Hello!

My local ice rink here in Portland, OR, the Lloyd Center Ice Rink (https://www.lloydice.com/), is slated for demolition as part of redevelopment in the area. There aren't that many rinks in the Portland metro area (the one that Tonya Harding skated at no longer exists). This one is rare in being centrally located, year round, and public transit accessible.

If folks could spread the word (and sign the petition should you see fit), I would be grateful.

"The goal of Save Lloyd Ice Coalition (SLIC) is to urge the City of Portland to pause approval of the Lloyd Center redevelopment plan and require preservation of the Lloyd Center Ice Rink, or a binding, permanent, year-round replacement facility of equal or greater quality, before any demolition or irreversible action occurs."
ETA: Here's a news article about the planned demolition and redevelopment for those interested in the background. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland...d-with-teardown-of-mall-and-its-ice-rink.html
