On Saturday, November 21^st NECN will be hosting a Columbia River Crossing Impact Forum. Students of the Sustainability Clinic at Willamette University College of Law will present their research into the impacts the Columbia River Crossing project will have on the east side of Portland and the region as a whole.  They will share research on health and environmental impacts as well as the laws that govern the project and how the process for the project moves forward.

During the forum Jeri Williams from the Office of Neighborhood Involvement (and former Executive Director of the Environmental Justice Action Group), will talk about her involvement and advocacy on the various stages of this bridge expansion project.  She can provide personal insights into how to get involved and what has worked and what has not.

Finally, there will be a short, small group discussions to gain feedback from all of you on your concerns and suggestions for how we can all work to make sure that east side residents are best served by this project.

Here are the specifics:
