For cyclists who use Mt. Tabor, your attendance in important to talk about how to minimize conflict between park user groups and to help balance any perception that cyclists are acting in an irresponsible fashion.

Snacks are available at 5:30 and the meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m..

The meeting will be facilitated by a range of community and city stakeholders including Portland Parks and Rec, Police Bureau, and PDOT.
