A Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) is being formed to advise project staff and make recommendations to the Portland City Council and the Director of the Oregon Department Transportation on policy and project proposals resulting from the N/NE Quadrant and I-5 Broadway/Weidler planning process. The committee will have approximately 30 members, with wide representation from area stakeholders and community interests, including: business and neighborhood associations, property owners, affordable housing, cultural heritage, the environment, economic equity, labor, urban design and transportation.
Subcommittees of the SAC will be formed to address specific issues, such as transportation, land use and urban design, and will include additional stakeholders with expertise and interest in the topic issues. Subcommittees will help frame the issues for the full SAC, especially on specific subject areas requiring more analysis and input. SAC and subcommittee meetings will be open to the public and have opportunities for public comment. Agenda, minutes and materials will be posted on this website as they are available.
A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), representing public agencies with specialized expertise related to the plan and implementation, will serve as a resource for the SAC throughout the planning process.
More information about the SAC process and procedures may be found in the Draft Stakeholder Advisory Committee Collaboration Principles.
