Sellwood Riverfront Park Concerts
Jul 12th, 2010 by Jim
For the next four Monday nights beginning tonight, July 12th, there will be our annual neighborhood park concerts that we all so look forward to each summer.
These shows are part of Portland Parks & Recreation’s Summer Concerts in the Park series that happen in parks all over Portland. Come down to Sellwood Riverfront Park for some great music with friends and neighbors in a beautiful setting on the river.
There will be food vendors, a secure bike corral, and overflow parking again this year at Oaks Amusement Park. This year there will also be a community information night on July 26th.
See you there!

Board Vacancy
Jun 19th, 2010 by mat
There is a vacancy on the SMILE Board which came up shortly after the election in May when Tamara Rubin resigned from the Board. We plan to hold a special election at the General Meeting to be held on July 7, 2010 to fill that seat. The term of the seat will run through May, 2011.
If you would like to be nominated for the SMILE Board, please give me a call or send me an email and I will be glad to put your name on the ballot.
One potential problem might be getting a quorum for the July meeting (20 SMILE members). If everybody could bring a friend or two, we should be able to get the election done.
If you have any questions, give me a call any time.

Tacoma Street Light Rail Station Design meeting, June 3, 2010
May 15th, 2010 by mat
On June 3rd from 7 – 9 pm, the Johnson Creek Watershed Council will host a community design charette for the Tacoma Street Light Rail station, a stop on the Portland –Milwaukie Light Rail line opening in 2015. The charette will focus on integrating wildlife habitat, sustainable stormwatermanagement, and environmental education features into the design of the Tacoma Street Station. The Tacoma station will be located just south of Johnson Creek; it will provide a unique opportunity to feature and enhance the hydrology and ecology of Johnson Creek.
Any one is welcome to attend the charette. You do not need special skills or knowledge to attend. All you need is enthusiasm and a desire to help design a light rail station that enhances nearby Johnson Creek.
The charette will be held at the Watershed Council office at 1900 SE Milport Road, Milwaukie, 97222 (enter in back of the building, accessible from the parking lot off of McBrod Avenue). Please RSVP to Matt Clark – matt@jcwc.org … or 503/652-7477.
Water Main Installation Notice
May 6th, 2010 by mat
Good afternoon,
We have a project that is scheduled to begin in your neighborhood association in about six weeks. It will be on SE 16th between Flavel and Duke. There will be 1800 feet of new 8″ main installed to replace the existing 2″ which will improve reliability and add water pressure. In addition, several new hydrants will be installed. Once the dates are confirmed, we will distribute door hangers and talk to the neighbors and businesses along the route, describing the project and its duration. I will be available by phone to answer questions and help with any access issues neighbors may experience during the construction.
Please let me know if you have any questions at this time or during the two month project. Thank you.
