<br />
The newsletter is "unofficial" and not part of the Bridgeton Neighborhood Association.<br />
<br />
There are infrequent general neighborhood meetings, and NextDoor Bridgeton, of late has been populated by posts from city agencies and threads that people in other neighborhoods tend to latch onto and they go way off topic and there's also a policy about advertising what one does.<br />
<br />
I think that something that is neighborly, more frequent, and allowed us to say what we do might work.<br />
<br />
At this point, since it's just the beginning, let's see how it goes and how it works.<br />
<br />
I hope that neighbors from all parts of the area will join - that means Marine Drive, the apartments and condos at the I-5 end, and all of Roth Estates.<br />
<br />
If you have any interest in being involved in this put your name on the list for the newsletter by filling out the form below.<br />
<br />
If I've set it up correctly you will get a response with a survey link and you can offer your own opinion about what may be in the newsletter and how much you're willing to help.<br />

Where it says for pay, that means what you do for pay</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">That is about to change.</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Way back when I started the blog, I did have some historical content and much more specific information about the neighborhood. I got away from that because there was a website for the neighborhood and other postings and I thought this blog would be duplicative. It's not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be posting more about all parts of the neighborhood. To do that I will need information from people at both ends of the road and levee and from people who live on Marine Drive.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also plan to do a newsletter. That will happen later in the fall. Before that starts, I want information from you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So - soon I am going to add a link to a questionnaire so that you can let me know what you want to see in that newsletter and also let me know if you might be interested in sending in information for it. </span><br />

As many readers may know, for the last two years MCDD has been working with community, environmental, business and government partners to ensure to that our levee system meets federal standards and provides flood protection for our community.<br />On July 17th partners formalized their commitment to this effort through the signing of a Declaration of Cooperation. The Declaration, though not legally binding, articulates the program's goals and principles, and documents how the partners will work together to ensure that our community continues to protect the important economic, social, and ecological benefits provided by our levee system. <a href="http://mcdd.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce56e233db934468ed3728a08&id=40d42f7303&e=8eca599a15" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #6dc6dd; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Multnomah County Commissioner Jules Bailey</a>captured the significance of the event in his remarks,</span></span></div>

MCDD is proud to be hosting the Columbia Slough Regatta on Sunday Aug 2. In addition to providing access to the slough and free kayak or canoe rentals, this year's event will have a live band, food vendors, and tours of the levee and pump station. MCDD values its partnership with the Columbia Slough Watershed Council and we are very happy to help introduce paddlers to the importance of conservation on the slough as well as the important public safety and flood protection work of the Districts.</div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Vanport Wetlands draw down</span></span><br />
While MCDD's primary responsibility is drainage and flood protection we examine every opportunity to work with our partners and deliver on our mission to protect the environment too. One example of this is our partnership with the Port of Portland to manage water levels in the Vanport Wetlands. By carefully managing water levels in the wetlands, MCDD has helped create habitat used by over 100 species of birds, This time of year, MCDD is drawing down the water level in the wetlands by about 6 inches every two weeks. This will result in some mudflats by August, to support migratory shorebirds. For more information visit the <a href="http://mcdd.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ce56e233db934468ed3728a08&id=5ccfff96a5&e=8eca599a15" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #606060; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Port of Portland</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Levee maintenance update</span><br />
MCDD field crews continue to progress the through the annual schedule of levee maintenance. This includes mowing the grass on the levees and removing harmful vegetation. This time of year most of the maintenance in PEN 1 and PEN 2 is complete (save some areas that must be cleared manually). Mowing work will continue west to east through MCDD and into SDIC over the next month. As you can see in the picture below, MCDD also got a new sign to alert auto traffic and trail users to our maintenance work.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Tree and stump removal near the airport</span><br />
If you've noticed a lot of trees down, stumps, or work crews along Marine Dr. just east of the Airport recently, you've seen MCDD at work. The trees in this area did not comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations. MCDD worked with the Port of Portland to have them removed. To ensure that the Marine Dr. levee was unharmed, the stumps and roots had to be carefully removed so that decaying roots wouldn't damage the levee.<br />

