One Less Item of Street Clutter
The pay phone in front of Blue Moon has not functioned in years. I was happy that I will no longer be cleaning tags off of it. I took this image of it being removed yesterday.

December Parks Report
The three main issues this month: 1) the playground at Couch Park is deteriorating 2) there was a stabbing of a homeless individual (adjacent to or within the park boundaries) when the police arrived to take the report the victim was not in the park the report locates the incident at NW 20th and Glisan 3) the park bond/levy 2013
History of Couch park and the current crisis:
In 1973 work began to redesign Couch Park from a flat school yard. The NWDA and the MLC school were active participants in making the park into a community gem. The NWDA was concerned by the closure of the Couch School and the failure to restore the Brown House. The federal funds earmarked for restoring the Brown House were shifted in to the property to create an active public park with three art installations. The school transferred responsibility for the upkeep of the park, the pool and the gym to PP&R in order to best maintain these assets for adjoining community.
The landscape architect Mike Whitemore was inspired by Peope’s Park in Berkeley California and as a young graduate of architectural school volunteered on the project to build his resume in the 1970s. He was also the Land Use chair of the NWDA for many years. The playground structure was conceived as a way to honor the lost Brown House and for the pitch of the playground roof line to mirror the pitch of the roof of the William Temple House.
The entire Couch Park property is deeded to Portland Public Schools yet the park and and any repairs to playground are the responsibility of Portland Parks and Recreation. Right now repairs and equipment within the playground is in a critical boarding on unsafe condition
The S&L teams efforts to keep the bathrooms open at Wallace Park during the Swift WAtch Season was well received. We need to secure this increased access going forward.
