Sunday Parkways in Southwest!
On Sunday, May 17, Hayhurst volunteers were “Intersection Heroes” at the corner of SW Vermont and 34th, keepng cars away from pedestrians and cyclists enjoying an annual car-free experience crossing through our neighborhood. The Southwest event also ran through parts of Multnomah Village and Gabriel Park. It kicked off the 2026 Sunday Parkways season in Portland .
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!

A recording is available of the February 18 session about “Population, New Resident, and Language Data” at this link (passcode nF?T1T8e).
