Here’s just a bit of our very successful neighborhood cleanup. Eleven tons of waste filled five dropboxes. See the May newsletter for much more on this busy day.

Traffic Advisory: Street paving closes lanes on North Vancouver Way beginning April 5
The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that street improvements will require lane closures on North Vancouver Way between North Marine Drive and North 3rd Drive beginning Friday, April 5, through Thursday, April 18, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. The public is advised to expect delays, travel cautiously, observe all lane closures and directions by flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.
One traffic lane will remain open at all times. The lane closures are necessary to grind down the existing pavement and repave 3.5 lane miles of the street.
Local access to residences and businesses will be provided.
This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
