Hood River City Councilors approved an initial list of proposed projects for a Westside Urban Renewal District to present to the public in advance of a planned digital open house in May.  Councilors did make one change to the list…removing a sidewalk along the north side of Westcliff Drive from the west urban growth boundary to exit 62 that would have been for expansion of the Historic Columbia River Highway bicycle trail from Portland to the Gorge, electing instead to list various potential sidewalk projects with more value to neighborhoods.  City Manager Abigail Elder noted there will be flexibility in the future to make changes to project lists.  After the open house is held and public comment considered, a final plan will go to the Council in the summer.
