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.
