Bridgeton Trail
Bridgeton Trail Meeting - Discuss Revised Trail Designs
Wednesday, April 18th
7:00 pm
Columbia High School Gymnasium
716 NE Marine Drive
In February, community members gathered to review concepts for the Bridgeton segment of the Marine Drive Trail and share their vision for developing it as a neighborhood promenade. Everyone agreed that the design of this segment should reflect the character of the Bridgeton neighborhood - friendly, eclectic, and altogether unique.
Since then, the project's landscape architect consultant, Bo Nevue of Nevue Ngan, has examined the trail in more depth and toured the area with neighborhood representatives. At this meeting, Bo will share his images of the neighborhood and describe how he has attempted to capture its spirit in the trail design. We will also talk about options to reduce bike/pedestrian conflicts.
Join us on the 18th to finalize the concept and pave the way for the future Bridgeton Trail.

Spring has sprung!
Methinks winter is behind us - but I am saying that while knocking on wood and crossing my fingers and toes : - )
At the last general neighborhood meeting, we formed a recycle committee which the 4 of us decided was better called a recycle party...because parties are more fun than "meetings."
We hope to have some info on neighborhood recycle parties to pass out at the Spring clean up on April 21.
If you want to join the recycle party - let us know...you can fill out the form to your left

More About Bad Pet Food
Of late, there is more news about the bad pet food so I am posting the latest info. Hope all your pets are well.
A few additional foods are being recalled; lawsuits are springing up and people are worried with good reason.
It seems that the wheat gluten in the dog food contained melamine...used in making plastic!
An aside here - plastic is becoming more well known as a major source of "much badness." In San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors approved legislation this past Tuesday "to outlaw plastic checkout bags at large supermarkets in about six months and large chain pharmacies in about a year."
Full article HERE.
HERE is a CNN article about recent recalls and if you are in Oregon, HERE is a link to a local article that includes Oregon and FDA links for more information.
Some news sources suggest checking your dry pet food for what gluten - I just did and feel a lot better - none there!
