One year later at the Salmon Street stop sign

Exactly one year ago today, the Portland Police Bureau Traffic Division carried out a stop sign enforcement action (a.k.a sting) at SE 23rd and Salmon.
Many cyclists received tickets and the incident touched off a heated debate (that rages on today). This debate includes issues like; the use of police resources, the conduct of law-breaking cyclists, questions about the effectiveness (and necessity) of stop signs, and so on.
I highly recommend a quick look back at my initial post and the comments from one year ago, as well as the follow-up statement by Lieutenant Mark Kruger. Those stories and perspectives offer an important education on the issues raised by the policies, behavior and practices of PDOT, the Police Bureau, and cyclists.

Cyclists made their voices heard in front of the Mayor and four City Commissioners at the Community Budget Hearing last night.
A week or so ago, with funding for the Bike Master Plan hanging in the balance, this hearing was pegged as a major priority for the bike community. But once funding for the Plan was restored, it seemed like the wind left the sails.

Mayor talks bikes on local radio show
Mayor Tom Potter was the guest of Sheila Hamilton on the KINK-FM Afternoon Show yesterday. In an interview that dealt mostly with Potter’s charter reform effort, Hamilton also brought up the Bike Master Plan funding fiasco.
It’s rare to hear Potter talk about bikes, so I thought I’d share his words with you. Below is the brief interview followed by links to the original audio.

Candi Murray has been nominated for a place in the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame.
Candi is considered by many to be the heart and sole of the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association. For 25 years she has been a devoted and tireless volunteer as OBRA has become one of the largest and most respected racing organizations in the country.
In 2006, OBRA had over 3000 registered racers (the highest per capita in the nation).
Selection to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame is done by voting of members and ballots go out next week. If she gets the nod, she’ll be the first person ever honored from the sport of cycling.
