BikePortland’s top stories of 2018

I too am missing the MTB progress. Been in River View lately? Signage is everywhere, but no Parks improvements to be had, and meanwhile we MTB’ers are still excluded from the property. The city won’t acquiesce to any trail riding on the West side in our lifetimes. What happened to the PORCMP? It looks like its shelved and buried, just like every other Portland plan, collecting dust until its too old to utilize. Meanwhile Portland Parks and RECREATION continues to use outdated and illogical trail maintenance practices that create more user conflict and erosion concerns than is necessary. Its not all lost however, the rampant influx of new Portlanders is full of people that are accustomed to sharing multi-use trails. Thus , the average trail grumpiness index I encounter is improving.
