The Hood River Urban Renewal Agency is about to enter phase two of the Heights Urban Renewal process, developing a preferred streetscape plan to guide infrastructure investments. The URA board went over goals for phase two during a Monday evening meeting. The first phase of public engagement showed most respondents prioritized slowing traffic, creating safe streets and intersections, and street improvements that support access to local businesses. Nathan Polanski of consulting firm MIG says it also made clear parking will be a significant point of contention between various stakeholder groups. Plans are being made to do a parking study during phase two. The URA board will be receiving project goal revisions to consider next month.
