The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) invites the community to participate in virtual discussions about the upcoming changes to N Willamette Boulevard. These info sessions aim to clue residents in on what to expect from the corridor improvements stretching from N Rosa Parks Way to N Richmond Avenue. Those interested can expect a guided virtual tour of the plans, followed by a Q&A segment where you can fire off your burning questions, according to a notice on Portland’s official site.

Register for one of the two scheduled webinars – January 22 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. or January 23 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. For those grappling with concerns like the project's history, parking removal, or broader transport policy, you can connect with the project manager, David Backes, for a more intimate conversation. But act fast, as these meetings won't get into the weeds on those topics.

PBOT recommends checking the project website and neighborhood association calendars for updates on in-person presentations and any schedule changes. With construction on the horizon, there's no better time to get all the info straight from the source.
