The City of Hood River will host a two-day open house later this month on potential concepts for 12^th and 13^th Streets on the Heights.  As part of a community outreach process, the City is also launching a community-wide survey from approximately April 15^th to May 13^th to gather community input on the potential street concepts.  The three-week online survey is part of the alternatives phase of an 18-to-24-month effort to formalize a detailed streetscape and urban design plan in coordination with the Hood River Urban Renewal Agency.  Emphasis has been on addressing traffic, transit, bicycle and pedestrian safety, walkability, and the area’s local businesses.  The goal is to establish a comprehensive plan for the major arterials as well as the side streets and intersections along the 5-6 block area that stretches along 12^th and 13th streets between May Street and Belmont and Union Streets.  The in-person open house hours are 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. on April 22^nd and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. April 23.
