Ride meets at Lents Park in SE

If you’re curious about what to expect, I shared a recap and photos from the 2022 ride and recorded a podcast from the 2023 ride.

Councilor Tiffany Koyama Lane’s Vision Zero Resolution, which reaffirms the city’s commitment to zero traffic deaths and makes some key administrative changes to up the urgency around the effort, passed the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee back in June. Now it will be heard at the full council. I’ll post the agenda once it’s published.
