New features: Page Two, links, and a new view for comments
Just want to point out a few new ways to view content here on BikePortland.
As you may have noticed, I’ve started a new section called, “Page Two”. I’ve created Page Two because I come across a lot of information and I simply don’t have time to develop into larger, finished stories.
Page Two stories will be less polished, might be simply rehashed press releases, and they will sometimes be precursors to larger stories I’m working on for the Front Page.
“Safe and Sound Streets” campaign moves forward with Town Halls
Commissioner Sam Adams continues his march toward finding a way to fund fixes to our transportation system with a series of Town Hall Meetings to discuss his “Safe and Sound Streets” campaign.
As he alluded to in my interview with him last week, Adams is facing a potential ballot measure next Spring to fund the initiative.
This campaign includes a major bicycle component to the tune of $24 million for 110 miles of new bicycle boulevards. Watch the Front Page of BikePortland.org for more coverage. For now, be sure to save the date for one of the following Town Halls…

City announces Streetcar System Plan open houses
Like we are doing with our Bicycle Master Plan, the City is working on a Streetcar System Plan. Since we all share the same roads, we have to make sure bikes and streetcars coexist nicely.
The City of Portland just announced a series of public open houses where you can learn more and offer your feedback. Here’s their official verbage, followed by the list of locations and dates for the open houses:
Stolen Bianchi Pista
Stolen from inside my SUV in front of my house between 1am and 7am: 2005 Chrome Bianch Pista Fixed gear. Black cammo Bull horn bars. Front TekPro Brake mounted right hand side. Metal pedals with metal toeclips. Front and rear lights. And fenders.

“There was quite an outcry from the cycling community, so PDOT engineers came up with a design that would allow bike lanes.”
–From meeting minutes of the Portland Bicycle Advisory Committee
At the Portland Bicycle Advisory Committee meeting last night, committee Chair Mark Ginsberg confirmed that PDOT work crews will hope to soon be adding bike lanes to the notorious “Naito Gap”.

Bike Lunch!
The lunch get togethers are growing! So far each week more people have come to socialize with their bikey friends, and make new friends.
I’m planning on wearing my bright yellow shirt, and carrying my clover helmet again to help people find the group.
If you want to bring something to help identify yourself as one of the group that would be nice, but not absolutely required. If you can’t find the group you can call/text me at (503) 409-1735
Event Location: Backspace Near 5th & Couch on NW 5th 1 1/4 blocks North of Burnside

Kids Bike Safety Education (BTA)
We (the BTA) are looking for volunteers who like to have a good time to ride with our instructors and students on their graduation bike rides.
Tasks include pretty much anything that the instructor needs- but usually looks like volunteers riding with the instructors and students, modeling proper riding, and being supportive and enthusiastic for these students. Graduation rides all happen on Thursdays or Fridays, during the school day (schedule below.)
We usually ask for volunteers to commit to at least a 2.5 hour shift. Each class is either one hour or two hours, and this allows for time to
orient volunteers before the class.
Each school has it’s own schedule, so it’s probably best to just choose a school, and an afternoon or morning shift and we can fill you in on the details to see if that fits for you. If you need help with what part of town the schools are in, let me know – they are all over the City of Portland.
