Here is what people are saying about the idea to increase housing options in Portland’s Inner Eastside. We want to hear from you too! Take a short questionnaire to share your ideas. The Inner Eastside Zoning Project is rethinking zoning in Portland’s Inner Eastside to create more options for housing and small businesses. The goal is to make this desirable area more accessible to people with a broad range of incomes. We haven’t drafted any plans yet – we want to hear from you first! Responses that we receive from the questionnaire will inform future zoning concepts. Take the questionnaire by November 1 and learn about upcoming events: Portland.gov/Inner-Eastside ----- Esto es lo que nos está diciendo la gente sobre la idea de ampliar las opciones de vivienda en el Inner Eastside de Portland. ¡También queremos escuchar su opinión!

For the first time in a while, we've got rain on the way! The first rain can bring oil and grease to the surface, so roads can be extra slippery. However you're traveling, slow down.

What are some things that come to mind when you think of Portland’s Inner Eastside? Ideas might include walkability, close access to everyday needs, and charming neighborhoods. Expensive homes might also come to mind. What if more people with a broader range of incomes could live in this area? That’s the question that the Inner Eastside Zoning Project is exploring. A series of past land use decisions has resulted in the predominance of single-dwelling zoning in the Inner Eastside. This plan provides an opportunity to rethink housing patterns in this area and allow for a greater variety of houses to be built. The goal is to make this desirable area more accessible to all. The project is just kicking off! Learn more on the project’s website and sign up for updates. Portland.gov/Inner-Eastside #Portland #Housing
