RCPNA General Membership Meeting – Tuesday, February 27, 7-9pm

Posted on February 19, 2024February 23, 2024 by Michele Heile

Hello Neighbors,

Sandy Boulevard has been our Main Street for more than a century. But Sandy will be changing over the next several years and our next General Meeting will focus on broad outlines of this change and ways we as a neighborhood centered on this boulevard can understand what will change and contribute to what will be a years-long process.

The Future of Sandy discussion will be led by board member Laura Serecin, and exploratory in nature:

What do people experience on Sandy?
How do people want to experience Sandy?
Do people have feelings/ideas on how to balance Sandy as a transportation corridor and a true boulevard where folks walk/stroll/bike rather than rely on the automobile?

Join us at our next General Meeting to participate in small group conversations to help contribute to the future on Sandy.

Join us at the next RCPNA General Meeting

Meeting Date: Tuesday, February 27, 2024
Meeting Time: 7:00 PM-9:00 PM
Location: In person, German American Society, 5626 NE Alameda St, Portland, OR 97213

We hope to see you then!

Rose City Park neighborhood is also Portland District 3, and all are welcome to attend.

First, leaders of SEUL will describe what a district coalition office is, and how it helps neighborhood associations connect with the city. They will describe the types of issues that are great for a neighborhood association to tackle, and when it will be best to connect directly with a city councilor. There will be time for Q&A.
