PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • March 11, 2023
The new Port Property development in Bayside will be a positive change for our neighborhood, and I encourage my fellow residents to speak out in support to ensure it is successfully completed. It is a shame that so much of the land in our neighborhood is filled with surface parking lots. They waste space that could be filled by friends or your favorite shop, they encourage people from outside to drive in and park increasing traffic, and they are just plain unpleasant to walk by. There are concerns about affordability, but the project will be adding about 200 units of affordable housing. There are concerns about traffic, but building a mixed-use walkable neighborhood is the single best thing we can do to reduce car trips. There are concerns about green space, but this project will not remove any green space. ~ Todd Morse, Portland
