Take The District 3 Community Priorities Survey by January 31st!

Hey, neighbors! Rose City Park Neighborhood Association has teamed up with other District 3 neighborhoods and community-based groups in the Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Coalition to gather your input on a range of civic matters related to community safety, housing, transportation, land use, the environment, and economic development. If you live and/or work in any of the 19 neighborhoods which make up the District 3 community, we want to hear from YOU!

Take the survey now!

Make your voice heard by share your opinion on the needs of our community by taking the District 3 Community Priorities Survey today! 

SE Uplift will award an extra $500 in 2025 Communication Funds to the neighborhood association with the most survey respondents per capita. Take the challenge: spread the word!

This survey is open through Friday, January 31st, 2025. We envision sharing the results at a district-wide community gathering in late winter/early spring with our new City Councilors to learn, connect and engage with each other for the common good. Survey takers will receive the results at the email provided and will be invited to the summit.

The results of this survey will be shared with our three newly-elected members to City Council (Tiffany Koyama Lane, Angelita Morillo and Steve Novick) to inform their policy-making efforts. 

Take the survey now!

This survey is expected to take 15 minutes to complete.

Trick or Treat on Fremont Street

Trick or Treat on Fremont Street returns October 31st, 4-6pm. Every year businesses within the Beaumont Business district hand out candy to trick or treaters on Halloween. This year, participating businesses will be giving out full size and fun size candy. A few lucky trick or treaters will also receive a gift card to a participating business of their choice! “Trick or Treat for Cans”, is a food donation event that gives back to the community. It will feature expanded hours (5-8pm).

Trick or Treat for Cans on Fremont Street

The “Trick or Treat for Cans” event October 31st, 5-8pm consists of trick or treaters heading door to door on Halloween during Trick or Treating hours, but instead of asking for candy, they will be requesting canned goods to be donated to Sunshine Division. Volunteers will be given tote bags and maps of the neighborhood. This will help ensure each person/group covers a few blocks so no one has to walk too much and everyone goes to different houses. Volunteers can sign up by emailing Mary at bbaboardpresident@gmail.com

Dear Portland Voter,

Click for full size print flyer

Are you confused about what the Portland City government will look like under the new City Charter?

Are you worried about how to vote using ranked choice voting?

Friendly House Community Center is hosting a City-Wide Voter Education event on September 22, from 4 to 5:30pm. 1737 NW 26th Ave., doors open at 3:30pm. The presentation will feature local experts explaining Portland’s new form of government and how to use ranked choice voting.  This event is free and open to the public.

Friendly House is producing this program in collaboration with the City of Portland. Vadim Mozyrsky (Portland Charter Review Commission member and Chair of Neighbors West Northwest), will be making opening remarks. The League of Women Voters of Portland will be at the event to register you to vote (if you are at least 16 years old), update your voter registration or confirm your voter registration.

Speakers will include:

Lory Hefele, a member of Portland’s Government Transition Advisory Committee, will explain the new city government structure, including our four new districts and the new Mayor-Council form of government.

James Eccles, an Elections Analyst with the City Auditor’s Office and the City’s lead on voter education, will explain how ranked choice voting works, including how to mark your ballot and how vote tabulation works. James will facilitate a live mock election and answer your questions about ranked choice voting.

Join us! Elections officials are getting a huge number of questions from community members about how this new voting system will work. Please tell your friends and neighbors who will be voting in Portland in November about this voter education event.
