City Leaf Collection Opt-Out period Extended to Nov. 20 Parking Options Announced

There's still a few days to opt-out of the city's leaf collection program and deal with the leaves on your property yourself.

The City realized they had made a mistake in the published cost of leaf collection for Sullivan's Gulch and recently reminded residents that the cost will be $30 per single-family residence.  As a result the City announced an extension of the opt-out deadline until Tuesday, Nov. 20.  For details, you're best off calling 503-865-5323 as the city web site is confusing.  Remember that even if you opt-out you still MUST REMOVE ALL VEHICLES FROM THE STREET on Friday, December 14 or you will be towed!

To make it easier to find a place to store your vehicle, SGNA has secured permission for residents to park overnight and following day at:

      • Grace Memorial Episcopal Church parking lot - NE 16th and Halsey  (do not use row next to the church)

      • Fred Meyer parking lot - use spaces along the grassy park area only; you must display a signed waiver form on dashboard - instructions for getting the form will be posted on this website closer to the leaf collection day; subscribe to the website (upper right hand corner) in order to be notified.

Parking at Grace Church will be from 6 pm Dec. 13 to 6 pm Dec. 14 and at Fred Meyer from 8 pm Dec. 13 to 7 pm Dec. 14.  Be sure your vehicle is removed from the space by those times.

Parking at these 2 locations are first-come, first-served and when the available spaces are full you will have to park elsewhere, such as across Broadway in order to avoid being towed.
