Green Streets inLaurelhurstBy: City of Portland

Green stormwatermanagement is coming tothe Laurelhurst

Neighborhood.You have probably seenthe construction going onaround Laurelhurst School.The City of Portland is constructing greenstreet facilities in Laurelhurst and surroundingneighborhoods as part of a citywide expansion ofgreen stormwater management infrastructure.

A green street is a vegetated curb extension orstreetside planter that collects stormwater runoff fromstreets. Vegetation and soil filter pollutants as the

water soaks into the ground.

Sanitary, storm and combined sewer pipes aremainstays of Portlands wastewater and stormwatermanagement system. But facilities like green streetsand rain gardens complement the traditional pipesystem. They manage stormwater at its sourceto reduce volume, help reduce sewer backups in

basements, protect water quality in rivers andstreams, and replenish groundwater supplies.

From The EditorBy: Jennifer Lewis, LNA Newsletter Editor

Its hard to believe that it is now 2012. We arefortunate to live in Laurelhurst and the City ofPortland. When Laurelhurst was first built, the

City knew even then the importance of parks and green spaces. The Citycontinues to work towards making Portland sustainable and green. You willlearn a bit more about their Green Streets program in this edition.

As we ushered in the New Year, many of us made resolutions we will struggleto keep. Mine include more adventures with my children (3 and 5) andgetting more exercise. With it being cold and the rain threatening to start inearnest, its hard to get my kids outside. But a short walk is usually withinmy coaxing abilities. There is an easy 3.5 miles walk through Laurelhurstthat Metro has put together highlighting historic homes and heritage trees.In fact, the Zelcova is in my back yard. If you make it out to try this walk,stop by and say hi. I always enjoy getting to know more of my neighbors.

Thank you to all of you who have written to me to let me know what youwould like to see in this newsletter. Your comments and support areinvaluable. The Laurelhurst Neighborhood Association couldnt exist

without your support. If you are interested in becoming more involved,we need your help! Kristine Akins has done an amazing job coordinatingthe Garage Sale the past few years, and has streamlined the process. Sheis starting a new business, and will not be able to serve as the Garage SaleCoordinator this year. If you would be willing to help continue this greattradition that helps to preserve the Laurelhurst Arches, please let me know.

You may also want to help by coordinating the 4th of July Parade. AlisonKalmanson, who has coordinated it for the past few years has moved outof the neighborhood. If you would be interested in helpng with this familyevent, please contact me.

I hope that you have a fantastic year in 2012!

The Creation o fLaurelhurstIn 1850, Congress passed the Donation Land Act,encouraging folks to move west. If a man was mar-ried he could claim 320 acres, and an unmarried mancould claim 160 acres. To gain the deed to the land, asettler would have to live on and maintain the land forfour years.

The area that became Laurelhurst was comprised oftwo claims. In 1869, William S. Ladd began to ac-cumulate land in this area. One purchase was of theHazelwood Farm in 1869. He accumulated 486 acresand created a purebred Jersey cattle farm, theHazelfern Farm.

Ladd passed away in 1893, and in 1909 the Laurel-

hurst Company. The Laurelhurst Company had previ-ously developed a neighborhood named Laurelhurstin Seattle, and stuck with the name that had been suc-cessful for them. The neighborhood was advertisedas The Addition With Character. Individuals could

buy one to six lots each, with a plan for less than 1000homes across the 442 acres. Today there are morethan 1800 homes in Laurelhurst.

Laurelhurst park and neighborhood developed to-gether. Soon after construction began on homes,the City of Portland purchased 31 acres to construct

Laurelhurst Park with a natural landscaping ap-proach. In 1912 Emanuel Mische, Portlands ParkSuperintendent from 1908-1914, designed LaurelhurstPark. There were several distinct sections to EmanuelMisches plan that you can still see today: FirwoodLake, a picnic grove, a Rhododendron Hill, broadmeadows and a plateau, and a play park. In 2001Laurelhurst Park was named to the National Register

of Historic Places, the first city park ever listed on thenational register.

If you know an interesting part of Laurelhursts his-tory, please share it with us by contacting theNewsletter Editor. Its always fun to learn more aboutthis amazing neighborhood we live in.

Bu siness Spotlight:Laur elhurst CafeLaurelhurst Caf is just what the neighborhood hasneeded. A friendly venue to come in and relax whileenjoying some coffee, espresso, delicious food or

your favorite wine or beer.

Ken Bareilles moved to the area with his wife andtwo young children a little over a year ago. Afterseeing the prior establishment for sale on Craigslistand talking with neighbors about what they wouldlike in that location, he created the LaurelhurstCaf. It was in talking to neighbors that he met Greg

Vitunic, the chef at Laurelhurst Caf. With 15 yearsoffine dining experience, Greg had moved to theneighborhood to be near his family. They quickly hitit off, and the great menu at the Caf was born.

