If you love the Mounted Police Unit, please write the City Council, the Mayor, the Portland Police Chief, and the Portland Central Precinct. With the current recession, the city of Portland is facing budget cuts, and unfortunately the Mounted Patrol Unit is being looked at for cuts.
In December 2009, the Pearl District Neighborhood Association made a motion and approved to write a letter of support for the MPU. They are a good asset to the community and an important aspect of our neighborhood and city. If the Mounted Patrol Unit is cut, the Pearl District will not feel the same without them.
A letter dated Jan 2nd was sent to the Police Chief to express neighborhood support for MPU. Steve Trujillo, president of the Downtown Neighborhood Association, who was involved in the budget talks, says he hopes the mounted unit is saved again. “We love the MPU,” Trujillo said. “It’s got a unique role.”
This is the final design for an “Interpretative Sign” that is currently off for printing. The new sign will be placed at Tanners Spring Park for all to enjoy. The installation of the sign is expected in about two months. Keep an eye out for it.
Update: Construction of the streetcar work will begin in the Pearl District on Lovejoy. Here we go folks, try to be safe and avoid this area during rush hour time.
Please be advised that installation of a sewer line will begin the week of Feb. 22, 2010 on NW 9th and Lovejoy. This work area will be under construction for up to nine weeks.
(Construction subject to change).
Streetcar Loop construction will begin soon in the Pearl District. Work below occurs in 2010:
Lane closures and detours will occur during this time. Pedestrians and driveways will be accommodated. Thank you all for your patience.
The Portland City Council & Bureau Directors want your input on the proposed budget. Please join us at one of three community budget forums. You will have the opportunity to review and weigh in on real budget decisions the City of Portland is currently facing. City Council, bureau directors and staff will be available to hear your priorities.

As reported on the Daily Journal of Commerce Oregon: A total renovation of a one-story structure in Portland’s Pearl District is under way. The former industrial building at the corner of Northwest Flanders Street and 14th Avenue will be getting a seismic upgrade as well as new windows and storefronts to make way for 20,000 square feet of office and retail space. Robert Gray Partners is the general contractor and architect of record for the project for the Real Estate Investment Group. Work should be completed in early spring.
VIBRANT PDX: Volunteering as Innovative Businesses to Reduce Alcohol-related Nuisances Together.
The City of Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI) is forming an area wide coalition to address livability and public safety issues in the Downtown core:
ONI is proposing a voluntary agreement between the City of Portland and all the holders of Oregon Liquor Control Commission Off Premise Liquor Licenses in the Downtown, Old Town/Chinatown, and part of the Pearl Neighborhoods to address the problems associated with street drinking and chronic intoxication that negatively impact everyone. The proposal is designed to limit the availability of high alcohol content beverages and large quantities of alcohol that are favored by those who illegally drink in public.
After a two-year hiatus, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R), the Project Advisory Committee, and design consultant the Office of Cheryl Barton are back at work on The Fields Neighborhood Park, refining the original concept plan and moving into schematic design.
Recent developments continue to move the long-awaited park, located at NW Overton and NW 11th Avenues, forward towards construction. Last fall, PP&R furthered the public involvement process and recruited two focus groups to provide much needed insight into two key park spaces: the Children’s Play Area and the Dog Area. The results: parents and child advocates clearly indicated the need for active, engaging, and kinetic activities; dog owners and advocates expressed concern over the size of the proposed dog area.
