There are 94 City-recognized neighborhood associations within Portland. Neighborhood associations are a good way for neighbors to organize and address issues, while creating a sense of community and belonging. ​Each volunteer-based association serves as a liaison between residents of the neighborhood and city government.

There are 14 Neighborhood Associations in the North Portland district where we are located.

Civic Life supports the neighborhood associations within each district in one of two ways; grant funding to an independently managed District Coalition Office (DCO) or direct support through Civic Life. A public directory of neighborhoods can be found on the City’s website.

North Portland Neighborhood Services (NPNS) is one of three district coalition offices run by the City of Portland’s Office of Community & Civic Life. Our closest neighborhood associations are Bridgeton and Kenton.

HINoon ​supports and promotes civic engagement. The Hayden Island Neighborhood Association works all citizens and city government to build a more inclusive, safe and livable neighborhood.

Hi Noon’s position on the Interstate Bridge Replacement

Like many organizations, Hi-Noon’s board had different opinions about which bridge design would be in the best interest of Hayden Island and its residents. Some board members felt that an immersed tunnel instead of a high bridge should be pursued. Others believe that the “no lift” approach required a very high freeway with complicated and steep access ramps, taking as much as 75% of the funding, with a new lift or bascule bridge the best approach. Still others believed a 3rd bridge, perhaps east of the I-205, would be preferable.

Hi-Noon chairperson Martin Slapikas favored the 3rd bridge approach and believed that there were ethics irregularities on the part of the IBR decision making. He wrote a letter to the Oregon State Ethics Committee outlining his concerns. The Ethics commission, however, replied that the listed concerns did not qualify for an inquiry.
