, sidewalks, platig strips (optioal but preferred) ad a edia/ceter tur lae. The couty stadards provide for a rage of diesios for the width of each eleet of the street ad are illustrated i Figure 3. Halsey Street is classified as a bicycle, pedestria ad trasit route throughout the study area. Street classificatio stadards call for bicycle laes ad sidewalks alog the roadway throughout the study area. Withi the study area, bicycle laes curretly exist alog virtually the etire legth of Halsey Street o both sides of the road. Betwee 223 rd ad 238 th Aveues, there are sidewalks o both sides of the street. East of 238 th Aveue, there are several short, discotiuous sectios of sidewalk. The TSPs ad other plas of the couty ad cities withi the study area call for a variety of iproveets related to Halsey Street, icludig the followig: Wide Halsey Street to a ior arterial street i all three jurisdictios Coplete a cotiuous syste of bicycle laes ad sidewalks o both sides of the street Ipleet traffic calig, iproved crossigs, sigage ad other pedestria iproveets withi the city of Fairview (Fairview Couity Visio), icludig ehaced itersectio/crossig iproveet at the itersectio of 223 rd Aveue/Halsey Street Create directioal sigage for busiesses i Fairview Redesig the itersectio of Halsey Street/HCRH I additio, the City of Wood Village has recoeded cosideratio of additioal pedestria crosswalks, speed display sigs ad traffic-calig facilities to reduce traffic speeds ad iprove pedestria displays. TriMet also has discussed ehacig or icreasig the visibility of trasit stops i the area. Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report 6

PLANNING PROCESS I developig a coceptual desig for Halsey Street, the cosultig tea worked with couty staff ad ebers of the TAC to coduct the followig activities: Obtaied, apped ad suarized data o existig coditios i the project area, icludig: Parcel boudaries ad owership Coprehesive pla, zoig ad desig overlay desigatios Existig lad use Topography Eviroetal features, icludig existig apped wetlads or riparia areas Historic features, icludig historic districts, structures or trees idetified i couty or city ivetories Existig right-of-way Travel lae width Itersectio cofiguratios icludig crosswalks Locatio ad width of bike lae ad sidewalks Existig trasit facilities Driveways ad other property Described trasportatio ad lad use plaig issues associated with differet potetial desig eleets of the street, icludig use ad desig of sidewalks, bicycle laes, edias, ceter tur-laes, trasit facilities, ladscapig, gateway features ad other eleets. Idetified exaples of street desigs used i siilar areas elsewhere i the Portlad etropolita regio ad other couities i Orego. Prepared graphics illustratig desig eleets, typical desig exaples ad related issues. Coducted a public workshop o Jauary 12, 2005 i Fairview to discuss possible plas for the future desig of Halsey Street. Idetified prefereces ad priorities for specific desig eleets i the corridor overall ad i each idividual couity. Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report 9
Prepared a draft Cocept Pla based o the results of the public workshop ad guidace fro the TAC. Preseted the draft Cocept Pla at a secod public workshop o March 10, 2005 i Fairview. Participats provided coets ad suggested revisios to the Pla. Reviewed results of the workshop ad proposed chages to the draft Cocept Pla with ebers of the TAC; revised the Cocept Pla accordigly. Prepared this Fial Report. PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN ELEMENTS Developet of the Cocept Pla was drive priarily by the overall project objectives ad results of public workshops. I reviewig ad recoedig possible desig eleets, public workshop participats recoeded the followig: Cosistecy throughout the corridor is iportat for the look ad feel of the street desig, but preservig the uique qualities of each couity eeds to be a cosideratio. Chages i desig aog couities ca be subtle, rather tha proouced. For exaple, differet lightig stadards ay be used to differetiate aog the couities. O-street parkig should be provided where beeficial, such as i coercial areas, but is ot ecessarily desirable or eeded i other areas because of perceived ipacts to pedestria safety, eighborhoods ad driver visibility. I geeral, a ope ceter tur-lae is preferred to allow for traffic access ad akig turs oto both sides of the street, particularly for eergecy vehicles. Pedestria islads are recoeded i specific locatios such as id-block crossigs ear locatios with sigificat pedestria oveet. Ladscapig is desired but i a aer that will ot icrease aiteace work or costs. Tree wells ad platers are preferred. Most participats did ot favor cotiuous platig strips. However, ebers of the cosultig tea ad TAC ote the followig drawbacks with wide sidewalks that do ot iclude platig strips: Higher costructio costs More ipervious surface Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report 10
