Williams Reaches Substantial Completion
Just before the ball dropped to celebrate the new year, Portland Bureau of Transportation announced that the “N Williams Safety Project reached substantial completion”. One of the major tasks completed in December was installing the permanent light at Cook. There is still some minor work to do on Williams and the Rodney Bikeway portion has yet to begun. It is nice for travelers along the corridor, whether in a car, on a bike or on foot, to see construction wind down and to take advantage of the improvements.
Award Winning Park
Back in July Dawson Park opened for the first time after it was closed in October 2013 for a $2.7 million makeover. After 10 months of construction, on July 9th, the park was revealed to the neighborhood at a community concert featuring Karen Lovely. The renovations include modifications to the gazebo to make it more accessible and usable for concerts, a new walkway around the park, a new entry on Williams, a new water feature complete with historic interpretive boulders, a much improved playground area and more.

The Board Officer positions for Vice Chair and Newspaper Editor still need to be filled. The Vice Chair would probably be responsible for running two meetings during the year and help find people who would present interesting topics and pressing issues to the Eliot Neighborhood Association.

Walking in the street for years
Over the past 3 years, a construction project at the corner of NE Monroe and NE Martin Luther King, Junior Boulevard (MLK) has blocked the sidewalk on the west side of MLK. This has created a situation where people can either walk 1200 feet out of direction by going to Rodney and back, cross MLK twice or just walk in the road.
Website Change
Over the next few days you may notice some changes to eliotneighborhood.org as we kick the tires on a new “Look and Feel” of the site. Don’t worry, the great content you have come to love will still be here, and for the most part will be in the same place. Can’t find something? Have a thought on the design? Feel free to comment!

NECN Update—Joan Ivan
Joan spoke about the restructuring of NECN. They are the representative of so many people in so many different neighborhoods who want very different things and deciding what they want to accomplish is important. Meetings have become more divisive than healthy lately, especially with all the major the changes the NECN neighborhoods are experiencing.
Joe Entler moves that Paul Van Orden is our second Eliot Representative to NECN (Joan Ivan is the other and we are permitted two).
Joan Ivan seconds
All in Favor—motion passes unanimously
