Your input is needed as the Portland Bureau of Transportation plans improvements to the MLK-Columbia (and Lombard) area! The focus of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is about freight mobility, but input from the Woodlawn neighborhood is particularly needed to ensure that the needs of pedestrians (especially parents and small children coming from north of Lombard to Woodlawn school) and bicyclists are understood and incorporated as much as possible.  Come to the next meetings:

Thursday, September 24 from 3:30-5:30 pm (follows an agenda)

Thursday, October 15 from 4-7 pm (open house – drop in anytime)

Both meetings are at the Oregon Humane Society at 1067 NE Columbia Blvd. Portland, OR 97211

ALSO – Woodlawn School will be talking with parents and proposing changes to how traffic approaches the school to ensure the safety of children.  If you are a parent, you’ll hear about it at Back to School Night (Sept 24) and we’ll keep you posted here…
