CNA Letter on Highway 30 Safety

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

The Concordia Neighborhood Association sent this letter to decision-makers, following a series of recent fatal crashes on North Portland Highway / Highway 30 Bypass:

Hwy_30_Safety_Letter_CNA-Sept_2020-signed

To date, we have only received supportive responses from Congressman Earl Blumenauer, and Metro Councilor Sam Chase. No other decision-maker has had the common decency to even reply, much less join the coalition seeking solutions for the conditions on this deadly facility.

CNA LUTC Draft Agenda: Wed, May 20, 2020

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Hi folks,

We held our second fully-virtual CNA LUTC meeting last month (April), and it seems we’re getting used to this thing now, things are working well. Not only do you no longer even need to leave your house to attend, but you don’t even have to feel guilty about that, because nobody else is leaving their house to attend the meeting physically, either!

And yet, all of this distancing is also increasing the levels of social isolation in our community. Once the time comes, it really will do us all a lot of good to spend some time outside in the nice weather, hanging out with our neighbors, both those we know already, and those we are about to meet.

Following on a conversation the Board had on this topic in April, the LUTC will discuss the potential for block parties that close the street to allow for safe socializing for neighbors. We’ll have Kim Harrison from PBOT joining us to hear our thoughts, goals, and ideas, which she will bring back to the Portland in the Streets group to consider as they work on next steps for the block party, play streets, and other programs they offer.

To join our April meeting, on Wednesday, May 20th at 7pm, use this login information:

March, 2020 CNA LUTC Will Be Virtual-Only — No In-Person Meeting

Posted on by Posted in Land Use & Transportation
For our March CNA LUTC meeting, we won’t be meeting in person but instead will have a call-in number and web video link set up, with screen sharing capabilities.
With COVID-19 out in the community, it’s not worth the risk of exposure for us to meet in person this month.
The meeting will be publicized on our website and Facebook page; the web tools will be open to all neighbors to use to participate, not just committee members:
Web: meet.google.com/ocg-wgut-iki
Phone: ‪+1 316-512-3077‬ PIN: ‪417 604 919‬#
See attached for the draft agenda.
Looking forward to discussing next week.
