Comment on Safety and Livability Committee Agenda, Nov. 13, 2012 by Mary Ann

Unfortunately our bylaws do not dictate term limits on committee chairs. This is not healthy. It does not allow for new leadership or encourage participation and can limit the committees chances of actually accomplishing anything.

It is also not fair to burden someone with the administrative and managerial tasks that come with the committee chair position. To remedy this, I think our committee should revisit and reconsider our leadership once a year. So, I’ve added to our agenda this month.

E-mail From Mrs. Davis Portland Parks and Recreations
–Kathleen; Macarre; Marlys; Tanya & Mark:

I’m writing to close the loop regarding what has occurred recently at the Couch Park play structure, and to let you know what will be happening in the near future. I would also ask for your help and support in getting this information out to your community.

Late last week Park Staff determined that one of the support posts for the NE side of the of the structure that hosts the track slide, (near the Dog Off Leash Area), had deteriorated. After reviewing the structure, we made a decision to take that play element out of service.
Currently, the track slide is locked in place with a chain, and a sign is posted stating “Structure temporarily closed for safety – repairs October 17th”, is posted directly on the structure to provide notification of the closure and pending repairs.
Next week, repairs will be made and the support posts and track slide will be removed from the playground. One monkey bar and one 4’x4’ platform will remain.
The impacted area will be fenced off October 17th, to accommodate the scheduled work.

Funds for more extensive capital maintenance are in great demand. We are currently working to identify what can be funded through this years’ allocation, and we should have a clearer picture of available resources in November. In the meantime, we will be closely monitoring the condition of the overall structure and will take steps as necessary to insure the safety of all users.

We greatly appreciate your ongoing support, and will continue to keep you informed as this work goes forward and we receive clear information regarding potential future funding. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

If the City just enforced the street tree code and required property owners to replace the ones that die we’d have a much better tree canopy

Hi Eliza,
Thanks so much for letting us know about this problem! We are talking about ways to keep bikes parked in designated parking areas – potentially with small signs and maps this year, but we’re also exploring the possibility of getting some temporary bike racks to the park for the next Swift season. Parks did recently put up a sign about the park restroom locations.

The Bike-In Movie has incentives (raffle tickets) for users who park their bikes at designated racks, so I hope that this will alleviate the parking issues for this Saturday.

Thanks again for taking the time to let us know about this issue and for being the eyes on the street for your neighborhood!
