4. Providence Hearing

21

Zach spoke of the hearing where Providence took their 10-year Master plan to the Hearings officer. The Hearings officer ex tended the time until May 30 for people to get additional letters in. Judy Kennedy said that Providence wanted this extension so they could take traffic counts. It appears that they took statistics at a somewhat quiet time instead of shift change or high-traffic times. It was noticed that right after the hearing there were a lot fewer cars parked out front of Glisan buildings.

Zach said that just this past week, Providence contacted him and wanted to get together with North Tabor and Laurelhurst Neighborhood representatives to talk about signing the Good Neighbor Agreement. If certain things are not addressed, we would like to use the GNA to help address those problems.
