It's that time of year again! Time for the Portland Marathon. Although the actual race route does not enter the Reed Neighborhood Association, it will impact nearby streets. Runners start the race in Downtown Portland and make their way south to cross over the Sellwood Bridge in Sellwood. They then continue east on SE Bybee Blvd and enter Eastmoreland. The route heads north on Reed College Pl and performs a counter-clockwise loop around the Reed College Campus. It then heads south back down Reed College Pl and returns to Sellwood via SE Bybee Blvd. From Sellwood the runners head north on SE Milwaukie Ave and make their way to the Burnside Bridge to cross back over into Downtown for the race finish.

SPECIAL TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

It is recommended that Reed residents do not attempt to use SE 28th Ave to travel anywhere south of SE Steele St from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the day of the race. If it is absolutely necessary to enter Eastmoreland from Reed via SE 28th Ave, traffic control personnel will be present to assist vehicles to do so, but there will be significant delays.

Once in Eastmoreland, it will not be possible to continue down SE 28th Ave to cross over 99E on Bybee Bivd. Cesar Chavez Blvd should be used as an alternative for any travel south of SE Steele St.

Autumn walks at dusk in the Reed Neighborhood. No this isn’t a photo from Palm Springs, it’s one of our mid-century homes right here in Reed. It’s so amazing to see what the next generation is doing to restore these beautiful, one of a kind homes in our neighborhood. The lines on this one are just perfect. The original name for this cluster of homes was Reedwood and they were a part of a movement of low slung modern residential architecture that was rapidly spreading across the West Coast in the 1950s and 60s.
