Open Letter: St. Johns Alcohol Impact Area

Erik Palmer writes "Dear Mayor Katz and Commissioners Francesconi, Leonard, Sten and Saltzman:

I am writing this message to you on behalf of the Friends of Cathedral Park neighborhood association. At our general membership meeting last Tuesday (Dec. 14, 2004), FOCP's attending members voted unanimously to express our continued support for the hard work that John Farra and other members of the St. Johns Neighborhood Association have undertaken in their efforts to reduce street drinking in St. Johns. Recognizing the negative impact of street drinking on both the economic vitality of the St. Johns town center, and on the livability of surrounding residential areas, we call on the city and the OLCC to deploy an Alcohol Impact Area in St. Johns, as recommended by the Portland Police Bureau and Distict Attorney's office."
