In light of the resurgence of Covid cases, the BNA Summer Picnic has been cancelled this year.
We are sad not to see and hear from neighbors in person at the park this year but our safety is determined by getting vaccinated, wearing masks, and keeping a safe distance from one another when in large groups. We will have to cancel the picnic for now and reschedule at a later time. Our favorite "Tilly Truck" by Heights Cream will still be coming through the neighborhood that day. Listen for the sounds of summer and plan to visit with neighbors, with an ice cream, one-on-one instead. Saturday, Sept. 11 - Ice Cream "Tilly Truck" visits Bridgeton Road starting at 6:00pm http://www.livebridgeton Saturday, Sept. 11 - Ice Cream "Tilly Truck" visits Bridgeton Road starting at 6:00pm

Good news for our neighborhood from outgoing Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz. Columbia Children’s Arboretum is getting more funding! Look out for another planning meeting in mid-September to weigh in on future improvements there.
Portland Parks & Recreation will again engage the public in mid-September around selecting the final project concept; with design and permitting processes afterwards. Construction may begin in 2019 but a firm schedule is yet to be determined. Columbia Children’s Arboretum is a regional destination as well as within half a mile of nearly 400 homes. Columbia Children’s Arboretum, 10040 NE 6th Drive.In addition to $1.135 million in SDCs previously allocated toward Columbia Children’s Arboretum trails and access in 2016, Fritz has earmarked an additional $750,000 in SDCs. Funding from SDCs towards this project now totals $1,885,000. The nearly-29-acre Columbia Children’s Arboretum is one of only two in the PP&R system, the other being Hoyt Arboretum. The public weighed in on project options via the Bureau’s community engagement outreach; now the project moves to the processes around design, costs and feasibility.Some improvements may include:
https://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/76674  The annual Policymakers Ride highlighted the Marine Drive segment of the 40 Mile Loop on Friday July 27th. The Peloton was hosted in Bridgeton by neighbors and Bridgeton Neighborhood Association Board members. Over 100 leading policy makers saw first hand the potential and the problems in completing the 40 Mile Loop between Troutdale and Kelley Point Park. The riders heard a kickoff speech from Representative Earl Blumenauer – one of the first political supporters of the 40 Mile Loop. Incoming Metro President Lynn Peterson spoke to the Peloton during a lunch break at MCDD. For some of the policymakers, this was their first visit to Bridgeton. We answered questions about our neighborhood and highlighted the positive impact finishing the Bridgeton Promenade will have on our neighborhood and the wider biking community. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success! |
