Working closely with the community, a management plan for the site was developed in March 2004.In 2016, Commissioner Amanda Fritz designated more than $1.1 million towards improvements at Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R)’s Columbia Children’s Arboretum. The funding comes not from tax dollars, but from construction development funds called “SDCs” or System Development Charges. The investment allowed PP&R to increase circulation and access at the Arboretum—including the development of a paved multi-use trail, vital for more people to be able to get around the unique northeast Portland destination.The project started up in Fall of 20171 followed by site assessments and listening sessions led by a Project and Technical Advisory Committee.Much of the construction happened throughout 2022 with the park fully opening to the public this past winter.

Información general

Celebración de Reapertura del Arboreto Infantil de Columbia En 1999, Parques y Recreación de Portland adquirió el terreno del Arboreto Infantil de Columbia de las Escuelas Públicas de Portland para su uso como parque. En estrecha colaboración con la comunidad, en marzo de 2004 se elaboró un plan de gestión para el sitio.En 2016, la comisionada Amanda Fritz designó más de $1.1 millones para mejoras en Parques y Recreación de Portland (PP&R) Arboreto Infantil de Columbia. El financiamiento no proviene de dólares de impuestos, sino de fondos de desarrollo de construcción llamados “SDC” o cargos de desarrollo del sistema. La inversión permitió al PP&R aumentar la circulación y el acceso en el Arboreto, incluido el desarrollo de un sendero pavimentado de usos múltiples, vital para que más personas puedan moverse por el destino único del noreste de Portland. El proyecto comenzó en otoño de 2017, seguido de evaluaciones del sitio y sesiones de escucha dirigidas por un Comité Asesor Técnico y del Proyecto.Gran parte de la construcción se realizó a lo largo de 2022 y el parque se abrió por completo al público el invierno pasado.

Thông tin Nền

Buổi lễ Mở cửa Trở lại Chính thức Vườn Thực vật Trẻ em ColumbiaNăm 1999, Portland Parks & Recreation mua lại khu đất Vườn Thực vật Trẻ em Columbia (Columbia Children’s Arboretum) từ Các Trường Công lập Portland để sử dụng làm công viên. Hợp tác chặt chẽ với cộng đồng, một kế hoạch quản lý cho địa điểm này đã được phát triển vào tháng 3 năm 2004.Vào năm 2016, Ủy viên Amanda Fritz đã phân bổ hơn 1.1 triệu đô la cho các cải tiến tại Vườn Thực vật Trẻ em Columbia của Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R). Số tiền tài trợ này không lấy từ tiền thuế mà lấy từ quỹ phát triển xây dựng được gọi là “SDC” hoặc Phí Phát triển Hệ thống (System Development Charges). Khoản đầu tư này cho phép PP&R tăng cường hoạt động lưu thông và khả năng tiếp cận tại Vườn Thực vật—bao gồm việc phát triển một đường mòn đa dụng có mặt đường được lát, điều này vô cùng quan trọng để nhiều người hơn có thể đi vòng quanh điểm đến độc đáo ở vùng đông bắc Portland này. Dự án này bắt đầu vào mùa thu năm 2017, sau đó là các buổi đánh giá địa điểm và các buổi lắng nghe ý kiến do Ủy ban Cố vấn Kỹ thuật và Dự án (Project and Technical Advisory Committee) dẫn dắt.Phần lớn công việc xây dựng đã diễn ra trong suốt năm 2022 với việc toàn bộ công viên được mở cửa cho công chúng vào mùa đông vừa qua.

Environmental Services Rate Study On Wednesday, June 14th, the City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) will hold an informational discussion about rate updates, focused on customers located in the Drainage Districts. A staff representative from the Drainage Districts will be there to speak to the complementary, but separate, services we provide to keep people and property safe from flooding.

Please see below for more information about the discussion on Wednesday, June 14th.
Join us for a community conversation about Environmental Services and how we charge sewer and stormwater rates to deliver essential services

Environmental Services sets sewer and stormwater rates based on the cost of providing sewer and stormwater services, which are essential for protecting public health and the environment. Environmental Services staff are recommending an update to the way we charge rates. City and bureau equity and affordability goals have informed development of the recommended approach. 
   
Portland Bureau of Environmental Services is holding a discussion with residents and property owners in the Drainage Districts about the BES rate study and its impacts on ratepayers.
 
Who:     Residents and property owners in the Drainage Districts
  
What:   A presentation and conversation about updating the way Environmental Services charges rates. 
 
When:  Wednesday, June 14:  6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
 
Where: These discussions will take place online via Zoom.  Please click here to register if you would like to attend.
 
Why:    Engagement with community members and ratepayers will help inform how BES implements the updated rate structure. Our hope is to share our proposed recommendations with drainage district residents and property owners, and to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how to improve the recommendations.  
 
If you need language assistance or other assistance to be able to fully participate, please let us know. We will reach out to you directly to support your participation.

Summer Hosting Opportunity for Families

Host a high school or college student from Japan for 1-4 weeks this summer! Hosting an international student is a great way to learn about a new culture, establish global friendships, and introduce young people to the great wide world. It is an impactful experience centered around international collaboration, solidarity, and education. The students are coming to share cultures, practice English, and become part of an American household. Students will have weekday English classes and activities at Portland State University or Pacific International Academy, commuting on public transit. (We also have long term college students enrolled at PSU, PIA, PCC campuses, Clark College, and Lewis and Clark College.) Students bring their own spending money and are covered by comprehensive medical and accident insurance. Families receive orientation materials, 24/7 support, and a small hosting stipend. ACES is a PNW nonprofit that has been connecting families and students since 1995. Learn more at acescollegehomstay.org, apply online, or contact us at aces.org@exploretheworld.org or 971-387-6388.

Thank you!
