Help stop the proposal to put a Home Depot at the East Burnside

Bridgehead. This project would be bad for cycling and bad for small

businesses on the East side. A much better proposal is the "Beam

Development" option, which includes residential and small business uses.





Take action (follow the Onward Oregon link) by sending a message to City

Commision and PDC members. It's easy to do -- I've already received a

number of responses from the members.

As the Onward Oregon page says: "Walking/biking distance to downtown,

and inner SE jobs, means that this should be sidewalk-friendly with lots

of foot traffic. Big-box home improvement stores are nearly 100%

automobile-centered. Who walks to Home Depot during lunch for a 2x4?

You always drive there."
