Portland Parks Bond in November 2013

Parks Commissioner Nick Fish has announced that he is committed to bringing a Portland Parks & Recreation bond measure to the City Council for the November 2013 ballot. The bond will help repair deteriorating parks and facilities as well as ensure social justice for all Portlanders by bringing new parks to neighborhoods without them. Details on the size (likely $150-250 million) and specific projects will be forthcoming, but both Commissioner Fish and Director Mike Abbaté are encouraged by the support this idea has already generated among Portlanders.
