Town Hall/Current Events AM 11-20-19

Mike Pullen and Cassie Davis will share information about the Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge project. The county is studying alternatives that would make sure the Burnside Bridge is still standing after a major earthquake. They will share the range of alternatives, cross sections, traffic options and evaluation criteria that will be used to analyze potential impacts. They are currently in the Environmental Review phase of the project and are studying the potential impacts - both positive and negative. 

Understanding that this is a regional project affecting people from east Multnomah County to Washington county, they asked to engage with the East Portland Chamber of Commerce.
