The Sullivan’s Gulch Neighborhood Association works to make our neighborhood more livable through various committees, information and referral.

PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT BETWEEN 16th & 21st FAILS
During March residents living on certain streets in the west end of Sullivan's Gulch (see map below) were surveyed about their interest in petitioning the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to create a permit parking district there in order to reduce weekday commuter parking in the area. The proposed permit district would have restricted weekday parking to 2 hours without a permit. Permits would only have been available to residents of the area and would have cost $75 per year. Residents could also have purchased guest permits for visitors. The cost of the permits would help pay for increased enforcement. In spite of our canvassing efforts, we did not get back nearly enough petitions to meet the PBOT’s required 60% response rate. This means that parking in the area will continue as it has been. If you’re curious, here are the results: Minimum responses needed: 160 Responses received: 71 = 44% Voting: Yes: 50 No: 18 Don’t Care: 3 Not surprisingly, the strongest support came from the area closer to Lloyd District. At the opposite end of the proposed zone, we learned that the area closer to Halsey & 21st faces nighttime parking problems, because of several large apartment buildings with no parking, which the permit zone would not help with. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond. - Mary Beth Christopher & Dave Brook