Neighbor favorites include their hearty winter soups,the BLT and the hot tuna sandwich with line caughtalbacore. Jeff Hanson keeps coming back, for thegood food, nice environment, and its convenience.

Laurelhurst Caf is open 7 days a week from 7 am 8 pm, with happy hour on wine, beer and

appetizers from 4 8 pm every day. They are dog andkid friendly, with a wonderful outside patio.

Ken hopes the Caf will become a neighborhood re-source, and welcomes collaborating with non-profits,and hosting private parties. While you are invited tocome in and relax, they take call-in orders, and as Kenstated, while our food is great, people are welcome to

come in and have a cup of coffee. We take great pridein our brewed coffee and espresso drinks.

Fire!By: Ed Rentz, Laurelhurst Neighborhood EmergencyTeam

Of all the disasters, fire is perhaps the most devastat-ing. It happens quickly, destroys everything in its pathand can kill. Last year, Portland Fire responded to2,733 fires in 1-2 family dwellings. There were 16 fa-

talities, 172 injuries and $62 million in property loss.

Experts tell us that a fire will double in size every30 seconds. Early detection is crucial. Install smokedetectors on everyfloor and every bedroom. Testmonthly and replace batteries each year. Have a fam-ily escape plan. Have two ways out of every room. Oneof the routes may be a window. If you live in a twostory home, consider getting an escape ladder. Have aspecific meeting place across the street that everyoneknows. Practice your plan.

If you have a fire, get out first then call 911. Whentrying to get out of a burning building, feel the doorwith the back of your hand before you open it. If itis warm or hot do not open it. Once out of a room,if there is heavy smoke do not try to run through it.Smoke kills more people than fire. It is very toxic andcan incapacitate a person in a matter of seconds. If

you can leave, close doors behind you. It will slow thespread of the fire. If you are trapped in a room, close

the door. If possible, open the window a bit at the topto let smoke out, and open it a bit at the bottom to letfresh air in. Hang a sheet or other bright cloth out the

window to attract attention.

If your clothes catch fire: Stop, Drop and Roll untilthe fire is out. Do not run, as it will fan the flames andmake it worse. Have a Fire Extinguisher available inthe house and know how to use it. Think of the word

PASS: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeezethe handle, and Sweep back and forth.

Gridlock on Glisan?By: Jim Edelson, SW Quad Representative andRepresentative to the PPMC Planning Process

How many of us in our neighborhood need to drivedown Glisan between 47th and 60th on a weekdayafternoon? Do you sometimes avoid Glisan for an

alternative route because of congestion? ProvidencePortland Medical Campus (PPMC) is in the process offiling a land-use action called a Conditional Use Mas-ter Plan (CUMP). This Plan, when approved by theCity, will determine how, when and where the campuscan grow in the next 10 years. PPMC currently gen-erates the most traffic of any facility on Laurelhurstroads. What will be the traffic impacts of another250,000 sf of facilities within the PPMC campus?

8


9/12

New Plans and More TrafficIn the proposed CUMP filed with the City in Decem-

ber, Providence is asking for permission to expandvehicular parking on the campus by up to 464 newlyconstructed parking spaces over the next ten years.This is in addition to the 303 surplus spaces alreadyon campus. This plan that could lead to 767 moreparking spaces being used, starts with the assump-tion that over the next ten years, Providence will notreduce the proportion of employees and other ser-

vices that arrive in a single-occupancy vehicle (SOV).In Providences Traffic Demand Management Plan, amajor component of the CUMP, the predicted traf-fic counts on Glisan increase significantly yet, theTraffic Plan concludes that intersections and accesspoints will continue to operate acceptably.

Are there alternatives?PPMC is served nearby by two MAX stations and ahigh-frequency bus line that runs down Glisan every

15 minutes. To demonstrate that PPMC can reducevehicle traffic to their campus, LNA representativesto the PPMC planning process investigated how traf-

fic management plans at three other large facilitiescompared to the Providence plan.

These three plans for OHSU, the Lloyd District andChildrens Hospital in the Laurelhurst neighborhoodof Seattle were developed by outside consultants for

planning their clients transportation futures. Allthree plans anticipate significant reductions in SOVtrips to the facilities over the next 10 years. However,the Plan developed for Providence does not. In addi-tion, all three comparable plans have significant inno-

vative management efforts to reduce SOV trips. Butthe new actions in the Providence plan are limitedto one: a new bike-share program. This single effort islaudable, but insufficient.

LNA is working closely with the North Tabor Neigh-borhood Association in negotiating a new GoodNeighbor Agreement with Providence that will tryto address increased traffic generation, among otherissues. LNA representatives have proposed multipleadditional SOV reduction strategies to Providence,such as payments in lieu of parking, increased Zip-car availability and better access and information fortransit users.

As of press date, both

neighborhood associa-tions were waiting to hearfrom Providence if andhow they will address thenearby neighborhoodstraffic concerns. If youare interested in this is-sue, please contact eithermyself or Gary Naylor (at-large Representative).
