Clackamas County Coordinating Committee (C4) - October 2026

The Clackamas County Coordinating Committee (C4) meeting on October 8, 2026, approved the September 3 minutes and advanced a letter of support for two local projects seeking Federal Highway Administration PROTECT Program funding. The Rock Creek Junction reconfiguration project at OR 212 and OR 224 is seeking $30 million; the other project was described as a City of Milwaukee project, but its name and requested amount were unclear in the transcript. The motion to advance the letter was made and seconded, and no opposition was voiced. County staff also reported that the scope for a land suitability assessment is finalized and moving through procurement; no contract amount or vendor was identified. Staff presented employment-land analyses, including an estimate of about 1,719 acres of buildable employment land across the county, while noting that much of it consists of small parcels. Separately, Greater Portland Inc. has contracted with Civic Soul for regional economic-development strategy work.

The committee discussed draft transportation and legislative priorities, including whether to name specific projects such as the Sunrise Corridor and how to address transit funding distribution and service costs. A transit provider cited contractor service costs rising from $60 to $99.78 per hour, and participants discussed seeking a more equitable allocation of funding for smaller providers. Members were asked to review two draft documents and submit feedback by October 23. No contract award or bid approval was identified.
