Portland City Council: Help Roseway build a sustainable future

Change the zoning at 7040 NE Sandy Blvd now from CG to CS as already proposed in the comprehensive plan.

Why is this important?

Roseway neighbors are eager to continue to develop a neighborhood center that encourages walking, biking and transit use. Walgreens is planning to build a one story, stand-alone, drive-thru pharmacy at this location, moving us further away from Portland's goal of enhancing livability, preserving distinctive places and planning for a resilient future. Under the new Comprehensive Plan, in 2016, a drive-thru will no longer be allowed. Why let Walgreens build one now? Please help Roseway neighbors encourage the kind of responsible growth that makes Portland a great place to live.
