STREET SEATS! 

Innovative uses for on-street parking spaces

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has released the 2014 Street Seat program guidelines and application requirements.
Applications for new locations and permit renewals for existing locations will be accepted through March 1, 2014.  Street Seat PhotoStreet Seats is a PBOT program that allows businesses and non-profit organizations to convert on-street parking to other public uses, such as cafe seating or a mini-park. Based on similar programs in San Francisco and New York City, the program enlivens the streetscape by creating spaces for Portlanders to enjoy seating and a meal or a drink outdoors, which in turn enhances street vitality and benefits local businesses.
For inspirational photos please click through photo galleries of Portland and San Francisco installations.

HELP WANTED!
Hello everybody,

Do you want to help get the word out about neighborhood events?

Interested in graphics (posters, events, etc.), writing or newsletter* creation? 

After 4 years of being the Mt. Scott-Arleta's communications lead I am stepping away in the coming year, so I'd really love to have someone pick up the slack. Anyone, anyone? It's time for me to focus on my emerging design business and I will still be on the MSA and Foster Area Business Association Boards.
Email me or give me a call! Terah Beth |  terahbeth@tbbvdesign.com  |  971.404.9864

*Yes, i realize our newsletters have a lot of room for improvement!

-----------------------------------------------

 Thanks for reading! 
Much neighborhood love,
Terah Beth

Newsletter Story Submission Deadline

Image
Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association Newsletter Story Submission We want to know what's going on in your neighborhood. Do you have news to share? Would you like to see it published on the blog and in our newsletter? Here's how to get the word out... Deadline : Feb 26th (but sooner the better!) EMAIL story/announcement to this email note: Ideally we'd like to include more information in the newsletter, versus a bunch of presentations at our meeting. We hope that this will clear up some room in our agenda, so we can focus on 'getting things done' and getting to know one another on a personal level. (More people receive the newsletter than come to the neighborhood meetings.) Of course we will still have announcements and presentations, but hopefully we can streamline the effort with using the newsletter as an additional tool. And please (!) let me know if you are interested in helping with this communications effort. Thanks, Terah Beth  | visit Mt. Scott...
