Wednesday Events: Cell Towers and Gas Terminals

Cell Towers

Three people from RespectPDX get a chance to tell the Portland City Council how they really feel about a WiMax tower moving into their neighborhood. Colin O’Neill, Eric Winston, and Caitlin Johnson each get a few minutes to address the council during the public speaking time at the beginning of the Wednesday’s meeting. The group has been fighting Clearwire’s plans for a wireless internet antenna at NE 37th and Fremont.

• When: 9:30am
• Where: Portland City Council Chambers, 1221 SW Fourth Avenue, Portland

NW Portland Gas Terminals

Oregon DEQ holds a public meeting on renewing air quality permits for three gasoline terminals in Northwest Portland. They are the Chevron facility on NW Front St, and the Kinder Morgan Liquid and Shell Oil terminals on NW St. Helens Road. The terminals need air quality permits because they release air pollution, including benzene and ethyl benzene.

• When: 5:00pm
• Where: DEQ Northwest Region Office, 4th Floor, Room A/B, 2020 SW Fourth Avenue, Portland
