NE 60th Ave and NE 82nd Avenue Station Communities: The City of Portland is seeking Transportation Growth Management (TGM) funds to study eastside station areas; for these two specific areas, the primary goal is the improvement the pedestrian environment for neighborhood access to the light rail stations. 2. Multnomah County Farm property at 242nd Avenue: this 46 acres site across from Edgefield development is currently zoned Light Industrial, but within Troutdale's town center boundary. Multnomah County is currently marketing the property, and the City expects it to change to a mixed use or commercial land use designation, consistent with the 2040 plan. lnterstate-205 Interchanges 1. Parkrose/Sumner Town Center: The City of Portland is seeking TGM funds to study this eastside station area located at the Sandy Boulevard interchange, and expects a change in land use designations. 2. Market/Main Street Station Community: this interchange area is within the Gateway Urban Renewal area and it has already been zoned for higher density development; however, additional changes to zoning may accompany the construction of the I-205 light rail line.
