Temporary Bike Corral Closure

I wanted the community to know that the on-street bicycle corral at the corner of SE Belmont and 33rd Avenue will be removed this week due to traffic operation needs along this street.
The corral will be removed for approximately 2 weeks and then reinstalled using the newer City standards, which replaces the yellow curbing and reflective wands with white pavement markings.
We are also looking at ‘upgrading’ the bike corral at the corner of SE Belmont and 34th Avenue with the new standard design at the same time.
If there are any questions related to the bicycle parking changes I can be reached directly on 503-823-0805.
Thank you again!

      Sunnyside School Park Use By Non-Students

      The Sunnyside Neighborhood Association would like to say thanks to those who took the time to respond to our query about park usage and gauge your thoughts on how the exclusive use by SES students between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays was working. Your feedback has been helpful.

      We wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that we will now be posting on our calendar days that SES students arrive late as part of Portland Public Schools planning and budget processes, and days when children are not in school and the community would be welcome at the park.

      SES does not have school this Friday, Feb. 4, and school does not begin until 10:45 on Wednesday, Feb. 9. There is at least one late arrival day each month. There also is no school Monday, Feb. 21.

      In March, the late opening day (10:45) is March 9. There is no school from Friday, March 18-March 25. Students return March 28.

      We hope you find this information helpful as you plan your day and where you will spend it.

      1. Approve agenda/minutes (2 min). Move to delete item #3. Approved. Minutes approved.

      2. December Holiday potluck: planning (10+ min). Holiday Cheer is welcome. Do we want to invite anyone? We assigned Chuck to bring his usual platter. Appreciation of Gary Ballou. Appreciate John Noel. Appreciate Jane. Newsletter delivery people. Add an invite to each stack? Jane will personally call them. Tim suggests someone donate a $10 toward a meal somewhere. Tim will send Reuben of Certificate of Appreciation. Dec. 9th 7-9pm at SEUL. Bill will bring some drinks. Jane will bring a cake. Gina will bring food. BRING FOOD. Bill will talk to the regular food donors since we’ve missed a few months. Move to extend time for agenda. Jane seconds. Entertainment? Deanna Wilder? Bill will ask her. Back up plan? Via email. Singer Songwriter.

      3. SNA Budget – report back (Jane 5 min). DELETED.

      4. BSF future & SNA’s role – follow up (discussion 5+ min). Tim wants to support the takeover of the BSF. SNA wants to see the BSF continue. Brings people out.  If SNA takes over the responsibilities of the BSF, is it worth having the conversation about the PURPOSE of the fair. Will it still be a commercial endeavor. Would we do as we have been doing? Bill notes that was discussed today. What is the intent? Noted that there was a big focus on vending not so much on community builder. If SNA took it on, we could balance it. Leadership and Collaboration. If we provide the Leadership we would like to see a bit more on community building. Tim moves that SNA supports and wants the street fair to continue and we are prepared to take a leadership role. Paul 2nd. Approved.

      5. Newsletter frequency change? (discussion 10 min). Bill: wants to revisit the idea of reducing newsletter frequency to every 2 months. Reduction in resources would drop by half. Believes we’d keep the 80% of benefit. Mentions electronic communication tools. Bill moves to every other month. MG 2nds. Reuben has long been opposed to reduction. Champion of the benefit of monthly. It is a lot of work. And by reducing the time frequency do we lose the continuity of the volunteers. Bill notes there would not be a black hole in the off months. Just an extension. Gina would write an article/poll for the newsletter to see what neighbors want to see. Reuben hears unsolicited positivity around the newsletter. Tim mentions that what he always hears while delivering the support of it. Monthly is important to people. Having done it for so many years, the monthly pattern is helpful. Tim also suspects that if we break it up a bit we’d have advertisers & volunteers drop off. Bill states that he doesn’t agree that we need a 30 day cycle to stay in the groove. Thinks folks would be ok with a 60 day. Thinks we could project articles for the future publications. The benefit for bi-monthly outweighs. Paul says it’s hard to gauge. Focus group of 10 random selected neighbors and quiz them on content to see how well  folks know what is going on. We are biased and intimately involved. 2 yes. 3 no. 1 abstain. Motion fails.

      6. Newsletter articles (due November 15). Jane will contribute. Tim will write on Blair. Gina tree recycling. Articles due by 15th. MG/Paul to write cell tower summary.

      7. Other Business . Bill wants to talk about Chuck Lawrence.

      8. Adjourn. 9:12pm.
