From the Portland Tribune today and affirmation on the show tonight from Sam himself: ‘I will not put this to the voters. I will not bring this up in any form before the council.’
(Paraphrasing from what Commissioner Sam told me tonight. )
Here’s the Trib today (story here):

Commissioner Sam Adams may not ask Portland voters to approve a street improvement fee this November after all.
After a protracted fight with fee opponents earlier this year, Adams said in February that he intended to ask the Portland City Council to place his “Safe, Sound and Green Streets” measure on the general election ballot.
