Forums to Gather Bike Plan Data
June 12, 2007
The City of Portland's Office of Transportation wants feedback residents to help shape the city's Bicycle Master Plan. There will be three public forums this month. The first was last Tuesday. The next two are from 5-8 pm on June 12 at 1120 SE 5th, Room C and June 14, at 5210 N. Kerby in the Jefferson High cafeteria.
Portland is knows as one of the nation's most bike friendly cities. Portland has earned Gold Status from the League of American Bicyclists and numerous awards from Bicycling Magazine. Portland is hoping to acheive the League's Platinum Status through input from citizens. Platinum Status will assist the city in gaining respect nationwide, provide leverage to continue funding for successful bike programs and overall it is a rewarding acheivement for decades of hard work.

For a long time I've questioned what is the big deal about this Platinum Status deal. This gives me a better understanding. I might head over to that.

Hiya, I'm glad you're helping out with improving bike transportation. Thanks.
Also, I was wondering if you could take a look at my bikeway idea, and maybe post some feedback.
