82nd Avenue Business Association
By Nancy Chapin
Watch for opportunities to let Portland City Bureaus and Commissioners know what you’d like to see happen on 82nd Avenue. We’re hearing “new and wider sidewalks,” “paved side streets,” “affordable housing,” “accessible services,” “eating, drinking and grocery establishments owned by local and diverse community members,” “better nighttime street and sidewalk lighting” and “paved, pleasant nearby bicycle greenways and bicycle parking on 82nd Avenue.” Let the City know what you’d like to see!
We still have roses for new gardens. Contact us at 82ndaveba@gmail.com if you have an available garden spot on 82nd Ave. or if you’d like to become more involved in the Business Association.
