Gateway businesses meet

City summit encourages walking
More and more Portland neighbors are discovering walking is the best way to get around, get exercise, and meet neighbors. Sometimes a walking experience can be enhanced with a simple path connection or just letting more people know where to find those great walking streets and trails.
With budgets shrinking, city and regional governments rely on area residents to take matters in their own hands and organize and implement improvements for pedestrians.
The Portland Office of Transportation, Southwest Neighbors, Inc and Southwest Trail Group, will present interactive and practical workshops designed to get you and your neighborhoods on a path to getting things done for pedestrians.
Mayor Tom Potter will be on hand at what is being billed as Pedestrian Summit II on Saturday, Sept. 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Multnomah Community Arts Center, 7688 S.W. Capitol Highway.
Topics will include developing a shared community vision; how to get started and how to build paths and trails with your neighbors; recruiting volunteers and getting them to come back; creative solutions to knotty pedestrian problems and walking groups, either joining in or start your own.
This may be the opportunity you have been looking for to make a difference in your neighborhood.
Register at www.PortlandTransportation.org/ Pedestrians/Summit2.htm. Registration deadline is Sept. 3.

Neighborhood associations stay ahead of neighborhood developments
Mid-County neighborhood groups are instrumental in keeping an eye on proposed changes in the area that are as diverse as a recent proposal to locate a composting facility near some residences, selecting locations for new skate parks and designing off-leash dog parks. Such changes can affect our quality of life. Your neighborhood association wants your input.
