  • District Background
    DRAFT SOUTHEAST LIAISON DISTRICT PROFILE DRAFT Introduction In 2004 the Bureau of Planning launched the District Liaison Program which assigns a City Planner to each of Portland’s designated liaison districts. Each planner acts as the Bureau’s primary contact between community residents, nonprofit groups and other government agencies on planning and development matters within their assigned district. As part of this program, District Profiles were compiled to provide a survey of the existing conditions, issues and neighborhood/community plans within each of the liaison districts. The Profiles will form a base of information for communities to make informed decisions about future development. This report is also intended to serve as a tool for planners and decision-makers to monitor the implementation of existing plans and facilitate future planning. The Profiles will also contribute to the ongoing dialogue and exchange of information between the Bureau of Planning, the community, and other City Bureaus regarding district planning issues and priorities. PLEASE NOTE: The content of this document remains a work-in-progress of the Bureau of Planning’s District Liaison Program. Feedback is appreciated. Area Description Boundaries The Southeast District lies just east of downtown covering roughly 17,600 acres. The District is bordered by the Willamette River to the west, the Banfield Freeway (I-84) to the north, SE 82nd and I- 205 to the east, and Clackamas County to the south.

Below is a detailed list of services restored through levy dollars. A. Restore programming at six community schools.

    2019–20 YEAR 5 PARKS BOND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY YEAR 5 Dear Portlanders, We are happy to report that 46 of the 52 Bond projects have been completed, with the remaining six projects underway. Your investment has been used wisely. Year 5 of the Bond started out as planned: • In July 2019, Commissioner Fish cut the ribbon on the completely overhauled Peninsula Pool. • In October 2019, the community gathered to celebrate a more accessible playground at Glenhaven Park. • Construction wrapped up on the installation of new play pieces and drainage repairs at over 30 parks. Sadly, 2020 started off with the loss of our colleague and beloved Parks Commissioner, Nick Fish. And then COVID-19 hit. With some adaptations, Bond projects stayed on track. Construction began on a new playground for Creston Park, and we completed a new playground at Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park, the first Portland park to be named solely after a Black woman. The public health crisis was followed by a groundswell of action for racial justice. Now, our parks and open spaces are even more precious than ever, serving as shared public spaces to exercise our bodies, our minds, and our voices. While this Bond could only tackle the most critical maintenance needs, it has given us all a glimpse of what we can achieve together. Let’s continue to create a more sustainable and more equitable future for our city and our parks. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay hopeful. Sincerely, Commissioner Amanda Fritz Portland Parks & Recreation Director Adena Long 1 PARKS BOND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY YEAR 5 46Projects completed Glenhaven Park playground opening celebration Projects6 underway Peninsula Pool opening celebration Current3 projects ahead of or on schedule Marshall Park bridge construction 2 PARKS BOND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY YEAR 5 NORTH Acquisitions at Cathedral, Open Meadow.

  • Street Tree Inventory
    – Street Tree Inventory What’s going on here? Portland Parks & Recreation is currently partnering with community groups in Alameda, Beaumont-Wilshire, Brentwood-Darlington, Creston-Kenilworth, Grant Park, Hillsdale, Hollywood, Humboldt, Rose City Park, and Wilkes to map and measure all street trees in those neighborhoods. Portland Parks & Recreation would eventually like to map and measure every street tree in its jurisdiction. What qualifies as a street tree? Street trees are those trees located in the public right-of-way, typically between the curb and the sidewalk. For the purposes of this project, the city will also be measuring the trees located in the median strip. What is the purpose of this project? The City of Portland has recognized a need to increase the number and diversity of trees on our city streets. These trees serve a range of benefits, including wildlife habitat, air quality improvement and storm water filtration. In addition, a substantial tree canopy over our city streets can help mitigate the summer-time heat index while beautifying our neighborhoods and increasing property values. Counting and measuring street trees will provide invaluable information for our city’s urban planners by determining structure and composition of the overall “urban forest,” clarifying which areas of the city need more street trees. This street tree inventory will help empower our community groups and neighborhood associations to make informed decisions regarding the management and stewardship of their urban forest. Following the inventory, each participating neighborhood will receive a thorough analysis and report for its street tree component, including tree distribution, species composition, potential stocking levels and net environmental benefits.
