This week's Mercury reporting highlights several key developments in Portland. The Portland Street Response program may achieve success after facing bureaucratic challenges, now under new city leadership focusing on community safety. The Steel Bridge Skatepark project is progressing after a crucial land swap, promising an inclusive environment for all skaters. Furthermore, City Councillor Jamie Dunphy is leading a push to revitalize Portland's music scene, reflecting a broader cultural ambition. Additionally, the ManiFest event demonstrates an emerging appreciation for nail art as a form of artistic expression.
"Portland's Community Safety Division director says Portland Street Response is in 'a rebuilding year.' The mobile crisis response program has struggled to find financial and political support, but new leadership might position it for success."
"Skatepark advocates say the new site will be an inclusive space for all skaters, signaling a revitalization of a long-neglected lot in Portland's Old Town with the approval of a land swap."
