8 • The Southwest Portland Post October 2009 City offers subsidy, installs speed bumps along Capitol Hill Road We’d like to meet you! Please join us for the RIVERDALE HIGH School OPEN HOUSE Sunday, October 25th, 2009 Trucks maneuver over one of the new speed bumps on Capitol Hill Road near Custer Park (Post photo by Don Snedecor) By Lee Perlman and Don Snedecor On September 25, City of Portland crews installed a series of 11 speed bumps along the length of Capitol Hill Road between Barbur and Bertha boulevards. This is the culmination of three years of work by volunteers. Last month Portland Bureau of Trans- portation officials told Mellani Calvin, Lisa Broten and other volunteers as- sociated with the ad-hoc organization CHR-SOS that at the urging of Mayor Sam Adams they had located $16,000 for the Southwest Capitol Hill Road traffic calming project. Mayor Adams attended a National Night Out party held at Custer Park in August as a fundraiser for the ad-hoc organization, CHR-SOS, and seemed to be impressed, said Calvin. “We know this would not have been possible without your support,” wrote Calvin and Broten in a thank you letter to Adams. “The project was completed in one very long day and we are already seeing definite reductions of speeds.” The funds represent 60 percent of the cost of the project. In the past, the City routinely offered such subsidies for qualifying community-generated proj- ects such as this. It was discontinued due to budget shortfalls. Still $2200 short of the total needed, Calvin said CHR-SOS would continue with fundraising efforts, collecting voluntary assessments from adjacent property owners and holding a silent auction in December. A celebratory picnic is being planned for sometime this fall.
