passenger and track improvements.
The Landmarks Commission voted
in A ugust 1990 to amend the bounda
ries o f the Union Station historic desig
nation to include the tw o passenger
shelters thus making any changes to the
structures subject to their approval.
Representatives from PDC and the
Portland O ffice o f Transportation pre
sented the Landmarks Commission with
a request-to-modify the passenger shed
by trimming its western side 28 inches.
This will: a) provide the necessary safety
clearances for joint A m trak/freight
railroad operation on the track im m edi
ately west of the shelter; b) reduce
Amtrak’s travel time and operation costs;
and c) provide a track configuration
consistent with long-term transporta
tion needs o f the City.
PDC, the Portland Office o f T rans
portation, Amtrak, the three freight
railroads and the Oregon A ssociation
of Railway Passengers (Ore ARP) worked
closely to develop an agreem ent that
would retain Amtrak at Union Station.
Further improvements to the shel
ter are also planned and include replac
ing the roof and stabilizing the colum ns
which arc decayed with age and weather.
These changes will significantly im
prove and upgrade ther structural in
tegrity of the shelter, as well as its
appearance.

Have you ever wanted to have a
say in how United W ay o f the Colum
bia-Willamette distributes money? John
Collins of Vancouver did.
Collins, a member of the African-
American community, has been involved
with United W ay’s fund distribution
process since 1984. H ecurrently serves
as volunteer chairman of the Com m u
nity Organization and Fund Distribu
tion Division. “ The efforts o f these
(fund distribution) volunteers make it
possible for United W2y to take a pro
active stance in preventing problems
and to find long-term solutions to criti
cal human needs,” says Collins.
United Way currently is seeking
other African-American volunteers to
help make funding decisions for nearly
200 vital human-service programs of
fered throughout the Portland/Vancou-
ver area. These programs address such
needs as positive development for young
people, health education and emergency
services for the homeless.
Training and orientation will be
provided for new volunteers beginning
in December, the funding-review m eet
ings start in mid-March and last through
May. For more information on volun
teering for United W ay’s fund distribu
tion process, please contact S usan Gast

The City o f Portland Historical
Landmarks Commission approved today
a plan to trim the west side o f the
second passenger shelter at Union Sta
tion in order to increase cost effciency,
im prove safety clearances and reduce
travel limes. The decision should en
sure A m trak’s continued operations at
the station.
Last July, amtrak notified the Port
land Development Commission (PDC)
o f its intention to terminate its lease at
Union Station because of lack of prog
ress in track, platform and passenger
shelter modifications. PDC, the C ity’s
urban renewal, housing and economic
developm ent agency, ow ns the station.
Addressing the Landmarks Com
mission, James Larson, A ssistant Vice
President for Operations and Planing
for Amtrak in W ashington, D.C. stated,
“ A m trak’s preference is to remain at
Union Station provided potential costs
can be reduced; however, we have
repeatedly stated that the status quo is
n o ta n acceptable alternative.”
PDC Director of Development Larry
Dully com m ended the Landmarks
Commission saying, “ A cloud of un
certainty about Union Station’s Future
has been effectively removed. W ith
this decision by the Landmarks Com
mission we are in a position to carefully
modify the shelter and make long planned
