City adopts long-term
plan for Wilsonville
Town Center
At the Wilsonville City Council
meeting on April 15, on first reading,
the Council adopted the Wilsonville
Town Center Plan. The Town Center
Plan outlines long-term strategies for
development of a vibrant mixed-use
gathering place to live, shop, gather,
eat, work and play in the heart of
Wilsonville.
Nearly two years in the making,
the Town Center Plan has been
guided by extensive community
outreach with residents, business
owners and other stakeholders.
Pillars of the plan include
environmental stewardship,
economic vitality, community
gathering places, harmonious
design and safe access and
connectivity.

Center Plan, visit www.ci.wilsonville.

plan.
Prior to the meeting in a work
session, City staff provided an
update on the postponement of a
project to make seismic upgrades to
the Police/Public Works building.
Staff also provided a summary of a
recent project to complete an
emergency outfall repair in
Charbonneau.
French Prairie Task
Force to recommend
bridge type
The French Prairie Bridge Task
Force is meeting 6-8 p.m. Tuesday,
June 4, from at Wilsonville City Hall,
29799 S.W. Town Center Loop E.
The task force will consider public
testimony, impact studies, cost
estimates and other criteria in order
to determine which bridge type to
recommend to the Wilsonville City
Council and the Clackamas County
Board of Commissioners for
consideration this spring.
Two bridge types are under
consideration: a suspension bridge
and a cable-stayed bridge. Both
signature bridge types were
previously identified by the task force
for their aesthetic qualities and lower
environmental impacts.
The proposed French Prairie
Bridge over the Willamette River
would serve pedestrians, cyclists and
emergency responders when I-5 is
congested.
For more information, contact Zach
Weigel, Capital Projects Engineering
Manager, at 503-570-1565 or weigel@

How close is
SpringRidge?
You can almost reach it in two.
Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. But SpringRidge
Senior Living Community is still tantalizingly close to
the Charbonneau Golf Club. It’s just 704 yards away—
a dogleg left, if you will.
It truly is a great location to live for golfers and non-golfers
alike. In fact, most folks can’t help but feel a bit inspired when
surrounded by the tree-lined beauty of the Charbonneau
District.
And SpringRidge itself? With its spectacular views and
amenities straight out of a resort, you can bet your 5-iron
it’ll feel like home. And assisted living services are always
available if needed.
We invite you to see for yourself at a complimentary lunch
and tour (It’ll be a great walk unspoiled).
Join us for a complimentary lunch & tour.
Please call 503.925.4968 to schedule.
It’s a great way to get to know us.
