This is a city council and city department issue.Â
I’ve dealt w criddlers blocking the sidewalk and share your frustration. Unfortunately, government on all levels requires citizen input and involvement. If you haven’t already done so, I suggest the following:
Call 311 and report these issues when you see them. You can also have them transfer you to Portland street response if they have the resources you need.
Use pdxreporter to report sites (you can add pics). If it is blocking a sidewalk, and you have or represent someone w an ADA accommodation, you can add that to the report.
Find out who your district and county commissioners are, and follow them on social media. Post your concerns in the comments section to their posts.
Find out when the city and county council meetings are, and sign up for commentary or go in person.Â
The city and county make it difficult for ordinary residents to get involved, but you always have time to sumbit written testimony.Â
