Description

The Longfellow hotel construction site has made life on the end of Neal st a constant driving hazard, and is littered with noise pollution 6 days a week for 11 hours a day some days.

Beyond blocking Neal st, Congress st, and the enterance of neal st - this sit is causing walking hazards as well. I don’t feel I can cross the road safely most of the time near this site.

Yesterday our road was shut down all day without notice (this happens every few weeks for the last year). Today they have taken over half of Congress st on both sides of Neal st.

I don’t understand how this crew has such free range over this whole area. A person to direct traffic is needed in the very least.

It’s already been very disheartening that a new hotel is going in across the street from another hotel - something Portland does not need another of. Especially when this side of town is home so a large community of unhoused individuals. It would be easier to put up with all this inconvience if the construction was for something that benefits our real community instead of another large business distrusting our neighborhood.
