Summary
The Portland City Council Transportation & Infrastructure Committee convened on January 12, 2026, to discuss several key issues. The committee addressed amendments to the city’s street renaming code, aiming to realign it with state law and delegate decision-making authority back to the City Council. This change was necessitated by discrepancies found between city code and state law. Additionally, a proposal from Portland State University to rename a portion of Southwest Jackson Street to Southwest Rosehill Street was discussed. This renaming aims to honor respected Indigenous elder Rose Hill and align the street’s name with community values. Both motions related to these issues were passed unanimously. The committee also reviewed the PBOT Transportation Funding Report, discussing potential funding mechanisms to address the city’s transportation needs. The meeting highlighted the city’s efforts to respect community values in street naming and the ongoing need to secure sustainable funding for transportation infrastructure.
