Can Last Thursday Be Saved from Itself?

What do you think about Last Thursday?

The Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods is canvassing neighborhoods along Alberta and soliciting input from neighbors affected by Last Thursday. As the impact grows each year, now over 10,000 attendees on summer months, any benefit to the local economy needs to be weighed against the noise, litter, parking issues and public drunkeness. Is this an event that the neighborhoods want? Should Last Thursday continue to be regulated differently than other large events in the city? Are there ways to improve Last Thursday? The City of Portland wants to know.
