Help design North Bethany!

Washington County’s Department of Land Use and Transportation invites interested parties to a Design Workshop at the PCC Rock Creek campus. It will be an opportunity to share ideas about the future of North Bethany. This 800-acre area north of NW Springville Road between NW 185th Avenue and the Washington County line is taking shape on the drawing boards as a distinctive new community with attractive homes of many types, shops, parks and schools.

The North Bethany Concept Plan, expected to be complete by this fall, will establish a vision and framework for this new community. The project team has laid the groundwork by agreeing on goals and objectives, listening to community input, studying the natural landscape and drawing up first round alternatives. Now the public is invited to weigh in on the initial alternatives. The sketches include potential locations for neighborhoods, local shopping, parks, open space, roads, trails and civic spaces.

The workshop will also feature a young person’s art contest with the theme “What is your favorite thing about your neighborhood?” Art supplies will be provided at the open house.
Materials for the workshop will be posted on the project web site www.bethanyplan.org, along with a feedback form to allow those who do not attend to also participate. For more information, please contact Angela Brown at 503-846-3968 or e-mail angela_brown@co.washington.or.us.
