The Portland City Council Transportation & Infrastructure Committee met on March 10, 2025, discussing several key issues. The meeting began with presentations from members of PBOT’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees, who emphasized the need for improved safety and infrastructure to support biking and walking in Portland. This was followed by an in-depth overview of the city’s solid waste and recycling program, highlighting the roles of various agencies in waste management and future plans to enhance recycling services and address waste reduction in apartments and multifamily properties. The committee also deliberated on a resolution concerning the Zenith Energy Terminal, which calls for an investigation into the company’s compliance with city agreements and the transparency of related city actions. The resolution was passed unanimously by the present councilors and is set to move to the full council for further consideration.
