What do you want to see in your community in 50 years? What are your dreams for the future?

As part of the Future 50 project, Metro is holding conversations with communities to develop aspirations for 2077 that will guide the direction of our region. We want to hear from you!

Join a community visioning table this fall to share your hopes for the future.

• Connect with other community members to help create regional aspirations for the future.
• Learn about Metro’s Future 50 project and what other community members and regional leaders are saying.
• Learn about the shared regional values that will guide the development of the vision.

Registration is required. Bring your ideas, perspective and creativity. Refreshments are provided. These events are open to members of the public who live, work, go to school or spend time in the greater Portland region—including urban and rural Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties.

Councilmembers Lee Wells and Clyde Burkle host the final Council Chat of the fall, with complimentary pastries. The early-bird option for anyone who would rather talk local government before work than on a weekend.

The Portland 2045 Transportation System Plan (TSP) is entering an important phase. We're now looking at roughly 275 potential transportation projects and working to determine which investments should be prioritized over the next 20 years.

This fall, we're asking Portlanders to review the projects and share which ones they think are most important. Feedback will help shape which projects are included in the financially constrained list, as well as those identified as important needs beyond available funding.

Open Houses are drop-in events, so come anytime between 5 and 7 p.m. You do not need to stay for the full two hours.

• Multnomah Arts Center (Auditorium): 7688 SW Capitol Hwy

View all open house opportunities

An online open house and survey will be available October 19 to December 7. This survey gives you an opportunity to share your high-level priorities for Portland's transportation system and, if you'd like, provide more detailed feedback on which projects you think should be prioritized. Please note: If you plan to review the project lists and provide detailed feedback, we recommend using a computer or printing the project lists for the best user experience.

Participate in the online open house & survey
