An artist’s rendering shows the look of a street designated a greenway to enhance the safety of bike
traffic and pedestrians. The King Neighborhood Association wants feedback on a proposed greenway
from the Lloyd Neighborhood to Woodlawn.
Neighbors Consider Proposed Greenway
The King Neighborhood Asso-
ciation wants feedback from area
residents on a proposed greenway
and their input on the preferred
route. To better meet the needs of
bicyclists and pedestrians, the city
has proposed designating a street
as a greenway through the neigh-
borhood, originating in the Lloyd
Neighborhood and going north to
the Woodlawn Neighborhood.
A community meeting to dis-
cuss the issue will be held Wednes-
day, Aug. 8 from 6:30 p.m. to 8
p.m. at the Northeast Coalition
of Neighborhoods offices at 4815
N.E. Seventh Ave.
Portland Bureau of Trans-

Change to Democrat
Multnomah County com-
missioner Lori Stegmann has
changed her political party
from Republican to Democrat,
citing the racism, misogyny,
and “immoral behavior” of the
Trump administration, like sep-
arating children from their par-
ents at the border. Stegmann,
whose position is non-partisan and who is a politi-
cally moderate business woman, was born in South
Korea, orphaned there, immigrated here through
adoption, and later naturalized.

P ublisher :
Republican gubernatorial candidate Knute Buehler,
aligning with President Trump and the conservative
wing of his party, plans to vote for an initiative this
fall that would repeal Oregon’s 30-year-old sanc-
tuary state law, he said last week. Buehler is run-
ning against the Democratic incumbent, Gov. Kate
Brown who supports the law which bans local law
enforcement from using public resources to arrest
people whose only violation of the law is being in
the country illegally, which is a civil offense rather
than a crime.

A state board voted 14-to-4 Thursday to revoke
former Portland Police Chief Larry O’Dea’s police
certification for 10 years for dishonesty. City in-
vestigations found that O’Dea misled investigators
about his 2016 off-duty shooting of a friend during a
camping trip in Eastern Oregon and failed to imme-
diately act on an employee’s complaint of a hostile
work environment.
Rule Change for Landlords
A requirement for Portland landlords to register
the addresses of all rental units each year by late
2020 was unanimously agreed upon by city coun-
cil Wednesday in order to create census numbers for
rentals more accurate and to streamline communica-
tion to renters and tenants. An estimated 10,000 or
more landlords will have to file business taxes for
the first time as a result.
Knowledge of Russian Meeting
The former attorney of President Donald Trump,
Michael Cohen, reportedly said that Trump knew
about a June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower with
his staff and Russians, who offered compromising
information about Hillary Clinton. Cohen, who pre-
viously denied those claims, also said he’s willing
to testify to special counsel Robert Mueller, who’s
investigating Russian interference in the 2016 elec-
tion, an anonymous source told CNN.
Stabbing Investigation Underway
A 44-year old man who was found covered in blood
on the corner of Northeast 82nd Ave and Ne Glisan
St survived an attack from a man in Montavilla Park
early Sunday morning after the attacker complained
about his barking dog, police said. The suspect was
described as a short, skinny, white male, last seen
walking northbound on 82nd Ave away from the
park and anyone with information is encourage to
contact Portland police.
Missing Child Found
A boy with partial
hearing loss and
his small dog were
discovered safe and
sound at the 60th
Avenue Transit Sta-
tion Saturday eve-
ning after they’d
been missing for
multiple hours, ac-
cording to a statement from Portland police. The
eight-year-old Josiah had been last seen walking his
dog, named “Boy,” near Ne 2nd Ave and Clacka-
mas Street in the Lloyd Neighoborhood at around
