Neither does the need for jobs, a thriving economy, and sustainable transportation and living choices for people and businesses in the region. Voters have asked Metro to help with the challenges and opportunities that affect the 25 cities and three counties in the Portland metropolitan area. A regional approach simply makes sense when it comes to providing services, operating venues and making decisions about how the region grows. Metro works with communities to support a resilient economy, keep nature close by and respond to a changing climate. Together, we’re making a great place, now and for generations to come.

  • APPENDIX B: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT SUMMARY Public Involvement Plan
    APPENDIX B: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT SUMMARY Public Involvement Plan DRAFT Public Involvement Plan Hillsboro Transportation System Plan (TSP) Update (REVISED DRAFT 4-29-16) 1. Introduction and Project Background Proactive and effective citizen involvement is a cornerstone of planning practice, and focused public engagement is crucial to achieve success in land use and transportation planning initiatives that often impact the entire community. Hillsboro residents have consistently expressed an expectation that the City prioritize public engagement to maintain transparency and encourage participation through feedback in the Hillsboro 2020 and 2035 visioning projects, including providing avenues for meaningful citizen involvement, access to information, and opportunities for collaboration, with transparent and inclusive public engagement practices. The Hillsboro Transportation System Plan (TSP) is the community’s adopted guide for building and maintaining Hillsboro’s transportation network. To update the TSP, we will study the existing network and envision what Hillsboro needs for the next 20 years. This plan will balance the needs of those using cars, transit, trucks, bikes and walking paths, and we will seek input from residents, businesses, and all transportation system users. The TSP will consider growth plans and trends in the region, while meeting the transportation needs of Hillsboro. The Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), OAR 660 Division 12 requires jurisdictions throughout Oregon to prepare and adopt regional or local transportation plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (660.012.0015 (2) (4)). Hillsboro’s last TSP update was completed in January 2004, and an update is required to respond to transportation, land use, environmental, population growth, economic and social changes in the community.

Mayor Callaway received 58 percent of the more than 33,000 votes cast in the November 2016 General Election to succeed former Mayor Jerry Willey, who was limited by City Charter to two terms in office. “It’s an honor to have been elected,” Mayor Callaway said. “I’m very humbled and I look forward to honoring the legacies of our previous Mayors in building on our City’s successes while addressing our challenges.” While staying on the City Council, Mayor Callaway’s election creates a vacancy to represent Ward 3, Position A. The Council currently is accepting applications to fill that vacancy.(Read how to apply on page 4.) Voters re-elected Councilor Fred Nachtigal to a second term representing Ward 3, Position B. Nachtigal received 67 percent of the votes cast to continue on the Council for another four years. “I take the citizens’ confidence very seriously and try to think about what is best for the entire City,” Councilor Nachtigal said. “I will continue to work to increase the vitality of Downtown. It should be the City's Front Room and display all of our multicultural assets.” continued on page 2 COUNCIL CONVERSATION Diversity is One of Hillsboro's Greatest Strengths During this past summer and fall, I met many remarkable people who have overcome tough odds; people of amazing resilience; families and individuals with remarkable stories; senior citizens with amazing accomplishments; and, young adults with great dreams.
