CAPTION:

I-205 project temporary impact to City parks and open space

QUESTION:

Shall City use a portion of parks and open space at 5350 River Street for I-205 widening and temporary construction? 

SUMMARY:

If approved, this measure would allow the northeastern portion of the 5350 River Street Park or open space known as the McLean House and Park to be used for construction access, construction staging and construction activities necessary for the Oregon Department of Transportation Department (ODOT) I-205 Widening and Seismic Improvements Project.

This regionally significant project will provide safer transportation facilities for all users, including West Linn residents. The City is putting this measure on the ballot because Section 46 of the City Charter requires West Linn voters to approve any use of City owned park or open space for a “nonauthorized use,” including construction of facilities that are not directly required for the use of the park or open space.  If this measure passes, the City can impact a portion of the park and open space at 5350 River Street to provide temporary construction activities.
