Apart from the light-hearted messages here and there, Joe takes his responsibility as "Voice of the City" very seriously, which is why he's currently asking Portlanders to lend their city a hand. Portland is updating its Comprehensive Plan, which is the guide for growth and development in the City over the next 10-20 years. As part of that process, Portland (and Joe) is asking city residents to fill out this survey on their thoughts about the future of Portland. The survey will take 10-20 minutes and is available here. The survey will close on January 22nd, so if you want your voice to be heard in this important conversation, be sure to fill this survey out in the next few days.
