February 2018 The Southwest Portland Post • 3 NEWS CAPITOL HIGHWAY PROJECT BES director Michael Jordan meets with Basin 3 residents (Continued from Page 1) responsible for maintaining side- walks. The transportation bureau will be responsible for maintaining street, bicycle facilities, and multi- use paths. Environmental Services will be responsible for maintaining the stormwater facilities. Retaining walls will be built throughout the highway. The com- mittee wants to explore opportu- nities to incorporate artwork and other design features into these walls, transit stops, and other ele- ments of the project to enhance the livability of the neighborhood. The subcommittee wants the city to provide a construction timeline calendar and weekly email updates for residents to prepare accordingly. Construction is due to start later this year. Lyons reminded anyone who lives along Capitol Highway, be- tween Garden Home Road and Barbur Boulevard, that the city is conducting one-on-one site visits to discuss how the project may affect property frontages. Considerations include topography, trees, shrubs, driveways, parking, fences, and other features. “Be sure to contact David Backes,” Lyons said. “He can be reached at 503-823-5811 or david.backes@port- landoregon.gov as soon as possible to schedule your meeting.” For more details, visit www.port- landoregon.gov/transportation/ CapitolHwy. On Jan. 9, Bureau of Environmental Services Director Michael Jordan met with about 15 neighbors who live in the water drainage assessment area called Basin 3. The basin is located south of Spring Garden Street and north of Dolph Court. “This is a complementary but sepa- rate effort from the Southwest Capitol Highway project,” said Becky Tillson, project manager. “The assessment represents a change in the way we have traditionally dealt with stormwater challenges on private property in the separated sewer area.” After Jordan made introductory re- marks, he received an earful from sev- eral neighbors who have been living with water run-off issues for decades. In a letter from Jordan to the Basin 3 residents, Jordan said stormwater features will be located both along the corridor and in the surrounding basins. “As you and other residents know,” Jordan wrote, “this area is character- ized by steep slopes, poorly infiltrating soils, and an incomplete patchwork of public and private stormwater infrastructure [and] has drainage challenges.” Mike Roche, former Multnomah land use chair and a longtime commu- nity activist, said that former Portland Mayor Charlie Hales left a mess. “Hales preferred projects in the Pearl, South Waterfront, and outer southeast,” Roche said. “I’ve been pay- ing taxes for 25 years [in Southwest] and have seen nothing.” Jordan, who said he is new with the bureau, said he was willing to learn from the neigh- borhood. Jordan has been with the bureau since June 2015. “We haven’t always collabo- rated the best with the trans- portation bureau or neighbors,” Jordan said. “Environmental services is getting ready to launch a new stormwater system plan,” Till- son said. “We are committed to a more holistic approach to stormwater challenges. This may include cost-sharing opportuni- ties for property owners and the bureau.” Others raised questions and voiced their concerns about the impacts of more development, especially middle housing, waiv- ers of remonstrance, and the new Local Transportation Infrastruc- ture Charge program. Neighbors also brought up prop- erty tax rates and questions as to the rationale for cost-sharing solutions in the basin. In spring 2016, the city adopted the program, which charges a fee on new infill development occurring on streets in single-dwelling residential zones. According to the city’s fact sheet, the LTIC provides a more pre- dictable and simple option for devel- opers to meet their obligations. One of the main requests of this group was that water be diverted over to a regional facility on Multnomah Boulevard near the U.S. Post Office. “We recognize that this process will Call Now: 855-977-7853 Score BIG With DISH Deals!

Tillson said she would work with neighbors to sched- ule visits during the coming months.
