PUBLIC INPUT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
AsNHX project development continues, the City, BCTID, and ODOT will work closely with stakeholders and local communities to explore and develop the alternatives advanced for further study in much greater detail.
Our goal is to identify a preferred alternative that meets the needs of the project while taking into account the needs and concerns of affected communities.
Public engagement activities will likely include:
​
-
Meetings with the Stakeholder Committee, which represents local communities, organizations, residents, and businesses
-
Meetings/workshops with local neighborhoods
-
Public surveys
-
Progress updates sent via email
-
Virtual and in-person public meetings once a preferred alternative has been identified
How does public involvement make a difference?
Community members have deep insight and knowledge of their neighborhoods. Partnerships between the community and project team can help fine-tune project alternatives and perhaps even uncover opportunities that haven’t been considered yet. By working through the process together, projects like NHX are made stronger and better.
How can you make a difference?
Participate in the process. Be informed. Attend a neighborhood meeting. Complete a survey. Your thoughts are welcome any time.
