The Bayside Business Breakfast Club met on March 26, 2025 at Levitt & Sons Deli. About a dozen business owners gathered. Greg Watson, Director of Housing & Economic Development attended and gave an overview of upcoming area developments. Other funding programs like small business grants were reviewed. Neighborhood safety was discussed. Some businesses mentioned customers not feeling safe walking to their location. Parking was also discussed. Businesses do not feel there are the right options for parking – from lack of parking, not in the place it needs to be to service some businesses. There were comments about new developments not being required to provide parking – new residentials and the proposed Live Nation – but some Bayside businesses had old ordinances that required parking. No business leader has emerged to lead this group but some folks offered to give input on future agendas. The next gathering will be April 30 at Coffee Me Up, 8:30am. for more information email breakfastclub@baysideportland.org
