The maps below show two proposals for Metro reserve areas north of Highway 26 that were presented at the Metro Council meeting on 12/10/2009.
You may view a spreadsheet comparing the two proposals.
The first proposal, put forth by David Bragdon and Carl Hosticka, designates 28,610 acres of urban reserves,
10,169 of which are Foundation farm lands in Washington County.
This proposal was approved by the Council.
We were disappointed to see that Councilors Kathryn Harrington and
Carlotta Collette voted to accept this proposal,
which designates about 10,000 more acres of urban reserves across the Metro area.
The second proposal, put forth by Robert Liberty and Rod Park, designates 18,742 acres of urban reserves,
5,073 of which are Foundation farm lands in Washington County (less than half of the Bragdon/Hosticka proposal).
Note that this proposal designates all lands north of Highway 26 as Rural Reserves, as well as significant areas to the south of Highway 26!
This map shows the Metro reserve areas north of Highway 26 as of 11/13/2009.
