"Leaders of an organization called Oregon Walks, a pedestrian safety advocate group, said political leaders lack a sense of urgency.

`I don’t believe anyone leaves their home and jumps in the car and wants to hurt or kill somebody, but we’re humans, we make mistakes, and we make choices, and we have to build a system, an infrastructure, so those mistakes, those choices, don’t lead to people dying.`"

"Holgate Library will be a brand new, two-story building, triple the size of the current space for a total of 21,000 square feet — making it one of the largest libraries in Multnomah County. To start on this important work, Holgate Library will temporarily close for construction starting on December 5, 2022. Holgate is scheduled to reopen in spring 2024 as a new building at the same location."
