The Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods is hosting a Portland Plan Retreat
for all residents of North and Northeast Portland neighborhoods on Saturday, April 3rd from 10am-1pm
at Curious Comedy at Vanport Plaza 5225 NE MLK Blvd (north of Alberta). This event is open to all
and we encourage organizations and businesses to send a representative!
The purpose of this retreat is to convene neighbors living within the bounds of the Northeast Coalition
of Neighborhoods (Neighborhoods include: Alameda, Boise, Concordia, Eliot, Grant Park, Humboldt,
Irvington, King, Sabin, Sullivan’s Gulch, Vernon and Woodlawn) to address local concerns and
examine how to advocate for needs as the Portland Plan process continues over the next 3 years and
beyond.
Using interactive, popular education techniques, attendees will be encouraged to voice and identify
community issues to be taken into account as the City of Portland creates the Portland Plan. Past
community plans will be presented as a helpful guide for starting this process. Topics to be addressed
include, but are not limited to, health, equity, housing, transportation, business, education, jobs, arts and
culture, parks, etc.

Two Bits:
• Screening of highlights from the documentary “Making Sense of Place – Portland: Quest for the Livable City” which documents the history of Portland’s experiment with land use planning. As part of this history, the film shines a light on one of the most fundamental challenges related to the success of our internationally-renowned planning approach:
How to revitalize communities without forcing out the people who have the greatest need for the benefits that revitalization brings?
• Discussion led by Kate Allen, Housing Policy Manager – Portland Housing Bureau; Dr. Lisa Bates, PSU College of Urban & Public Affairs; and Metro Councilor Robert Liberty to consider new ideas for how to tackle this issue.
Some Bites: Hosted Hors D’oeuvres (No- Host Bar)
(Gift) Bags: Yes….On top of a great program and Hors D’oeuvres….you will walk away with your own “Schwag Bag”. Each attendee will receive a Lincoln Institute tote bag, the “Making Sense of Place – Portland: Quest for the Livable City” DVD and a copy of CLF’s hallmark publication, the Regional Equity Atlas.
The evening is sponsored by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. “Portland: Quest for the Livable City” is the third film in the Lincoln Institute series titled Making Sense of Place, which examines the complex questions of urban planning and regional identity by exploring ways in which people participate in and experience their cities.
