Unpaved streets are part of
Unpaved streets are part of what makes Multnomah a "village."...from someone who grew up there. Good old Hume Street had (still has!) great potholes to keep auto speeds down...our dog liked to sleep in them while waiting for cars to chase. We played in the street with no fear of being run down. Run off was absorbed; trees that were in the official right of way thrived. Why would anyone pay to disturb this peaceful scene and get more speed, less safety, more runoff, fewer trees. Yuk. Pot holes are random, low cost speed bumps...leave them be.
