Streimer Sheet Metal – Steven Streimer

Since the 1950s, Streimer Sheet Metal (SSM) has operated off Knott in lower Albina. The company has run out of space, will be relocating in the near future. SSM is exploring redevelopment options for the site through new zoning. 

Issues with the site are soil contamination, and that some lots are IG1 with no-housing overlay. 

The lots on Russell have already been rezoned to EX, consistent with their indication in the Comprehensive Plan boundary. 

SSM hopes to rezone the no-housing lots to EX and sell the site to a developer, potentially as a single project, and/or with Albina Vision Trust (AVT).

Broadway/Weidler – Mike Serritella

Discussed PBOT proposal for federal Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods Grant (RCNG) Program. Project goal is bridging active transportation gaps on Broadway, Weidler, and Larrabee and a Main Street redesign from the Willamette to NE 7th.

The application is in partnership with AVT and Historic Albina Advisory Board. Signal and stormware upgrades are planned, as well as new protected bike lanes, shorter pedestrian crossings, movement separations, and increased green space, as well as signal and stormwater upgrades.

Current state is a “2%” design, both independent and aware of  I5 RQ project. 1 year of public comment follows any grant.

LUTC agreed to write a letter of support for PBOT’s grant proposal.
