  • 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. Bureau of Planning - 08/03/05 Southeast District Page 1 Profile Demographic Data Population Southeast Portland experienced modest population growth (3.1%) compared to the City as a whole (8.7%).

  • Parks Replacement Bond – Phase 2 – Community Project Suggestions
    Parks Replacement Bond – Phase 2 – Community Project Suggestions In the following spreadsheet, Portland Parks staff have provided a response to every comment submitted or heard at neighborhood coalition meetings, town halls, the online comment form, and through email. All comments were shared with Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz for her consideration. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit comments and questions during this process. Your insight into your community’s priorities is invaluable in verifying the proposed Phase 2 list, and your input was used to create the final Phase 2 project list. The Bond program is successfully meeting its goal of addressing critical repair needs, but we know that there still remains a $258M funding gap for major maintenance needs over the next ten years. Since this Bond is for repair and replacement, it also does not address the anticipated $480M funding gap in funded growth needs expected over the next 10 years. Please know that Commissioner Fritz and Portland Parks & Recreation will continue to work with the community to identify further funds to meet these growing needs. Thank you again for your feedback and participation! PP&R Bond Phase 2 Project Suggestions from the Community 6/16/2017 Theme Park Community Suggestion Response from Portland Parks & Recreation 1. Playgrounds Albert Kelly About nine months ago, the slide and merry-go-round were torn out due to lead paint. Albert Kelly is on the Phase 2 Play Piece Replacement list to replace the slide.

  • Mapping Outdoor Recreation and Publicly Accessible Lands in Southern Wisconsin
    This Land is Your Land: Mapping Outdoor Recreation and Publicly Accessible Lands in Southern Wisconsin By: Megan Howell, Katie Kowalsky, Calla Little, Clare Trainor Abstract This project attempts to create an interactive web map of nature based recreational activities and publicly accessible lands in Southeastern and South­Central Wisconsin. Due to the lack of accessible information, we felt there was a need to build an interface that synthesized data from multiple sources, with the goal of informing the public about the types of publicly accessible lands and the variety of recreational opportunities in the study area. This map leverages open source mapping software such as jQuery, Leaflet, Bootstrap and Mapbox tiles in its creation. While we created a successful web map, our struggles with collecting and formatting geographic data reflect the poor quality currently available to the public. The process of this project shows the potential for future mapping endeavours of other public services in the state of Wisconsin. Introduction In Wisconsin, we are fortunate enough to have a plethora of publicly accessible lands, including many outdoor recreation areas. However, this information is not easily found in one place, and is instead spread out across multiple websites with varying degrees of availability and accuracy. For the public it is often difficult to locate these accessible lands as well as determine which outdoor recreational activities are allowable on these properties. Due to this issue, the general population is not well informed about what types of public lands exist in our state, where they are, and what recreational activities are available on these lands.