A ore urba look ad feel that would be icosistet with the existig ad proposed character of the study area i predoiatly residetial sectios. For these reasos, a ladscapig buffer strip i areas plaed for future residetial ad idustrial use is recoeded to accoplish other goals of the project such as iproved aesthetics, ore effective storwater aageet, lower costructio costs, ad cosistecy with eighborhood character. A pedestria-friedly eviroet is desired, ad ca be addressed with aeities such as lightig, ladscapig ad sidewalks that are at least six feet wide. Wider sidewalks are recoeded i coercial areas ad/or to accoodate street trees i tree wells. Workshop participats would like ore roo for buses (both school ad public) to pull out of traffic to ake stops. However, TriMet akes liited use of bus pullouts. Their geeral practice is to use iflow loadig where the bus picks up passegers while stopped i the right-of-way. This iproves trasit speed ad reduces coflicts betwee cars ad buses as buses pull ito the travel lae. I respose to these recoedatios, the Cocept Pla icludes the followig eleets (see Figures 10, 13 ad 16): Bicycle laes are provided throughout the legth of the corridor, cosistet with City ad couty stadards ad public coets. Sidewalks are located alog the full legth of the corridor. Sidewalks will be ie feet wide, icludig a ladscapig/furishig zoe i areas zoed for coercial use ad a ladscapig strip i areas zoed for residetial or idustrial use (see Figures 5 ad 6). O-street parkig will be provided i areas zoed for coercial use. Ostreet parkig will be provided oly o the side of the street adjacet to lad zoed for such use. Two travel laes (oe i each directio) will be provided, with a width of 10 12 feet (per couty stadards). Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report 11

A cotiuous ceter tur-lae will be provided alog ost of the corridor. The ceter lae will iclude raised pedestria islads located at strategic poits i the corridor ear sigificat pedestria geerators. Three locatios are idetified: Just west of the etrace to the Fairview Oaks developet Adjacet to Doald L. Robertso City Park Adjacet to Edgefield Maor Two future possible locatios also have bee idetified, assuig a icrease i developet desity ad pedestria traffic. These locatios could vary, depedig o future coditios ad idetified couity eeds. They iclude: Betwee the Fairview/Wood Village city liits ad 238 th Aveue Approxiately halfway betwee Edgefield Maor ad the Historic Colubia River Highway Oraetal street lights will be added per city ad couty stadards. Lightig stadards for Multoah Couty will be used i Fairview ad Troutdale. City of Wood Village lightig stadards will be used i that couity (see Figure 7). Trasit stops will cotiue to be located throughout the corridor. Additioal bus shelters will be costructed based o couity eeds, ridership ad passeger pickup levels. Existig bus pullouts will be retaied ad a additioal pullout ay be located ear 244 th Aveue. Couty Stadard Wood Village Stadard Figure 7.

Couity-Specific Stadards ad Facilities As oted above, desig stadards for Halsey Street are expected to vary, depedig o the type of plaed lad use adjacet to each side of the road. Because lad uses vary throughout the corridor, the desig varies withi each city. Cross-sectios have bee prepared for specific locatios withi the project area to illustrate typical desig crosssectios. The desig is described for each jurisdictio below ad o the accopayig figures.

Ipleetatio ad Cost The iproveets described i this report ad accopayig Cocept Pla will be ipleeted over tie as fudig becoes available. Fudig ay coe fro a variety of sources, icludig Regioal Trasportatio Pla project fuds, state or federal grats, cotributios fro developers or property owers ade as properties are redeveloped, ad city ad couty trasportatio budgets. Iproveets are likely to be ade as chages i lad use occur, as properties redevelop ad as sufficiet fuds are available to costruct iproveets i eaigful-sized areas of the corridor. A uber of factors will eed to be cosidered as iproveets are ade, icludig: Cosistecy with existig lad use. Desigs i this pla are orieted to plaed future lad uses, which i soe areas differ fro existig use. Durig public workshops, a uber of participats coeted that soe features proposed for coercial areas (e.g., o-street parkig) are ot appropriate for existig residetial areas. It is expected that o-street parkig would ot be added util areas are coverted to coercial use. Maiteace issues. Participats i public eetigs voiced cocers about the cost ad ability to aitai ladscapig ad other aeities idetified i the street desig. I preparig detailed desigs for the street, low-aiteace ladscapig techiques should be cosidered ad adjacet property owers should be cosulted or have the ability to odify ladscapig if they desire. Trasit facilities. The Cocept Pla idetifies existig bus stops ad shelters. Additioal shelters are expected to be costructed over tie, with locatios based o ridership ad passeger pickup data. The proposed street desig icludes adequate space for bus shelters. Plaig level cost estiates have bee prepared for the proposed iproveets to Halsey Street.

