6. Issue a statement  

regarding the NTNA  

position on the CRS

7:05 pm

Our state rep Alissa Keny-Guyer voted for the CRS the first time if di version and toll wouldn’t happen. This is important because studies  show 50k vehicles would divert for the 8 year build in the NT. There is  concern Alissa will vote yes. Terry motioned the NTNA come out  against this unless 1.) there is a 205 toll as well and 2.) Oregon funding  won’t be stolen from other important areas to fund this. Beth seconded  this. The vote was unanimous as long as the second portion was taken off. The official statement will say:”The board of the North Tabor  Neighborhood Association unanimously opposes the current incarnation  of the Columbia River Crossing without the tolling of 205 because of the  projected impacts to our neighborhood.”
