The Land Use & Transportation Committee of the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods tell us:
As you are well aware, demolitions and related implications have been a very hot topic in our neighborhoods for some time. Here’s a fairly recent article by Jim Redden that puts the issues and the stakeholders involved into context:

The NECN-LUTC is devoting time to some aspects of this topic at its Wednesday, October 22 meeting (7-8:30 pm).
Our speaker will be Claire Carder, community participant on the City’s DRAC (Development Review Advisory Committee). Claire would like to share information and get NECN neighbors’ input on proposed demolition delays and neighborhood notification.
[NECN-LUTC meets at the offices of NECN, 4815 NE 7th Avenue, in the King Facility Building.]
In the meantime, some of you may have already received the petition that is circulating regarding demolitions in Portland Neighborhoods.
In the words of the organizing group of neighbors, which is calling itself United Neighborhoods for Reform, “this online petition focuses on short-term fixes needed immediately to protect the character and integrity of Portland neighborhoods.”
