Portland’s 90-day reset to help clean up the city’s central eastside was temporarily effective according to business owners. However, they say once the reset ended, the same issues returned.
Starting in January, the city worked for three months to clean up crime and homelessness in the district amid rising concerns from business owners.
With visibly less trash in the neighborhood, but still plenty of tents and graffiti, Anne Barwick, president of the Sheridan Fruit Company, says she noticed a difference during the reset. But she also said that the same challenges quickly returned as soon as it ended.
“They were cleaning up a lot of the homeless, a lot of the garbage more often. So that did help. You know, at least you could see something being done. But like I say, when it was over, we knew exactly when it was over before somebody had to say that it was exactly that day,” she said. “During the reset, things were slightly better, but I can tell you the minute it was off, it seems like we went back to where we were.”
These concerns come just days after the city released data on the reset, touting lighting improvements, plus more than 73,000 square feet of graffiti and 321 camps removed.
There were also 89 arrests, 23 stolen vehicles recovered and 19 firearms seized by Portland police, along with nearly 5,000 pounds of trash and just under 10,000 square feet of the area cleaned up.
