Happy March!
This is a final reminder about the March 6th City Council meeting. We'd love you to attend if you can.
On that date, the Council will discuss a proposed gas leaf blower ordinance in a 90-minute meeting from 2:00 to 3:30 pm. While the actual vote will take place at a “second reading” - typically a week or two later – this is another chance to rally in support of the ordinance.
We’re expecting a joyful crowd of supporters at this meeting, with everyone wearing a blue top. Any shirt, sweater, or jacket in some shade of blue will work. Please come join us!
-
When: Wednesday, March 6th, 2:00-3:30 pm.
-
Where: 2nd floor of the “1900 Building,” 1900 SW 4th Ave (on PSU’s campus next to the engineering building) - not City Hall. Directions and parking information are available at https://www.portland.gov/council-clerk/1900-building.
You are also invited to join us after the meeting at a venue within walking distance for a celebratory toast.
If you have already submitted written testimony, thank you! If not, directions are here. Feel free to send a repeat of any earlier message you’ve sent or send something fresh. This link provides directions to sign up for in-person or virtual testimony.
Quiet Clean PDX is grateful for your support. We applaud the city and county for their partnership in developing this policy and its critical ancillaries: enforcement, public education, and an incentives program, and hope it serves as a model for other cities in Oregon and across the country.
