Project Sponsors Council co-chairs invite public testimony on Hayden Island access options June 14

PORTLAND – The co-chairs of the Columbia River Crossing Project Sponsors Council invite public testimony on Hayden Island access options on Monday, June 14.

Oregon co-chair Henry Hewitt and Washington co-chair Steve Horenstein will hear public testimony on alternatives for access to Hayden Island. The PSC asked a group of Hayden Island stakeholders, the City of Portland, Metro and CRC staff to evaluate additional access concepts for Hayden Island along with the current design for a rebuilt Hayden Island interchange. The stakeholder group has forwarded options for on-island and off-island access to Interstate 5.

Comments received at the meeting will help inform PSC members as they consider proposals for the Hayden Island interchange at their June 25 meeting.
