Major Runway Improvements Resume May 17 at PDX
Major Runway Improvements Resume May 17 at PDX
Portland International Airport neighbors should expect some changes as the second year of a three year runway rehabilitation program resumes May 17.
The major improvements to the airport’s two primary runways will rehabilitate both the north and south runways as well as extending the north runway. The first year of the project, which occurred in 2009, rehabilitated the north runway. The second year of the project will continue with the extension of the north runway which is needed to accommodate larger aircraft that require the extra length for takeoff at PDX when the longer south runway closes for rehabilitation in 2011.
Construction activities are scheduled to conclude around mid-October 2010 and will resume in the spring of 2011 for the final year of the program. Because of varying runway closures during construction, more propeller aircraft are expected to use the airport’s north-south (crosswind) runway, meaning airport neighbors may notice a temporary change in flight patterns and aircraft noise.

2010 Concordia Neighborhood Cleanup is on Saturday, May 1
Concordia Neighborhood Cleanup
When: Saturday, May 1, 8:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.
Where: PCC Metropolitan Workforce Training Center
(NE Corner of 42nd and Killingsworth)
The 2010 Concordia Neighborhood Cleanup is happening on Saturday, May 1. We can all feel proud that Concordia consistently fills more drop boxes than any other NE neighborhood during our cleanup event. We can also take more pride in the fact that we recycle thousands of pounds of metal, electronics, reusable household goods/ furniture, and bikes during our event. This years event is another chance to come together as a team and make a difference with your neighbors. If you are not capable of transporting that which you wish to dispose of, we would like to help.
Those in need of assistance may contact Ryan Saari at 503-737-9339 (between 9:00 and 5:00 weekdays) to schedule assistance from Oregon Community volunteers.
Please remember that this is a fund raising event for your CNA so that we may continue to positively enhance our community. We are asking for donations of $5/car, $10/truck, $15/large truck, and $20/ oversized load.
Please note:
E-Waste: we are not sending any electronics to landfill. ReTronics, a local e-wast recycler will be there to take what you have for a small fee.
- Computer monitors = $10
- TVs (any size) = $20
- Everything else (computers, printers, VCRs) = $5.00 per armload.

Why is it important to recycle e-waste?
Electric equipment is made with a variety of elements, like plastics, glass, steel, gold, lead, mercury, cadmium, and fire retardants that can be recaptured through recycling and used again. If thrown away, electronic equipment can release toxins to the environment, potentially polluting the groundwater we drink and the air that we breathe. Recycling the resources in electronic equipment eliminates the need to obtain these elements from nature, decreasing production impact on the environment.
Items we cannot take:
- Hazardous waste
- batteries
- tires
- sod
- rocks
- concrete
- paint
- oil
Please see Metro for hazardous waste recycling guidelines and locations.
We do need additional volunteers to help during two shippers either 7:30 – 10 A.M. or 10A.M. to 1 P.M. Please call Ken Forcier at 503-522-7660 to sign up to help.
