Clackamas County Coordinating Committee (C4) - August 2026

The Clackamas County Coordinating Committee (C4) meeting held on August 10, 2026, focused primarily on regional transportation infrastructure projects and local policy responses to electric bike (ebike) safety concerns. Representatives from ODOT provided updates on major construction projects including the I-5 Rose Quarter closure, Abernathy Bridge improvements, and the I-5 Boone Bridge joint replacement, noting some delays due to contractor availability and material fabrication. The committee discussed the impact of these projects on traffic and community concerns such as nighttime construction noise and property damage. Additionally, presentations from Happy Valley and Westland officials detailed their respective city ordinances and educational campaigns addressing unsafe ebike operation, enforcement challenges, and the need for clearer state regulations. The committee also conducted a poll prioritizing transportation, economic development, and land use, with transportation ranked highest. Other agenda items included updates on regional transportation planning bodies (R1 ACT, JPAC, IMPACT) and discussions on staffing challenges and traffic diversion issues related to tolling. A motion was passed to adopt the prioritized focus areas for C4's work plan moving forward.
