| Get
to know your team members better, also your neighbors and your neighborhood.
We
have found that an occasional walk through the neighborhood is both enjoyable
and instructive (not to mention healthy!). We meet people, do a little
recruiting of new NET team members, discover where those trails, foot paths,
and stairs are located, and catch up on some gossip. (Note the
connecting foot routes in green on the above map.)
The occasional
potluck has been suggested to get all the Southwest NET's together. |
Help
correct the maps.
This
map, typical of street maps of Portland, would never do for emergency
response. The streets shown in red don't
exist, never did, and most never could because they are in steep-walled
canyons. (The picture on the left is on Sherwood Pl. just to the
left of the "W" in "CLEMWELL.")
For Southwest Portland
we have posted maps with far, far fewer errors. SEE
THEM. Please check these maps and tell us what errors (including
things missing) you find so that we can correct them. Look also at
the SW Walking map, printed on waterproof paper and loaded with useful
information for walkers and NET teams: LOOK.
Error-correction pages for this map are HERE.
Encourage similar map-correction
efforts for all of the Portland area, by and for all of the city's NET
teams. (A Downtown/Northwest Walking Map is being prepared, hopefully
out by the end of the year.)
