Over the next two years, PBOT will conduct broad and inclusive community engagement and work directly with community-based organizations and agency partners to determine what the bureau should focus on for improving 82nd Avenue long-term.

Throughout the planning process, PBOT will be working closely with the 82nd Avenue Coalition. Convened by Oregon Walks, Verde, Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO), and Unite, this coalition is made up of people and organizations that live, work, and play along 82nd Avenue.
