It’s finally happening!
The Portland Bureau of Transportation just announced they will host a ribbon cutting and bike ride to celebrate the Better Naito Forever project this coming Friday, May 6th.
That will be seven years since we first documented concerns about the lack of space for people to walk and bike on the west side of Waterfront Park along Naito and PBOT and nonprofit tactical urbanism group Better Block PDX implemented the “Better Naito” pilot project.
Next Friday’s event will start at 9:30 am at Salmon Springs Fountain. Speakers will begin at 10:00 am and a bike ride led by members of the PBOT Bicycle Advisory Committee will be at 10:30.
