New Seasons Market has also made a concerted effort to reduce the amount of stormwater enter ing Portland’s sewer system from the site. A garden sits above the store’s entryway, capturing run off from the roof. After entering the garden the water is absorbed Cold, Broken or Drafty Windows? and filtered and the excess is fun- neled into several bio-sw ales (planted ditches) that ring the site. These swales also receive run off from the parking lot. The result is that no storm water run off from the property goes into Portland's combined sewer sys tem. “We have eagerly anticipated the opening of the new Arbor Lodge store,” said Chris Duffy, chair of the Arbor Lodge Neighborhood Association. "This is a wonderful addition to our neighborhood and a real asset to the entire north Port land community.” ■ k ’’ - - V T T ty p « F One Day Installs Don’t spend s10,000 - 20,000 >30,000! on windows INSTALLED Compare at $600 Call Today! ‘ Ask tor tor details details -«sk Oregon 503*289*2949 Washington 360-891*2949 Toll Free 1-866-301-2949 TOP QUALITY • NO GIMMICKS • NO HIGH PRESSURE • Welded Frame & Sash • Glass Breakage Warranty (opt.) • Full Lifetime Warranty (opt.) • DP 50 Rated-173 mph Wind • Call Us Before You Buy r ; __ ■ photo by M ark W ashington /T he P ortland O bserver The last touches are made in preparation for Wednesday's grand opening o f the New Seasons Market at North Interstate Avenue and Portland Boulevard.
