  • DRAFT: TSP 2035 Existing Conditions and Future Needs Report
    Washington County TSP 2035 • Existing Conditions and Future Needs Report **DRAFT 9/27/12** Chapter 4: Active Transportation and Transit 4.1 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION OVERVIEW This chapter describes existing conditions and future needs for three “active” modes of travel: walking, bicycling and taking transit. 4.1.1 What is Active Transportation? Active transportation refers to human-powered travel, including walking and bicycling. Public transit is also a component of active transportation because accessing transit stops usually involves walking or bicycling. Widespread use of the term began in the first decade of the 21st century as policymakers placed increased emphasis on non-automobile modes, and as the links between human health and transportation planning became more evident. Active transportation modes are essential components of the overall transportation system, meeting a variety of societal, environmental and economic goals. These include: • Environmental stewardship. In Oregon, approximately 34% of greenhouse gas emissions – the largest share – can be attributed to motor vehicles.1 Replacing automobile trips with active trips reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, air toxics and particulates, helping to improve regional air quality and address one of the leading causes of climate change. • Congestion alleviation. It is simple arithmetic that walk, bike and transit trips reduce the number of motor vehicles vying for space on roadways and in parking lots. The active mode share for commuting from Washington County is about 11%, representing roughly 27,000 people who do not drive to work.2 Reduced congestion improves air quality, quality of life, and economic productivity. • Health. America is facing a health epidemic related to obesity and inactivity.

    IN DEEP WATER: THE OCEANIC IN THE BRITISH IMAGINARY, 1666-1805 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Colin Dewey May 2011 © 2011 Colin Dewey IN DEEP WATER: THE OCEANIC IN THE BRITISH IMAGINARY, 1666-1805 Colin Dewey, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 This study argues that the ocean has determined the constitution of British identity – both the collective identity of an imperial nation and the private identity of individual imagination. Romantic-era literary works, maritime and seascape paintings, engravings and popular texts reveal a problematic national and individual engagement with the sea. Historians have long understood the importance of the sea to the development of the British empire, yet literary critics have been slow to take up the study of oceanic discourse, especially in relation to the Romantic period. Scholars have historicized “Nature” in literature and visual art as the product of an aesthetic ideology of landscape and terrestrial phenomena; my intervention is to consider ocean-space and the sea voyage as topoi that actively disrupt a corresponding aesthetic of the sea, rendering instead an ideologically unstable oceanic imaginary. More than the “other” or opposite of land, in this reading the sea becomes an antagonist of Nature. When Romantic poets looked to the ocean, the tracks of countless voyages had already inscribed an historic national space of commerce, power and violence. However necessary, the threat presented by a population of seafarers whose loyalty was historically ambiguous mapped onto both the material and moral landscape of Britain.

Through this letter, I hope to share a bit more background on Metro's Parks and Nature Program; provide general comments and concerns on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments; and propose plan language amendments for your consideration. Metro seeks edits that support Metro's role as a park service provider and to balance recreational needs and uses with natural resource protection and neighborhood concerns. I would also like to thank Planning Director Michael Cerbone and Multnomah County staff for their work on this complex project. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process: The County's Comprehensive Plan update process is largely a citizen-driven process, with the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) submitting its recommendations to the County Planning Commission for consideration and discussion. The Planning Commission was the first county government body to review the draft plan and thereafter provide policy guidance to the Board of County Commissioners. Before the Planning Commission, Metro presented comments and concerns, as well as proposed revisions to the County's draftcomprehensive plan language. The Planning Commission heard testimony that supported Metro's positions. The Planning Commission also heard testimony that sought to isolate the County's rural lands and residents.

Levy dollars restored budget cuts made in FY 2002-03 as well as major services and improvements outlined in the Parks 2020 Vision plan adopted by City Council in July 2001. In order to fulfill our obligation to the voters, we identified four key objectives. This report highlights what we have accomplished to date. Objective 1: Restore $2.2 million in cuts made in 2002/03 budget The 2003 Parks Levy restored cuts that were made to balance the FY 2002-03 General Fund budget. These cuts included the closure of some recreational facilities, the discontinuation and reduction of some community partnerships that provide recreational opportunities for youth, and reductions in maintenance of parks and facilities. Below is a detailed list of services restored through levy dollars. A. Restore programming at six community schools.
