Our cleaning crew is out every day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., keeping downtown Portland looking its best. From sweeping sidewalks to removing graffiti, collecting litter to pressure washing, they’re doing the daily work that makes downtown cleaner and more welcoming for everyone. They work alongside city services to provide that extra level of care downtown deserves.

Our safety team works downtown seven days a week, building relationships and addressing concerns as they arise. In partnership with Portland Police, they provide an additional layer of support by connecting people to resources, de-escalating conflicts, and creating a more welcoming environment for everyone. You’ll see them on foot patrols throughout downtown, ready to help.

Placemaking is how we transform downtown’s streets, parks, and plazas into spaces where community happens—like year-round lighting, cultural events, and art installations that bring people together and make Portland’s heart feel like home.
