From BikeLoud PDX:

Get our settlement over the finish line!

The settlement would be one of Portland’s biggest investments in biking, ever.

In 2022 BikeLoud filed a lawsuit against the City of Portland over violation of the Bike Bill (a 1971 law that requires bicycle and pedestrian facilities to be built when a road is constructed, reconstructed, or relocated).

Here we are three years later with a legal settlement in hand ready to get things done, but Portland City Council says not so fast. We need their approval on our settlement to seal the deal. That’s why we need you to show up so our city government knows we’re not giving up that easily.

On Wednesday morning we’ll be delivering a letter to city council spelling out why they should pass this settlement agreement. 

This is an opportunity to show City Council that Portlanders will fight for safer streets.

Rally at City Hall Wednesday, October 22 at 9:00 am!

Do you work on trails or active transportation projects as an advocate, civil servant, or consultant? Do you enjoy riding your bike, hiking, horseback riding or paddling? Metro’s Quarterly Trails Forum is designed for you to network with fellow trail enthusiasts and learn about resources to help bring more trails to your community. For more than 30 years, Metro has convened these gatherings as a way to support each other’s work by fostering connectedness, collaboration and information sharing.

Membership

The Quarterly Trails Forum is inclusive and informal by design. There is no charter or membership roster. The general public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Participation in the Quarterly Trails Forum does not require any special qualifications or affiliations.
