What is your relationship to the Lents neighborhood? Choose all that apply (hold down the Ctrl key on your PC or Command on your Mac to select multiple items).
What activities do you, your family, and/or friends like to do in Lents?
Go out to eat, go to the park, exercise at the track at Marshall H.S.
What kinds of businesses are important to you? What kinds of businesses would you like to have added to the neighborhood?
I like most of the restaurants. Maybe coffee shops or specialty shops would be nice. It’s really hard to replace something like the Fred Meyer at 82nd and Foster, but a regulat grocery store would be outstanding.
What kind of open public space do you imagine here? What could it be used for (e.g., Lents International Farmers Market)?
Farmers market would be great. Some of the events in Lents Park are fine, but some are really too loud and just make the neighborhood negative.
What kind of housing do you imagine here? Do you want to see a mix of affordable housing units and market rate units? Do you want to see a mix of units to accommodate families of all sizes?
I think some apartments mixed with houses or duplexes would be great. I think the units mixed with retail are enough already. There seems to be plenty of retail space available now.
What are your top priorities for Prosper Portland's investment in this development?
Additional parking for businesses and residents
Create affordable housing units
Create open spaces for neighborhood events
Housing without rent restrictions
Support local neighborhood small businesses through commercial space renovations
Programmed events in public spaces, install public art
