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.

A Report on the 2003 Parks Levy Investment Objective 1: Restore
A Report on the 2003 Parks Levy Investment In November 2002, Portland voters approved a five-year Parks Levy to begin in July 2003. Levy dollars restored budget cuts made in FY 2002-03 as well as major services and improvements outlined in the Parks 2020 Vision plan adopted by City Council in July 2001. In order to fulfill our obligation to the voters, we identified four key objectives. This report highlights what we have accomplished to date. Objective 1: Restore $2.2 million in cuts made in 2002/03 budget The 2003 Parks Levy restored cuts that were made to balance the FY 2002-03 General Fund budget. These cuts included the closure of some recreational facilities, the discontinuation and reduction of some community partnerships that provide recreational opportunities for youth, and reductions in maintenance of parks and facilities. Below is a detailed list of services restored through levy dollars. A. Restore programming at six community schools. SUN Community Schools support healthy social and cross-cultural development of all participants, teach and model values of respect and inclusion of all people, and help reduce social disparities and inequities. Currently, over 50% of students enrolled in the program are children of color. 2003/04 projects/services 2004/05 projects/services Proposed projects/services 2005/06 Hired and trained full-time Site Coordinators Total attendance at new sites (Summer Continue to develop programming to serve for 6 new PP&R SUN Community Schools: 2004-Spring 2005): 85,159 the needs of each school’s community and Arleta, Beaumont, Centennial, Clarendon, increase participation in these programs. -
Budget Reductions & Urban Forestry Learning Landscapes Plantings
View this email in your browser Share this URBAN FORESTRY January 2016 Get Involved! | Resources | Tree Permits | Tree Problems | Home In This Issue Budget Reductions & Urban Forestry Learning Landscapes Plantings, Urban Forestry in the Schoolyard Hiring Youth Conservation Crew (YCC) Summer Crew Leader, Apply by Thursday, March 3, 2016 Upcoming Urban Forestry Workshops, Free and Open to the Public Budget Reductions & Urban Forestry You may have recently heard about the upcoming 5% budget cuts proposed for Parks programs. Among the difficult reductions proposed, Urban Forestry could be effected by elimination of the $185,000 Dutch Elm Disease (DED) Treatment program. The City of Portland has minimized the spread of DED and avoided the decimation of the American elm (Ulmus americana) with a successful elm monitoring and treatment program. Without advanced warning, rapid detection and removal, the American elm could ultimately vanish from our landscape. Eastmoreland, Ladd’s Addition, the South Park blocks, Lents Park, Laurelhurst Park, and Overlook Park are areas where elms play a significant role in neighborhood identity. "Many communities have been able to maintain a healthy population of mature elms through a vigilant program of identification and removal of diseased elms and systematic pruning of weakened, dying or dead branches" -Linda Haugen, Plant Pathologist, USDA Forest Service Eliminating this program will also require adjacent property owners to cover the cost of removing DED- infected street trees themselves. The cut will also reduce citywide 24/7 emergency response to clear roads of trees which have fallen during storms, and reduce regular maintenance of publicly-owned trees- additional activities performed by some of the same staff . -

M E M O R a N D U M To: Oregon Metro and Trimet From: Nelson\Nygaard Team Date: June 25, 2019 Subject: Central City Transit Capacity - Screening Report
M E M O R A N D U M To: Oregon Metro and TriMet From: Nelson\Nygaard Team Date: June 25, 2019 Subject: Central City Transit Capacity - Screening Report The Central City Transit Capacity Analysis (CCTCA) project is an effort to define a representative project that addresses light rail capacity and reliability issues in the Central City and that improves regional mobility by eliminating major sources of rail system delay. A representative pro ject is intended to give project sponsors and partners enough information to scope and estimate costs for future operational, engineering, and environmental studies. The representative pro ject will also provide conceptual, preliminary information for stakeholders and the general public. The Portland Central City is the economic and cultural center of the region, with the densest population of people and jobs in Oregon. It is home to numerous regional destinations, including the Oregon Convention Center, Rose Quarter, Union Station, the Pearl District and Old Town/Chinatown, Do wntown, Portland State University, and Providence Park. Traffic congestion, surface transit limitations, limited Willamette River crossings, and Steel Bridge rail capacity and reliability issues all impact the movement of people to and through downtown Portland and between Regional and Town Centers. Projected population and employment growth in the Central City and throughout the region will exacerbate the problem in the future. Improvements to the light rail system are among the most critical, sustainable, and cost-effective means to ensure access to Central City and provide the regional mobility needed to support job and population growth. The project, including this Screening Report, are guided by a Technical Group composed of representatives from local partner agencies. -

Woodpeckers in the City: Habitat Use and Minimum Area Requirements of Woodpeckers in Urban Parks and Natural Areas in Portland, Oregon by Adam Baz A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Thesis Committee: Michael T. Murphy, Chair Marion Dresner Erin Shortlidge Joe Liebezeit Portland State University 2018 ABSTRACT Urbanization has contributed to the fragmentation and alteration of natural habitats around the globe, and is rapidly increasing. In this context, forested parks play a critical role for many species by providing patches of usable habitat within the urban matrix. Such patches may be particularly valuable to forest-specialists like woodpeckers (Picidae ). Yet many woodpeckers require large forest patches, which are limited in fragmented landscapes. -
