N.E. 28th Ave. Commercial Greenway Concept 
Have been wondering about the construction at N.E. 28th Ave. and N.E. Hoyt St.?
Well guess what? It is part of the 20s Bikeway Project. Here are a couple safety improvements this new 9.1 mile 20s Bikeway will bring to the our neighborhood: Traffic calming on 28th Avenue between SE Stark and NE Glisan to enhance the shared use environment. Reduced speeds - a 20 mph speed limit - along greenway portions of the bikeway with stop sign reorientation, speed bumps and sharrows. Summary Of Project Improvements

Club 21 at 2035 N.E. Glisan will do its last days of business this weekend, with the Club's final night being Sunday, January 15.
Last weekend to enjoy one of Portland's great iconic dive bars. Looks like the building will be demolished to build a large mixed-use building. |

| Make Your Home Looked Lived In
Burglars tend to target homes that scream the look of being unoccupied.
Going on vacation, take steps to make your home look lived in: * Schedule lights, stereos and televisions on timers to generate activity in your home. Make sure sound is just audible from the porch. When outdoor and indoor lights are left on all day, it is obvious that no one is around. * Cancel the newspaper and mail during your leave. * Inform trusted neighbors about your trip so that they can look out for you, remove circulars left on your door knob and pick up mail and newspapers that didn't get cancelled. They will need to know if anyone is expected to visit your place. * Let neighbors know how to contact you in the event of an emergency or share information for a local emergency contact. Consider leaving a key with a trusted neighbor in case they need to enter your home during an emergency. * Ask neighbors to bring recycling bins to the curb on collection day and return them after trash service. * Arrange for neighbors, relatives or friends to visit your house periodically to make it look like someone is there. * Ask your neighbors to park in your driveway. * Don't announce your vacation plans on social media before or during your vacation. Post your photos and trip information after you return. * Hire a house sitter who has been background checked. If this is possible, it will eliminate many of the other steps.
