NE 72nd Drive Greenway Enhancements construction will begin Monday, October 26

Posted on by

Rose City Park, Roseway, and Madison South neighbors,

NE 72nd Drive and Greenway Enhancements:
Work on the NE 72nd Drive Greenway Enhancements project is expected to begin next Monday, October 26. The contractor’s construction schedule estimates crews to be on site through December 1.

Traffic impacts:
NE 72nd Drive will be closed to southbound motor vehicle traffic during work hours, which are 7 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday – Friday.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will install pavement markings, signs, and concrete separators along NE 72nd Drive between NE Sacramento and Tillamook Streets to enhance the existing shared use path and Neighborhood Greenway.

People walking and biking will be allowed through during work hours. The road will be reopened to vehicles outside of working hours.

Additional background about the project and contact information can be found on the website: Portland.gov/72Drive.

Hello Neighbors,

Please join us at the next RCPNA General Meeting on September 29 at the German American Society. Election season is here and we have multiple races on the ballot. On Tuesday night, we will highlight two races: Multnomah County Chair and Portland City Council District 3.

The Multnomah County Chair’s race will be a facilitated discussion between the candidates. If you have a question you would like the facilitator to ask, please email us at info@rcpna.org. Due to the sheer number of candidates, the Portland City Council candidates will be available for one-on-one discussion in a “speed dating” format. See the full agenda:

  • 7:00-7:10 PM: Welcome + Introductions
  • 7:10-7:45 PM: Multnomah County Chair Discussion/Debate
  • 7:45-7:50 PM: Transition
  • 7:50- 8:50 PM: Portland City Council District 3 Candidates
  • 8:50-9:00 PM: Announcements

We hope to see you on Tuesday, September 29, at the German American Society (5626 NE Alameda St).

Do you have a Catio you’d like to show off? Sign up to be a stop on the Catio Tour! For those without a Catio, check out the event on September 12th!

Hello Rose City Park neighbors,

I’m reaching out from the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon with a special request for your help. We are currently looking for community members who would be willing to share their Catios as part of our 14th Annual Catio Tour this September.

This event is a wonderful collaboration between the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon and the Bird Alliance of Oregon. Together, we’re working toward a simple but powerful goal: keeping cats safe at home while protecting the birds and wildlife we all care about.

Catios are such a beautiful reflection of that balance. They give cats a safe way to enjoy the outdoors, and they help our neighborhoods thrive for both pets and wildlife. By opening your Catio to the community, you can inspire others and make a meaningful difference.

If you or someone you know might be interested in participating, you can learn more and apply here:

You can also help simply by sharing this post with your networks: NEXT DOOR
Every share helps us reach someone who cares, someone who can help create a safer, healthier environment for cats and wildlife alike.
Thank you so much for being part of this compassionate community,
Sabrina
