Multnomah Land Use Projects
4144 SW Canby St
After a period of no news, the developers held a Zoom project update for neighbors on Tuesday, May 17. Here are some highlights:
The project details are largely unchanged since the last update, since the city permits are for a specific design.
Speed bumps on Canby from 35th to 41st are outlined but not being built until neighbors can OK them and other preliminary approval steps are taken. The project is still covering their cost, however.
On July 1, 2021 we submitted our comments on the project in a formal neighborhood response to the project.
