The project consultant prepared a Needs and Opportunities Memo as a baseline document that outlines the existing conditions on Monroe Street, with suggestions for making the street a functioning neighborhood greenway. The memo was reviewed and discussed at the Oct 29 PAC meeting, and revisions were made to incorporate PAC members' input. The final version of the memo can be viewed here. For reference, the earlier draft of the memo that was discussed at the Oct 29 PAC meeting can be viewed here. A summary of public comments on the earlier draft of the memo can be viewed here.

City Council Charge to the PAC

The Project Advisory Committee (PAC) is charged with providing guidance for the Consultant’s efforts to determine what improvements will make Monroe Street an effective Neighborhood Greenway—a safer route for bicycles, pedestrians, and motor vehicles, with “green street” stormwater treatments. The PAC will ensure that the Concept Plan is consistent with the Neighborhood Greenway principles established in the Milwaukie Transportation System Plan (TSP) and that it reflects the community’s values while addressing all relevant requirements and standards.

The PAC will review draft materials prior to public presentation, to ensure consistency with applicable policies and standards and to provide suggestions and recommendations that enhance the Consultant’s work.

The role of each PAC member is to represent the perspectives and interests of their particular group or agency, reporting back to their constituencies and bringing forward any ideas or concerns those groups may have. In addition, PAC members will work in good faith as a team to advance the project and achieve agreement around it. Members will reach out to the larger community, including consideration of the needs and concerns of property owners and residents along Monroe Street.

The Council expects the PAC to recommend a draft of the Concept Plan for Council consideration and adoption by May 31, 2015, or to otherwise allow time for final revisions before the end of the grant period on June 30, 2015.
