The West Hayden Island Concept Plan Open House is online! You can view the staff presentation to City Council and the Port, see the Power Point, review the concept plan alternatives and give your feedback on the draft concept plan elements all from one page. Comments are due by Nov. 7, 2011.

On October 12, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability staff gave a briefing on the West Hayden Island draft concept plans to a joint meeting of the Portland City Council and the Port Commission. The purpose of the briefing was to share an overview and the status of the WHI project and listen to a presentation by the consultant, WorleyParsons, on the concept plan alternatives. The commissioners had an opportunity to ask questions and comment on the alternatives.

Later that same day, the first of two public open houses was held at the Expo Center to kick off a series of events to solicit public input on the concept plan alternatives. If you couldn't make it last night, there's another open house on Saturday, October 15 at the Oxford Suites. And the following week, staff will be holding office hours on the island to answer questions and take comments.

The virtual open house is just one more opportunity for you to provide input on the concept plan elements. Comments are due by Nov. 7, 2011.
