Just a quick reminder that the brown bag presentation on the recent
Willamette River Ferry Feasibility study will be held next Tuesday.

River in Focus Brown Bag Lunch at City Hall 

Grab your sack lunch and head to City Hall for lunch with the River
Renaissance team.  We are hosting a presentation about the Willamette
Ferry Feasibility Study that was published in June at the request of the
River Renaissance Initiative.  The study was conducted by Nelson/Nygaard
Consulting Associates, and will be presented by Thomas Brennan.  Here is
a PDF link to the study: HYPERLINK

As the feasibility study determined, creating a seasonal central city
circulator ferry may be possible through a private/public partnership.
Developing a local ferry system along the Willamette River could be an
excellent way to connect Portlanders and visitors with the river, and
foster river-oriented business and neighborhood development.  Come learn
about and discuss this exciting opportunity for creating a recreational
water-based transit alternative in the heart of Portland.

Who:            Free and open to the public 
What:           Lunchtime presentation, please bring your own lunch 
When:           Tuesday, August 15, 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. 
Where:  Portland City Hall, 1221 SW 4th Avenue, Lovejoy Room 

"River in Focus Brown Bags" are held as a public education forum to
inform citizens about important current River Renaissance issues, and
how the City of Portland is working to revitalize the Willamette River.
