Sunnyside Neighborhood Association
Helping connect neighbors through events and information in Portland's Sunnyside Neighborhood.
In the post announcing this Wednesday’s meeting re: traffic and pedestrian safety on our neighborhood corridors, we said that the Grey Wolfe was hit by a speeding car. At this time there is no evidence that the driver was speeding at the time of the crash or that speed was a factor in the crash. We have edited the original post to reflect this.
We apologize for any pain and anguish that this error has caused Grey’s family or the driver and their family.
Please join us on Wednesday Dec. 10th for a special Community Meeting about traffic safety on Sunnyside’s major traffic corridors. Last week, another pedestrian—beloved friend, mother, grandmother, and therapist Grey Wolfe—was tragically hit by a car and killed on Cesar Chavez Blvd. Grey was returning from her morning walk to Mount Tabor. We are calling a special community meeting to talk to Clay Veka, Vision Zero Program Manager with the City of Portland; a PBOT engineer; and representatives from both Councilor Koyama-Lane and Morillo’s offices. Please come with your questions and ideas for how we can improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians both along Cesar Chavez and 30th Ave. (And other main thoroughfares.)
The meeting, which will be held in the upstairs conference room at Southeast Uplift (3534 SE Main St.) and online via Zoom.
We’ll also be collecting clothing and gear for our annual SSP Winter Gear Drive—so bring winter coats, jackets, pants, sweaters, long johns, socks, gloves, sleeping bags, tents, and tarps.
The full agenda is available here.
Join us tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 12th at 7 PM @ SE Uplift for our next general meeting!
We’ll be discussing how neighbors can help neighbors in times of trouble, whether that is responding to a natural disaster, bringing aid and comfort to neighbors in economic need, or protecting each other from unexpected, unasked-for federal incursions.
Please bring canned goods or other non-perishable food items to share with the Oregon Food Bank.
The meeting is also available on Zoom at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85776168096?pwd=dTU3V0wycWZxTmhSVGNjNjJxdjNldz09
See you then!
Join the SNA tomorrow, Wednesday September 10th, at 7 PM for our first meeting of the fall! We will hear from Lutheran Family Services about dispute resolution and mediation services they can provide to help neighborhoods live together in community. We will also have time for open discussion, so if you have issues affecting Sunnyside you’d like the SNA to help out with, bring them and let us know!
Meeting will be held at SE Uplift, 3534 SE Main St., and online at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85776168096?pwd=dTU3V0wycWZxTmhSVGNjNjJxdjNldz09

The SNA will hold its annual meeting and elections for the board of directors this Wednesday, May 14th at 7 PM at SE Uplift (3534 SE Main St.). As our bylaws require voting by paper ballot, this will be an in-person only meeting. We will be electing 4 board members during this election for 2 year terms. Nominees need not be present in order to run, but we hope you can join us.
This is a wonderful opportunity to serve your neighborhood while meeting new people and having some fun too! If you would like to learn more, please reach out to me at [email protected]
Light refreshments will be provided and it should be a beautiful evening for a stroll over to SE Uplift. The meeting will last about an hour. Find a draft agenda at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1awIGjySpeicmy8KAm-uu4XDj_HYMFm45kiAX8h8kax0/view.
