Help make Sullivan’s Gulch even better. 

​SGNA is made up of your neighbors working together to improve the livability of the neighborhood. If you have a question or an issue of concern, SGNA is the place to start. Contact us on our web site or attend monthly Board meetings. 

​If you’re ready to work with your neighbors to make Sullivan’s Gulch an even nicer place to live, join an SGNA committee. You don’t need to be an SGNA Board member to serve.

Committees

Land Use and Transportation
The LUTC works with developers and builders to make new developments and better for everyone the neighborhood. The LUTC is notified of all building permits and regularly comments on plans.  In addition, the LUTC works with Portland Bureau of Transportation, the NE Broadway Business Association (NEBBA) to make Broadway and other streets safer and friendlier for pedestrians and cyclists.  The LUTC welcomes new members.  Just come to a meeting.

Events
SGNA typically sponsors several neighborhood events each year: 
  • Neighborhood clean up & recycling events
  • Yard/garage sales — The traditional neighborhood-wide yard sale is the 2nd Saturday in July.  We publicize the others that we're aware of.
  • Block Parties — Want to get to know your neighbors, SGNA can help you get a free permit to close the street by your house. SGNA has barricades and signs to loan. (In past yers we've organized a legendary neighborhood-wide block party called Gulch-O-Rama but the volunteer commitment to organize it overwhelmed recent efforts.)
  • Porchfest — this is a new event we're planning where people play music for people strolling and cycling the neighborhood. It's tentatively scheduled for the first Sunday after Labor Day)
​Communications
Along with this website, we have an email list to keep you up to date with activities and and meetings of interest.  Sign up for this list using the form on the home page. For major events we print and post yard signs throughout the neighborhood (and could use help posting them).  We are  in serious need of a webmaster to maintain and update this website (composed using Weebly so straightforward  to edit after you learn a couple things).

Safety and Livability
At the current time SGNA does not have an active committee.

Emergency Preparedness
There are several Neighborhood Emergency Team members living in the Gulch but no active group.  Our NET volunteers are active with the Irvington NET group.

Sullivan's Gulch Trail
Now that the pedestrian and bike bridge is complete at NE 7th Avenue and Lloyd Blvd. there's even more reason to restart the Sullivan's Gulch Trail, which would run along the North slope above I-84 and railroad tracks.  Click here for more information.
