For tonight’s meeting, I guess Bayside is looking at a new traffic pattern vis-à-vis the various new developments that are planned.

I'm guessing this proposal by Port Property is the basis of what is being discussed, PDF attached. It's for 800+ new units of rental housing (201 'affordable'), a relatively small amount of retail space, other details on attachment.

I am not completely sure, but I believe that the 'woonerf' on Lancaster St, between Preble and Elm streets isn't seen as sufficient green and/or open space to be contributed to the neighborhood. Personally, I am a bit leery of the woonerf, as a to-be-built plan isn't provided; also, I can see how people would park their vehicles all over it, and the only enforcement would be by Portland's Parking Enforcement.

As well, there are long-standing issues with circulation in the neighborhood, which could connect or be solved by this development.

But I'll be at the meeting, and look forward to the discussion.

Alex

VHB did a study that i browsed through. It seemed of negligible value as it basically describes existing conditions
