Pages 2-3: Neighbors Struggle with a [Multnomah] Safe Rest Village Next Door. The MSRV has grown to 100 units with potentially more on the horizon.

District 4 Local Transportation Funding Open House
Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026, 6:30-8:30pm
Rieke Elementary School Gym, 1405 SW Vermont St
Portland is experiencing a transportation funding crisis. PBOT is in its eighth year of budget cuts. Our streets are falling apart, our bridges are aging, and we can't afford to make the safety improvements our communities are asking for. The cost of transportation construction has gone up, and funding hasn't increased to pay for it.
Join the conversation about local transportation funding and weigh in on a variety of options and opportunities at an open house in your district.

As the Oregon Electric train continued along what is now Multnomah Boulevard, it came to the Ryan Place station, near today’s SW 25th, named for the family that had settled in the area, which was platted in 1908.
