Save the Date for the
Annual Veterans Day Parade
|
Monday, November 11, 9:30 am NE Sandy Blvd between 40th and 48th Avenues Portland’s 45th Annual Veterans Day Parade was established in 1974 by Vernon E. Ross, proprietor of Ross Hollywood Funeral Chapel, to honor all veterans, past and present, living and deceased.
The parade begins at NE 40th and Sandy and concludes at 48th and Sandy, at the flag pole in front of the Ross Chapel, followed by a flag-raising ceremony. Street parking is available throughout the Hollywood District. As such, parking is limited and we do recommend carpooling or using public transportation. For elderly or disabled attendees, a drop-off area is available at the Human Bean, just east of 48th and Sandy.
Covered seating is on the west side of NE 48th and Thompson, on a first-come, first-served basis. A special feature of the parade is Dignity Row, a group of organizations that provide veteran support, information, benefits and resources.
Parade starts at 9:30 am, the Hollywood Boosters are involved all day! Opportunities for involvement include putting up and taking down flags lining the parade route, serving coffee to volunteers and Veterans, being a parade marshal, packing lunches for the USO Show at the conclusion of the parade, staffing an information table for the Boosters, or serving on the Veteran's Parade Committee.
To get information about road closures or Dignity Row, to participate in or volunteer during the parade, to join its committee or become a sponsor, or to find out more about the parade’s history or to view photos,

Friends of Wilshire Park Playground Project
|
|
At last night’s Friends of Wilshire Park meeting, one of the group members walked in and set this piggy bank on the table:
It was sent by her daughter, who learned that the group still needs more funds to pay for the new playhouse at the Wilshire Park Playground. She had run to her room, grabbed her entire life savings, and gave it away to say thank you for the new car play structure and to do her bit toward finishing the playground.
We began our monthly meeting last night by celebrating the installation of the new play structure, which was funded entirely by the community. This new structure will last until the children playing on it today are parents themselves.
There’s only one finishing touch to come — the wheels — and they will be added soon. In the meantime, the new car is proving wildly popular with the kids. Babies can crawl by themselves onto the floor, and older kids are having fun climbing all over — sitting on the hood, peeking through the “headlights,” and loudly announcing that they are off to Alaska, San Diego, and/or Candy Land. We’re happy for them to go wherever their imaginations take them.
But then our attention turned immediately to the next task — getting across the finish line for funding the new playhouse. Our playground is really looking good now, but we won’t stop working until it has all the features it offered before and then some.

Rose City Park Playground Project
|
|
The Rose City Park Playground Project (RCPPP) is successfully moving forward on plans to revitalize the playground at Rose City Park. RCPPP Co-Chairs Joe Saraceno and Ben Dudley met with Parks and Recreation asset and planning managers in August to update them on the committee’s progress raising funds, building community support, and building a team of volunteers committed to seeing the project through. Fundraising events during the summer and individual contributions to the project have helped raise nearly $6,000! There is still a significant way to go to reach the goal of $100,000, but with continued support, they hope to grow fundraising through the support of local businesses, as well as continued individual contributions.
Playground designs are underway! The RCPPP has begun working with a local playground equipment dealer to get some preliminary designs of playground structures for the park. The RCPPP and the RCPNA will work together to gather community feedback before any final designs are made. Stay tuned!
The RCPPP is grateful for all the community support, volunteers, and donations made to the project thus far. Much has been accomplished and the RCPPP is excited about continuing the work of revitalizing the playground at Rose City Park.
Corporate and local business opportunities exist for contributing to this project, please email rosecityparkplaygroundproject@gmail.com to learn more.
Individuals interested in being involved with our committee or making a contribution to the RCPPP fund can email Ben and Joe at rosecityparkplaygroundproject@gmail.com, or contributions can be made at https://www.gofundme.com/f/rose-city-park-playground-project.

PROPOSED CHANGES TO
PORTLAND CITY CODE 3.96 - UPDATE
|
|
CODE CHANGE NEXT STEPS
Commissioner Chloe Eudaly announced that she has decided to present the proposed code changes as a report on November 14th. She indicated that this will allow Council more time to consider the facts and have a public conversation before taking it to a vote on the final package. "In making this announcement, I want to be very clear that I intend to see these policy changes through to completion in a timely manner. The changes proposed by Committee 3.96 reflect a trans-formative vision for the City’s approach to civic engagement and deserve fair consideration. We can no longer claim to believe in equity but refuse to update the code accordingly. However, heartfelt questions and concerns have been raised about what the new system may look like and how it will work—and I want to be able to answer them before advancing these changes."

Portland Bureau of Transportation updated the speed limit on NE Sunderland Avenue. The new speed limit is 25 mph.
- Consistently and aggressively reduce speeds on city-owned streets until safe speed limits are established citywide.
- Gain local authority for setting speed limits on City of Portland streets
Objective: Redesign dangerous streets to encourage safe speeds
- All new High Crash Network capital projects will include project components that help achieve safe speeds.
Objective: Educate Portlanders about the impact of speed
- Re-run the citywide Struck speed campaign in 2019 and 2020 to remind people of the life-changing impact of crashes.
- In 2019 and 2020, work with agency and community partners to create location-based, community-oriented safe speed campaigns that leverage Struck messaging
Objective: Enforce the speed limit
- In 2020, add at least four speed safety cameras or dual red-light running / speed safety cameras to Portland streets.
- Add to City’s legislative agenda a change in type of citation issued for automated enforcement tickets from moving violations to civil fines, which can reduce the burden of a citation while still supporting safe travel behaviors.
