Potential Parking Permit District
Last November, parking staff from Portland Bureau of Transportation heard neighborhood comments on street parking challenges in the Cully Triangle area around NE Cully Blvd & Killingsworth St. Thanks to your input, PBOT is now studying a possible parking permit district in the area to help keep spaces available for residents who need them. Rae-Leigh Stark from PBOT will join us this month to present on a how a permit district might work in Cully and how the neighborhood and city council would approve it. Creating a permit system that works for everyone requires more of your input, so please join us and share your thoughts with PBOT.
