Street Fee Proposed
P o rtlan d city le a d e rs a n ­
nounced plans Thursday for a new
fee to fund street maintenance and
traffic safety improvements. The
proposal is scheduled to come
before the full City Council for a
vote this week.
The so-called "transportation
user fee" would earmark about half
the generated revenue for safety
projects such as sidewalks and
crosswalks; the other batch of
funds would go to street mainte­
nance.
U nder the p ro p o sal, m ost
hom eow ners can expect to pay
$11.56 per m onth (about $140 an­
nually), while businesses will pay
more, officials said. The am ount
would be added to water and sewer
bills with higher costs for proper­
ties that generate more transpor­
tation trips, according to Portland
M ayor Charlie Hales. Churches,
schools, and non-profits would
also pay the fee.
Commissioner Steve Novick es­
timates the fee, which would go into
effect in July next year, will bring the
city up to $50 million annually.