Emergency Preparedness</h2>
<br />
Throughout July, MCDD staff have been working hard to improve the flood emergency action plan for the Districts. Two major improvements were accomplished this month include:<br />
<ul style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 40px;">
<li>Drafting levee patrol areas to guide inspections during a high water event</li>
<li>Clarifying triggers for action and how they coincide with the <a href="http://mcdd.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce56e233db934468ed3728a08&id=88a4d172c0&e=8eca599a15" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #606060; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">National Weather Service’s flood categories</a>. (An example “trigger for action”: water elevation at Vancouver Gage reads X feet so Y response must be initiated.)</li>
</ul>
MCDD personnel will continue to work on the flood emergency action plan throughout the summer.<br />
Though we are currently not experience flood conditions or high flood risk, we are experiencing extreme heat this summer. Access Multnomah County’s webpage, "<a href="http://mcdd.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ce56e233db934468ed3728a08&id=6365de2358&e=8eca599a15" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #606060; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Help for when it's hot</a>" to learn about how to stay safe and cool in this weather. Cooling center hours and locations and more can be found on this site.<br />

<br />
Instead we all gather up and down the street and sell each other all our "what we don't wants."<br />
<br />
If you're on Bridgeton set up your sale and visit your neighbors to buy their stuff.<br />
<br />
If you're not on Bridgeton, come and see our neighborhood and buy stuff...<br />

<br />
The Columbia Slough Regatta is a kayak and canoe event for the whole family!<br />
We have a few spots left; register today!<br />
<br />
The Columbia Slough Regatta is great for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Despite the name, the Columbia Slough Regatta is not actually a race, more of a leisurely wildlife-watching group paddle.<br />
<br />
We provide the boats or you are welcome to bring your own.<br />
<br />
A donation of $8.00/person or $25/family is requested.<span style="font-weight: 700;"> Pre-registration required.</span><a href="https://cts.vrmailer1.com/click?sk=auaMB2JgMjBKocdNTAPMF5Dfgvy0NjkTQVxXOUAiLnA4=/aHR0cDovL2NvbHVtYmlhc2xvdWdoLm9yZy9pbmRleC5waHAvYWN0aXZpdGllc19ldmVudHMvY29sdW1iaWFfc2xvdWdoX3JlZ2F0dGFfaW5mb3JtYXRpb24v/4ooVV7MuNFFGPlCbLMCnwQ==&merge_field_type=(?x-mi:(?%3C=href=)[%5Cs]*[%27%22](?%3Curl%3E[%5E%7B%27%22].+?)[%27%22])" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #196ad4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Online</a> or (503) 281-1132</div>

Get Involved. Join the BNA Board and Keep Bridgeton a Thriving & Unique Neighborhood</b></a><br />
The Bridgeton Neighborhood Association is vital to addressing the issues
affecting the livability and quality of life in our unique
neighborhood. The BNA is a community organization working on the issues
and needs of our neighborhood: the environment, land use, safety and
security. We're looking new board members who want to make a
difference and build Bridgeton's capacity to take action to move forward
our priorities.<br />
<br />
Being a board member doesn't have to be a huge time commitment.
Contribute your energies on projects that match your skills and
interests and help make the decisions that make Portland's smallest
neighborhood the city's best kept secret.<br />

Lynn Dorman, Ph.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16692023349882870656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22113216.post-16707895842558295092013-10-11T16:32:00.003-07:002013-10-11T16:32:50.862-07:00Herbicide Application<span style="font-size: large;">Herbicide was to be sprayed in September, then it changed to this week, and now it is changed to next week.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At this point, all I can suggest is to watch for the little flags the Drainage District is "supposed" to put out 48 hours ahead of the spraying - <b>OR</b> - better suggestion is to keep an eye and ear on the levee and you can hear or see them coming near you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I, for one, do not trust that this stuff is harmless to animals and will keep my cats in while it is being sprayed and for 2 days following.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And I will not walk my puppy in any areas that have been sprayed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe in preventive maneuvers when it comes to my pets.</span><br />
