Villebois Bioswales

What’s Next?

The next steps are to begin the testing and monitoring program, and to start construction of the rainwater management techniques.  The mitigation ponds will be the first to be built, followed by porous pavers, bio-retention cells and, finally, green roofs.

Going Beyond Rainwater

In addition to rainwater, other sustainable endeavors have been incorporated to enhance Villebois’ environmental stewardship.  Some of these enhancements include:

Rehabilitating wetlands near Coffee and Arrowhead Creeks

Utilizing a herd of goats to clear blackberry bushes in a more sustainable, non-wasteful manner

Placing debris from tree pruning into the wetlands and parks

Providing pedestrian and bicycle friendly roads throughout Villebois to promote alternative forms of transportation

Using Smart growth design principles of alleys and street grids promoting connectivity

Preserving and enhancing over 155 acres of land dedicated to parks, trails, and natural areas

Providing access to a new mass transit system which travels to and from Beaverton linking Villebois with the regional light rail system (MAX)

Developing a comprehensive Recycling Program

Villebois Wetlands

Using Earth Advantage and Energy Star Programs in homes

Forming a partnership with Portland General Electric (PGE) to promote homes and business within Villebois to buy “green energy”

Building a LEED Building with an unprecedented Platinum certification

Working with the proposed elementary school and community housing to produce energy efficient green buildings

Establishing the Villebois Action Committee (VAC), comprised of members of the community, to continue building on the three guiding principles of Villebois: connectivity,    diversity, sustainability

Building of Community gardens to encourage small scale fruit and vegetable production that’s both sustainable and community enriching

Your input is important on how to make Villebois even more sustainable!

Wilsonville, Oregon's Only Farmers Market

Running May 23 through October 3, the Villebois Sunday Market offers a variety of local entertainment, seasonal produce, baked goods and other Oregon farm-fresh products.  Additionally, local artisans, florists and nursery vendors have booths at each event. The market is held in the Village Center in the heart of Wilsonville’s award-winning Villebois community.

Market Entertainment:

May 23rd AM: The Dixie Cups Coffee Appreciation Society Dixie Band are a motley collection of musicians who do not let their respectable lives get in the way of playing Dixie music. Their repertoire includes Dixie classics such as Rampart Street Blues and Just a Closer Walk with Thee, as well as Lynard Skynard’s They Call Me the Breeze and a Dixie version of Raffi’s Baby Beluga.

May 23rd PM: Michele van Kleef Michele has been singing for as long as she can remember. After piano and  voice lessons, theater and musicals through high school, she went to Oregon State University and minored in Vocal Performance.  *Michele has been one of my favorite vocalists since the mid 90′s.  You don’t want to miss her!!

Soon after graduating, she joined the very successful, NW-based Indie band Calobo. They started out playing the NW Colleges, house parties and local bars. After everyone was done with school they decided to go full time in 1994 and toured the country for the next 6 years. They played the Wetlands in NYC, House of Blues in Chicago, The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, and the epic music festival, Bumbershoot, on the Stadium Stage in Seattle. When all was said and done, Calobo released 5 full length records, the final being recorded Live at the Crystal Ballroom in our hometown of Portland, Oregon.

After Calobo, Michele joined up with LazyBones Recordings as Mackabella in Seattle. They released the self-titled album Mackabella in 2001. Many of these songs have been placed in the TV/Film Industry. Willing has had the most placements:   a  movie trailer for the Johnny Cash story Walk the Line, and spoof of the same film, Walk Hard, among many others.  Additional recent song placements includes VH1, Fox, NBC, T-Mobile, 90210, Lifetime, MTV, South of Nowhere, and Roswell.

Michele took some time off to start a family, but is thrilled to be playing music again. She’s been focusing on her own songs that are true from her heart, sometimes funny, and she is more than ready to share them.

Dubbed “WES”, the new commuter rail connects residents living in Wilsonville to suburbs like Tigard, Tualatin and Beaverton. Once in Beaverton, commuters are just a hop, skip and a latté from downtown Portland, Beaverton and all other corners of the metropolitan area. The Wilsonville WES Station is minutes from Villebois and includes 400 Park & Ride spaces and 48 bike locker spaces, helping foster a pedestrian- and bike-friendly atmosphere within the community. Villebois residents not only can avoid rush-hour traffic but they can also feel good knowing they’re reducing their carbon footprint by spending less time on the road.

“One of the reasons we chose Villebois is because of its lovely parks and common areas. It also has a slightly urban feel, compared to other developments we looked at, with the potential for so much more. The very nature of its design facilitates easy communication between neighbors…parks and green spaces nearby, courtyards in the front of some of the homes, shared common areas, and the (eventual) village center. Villebois promotes ‘getting out there and meeting your neighbors.’ We also like the economic, social, and ethnic diversity compared with other areas in the suburbs.  There are apartments, condos, assisted living homes, and single family homes all in one neighborhood. Living together and understanding different points of view and lifestyles are all great experiences we can give our children. That’s why we love it here, that’s why we love where we live.”
