Power lines through Forest Park!

Portland General Electric is requesting approval to conduct utility improvements within their existing utility easement in Forest Park. These improvements include shifting the location of one power pole and rewiring a segment of existing transmission line to that new pole and installing two new poles to support a new, 1,400-foot-long segment of transmission lines. The proposed transmission line activities will result in significant impacts to 4.7 acres of natural resources within Forest Park including the removal of 376 living trees and 21 dead trees, permanent fill of two existing wetlands and impacts to two streams.

About Us

We are 32 Portland neighborhoods working toward a livable and sustainable future.

District Four Coalition (D4C) is the DCO representing 32 Neighborhood Associations located in NW, SW, and SE Portland. The geographic area of our coalition area encompasses one of the most varied sections of Portland, Oregon where heavy industry, commerce and a variety of residential communities co-exist with large, pristine natural areas and riparian habitats.

D4C provides a number of different services and programs to neighborhoods and residents within our boundaries. These services range from administrative and communications support to technical assistance, grants, and financial support or fiscal sponsorship of our constituent neighborhoods and aligned community organizations.

D4C also offers a key channel for the city and elected officials to quickly disseminate information to a wide range of neighbors. This all leads to greater livability and harmony in our thriving urban center.

Visit the following links for more information on services we provide, programs we operate, our Staff and Volunteers, and how to get involved.

District Four Coalition Board of Directors meetings are held the 1st Monday of the month at 6pm.

All are welcome to attend.
