photo: Randy L. Rasmussen, The Oregonian Occupy Portland: Parks bureau says it needs at least $85,000 to revive Chapman, Lownsdale squares For 38 days, the city chose not to prosecute protesters for violating the city's no-camping ordinance. But after Mayor Sam Adams imposed a curfew, Portland police evicted the protest Nov. 13 and swept the squares. They have been fenced off since. The Portland Parks and Recreation has determined, in a preliminary estimate, that it will cost $85,850 to repair damage done by Occupy Portland protesters who camped in Lownsdale and Chapman Squares. The largest costs, presented in a press release that itemized expenses, will be $28,000 to repair a men's bathroom (shown) and $16,000 to either replace or repair 9 park benches.
