Multnomah Village green
street project will conclude
by holiday season
You have to admit: the merchants
of Multnomah Village have seen it
all and still have a great attitude in
Freeman Water Tank
(Continued from Page 3)
never had a for sale sign.
“Commissioner Nick Fish [of the
Water Bureau] has acknowledged
that the process to sell the Freeman
Water Tank property was flawed
and he is going to correct it for other
tank properties, but his work should
not end there,” said McCarty.
“We are appealing to him as the
Commissioner in charge of the
Water Bureau to right the wrong
that occurred under his predecessor
and keep the Freeman Water Tank
property as open green space.” Mc-
Carthy continued.
According to McCarthy, “The
claim that doing the right thing for
our neighborhood would be a risk to
the ratepayers is hugely exaggerat-
the end.
The October typhoon blew down
some hanging flower pots —no one
was hurt— but the new bio-swales
were planted. The new parking lot
is done, fully landscaped, but the
trees in the heart of the village are
still on their way.
According to Jennifer Devlin,
with Portland Bureau of Environ-
mental Services, the bioswales
were planted in early October
and the trees should be in by mid-
November, except Renner’s which
has theirs already.
But, according to Dylan Rivera
from the Bureau of Transportation,
repaving of Capitol Highway is no
longer scheduled down the main
street. Both the city’s fiscal year
2013-14 and 2014-15 budgets do not
include funds for repaving.
However, local merchants were
not happy with the t-hash park-
ing marks on the south side of the
street so they were removed by
PBOT. What happened next was
ed. The actual cost to any individual
ratepayer would be miniscule under
any conceivable scenario.”
Solomon has lived across the
street from the property for 13
years and still considers himself a
newcomer. “I’m not an activist,” he
said. “I’m really just a neighbor and
citizen and I enjoy the park and its
nature.”
Solomon has helped to finance
and distribute yard signs for neigh-
bors who agree with his stance
to join the effort. The signs read:
“Keep Public Land Public: Save the
Freeman Natural Area.” Neighbors
may obtain a sign by contacting
Solomon by email: jeremy@inkwa-
terpress.com.

not expected.
After PBOT sandblasted the strip-
ing marks off the payment, the old
angled stripes reappeared. Visitors
not familiar with parking etiquette
but following parking guidelines,
decided to angle park on the south
side of the street as well.
TriMet buses squeezed through
delicately but too tight for safety.
Several merchants scrambled to
reach as many businesses as pos-
sible, trying to find the rightful own-
ers. Eventually, they were found and
the parking chaos was abated.
The angled parking stripes were
blackened over and everything
hopefully will settle down now.
“Just in time for the holiday shop-
ping season!” exclaimed Michele
Cassinelli, owner of Village Beads.
Cassinelli recently ended a sev-
en-year stint as co-chair of the
Multnomah Village Business As-
sociation along with Thinker Toys
owner Joan Steinbach.
