The Bayside Neighborhood Association (BNA) represents all those with a vested interest in the Bayside neighborhood. Our members are made up of residents, property owners, businesses or organizations in the neighborood. We welcome anyone who lives, works or owns property in Bayside to get involved with us.
Bounded by Forest Avenue, Marginal Way, Congress Street and the Franklin Street Arterial, we are just minutes from the Downtown, the beach, the wharf and the bay. Historically, Bayside has been home to warehouses, scrapyards, manufacturing, small businesses and many families that go back generations. Today, it is a mix of families and singles, young and old, immigrants and Mainers, old and new development, social services, businesses, offices, and an active neighborhood association.
We have monthly Steering Committee meetings the second Tuesday of the month at 6 pm which are always open to the public. It is a great way to hear all that is happening in the neighborhood. Unless otherwise noted, all meetings take place in the community room at Unity Village, 24 Stone Street. Check out the committee page to see all the active sub-comittees and what they are doing.
The BNA also produces the Baysider newspaper on a bi-monthly basis to keep members and the community informed on issues and events of interest. We have special meetings and host forums as the need arises to get people together to discuss issues impacting our neighborhood.
The BNA exists to work towards serving you, our neighbors, and to make Bayside the best place to live and work in Portland! We want to hear from you. Attend a meeting or event, send an email or call. Let us know your thoughts, dreams or concerns.
