1) Two liquor license applications in Overlook
The city has received two applications for liquor licenses in the Overlook Neighborhood. One is for Tonic Foods to be located at 1832 N Sumner. The other is for Jan-Marc Wine Cellars/Garagiste at N Killingsworth. Comments on the applications are due by April 30 and May 1, respectively.

2) City to remove abandoned newspaper boxes
Do you regularly walk past an abandoned publication box in the neighborhood? The Portland Bureau of Transportation this month is beginning to clear sidewalks of abandoned publication boxes as part of a larger program – shaped with input from local media outlets, neighborhoods and businesses – to improve maintenance of the boxes in the public right of way.
The new rules, adopted by the City Council earlier this year, help clean up public sidewalks for better pedestrian access and the beauty of the public right-of-way, while maintaining availability of publications.
Find out more at the PBOT website. Submit a service request to remove an abandoned box, or address issues around free-standing and co-located publication boxes at publicationboxes@portlandoregon.gov or 503.823.3467.
