About 30 neighbors who attended the August Neighborhood Association picnic completed survey postcards. And the results are in! Here are some of your concerns:
Sidewalks (want more)
Fill potholes and repair streets, especially Railroad Avenue
Vandalism and car prowlers (avoid problems by not leaving valuables in your car and locking it. Report suspicious persons or vehicles on 503-786-7500 immediately)
Dogs that are intimidating or threatening and allowed to go off leash
Traffic going too fast, especially on Monroe, Wood, Home Avenue and Harrison
Make it safer and easier to walk and bicycle in our neighborhood
Some of these concerns are currently being addressed with the City. The revision of the Transportation System Plan will elevate to a high priority finding funding for infill sidewalk projects. The Street Surface Maintenance Program has a long list of projects, including Railroad Avenue, scheduled for repair in the next couple of years.
Find out more about these and other projects at your NDA meetings on the second Monday evening of each month, 7-9pm at the Public Safety Building, 3200 SE Harrison.
If you observe a dog that is dangerous or threatening call 9-1-1 immediately. If there is a neighborhood problem with someone you know and their animals, call Chief Bob Jordan at 503-786-7400 and let him know. Nothing can be done to resolve neighborhood problems if you don't report them.
