Last August, we reported on the Shun Fat Supermarket taking over the former Fred-Meyer. Since then that post has become the most viewed ever on this website.
We have some even more exciting news to share and that is the Grand Opening celebration on Friday 14-June!
We previously told you about the draft report published by the Portland Bureau of Planning & Sustainability – 82nd Avenue Study: Understanding Barriers to Development —
We received notification that there is a scheduled hearing with the city council at 2:00 PM on Thursday 23-May.
The 82nd Avenue Study: Understanding Barriers to Development looks at the development potential of properties along 82nd Avenue and identifies barriers to new development and pedestrian safety. The study presents ideas that can be addressed in the near term with an eye toward long-term solutions.
Community members are invited to review the 82nd Avenue Study: Understanding Barriers to Development Recommended Draft Report and testify to City Council on May 23 at 2 p.m. or send their testimony in writing.

To whet your appetite for the new market to join our neighborhood, here is an article posted on Epicurious a couple years ago about Shun Fat Supermarkets.
