Last week, Portland announced a new set of measures aimed at keeping vehicles out of Monument Square while also beautifying the space. Portland’s Parks, Recreation and Facilities staff has installed new street furniture and giant planters filled with flowers throughout the core of the square. The additions are lovely and will make it much harder for cars to negotiate the space. Also, the city has promised to start actually ticketing vehicles that park in the brick-lined square.
