Day: January 6, 2008

See CommissionerSam.com for full details and background on this proposal.

Key components of the Safe, Sound and Green Streets Program are: a significant investment in the bicycle network, reducing the conflict between bikes and cars; improvements to the signalizations of lights, reducing green house gases and congestion while improving driving times; and repairing all the arterials in poor and very poor condition.

I encourage you to review the information and related blogs on the issue. The matter will be before council on January 9, 2008 at 2:00 PM. We hope to see you at the council hearing and look forward to your support.

LOCATION: City Council Chambers. Portland City Hall, SW 4th Street Entrance

Are you in the dark about night riding? Time to light –up!

The Downtown Bike Gallery is hosting the Light Night Social. Lights are the law after dark, but we love them for the safety and fun they add to evening rides. So, Downtown Bike Gallery will keep the doors open late this evening in order to answer all of your bike lighting queries.

We’ll have plenty of the See and Be Seen 15% off coupons on hand so you can buy all of the lights, reflective tape, and blinkies you need to be safe and seen. Special guests from two of the Portland Office of Transportation’s programs -See and Be Seen and SmartTrips Downtown – will join the fun with great information about commuting.

You’re invited to, learn shop, socialize, or just linger and have a glass of wine, beer, juice, and some snacks before you head for home.
