SW Corridor inter-activity

When a government agency puts together a survey and wants public comments, the way the survey questions are constructed determines the outcome.  

Since a number of project options are presented, will people comment on what they do or do not like about the options (as usually happens), or will they have the idea to look beyond the shiny objects and tell the master, what they really think?  Some will, but people rarely stray outside the perimeter of what is put in front of them.  Take the road less traveled - think for yourself and create a comment you want the elites to hear.

Take a look at the map- you will get a preview of what Metro wants.   

But don't worry about what things cost - Metro doesn't, so you can be a magical thinker too!









Discover the interactive map at www.oregonmetro.gov/swcorridormap or link to it from the project website www.swcorridorplan.org . The online comment period runs from May 8-22. If you prefer to fill out a traditional survey rather than answer questions in the map tool, you can go directly to the online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/SWCPMay2015.

Welcome to the Southwest Corridor Plan public comment map

Explore this interactive project map and share your views about potential surface and tunnel alignment options in South Portland, Hillsdale and Portland Community College Sylvania Campus. Blue map objects ask you survey questions that will help shape decisions in July, such as whether to continue including tunnel options as part of the project. Gold and black map objects are for presenting information only. Fill out a closing survey with overview questions and opportunity for final comment as you leave the map.

More input and decisions on the Tigard, Tualatin and central Barbur Boulevard areas will continue through the summer and fall.

For links to all Southwest Corridor Plan materials, visit the project library at www.swcorridorplan.org.

The online comment period ends Friday, May 22.
