(Portland, OR) -- Last year's parking permit pilot program on Sauvie Island has become permanent. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission voted to make the change. The parking areas for Walton, Collins, and North Unit beaches get overcrowded on weekends and holidays. A limited number of permits solved the problem. From June 15th through Labor Day, drivers need to buy a Sauvie Island Beaches Parking Permit for ten-dollars. The Wildlife Parking Permit won't work in those lots. They only work for wildlife areas.
