The Beaverton Resource Guide (BRG) is a free monthly community paper written, edited and published in Beaverton, by Beaverton residents and for the businesses and people of Beaverton, Oregon, USA. Cedar House Media published the ďŹ rst edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That ďŹ rst issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a diverse cross section of public and private community organizations.

#3( (PBMT

Beaverton has so many positive attributes and many go unnoticed. The BRG is our way of giving back to the community by highlighting what makes our city a great place to live, work and shop. With a focus on small, local businesses, we’d like to encourage our neighbors to ďŹ rst visit nearby stores and give them a chance before moving on to businesses outside our community.

#3( "EWFSUJTJOH

With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal. Not only do they want to know "What's Happening in Beaverton This Month" but they also agree with our philosophy of: "Shop Local - Give Local - Stay Local." As a business in the Beaverton area, your ad will be seen by those who are most willing to go out of their way to keep their dollars close to home. These shoppers, your potential new customers, also happen to be our best readers! In addition, we don’t print massive quantities and mail them out to uninterested parties. Our papers are located in convenient and high trafďŹ c locations ready to be picked up by those who love Beaverton. With low rates, targeted distribution and a willingness to provide more value than what you pay for, you'll ďŹ nd that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

unique project funded by THPRD’s 2008 voterapproved bond measure is taking shape in several of the district’s most popular natural areas. “Nature Revealed: Discovering Nature through Artâ€? funds natural resource art installations at Âżve natural areas and parks. The project was conceived to educate patrons about natural history and the environment, encourage them to connect with nature, and foster repeat visitation to parks. “We’re excited to offer a new, engaging, and artistic way for our

patrons to connect with nature in our parks,â€? said Kristin Atman, interpretive programs supervisor and the project’s manager. “It’s a Âżrst for our district.â€?

“This particular installation is about how nature happens over time, in particular with the growth of moss on structures,� Barton said. “My son got excited thinking about coming back in the future and seeing what changes actually happened.�

The Âżrst installation was completed in August at the Jordan Woods Natural Area in Cedar Mill. “Mossumentsâ€? consists of three large granite sculptures that focus on the small things in nature (e.g., moss) in a grand, monumental way.

Two other installations are at various stages of completion. “Tree Tectonics� at Raleigh Swim Center and Park features two large granite sculptures highlighting geological processes that have been placed intentionally next to trees that will interact with the stones as they grow.

“It was fun for my 8-year-old son,â€? said area resident Michael Barton, who regularly visits park sites with his family. “I told him there would be things to look for on the trail, and that became his pursuit, to Âżnd the installations before I found them.â€?

Traffic Q&A:

By BPD Staff

With the Beaverton Police Department

Q:

Is speeding up to get through a y yellow light legal as long as my front tires enter the intersection before the light turns red? A: No. Under ‘ORS 811.260, Appropriate e Driver Responses to TrafďŹ c Control Devices’, a driver facing a steady curcular yellow signal must do the following: The driver shall stop at the intersection. If a driver cannot stop in safety, the driver may drive cautiously through the intersection.

Q:

I drive a delivery van and was told by a store manager that I could park in the striped space in front of the store. The space just left of the striped space is a disabled parking space. Is it legal for me to park in the striped space that is next to a disabled space? A: (No) Oregon Revised Statute 811.615, “a person commits the offense of unlawful parking in a space reserved for persons with disabilities if the person parks a vehicle in the aisle regardless of whether or not the vehicle displays a disabled person parking permit�. Aisle spaces are the space next to a disabled space and are used for unloading wheelchairs from the side of a vehicle.

Q:

Can a person park in a disabled parking space if there is no sign but just the symbol on the ground? A: (No) Oregon Revised Statute 811.615 “A person commits the offense of unlawful parking in a space reserved for persons with disabilities if the person parks a vehicle in any parking space that is on private or public property and that is marked or signed to provide parking for persons with disabilities and the vehicle does not conspicuously display a disabled person parking permitâ€?. If you have a trafďŹ c question that you'd like us to ask the Beaverton Police Department for this column, email us at: BRG@cedarhousemedia.com (For all other police questions, call the police non-emergency number: 503-526-2260)
