West Portland Town Center Questionnaire |
Community goals in action
Thank you for your interest in the West Portland Town Center Plan! We’d like to hear your thoughts about some of the ideas in it that respond to community needs and desires.
This questionnaire should take about 10 minutes to fill out.
Vision statements
Working with the community over the past year, we developed two vison statements for the WPTC:
1. Great Places with Equitable Access: A natural and built environment that enhances environmental and community health through public amenities, new commercial services, and a supply and variety of housing options for an increasingly diverse population.
2. Strong Communities and People: A thriving and interconnected community that includes diverse households that are resilient in the face of displacement pressures and supported by strong social and cultural institutions, as well as human services that benefit all residents.
Goals
The vision statements helped identify more issue-specific "community goals" for infrastructure improvements, community growth strategies, and development regulations that improve the health of the community. The community goals also address which community assets need to be preserved or strengthened.
Big ideas
The vision statements also guided the creation of several “big ideas” to realize these visions. Below are a few of the big ideas in the draft plan to support or meet community goals, as well as approaches to meet them.
We’d like to hear what you think about them. Did we get it right or did we miss the mark? Do you like it or think it's just OK?
Your input will help us refine these proposals before we head to the Planning and Sustainability Commission (and, ultimately, City Council) for public hearings and adoption.
