City Council, a helpful reminder for you

A reader sent this caution:  There is still a MMA designation on the Foothills district that includes the downtown urban renewal area.  This needs to be removed by the City Council by sending notice to ODOT.   Reminders to Council are OK.

There is still work to do on the MMA. The City Council will need to direct the City Manager to send a letter to ODOT rescinding the MMA or it's not going to go away. 

This brings up a question in my mind though.  I have heard that the Comp Plan contains maps that are not consistant with current zoninig.  The Council just approved the Comp Plan - did they approve bad maps?  Was there anything on the maps that allows for a MMA?  This should be checked out so no stone is left unturned.

Re:      Multimodal Mixed-Use Area

Dear ODOT,

We have a MMA that we no longer want.  Can you please take it back?  I just doesn't fit.  You'll find it around State St., or Hyw. 43 to you.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mayor and City Council

City of Lake Oswego
