P ublisher Michael Leighton C o r r E d it o r Joy Ramos C r e a t iv e D The City of Portland has re leased for public discussion a package of proposed voluntary actions and draft regulations to protect and restore city streams. The goal of the Healthy Portland Streams project is to improve wa ter quality, reduce erosion, help manage floods, and enhance fish and wildlife habitat. Over 75 percent of Portland’s streams have been buried or con tained in pipes. Neighborhood creeks and streams have been severely damaged, filled and pol luted, their trees have been re moved, and their banks eroded. Now growth and development threaten our remaining neighbor hood streams and the land around them. “Healthy rivers and streams are good for all o f us and they provide habitat for fish and wildlife, too,” says Planning DirectorGil Kelley. “1 encourage all Portlanders to take part in discussing these chai - lenges and crafting solutions to protect our natural environment.” As part of the C ity’s compre hensive River Renaissance, this proposal includes changes to the current environmental overlay boundaries, voluntary actions and incentives, fine-tuned regu lations, and expanded environ mental overlay zones. W orking more than two years with a citizen advisory committee, independent scientists, and with the public through several workshops, the Planning Bureau has developed a draft proposal for public discus sion. Citizens can participate in this discussion through a series of five community open houses de signed to give local residents the opportunity to meet directly with staff and leant more about how the proposal affects their prop erty and their neighborhood’s natural resources. Also available to the public is an Internet site featuring interactive maps, on-line comment forms, and all project documents.
