Port Angeles Downtown Association

OK, our newly-elected PADA Board members are: Catherine Harper, Bob Lumens and Michael Lenox. Congrats.

The complete list of PADA Board members is available here.

Now, PADA members who are concerned about the PARKING SITUATION downtown, please attend this IMPORTANT MEETING:

Monday, January 22nd

6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the Elks' Ballroom.

There are major parking problems downtown (as you know) and they will soon be getting much worse. Important decisions need to be made. We need the input of all members of the Port Angeles Downtown Association.

UPDATE: 57 PADA members attended the meeting at the Elks' Ballroom. Thanks to everybody who showed up. A very productive meeting.

UPDATE: The PADA Board members will meet on Monday, January 29th at the Downtown Association office, 208 North Laurel St. at 6:15 p.m. They usually meet on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month; this meeting will be in addition to their regular twice-a-month meetings.

PADA members, PLEASE come to these PADA Board meetings. Everyone agrees that there is a lack of communication between the PADA Board and the downtown at large. This is a 2-way street. If you can't or won't attend their meetings, you have no right to complain about secrecy and lack of communication. We all need to be involved in decisions that affect downtown Port Angeles. Please attend these meetings.

Gateway Center

This is a separate post regarding the Gateway Project. It's probably a done deal, but it's generated a lot of anger and frustration (which has never been heard or cared about by the Powers That Be).

So, are you for it or against it? How will it affect Downtown Port Angeles and the surrounding neighborhoods? How about traffic and parking? Who benefits from the Gateway Project, and who gets screwed?
