Neighbors, PBOT fed up with NW 13th outdoor plaza

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Outdoor dining spots became quite popular during and since the COVID-19 pandemic. They popped up around the city and many restaurants continue using the extra, outdoor space.

But neighbors who live near the Northwest 13th Avenue Plaza said things have gotten out of hand.

"It was a great idea. And certainly during pandemic, everybody was all for it. But it's now, it's really just become an extension of this restaurant," said neighbor Steve Heard about the outdoor seating at River Pig.
