Last night I attended the community meeting on the expansion of Kane Road between Division and Powell. This remaining portion is the only part of Kane that has not been widened to reflect the fact that it is a major north-south arterial through the city.

Since I live at the corner of Kane and 23rd, and the project lies immediately to the south of our neighborhood's border, I felt it was important that I attend this meeting and learn as much as I can about the city's plans.

As part of the process of filling a vacancy on the council, we were given seven questions the day prior to the meeting. These questions were the ones that would be asked of us during the council meeting. We were given a minute and a half to answer each question, and as such, responses had to be short.

Below are the seven questions and my answers.

I think some of the best ideas for helping out a city,county, etc. come from listening to the people who live there. As such, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Gresham. What's good about it? What's bad? What needs improvement? What has worked and should be expanded upon?
