Recent Events
Traffic Safety Event: March 30
As students returned to school after spring break, it was hard to miss the “Slow Down” signs along SW Vermont Street the morning of March 30. A crew of neighborhood volunteers along with Portland City Councilors Olivia Clark, Mitch Green and Eric Zimmerman, plus State Representative Dacia Grayber, joined the third successful Traffic Safety event.
Volunteers waved signs to encourage drivers to slow down and yield at crosswalks in this 20 mph school zone. Organizers of the event included West Hills Montessori School in partnership with PBOT Safe Routes to School; Portland Police Bureau; District Four Coalition; and the Maplewood, Multnomah and Hayhurst Neighborhood Associations. Despite the visual reminders all along the road, officers from the Portland Police Bureau issued several warnings to speeding and crosswalk-rushing drivers. Let’s slow down for the kids!
US Census Data Workshops: February 18 Recording Available
Neighbors can learn how to use the most up-to-date US Census data from a US Census Bureau specialist at an ongoing series of virtual sessions. Census data is useful for grant writing, emergency planning, customer demographics for businesses and many other areas where you need to know more about your neighborhood.
The second in a series of US Census data workshops, sponsored by the Hayhurst and Hillsdale Neighborhood Associations, was held on Zoom on February 18.
A recording is available of the February 18 session about “Population, New Resident, and Language Data” at this link (passcode nF?T1T8e).
Handouts from the workshop are available here.
The next workshop on March 18 will focus on “Transportation and Emergency Planning.” The final workshop in the series will be held on April 15, focusing on how businesses can use Census data. All neighbors in Southwest Portland are invited to attend these sessions.
