Metro Councilor and BTA co-founder Rex Burkholder will share his perspectives on Portland’s transportation network in Guadalajara, Mexico later this month.
He’s been invited by the Bogota, Columbia-based, Ciudad Humana Foundation to give a talk at the second meeting of the Ciclovias Unidas de las Americas, a coalition of eight countries in Central and South America whose mission is to promote better health in cities throughout Latin America by encouraging bicycling, including building ciclovias (the spanish word for bikeways).
Burkholder will present images of Portland’s bike culture and will share stories from his historical perspective on the evolution of our transportation network.