APPENDIX A. PUBLIC WORKSHOP SUMMARIES The Halsey Street Cocept Pla was iflueced sigificatly by the results of two public workshops held with property owers ad citizes i the study area. Results of those workshops are briefly suarized o pages 10 ad 11 of this report ad described i detail i the followig pages. Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report Appedix A A1
PUBLIC WORKSHOP #1 JANUARY 12, 2005 6 8:30 PM FAIRVIEW COMMUNITY CENTER 300 HARRISON STREET SUMMARY Multoah Couty, with the cosultig tea of Coga Owes Coga, Falcoi Cosultig ad SERA Architects, coducted a public workshop o Jauary 12 i Fairview to discuss possible plas for the future desig of the portio of Halsey Street that goes through the couities of Fairview, Troutdale ad Wood Village betwee 223rd Aveue ad the Historic Colubia River Highway. Nearly 25 residets atteded ad the three couities were fairly evely represeted. Couty ad cosultat tea represetatives provided a overview of the project, icludig its history, goals ad expected outcoes. They the worked with participats i sall groups to idetify desired street desig eleets ad priorities for the etire study area, as well as for specific couities. Groups were orgaized by couity for Fairview, Troutdale or Wood Village. The suggestios that participats ost agreed upo are listed below. Etire Corridor Participats geerally agreed o the followig: Cosistecy throughout the corridor is iportat for the look ad feel of the street desig, but preservig the uique qualities of each couity eeds to be a cosideratio. Chages i desig aog couities ca be subtle, rather tha proouced. O-street parkig is fie where beeficial, such as i coercial areas, but is ot ecessarily desirable or eeded i other areas because of perceived ipacts to pedestria safety, eighborhoods ad driver visibility. Slightly ore participats favored a ope iddle tur lae to allow for traffic access to both sides of the street, particularly eergecy vehicles, to ake turs. Those that prefer a edia do so for safety reasos ad recoed pedestria islads i specific locatios such as id-block crossigs ear locatios with sigificat pedestria oveet. Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report Appedix A A2
Ladscapig is desired but i a aer that will ot icrease aiteace work or costs. Tree wells ad platers were suggested. Most participats did ot favor cotiuous platig strips. A pedestria-friedly eviroet is desired, ad ca be addressed with aeities such as lightig, ladscapig ad sidewalks that are at least six feet wide. Wider sidewalks are recoeded i coercial areas ad/or to accoodate street trees i tree wells. Participats would like ore roo for buses (both school ad public) to pull out of traffic to ake stops. Resposes to recoedatios: While soe participats expressed cocers about safety associated with o-street parkig pedestria, o-street parkig ca iprove safety for people walkig by bufferig the fro traffic. Sidewalks ay eed to be wider throughout the corridor to accoodate tree wells if o cotiuous platig strips are desired. Typically, the Couty eters ito a agreeet with the appropriate city for aitaiig a give sectio of a street like Halsey. The city the has the resposibility for aitaiig it or copesatig the couty for doig so. Requireets for property ower aiteace will be clarified with idividual cities. While participats oted cocers about the cost of aitaiig ladscapig strips, alog Halsey ad recoeded a wide sidewalk that icorporates trees i tree wells, there are several drawbacks to this approach, icludig: Higher costructio costs More ipervious surface A ore urba look ad feel that would be icosistet with the existig ad possibly proposed character of the study area i predoiatly residetial sectios. For these reasos, we propose a ladscapig buffer strip i residetial areas to accoplish other goals of the project such as iproved aesthetics, ore effective storwater aageet, lower costructio costs, ad cosistecy with eighborhood character. We ca work with the couty ad city to idetify platigs that would have lower aiteace costs. Fairview For the itersectio of Halsey ad 223 rd, participats recoed the followig: Wider sidewalks Reduce ladscapig ear itersectio (about 100 ) Tur laes to aitai capacity, with a right-had tur fro 223 rd, south to Halsey, west A safer bus stop Ladscapig features -- plater boxes ad seasoal decoratios. Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report Appedix A A3
