Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I hope you are enjoying this wonderful summer weather!
Next Monday I, along with some of my colleagues representing Portland, will hold a joint town hall on the new foreclosure protections taking effect on July 11th.
This week all residents/landowners of East Columbia neighborhood should have received a letter from the City’s Bureau of Environmental Services notifying them of a substantial increase to our stormwater fees.
The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that lane closures will be necessary on Northeast Marine Drive between Northeast 33rd Avenue and Northeast 122nd Avenue beginning Monday, June 4, through Friday, June 15, from 7:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. weekdays. The closure is necessary for grinding and paving.
One travel lane in one direction will be open at all times with flaggers. The traveling public is advised to expect long delays up to 20 minutes, travel cautiously while flaggers direct traffic through the work zone, and use alternate routes if possible. Local access to residences and businesses will be provided.
This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
Join us as we explore the ecology and value of the Blue Heron Wetlands with leading experts in the field and fun activities.
When: Sunday, May 20, 2012 from 1 – 4pm
Where: 2018 NE Blue Heron Dr.
Who: East Columbia Neighborhood Residents, guests and PSU students.
