From Sabin Community Association:
The triangle at 15th & Prescott needs help. Currently it’s a paved space with no character or charm that routinely gets misused and tagged with graffiti. Nearby residents and businesses would like to see that change. So the Sabin Community association is soliciting ideas and raising funds to make the space more welcoming to all community members.
Please join us on Saturday March 12th from 2 to 4 pm on the corner of 15th and Prescott for a charrette on the Sabin Triangle. After we walk the site, we will head to Grain & Gristle for a comfortable place to share ideas. Volunteer architects will be on hand to guide the process. We hope to do something innovative to let people know that they are in Sabin and that this is a great community. Call Rosemarie Cordello with questions (503) 493-9434.

Portlanders have an opportunity to shape the City’s strategies for the future at the upcoming Portland Plan Fairs.
The Portland Plan Fairs will offer residents a range of experiences and opportunities to learn about and comment on three integrated strategies and an Equity Initiative. In addition to breakout discussions for each one, the fairs will feature local food, music, booths, presentations, and community exhibitors. Childcare will be provided at all locations.
The Portland Plan is a long-range plan for the city’s future, ensuring that Portland is a thriving and sustainable city, with health and opportunity for all. Portlanders say that equity, living wage jobs, student success and a healthy environment are their top concerns. In response to this community input, the Portland Plan combines these priorities with extensive research and national best practices to develop an overarching Equity Initiative and three draft strategies for Portland’s future:
1. Education
2. Economic Prosperity and Affordability
3. Healthy Connected Neighborhoods

Community public engagement is especially critical at this point in the Portland Plan process. After the fairs and follow-up outreach efforts, the draft strategies will be revised based on input from the community, Portland Plan partners and national experts. These revised strategies will be the core of the City’s strategic plan, which will be available for comment and review this summer and will be presented to the Planning and Sustainability Commission this fall.
