FPC received notification this week of PGE’s intent to appeal the decision of the Portland City Council to deny their application to remove nearly 5 acres of Forest Park to upgrade transmission lines to the Land Use Board. We are disappointed that PGE did not choose to pursue alternative routes rather than fight the Council’s decision to deny the land-use application.
Our organization maintains that PGE’s proposal violates multiple criteria of the Forest Park Natural Resource Management Plan. We support City Council’s unanimous decision to deny the application on this basis.
We are currently considering our next steps and will update our community when we have more to share.
