We are so back! Strong Towns PDX members are doers that will roll up their sleeves to fix the issues they see on their own blocks. Hear from a member on why this crosswalk was important to mark:

When you take the base zones and mix in overlay districts, Portland ends up with 779 distinct zones.

Also PBOT’s own survey data showed that people like and want this plaza. How was this decision made?

One of the core insights of Strong Towns is that streets are a platform for building community wealth. Real, measurable, financial wealth. This plaza treatment, while not perfect, was a potent source of economic development for the city with very little investment required

Strong Towns PDX will host a social afternoon get together on May 29th. Get food at a local business, eat in the plaza, and enjoy coffee or beverages while making new friends!

*Alcoholic drinks must be kept at adjacent Gorges Beer or Moonshot Tavern.*

Join us to work on your Strong Towns elevator pitch!

We'll work together in small groups to craft how we pitch the Strong Towns approach and talk about our group.

Our annual reminder that we don’t need as much pavement as we’re paying for! Let’s make our streets safer and close the gap on the budget deficit by making narrow streets permanent.

Excited to see you all
next Tuesday!
