PACE Planning is a team of five Master of Urban and Regional Planning students at Portland State University completing a capstone planning project for the WCMC (Willamette Corridor Mobility Committee). The project objective is to develop a community-driven active transportation plan that improves safety and accessibility along the N Willamette Blvd corridor, which WCMC can present to PBOT for implementation. The team will maintain contact with PBOT in order to ensure that the plan and outreach process are compatible with PBOT standards. The outreach process aims to gather input from stakeholders, community representatives, and residents who may use the corridor, with some engagement activities targeted towards groups who are less often involved in the planning process (youth, people of color, low income). We would like to introduce the project to the Arbor Lodge Neighborhood Association in preparation for a larger participatory engagement activity at the April meeting.
7:30 – 7:35 Call for volunteers, designate committees
If you are interested or skilled in law, data analysis, land use, transportation, communications, photography, design or grant writing… please come and let us know!

The Free Fruit Tree Giveaway this past Saturday was a wonderful success and lots of fun. We gave away 49 trees to 42 people, drank coffee/tea/cocoa, ate cookies, and talked trees for a few hours.
We want to thank several businesses that helped make this all possible;
* Resilience Design - in Overlook - owned by Mulysa Melco
* Grindhouse/Sexy Coffee - Amanda donated the coffee
* Treecology - Certified Arborists Dayne Galash and Mark hung out and coached new tree owners with info on planting, site selection, pruning.
Please thank these businesses if you get a chance!
And look for a Tree Giveaway next February/March to build the Arbor Lodge Orchard in honor of Brian Duncan, Past Chair of the AL Neighborhood Association.

Changes Coming to Rosa Parks
If you live in the neighborhood you've probably experienced speeding traffic on Rosa Parks, cars not yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks and the difficulty of crossing Rosa Parks from your neighborhood street.
Last October, a group of Overlook and Arbor Lodge neighbors packed the Madrona Hill Cafe and we gathered data regarding traffic safety incidents. This information has been shared with PBOT.
At the link below you will find:
· Proposed design for the N Willamette to N Delaware section.
· Parking study data
(www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/rosaparks)
Please come out to the Kenton Firehouse Wednesday, February 28th at 6:30 pm
to learn more, ask questions about the design and provide feedback.
