An article published today in the Wall Street Journal (by Portland resident Nancy Keates) examines how far U.S. cities have come in their quest to emulate cycling successes in Europe and the challenges we cities face in becoming on par with world-class bike-friendly cities like Amsterdam.
The article also features a quote from Portland City Commissioner Sam Adams. Here’s the link (it will only last for 10 days):
Employees from northwest Portland-based Chris King Precision Components spoke about sustainability in front of Mayor Potter and City Council last week.
Production manager David Prause and IT manager Selena Deckelmann testified in support of a new report released by the Sustainable Development Commission titled, “PDX: The World’s Sustainability Center: A blueprint for global leadership in sustainable economic development.”
Chris King is identified by the City of Portland’s Office of Sustainable Development as belonging to the “sustainable industries cluster” and was one of over 20 businesses interviewed to help formulate recommendations presented in the Commission’s report.
Clever Cycles, Portland’s soon-to-be-opening retail shop that will carry bakfiets cargo bikes and “a complete line of resoundingly practical biking gear” is showing signs of life at their location on SE 9th Ave., just south of Hawthorne Blvd.
Part of a Dutch bike invasion sweeping North America, this shop will complete a triangle of two-wheeled revelry; it’s just a block away from the Lucky Lab and their Bike Route Rye, and The Recyclery bike shop.
Here are three great jobs recently listed on the BikePortland Job Listings:
