Milwaukie City Council Will Hold a Pair of
Light Rail Hearings
On July 14th and July 15th Milwaukie City Council will hold public hearings to
gather input before passing along its recommended light rail alignment to the
rest of the region.
The hearings will be held in City Hall’s Council Chambers and will begin at 7
p.m.
City Council will base its recommendation on the Locally Preferred Alternative
(LPA) forwarded by the project’s steering committee, which is comprised of
elected officials from Portland City Council, Milwaukie City Council, Oregon
City Commission, Multnomah County Commission, Clackamas County Commission,
Citizen Advisory Committee chair, executives from TriMet and the Oregon
Department of Transportation.
The LPA enters Milwaukie’s North Industrial Area next to the Tillamook Branch
railroad, continues next to those tracks through Downtown near the Portland
Waldorf School and behind Milwaukie Lumber, crosses Lake Road and Kellogg Lake
and then extends south to Park Avenue along McLoughlin Boulevard into Oak Grove.
The LPA features the single station at Lake Road, which was recommended by City
Council on June 3rd.
