THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 11 June 2019 News Briefs 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. For more information on the Town Center Plan, visit www.ci.wilsonville. or.us/planning/page/town-center- 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.

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. I n de p e n de n t & A s s i s t e d L i v i ng • M e mor y C a r e 32200 SW French Prairie Road • Wilsonville, OR SpringRidgeatCharbonneau.com • 503.925.4968
