– We will review this land use notice for 2401 SE 76th Ave. (LU 22-204387 RP).

– Powell-Division Safety Improvements Project – As requested at our July board meeting, TriMet has been updating us on the milestones for the crossings project. I haven’t yet received an update for February, but will revise this when I do:

• Environmental Site Assessments for two sites completed [Oct. 2022]
• Developing revised drawing set [underway]

• Review of revised plan set [Fall 2022] (1/17/23 update: This is ongoing. Submitted to the Bureau of Development Service the first week of October. They will be reviewed by PBOT next week. Should receive all city initial comments as a package soon. ODOT provided first comments before Thanksgiving. Consultants are wrapping up answering questions and modifying plan sheets. Round 2 will be scheduled soon. TriMet procurement is advancing contracting possibilities and consulting with the FTA and should have an update about that next time.)
• Final plans review [January 2023]
• Construction contract out for bids [February 2023]
• Notice to Proceed (NTP) for construction contract [late March 2023]
• Potential start date and construction duration at SE 79th. Contractor will determine schedule, TriMet will ask to prioritize. [Summer 2023]

– Mt. Tabor Maintenance Yard project updates. The webpage was last updated December 2022.
