RENAME 42ND AVENUE
It is on! Aaron Duran
Hello friends and supporters. Very silent here at Rename42nd.org lately. We are sorry about that. Trust me; we have in no way abandoned our effort to rename NE 42nd Avenue into Douglas Adams Boulevard. We just had the poor timing of starting a highly bureaucratic effort in the middle of the holidays. Holidays when civil servants take extra time off.
However, that time has passed and we have great news! (No, that that great, but close). After much research and waiting for the appropriate workers to return to their desks, the time has come.
Rename42nd.org just turned in the paperwork to start the real process to rename NE 42nd Avenue into Douglas Adams Boulevard. We have official petition forms and the information we need to move forward with our efforts.
As it stands now, we have 180 days to gather a minimum of 2,500 signatures from citizens living within the Portland city limits and are registered voters. Although no official word from the Portland Department of Transportation, we will probably need the $1,000 to cover the printing costs of the flyers PDOT will send out to people living on NE 42nd Avenue. In the coming days, we will let you know where you can find petitions and how you can financially contribute to the cause if you are so inclined!
Thank you all again and as always, Don't Panic