Pedestria crosswalks are eeded. If pedestria islads are used, icorporate soe ladscapig for safety, but high visibility reflectors, cotrastig paveets. Maitai the optio to add additioal laes without ovig sidewalks. Resposes to recoedatios: Maitaiig the optio to add ore laes is ot ecessarily cosistet with the overall objective of creatig a three-lae road. A separate traffic aalysis at the itersectio of 223 rd is recoeded to deterie the eed for tur laes recoeded above. Troutdale Build ore sidewalks ow i aticipatio of future growth. Create arked crosswalks or lighted itersectios to accoodate areas that are already pedestria ad bicycle-friedly, such as Edgefield. Tree wells are the preferred ethod of ladscapig. Use atural ladscapig to reflect the atural eviroet. Make sure the desig icorporates the ew sceic byway desigatio of Halsey betwee Troutdale ad 238 th. Cosider o-street parkig oly if the beefits will outweigh the costs. For exaple, it ay be beeficial i coercial areas but ot i other areas, particularly where topography is a challege. More participats i this group favored a tur lae over a edia i the iddle lae of Halsey to provide access, especially i aticipatio of ore developet. Resposes to recoedatios: Pedestria islads also are recoeded at selected locatios. This would iprove pedestria safety ad copleet the City s Mai Street desig. Wood Village Reduce cogestio at the itersectio of Halsey ad 223 rd. Iclude bicycle laes. Beautificatio ad cotiuity are iportat. Exercise coo sese i desigig iproveets. Cosider o-street parkig where ecessary for retail but ot i areas with oly residetial. Most favor a turig lae for the followig reasos: To provide access to trucks at 244 th To provide a breakdow lae for trucks Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report Appedix A A4
Soe other participats favor a edia or pedestria islads for the followig reasos: To address access aageet coflicts To possibly icrease property value To iprove pedestria safety ad obility Cosider roudabouts, particularly at 244 th ad the extesio of Wood Village Boulevard. (recoeded by oe group eber) Resposes to recoedatios: Istallatio of a roudabout at 244 th is ot recoeded by the cosultig tea due to cocers about potetial ipacts o traffic capacity, right-of-way ad truck oveet. However, a roudabout or soe other gateway feature at oe or ore other key itersectios i Wood Village could help establish a couity idetity for Wood Village. More traffic aalysis (through a separate project) would be eeded to deterie the feasibility of this. May participats coets seeed to be orieted ore towards existig coditios, rather tha future plas, icludig deser ad ore coercial developet i certai portios of Wood Village.

PUBLIC WORKSHOP #2 MARCH 10, 2005 6 8:30 PM FAIRVIEW COMMUNITY CENTER 300 HARRISON STREET SUMMARY Multoah Couty, with the cosultig tea of Coga Owes Coga, Falcoi Cosultig ad SERA Architects, coducted the secod of two public workshops o March 10 i Fairview to discuss the future desig of the portio of Halsey Street that goes through the couities of Fairview, Troutdale ad Wood Village betwee 223rd Aveue ad the Historic Colubia River Highway. This purpose of this workshop was to preset a possible desig that icorporated public coets received at the first workshop o Jauary 12. Sixtee residets atteded ad all three couities were represeted. Couty ad cosultat tea represetatives provided a overview of the project, icludig its history, goals ad expected outcoes. They the preseted a possible desig for Halsey Street ad explaied how public coets were icorporated ito that desig. The followig desig aspects were icluded based o the public coets fro the first workshop: No edia, but a cotiuous ad ope left tur lae. Cotiuity i desig throughout the corridor. O street parkig i coercial areas. Pedestria islads i specific locatios, such as id-block crossigs ear locatios with sigificat pedestria oveet. Street trees. Wide sidewalks, lightig ad ladscapig. Tie for questios ad further coets was provided followig the presetatio. Participat coets are listed below. Soe participats were cocered that allowig o street parkig o Halsey Street i the residetial area betwee 222 d ad 224 th would attract crie. The couty ad cosultat tea explaied that the area, which is curretly residetial, is zoed for future coercial use ad that it is ulikely that parkig would be allowed util coercial uses were i place. Participats restated soe cocers about the cost ad aiteace of ladscapig strips. These setiets were cosistet with coets provided at the first public Halsey Street Coceptual Desig Project Fial Report Appedix A A6
workshop. However, the cosultig tea recoeded the platig strip i residetial areas to give the a ore residetial feel, iprove appearaces, reduce costructio costs ad assist with filterig ad aagig storwater. Platig strips would ot be used i coercial areas. There was agreeet that if property owers have to aitai vegetatio i the platig strip, the they should be able to choose ad/or chage what type of vegetatio is plated. Ideas for platigs icluded shrubs istead of trees to iprove visibility ad plats that do t eed uch water to save aiteace costs for property owers. Most participats who coeted were supported the idea of icorporatig a slightly eaderig sidewalk. This idea received the strogest support i the portio of Halsey frotig Edgefield. Two features o the Draft Cocept Pla ap eed to be relocated, icludig oe bus stop ad the Acadey of the Alteratives, which recetly oved. Resposes to coets: Cocers about locatig o-street parkig i residetial areas where residets have cocers ca be addressed i ipleetig laguage for the Pla. Resposes to cocers about aiteace of ladscapig areas are described above. After coets fro this workshop are icorporated, a fial desig will be preseted to the Fairview, Troutdale ad Wood Village City Coucils, as well as to the Multoah Board of Couty Coissioers for approval ad adoptio.
