Portland Plan community involvement has never been more fun than Summer 2010. Summer outreach revolved around the “Portlanders Plan Portland - Strategy Building Exercise" or what we fondly refer to as “The Game.” Between May and August, 401 Portlanders played the game at 31 street fairs, home buying fairs and festivals, including:

• Sunday Parkways
• Latino, Native American and Asian & Pacific Islander home buying fairs
• Pride Northwest Festival
• Good in the Neighborhood
• Mississippi, Division/Clinton and Multnomah Days street fairs

Check out this video documenting the summer experience.

We’re using these Big Ideas – along with the comments from Phase One and Phase Two, technical research and staff work – to prepare draft strategies for community consideration during the Phase Three workshops starting in February 2011.

In the meantime, be on the lookout for more videos of Portlanders’ Big Ideas, which we’ll be posting in the coming weeks.
