Barbur Concept Plan Community Working Group
The role of the Community Working Group (CWG) is to help guide the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (PBPS) and Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) for the Barbur Concept Plan by providing feedback on project materials, proposals and processes.
About CWG Members
The CWG is representative of area stakeholders, including broad representation of the southwest residents, institutions, neighborhoods, and businesses. The CWG will review and inform project information, products, and public involvement processes throughout the project. CWG members will serve as liaisons between their respective communities/agencies and the City. PBPS and PBOT will maintain communication with CWG members and integrate feedback from the CWG into project materials and development of proposals and products.
CWG members will be expected to:
-
Attend approximately 15 CWG meetings over the course of 18 months,
-
Review project materials in advance of meetings,
-
Consult with members of their individual organizations on how to best represent their views, concerns and recommendations at the CWG,
-
Provide regular updates to their individual organizations on the project, project events, and the results of CWG meetings, and
-
Help to distribute invitations to open houses and other broader public events.
The CWG will be invited to, and hopefully assist with, hosting the neighborhood walks and three public open houses.
At each meeting working group members will have the opportunity to comment and provide feedback on a group of draft project documents, and the City will record participant comments so that the City and Consultant are able to revise the respective project documents in response to comments. The first meeting was held on September 15, 2011. The City will endeavor to schedule CWG meetings at times and in locations that are convenient for members, and in a timely manner for review of project materials. Refreshments will be provided.
