Metro forming Portland - Milwaukie Light Rail Security Taskforce
Portland - Milwaukie Light Rail Security Taskforce Info
As part of the standardized SDEIS process of acquiring community input, Metro is forming a Safety and Security Taskforce for the Portland – Milwaukie LTR Phase II alignment. Operational traffic safety and security for riders, pedestrians, bikes and automobiles is a key aspect to the design of the light rail stations. Members of the communities where these stations are located often have keen insight into specific safety and security impacts and can provide valuable input for the project and design goals. This committee will run complimentary to the existing CAC committee, but be focused on operational safety and security.
Focus
Operational Safety and Security of SE Light Rail
When
Late September/ October 2007
Kickoff
Tour existing light rail systems with a focus on operational safety and security
Commitment
Meet 2 to 3 times as a committee to plan community meetings/ next steps.
Outcome
The committee will provide recommendations and synthesize a plan for each light rail station on the project route by the end of the SDEIS process in the June/ July 2008 timeframe.
At the close of SDEIS, the committee may chose to continue work throughout the construction/implementation phase of the project
Those interested in participating in the Portland – Milwaukie Light Rail Security Task Force should contact:
Phillip Kennedy-Wong
Sr. Public Affairs Coordinator - Metro
600 NE Grand Ave.
Portland, OR 97232

Citizen Advisory Committee July 24th Orientation, SMILE station, The Bee Article
The Citizen Advisory Committee met on July 24th for the initial orientation. Unfortunately, this was the only proposed date which I could not attend due to a previously scheduled business trip. Metro has sent orientation materials which I will be reviewing this week. The next proposed meeting is the August 15th tour of the proposed alignment options.
----
The SMILE station has been offered as a central venue for ongoing CAC meetings. As Metro works through the schedule, SMILE station may be selected as the regular meeting location.
----
To clarify information published in the The Bee this week, this blog is not an official Metro site. This blog is intended to provide updates and solicit input from the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood during the Citizen's Advisory Committee process. I will continue to post helpful links (to the right side of the blog) to provide resources for the project, which includes the official Metro links.

The following stations will be closed: Pioneer Square South, Pioneer Square North, Mall/SW 4th Ave, Mall/SW 5th Ave, Yamhill District.

Welcome to www.southeastmax.org !
Welcome!
Although the Citizen's Advisory Committee for South Corridor Phase II (Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project) is just starting to coordinate orientation and schedules, I thought it would be a good time to put together the online infrastructure to facilitate updates from the Advisory Committee, and public input from the neighborhood. I believe the preferred online platform of choice is a public blog where links can be shared and individuals can post public comments. I also believe that this is the best platform to host an open forum (and it's free!). There are also helpful resource links to the right side of this page.
I look forward to working with our neighborhood and larger community throughout this process!
