Old Town’s 90-Day Reset Plan Shows Positive Trends

Old Town leaders: ‘The mayor showed up for us’ during reset

The Old Town Community Association, alongside Portland’s city leaders, has been implementing a 90-day reset plan to address the pressing issues of safety, cleanliness, and accessibility in the Old Town area. The initiative has shown promising results, with significant reductions in drug offenses, trespassing, and vandalism. Mayor Ted Wheeler and PPB Chief Chuck Lovell have been actively involved, with the community noting greater cooperation and urgency from city and county officials. Despite challenges, the plan is considered to be moving in the right direction, with local business owners like Kamelah Adams of Mimi’s Fresh Tees witnessing tangible improvements in the neighborhood.
