City Council Work Session 06/17/2025

The City Council Work Session for the City of Milwaukie, Oregon, held on June 17, 2025, focused primarily on reviewing and discussing transportation projects related to pedestrians, bicycles, roadways, freight, and transit. The council reviewed maps and project lists that are not yet prioritized, aiming to confirm project accuracy and completeness before moving to cost estimation and prioritization. Discussions included potential jurisdictional transfers of certain road sections from ODOT to the city, funding opportunities such as a $250 million Great Streets program, and the need for improved pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, including lighting and safety enhancements. The council also considered creating a capital improvement project (CIP) line item for greenway placemaking and improvements, separate from existing spot funding programs. Public outreach efforts and next steps for project prioritization were outlined, with a final project list expected in August. The meeting concluded with a move to executive session to review the performance of the city's chief executive officer.
