Powell Plan gets support, some dissent
Posted in: Outer Southeast Portland, Powellhurst-Gilbert | Comments (0)
The Portland Planning and Sustainability Commission last month unanimously endorsed the Outer Powell Conceptual Design Plan, but not without unexpected drama.
The Plan governs improvements to Southeast Powell Boulevard between the I-205 Freeway and 174th Avenue. It calls for one travel lane in each direction, a center median with left turn refuges at major intersections, two bike lanes, and wide sidewalks with street furniture and trees west of 162nd Avenue.

Garre marks 76 years of volunteering
Posted in: east Portland, Mid-County Churches, Parkrose news, Volunteer opportunity | Comments (0)
You’re on an east Portland centric version of Jeopardy. An answer in the St. Rita Catholic Church category is Spaghetti Dinner. You ring in and say, “Rose Garre.” You are correct. If you answered Bert Garre or the Garre family, the judges would give it to you.
Rose Garre, second from right, marked her 76th year of volunteering at the St. Rita Catholic Church Spaghetti Dinner in April.
Since its beginning in 1936, a Garre — Rose, her husband Bert (until his passing in 2001) their children, grandchildren and cousins — have been part of every spaghetti dinner.
