Central Eastside Together cannot offer services in the following areas or surfaces:

  • The graffiti removal team needs specific approval to paint those boxes.
• Parking meters
• Road signs
  • Only PBOT staff can clean the front of road signs.
• Bioswales are managed by the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) which improves water quality.
