Eliot Parking Open House – Tuesday May 16 – 5-7pm

Posted on by Allan Rudwick

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) and the Eliot Parking Task Force are hosting an open house to collect feedback and input on a proposed parking permit program for the Eliot neighborhood. PBOT kicked off the project last summer and has been working with the Eliot Parking Task Force to look at parking issues in the neighborhood. Together, we have co-created a proposed parking permit program that would make it easier for residents to find parking when there are large events nearby. We want to hear from you! Stop by our in-person open house at the Matt Dishman Community Center (77 Knott St, Portland, OR 97223) in Classroom A on May 16, from 5-7 p.m. to learn more about the proposed parking permit program and give feedback. Learn more on the in-person open house webpage.

Can’t make it to the in-person open house? A virtual open house and online survey will be available on the project webpage from May 12-29. PBOT and the task force will use feedback collected at both open houses to finalize the details of the permit program.

Connect to BEH Kindergarten event Thursday 5:30pm at the BEH library

Posted on by Allan Rudwick

Have a child and need to sign them up for school? Portland Public Schools has several events scheduled to see the schools in person. Most of the Eliot Neighborhood is in the Boise-Eliot/Humboldt (BEH) School area. More information on enrolling at BEH can be found here: https://www.pps.net/domain/6389

I am in year 4 of 10 with my eldest two daughters there and I could not recommend it more highly. The teachers and administration are top notch. Principal Kaveh’s goal is to have 3 classes per grade, which would require 65 kids per grade for grades 4-5 and slightly lower numbers for the lower grades. The way to achieving this is asking more neighbors to at least consider this great school and so I am asking you to take a look. Ask to take a tour or visit on one of the scheduled connect to kindergarten dates. Filling out the paperwork on the earlier side would be a great help to retain our existing teachers amid proposed cuts by the district.

There is an event this coming Thursday where you can tour the school and get a sense of what it is like this coming Thursday 3/15 at 5:30pm. You can also get a sense of the weekly highlights from the Principal’s Message page here: https://www.pps.net/boiseeliot

Principal Kaveh is happy to answer any questions can be reached at kpaksere@pps.net
