The Hood River Urban Renewal Agency board voted to move forward with a proposed scope of work for Phase 3 of the Heights Streetscape project.  There were some changes from what was originally envisioned for this part of the planning process, including traffic calming on 13th Street, work to design  key intersections originally planned for the second phase, east-west street and parking design, a bicycle connection to Pacific Avenue, and a decision not to conduct a demonstration project because it is not feasible.  And more Urban Renewal board and advisory meetings were added to this phase.  Board member Mark Zanmiller did say there is still the issue of needing the Oregon Department of Transportation to give its approval to any plan before spending a large amount of money on design work.  12th and 13th through the Heights are both state highways.
