PUBLIC MEETINGS
WEDNESDAY, DEC 1
- A virtual Town Hall for Clackamas County Commissioners and
residents to learn about two transportation projects proposed by the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT): I-205 Tolling and the Regional Mobility
Pricing Project. The event will be held on from 5:30-7pm. More information
about these projects can be found on ODOT’s website at https://bit.ly/3odNDlb
and https://bit.ly/3D80ATC. An ODOT representative will join commissioners to provide
a brief presentation at the beginning of the event. The majority of the event
will be dedicated to members of the public providing their opinions to
commissioners. Clackamas County Commissioners are not proposing tolls – tolls
on interstate highways can only be enacted by the state of Oregon. This event
is meant to educate residents about what these projects are, the status of
them, and for commissioners to hear feedback. Residents and interested parties
are encouraged to register early for this webinar, as participation is limited
to 500 attendees (per the county’s Zoom license). Clackamas County
Commissioners may hold other webinars on transportation and similar topics
early next year. The event will be recorded and archived to the county’s YouTube
channel the following day. Zoom link:
