1) N Going Street ramp to close (March 21-25)
The Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that street improvements require the closure of the ramp on N Going Street eastbound from Swan Island to N Greeley Avenue from Saturday, March 21 through March 25. The ramp closure will be in effect all hours and all days.
The ramp closure is necessary to allow crews to repair the failed road base and stabilize the foundation of the road to prevent potholes and other surface distresses.
Traffic will be detoured east on N Going Street to N Interstate Avenue or I-5 southbound. The traveling public is advised to expect delays while repairs are being made. We ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all work zone signage, and use the alternate routes.
This work is weather-dependent and the schedule may change.
2) Overlook Easter egg hunt (April 4)
The Easter Bunny will hop by Overlook House on Saturday, April 4. He will leave hundred of eggs containing treats and tiny treasures for children to discover and put in their basket. Anyone who finds one of the shining golden eggs can turn it in to win a special prize!
The Eggstravaganza takes place promptly at 10:30 a.m., rain or shine. The event is sponsored by Friends of Overlook House for neighborhood children. It’s free, with donations gratefully accepted.

3) Aspire Project moves to a new home (April 11)
Since 2010, The Aspire Project has provided accessible dance classes at the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center, a historical part of the Overlook Neighborhood. The project recently announced it will move to a new studio in St. Johns.
Officials with the Project said they will miss the Overlook Neighborhood and invite our community to attend the grand opening celebration at the new studio. It will be a fun-filled day of learning dance moves, watching performances, short class demonstrations and a chance to explore the four new studio spaces. There will be complimentary refreshments and a raffle.
