Safe Streets Team Meeting

Meeting at 1pm on the second Wednesday of every month. Now meeting at the new Bayside Opportunity Center space at 62 Elm Street in Bayside.
The Safe Streets Team focuses on public safety, walkability, infrastructure improvements, and crime prevention to make Bayside safer and more livable for all residents. The team works to address the reality that Bayside accounts for a disproportionate percentage of Portland police calls for service, while also advocating for improvements to infrastructure, lighting, crosswalks, and pedestrian-friendly street design. By monitoring crime statistics, engaging with Portland Police’s Midtown Community Policing team, and bringing community concerns to city officials, the team seeks to create streets where children can walk to school safely, neighbors feel comfortable greeting each other, and all residents can move through the neighborhood confidently.
