TriMet’s proposal for bus service changes is now online at trimet.org/buschanges and we invite you to study it, provide feedback, and encourage your neighbors to do the same. The proposal includes additional service, beyond the starting assumptions we shared this winter. Service would include:
TriMet is also working with the community to create a long-term vision for better transit in the southeast part of the region, including the area around the new MAX Orange Line. Through 2015, TriMet will be identifying opportunities for more local and regional service and better connections to jobs, education, and services. We will also seek early opportunities for better local service and connections in and with the cities and urbanized areas of Clackamas County. Learn more and get involved at trimet.org/southeast. We will be distributing this info about the proposal on-board buses in July, and hosting open houses, which we hope you can attend. (Our next CAC meeting will be this fall.) Open houses:

Town Hall on Portland Parks Replacement Bond June 30, 2014 — 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm Cleveland High School Cafeteria (3400 SE 26th Ave, Portland, OR 97202) Co-hosted by: Portland Parks & Recreation and Portland Parks Foundation Please join us for a discussion about how the Parks Replacement Bond will help address urgent maintenance needs with no increased tax rates for Portlanders. Get your questions answered and give your input to Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz. Over the last century, Portlanders created and have maintained our parks system through a series of capital investments (bonds and levies). However, our park structures and facilities have finite life spans, and require ongoing investment to remain safe and accessible. As Portland’s existing parks bond—approved in 1994—is paid off in 2015, we have the opportunity to address critical park needs without increasing tax rates, by referring a Parks Replacement Bond to voters now. In Southeast Portland, a Replacement Parks Bond could fund project like replacing the playground at Creston Park, replacement of the Sellwood Park roof system on the pool building to address leaks before structural damage occurs, seismic improvements, urgent accessibility and restroom repairs at multiple parks, and more. A recent survey shows that more than 65 percent of Portlanders are supportive of a Replacement Bond would not increase tax rates and would fund some of the most critical repairs to our parks system. Get your questions answered on this unique opportunity at the Parks Replacement Bond Town Hall.

This is the second part of a community clean up of the public open space/dead end street at SE 19th Ave. and Division. Please join us in making it a place where you would like to picnic or play this summer!

We may try also creating a few places for people to sit and ponder (donations welcome) and clean off/cover the graffiti on the back fence. Wear your work clothes, bring gloves, rakes for rocks, shovels, etc. Have any hardy plants to donate or old garden benches, please bring them!
We did a lot of heavy lifting last month.
Join us for this tidying up, Saturday, June 21, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

About SE 19th Ave./Avalon Sanctuary:
In 1902, the City of Portland purchased this bit of land from the estate of Oregon Trail Pioneer Mary Fox Tibbetts for $1, to be used as a “street, called Avalon.” More than a hundred years later, it is a dead end street, public land, littered with garbage in the middle of a park-deprived, quickly growing inner-city neighborhood. Efforts over the last five years by neighborhood volunteers have sought to create a space that invites people in to rest or recreate. We hope with renewed public interest, City officials will consider adopting a formal plan for this public space so that it can be better utilized in our changing urban landscape.
