This guest post is by Michael Andersen of Portland Afoot, a new “10-minute newsmagazine” and wiki about low-car life in Portland.
Cars, bikes, buses (and MAX) share the transit mall.

The City of Portland has released their draft 2011 Legislative Agenda. As we hinted might happen back in July, that agenda includes an initiative to reduce neighborhood speed limits to a maximum of 20 mph on certain streets.
Mayor Adams has made it clear for a long time that he wants the Bureau of Transportation to have more authority to set local speed limits (currently all speed limits are set by ODOT, but can changed by request). However, instead of looking to make a wholesale transfer of authority, it looks as though PBOT will try to create a blanket law that would set a 20 mph maximum speed limit on all streets designated as “neighborhood greenways” (which is how I suspected they’d go about it; read end of this post published last month).

Local activist gets bike trains onto prime time TV
Remember local citizen activist Kiel Johnson? Back in August he organized a conference to educate parents and school administrators about the concept of bike trains (where folks meet up in the neighborhood and ride into school together).
About three weeks later Kiel created a website and had six schools signed up for bike trains. His efforts got noticed by a Portland-based producer who works with NBC’s new “School Pride” television show. Kiel was flown to Los Angeles to be interviewed for the show and the segment aired on Friday. Check it out below…

The Monday Roundup
Here’s the news that caught our eye last week:
– In response to constituents’ complaints, a Manhattan official has conducted an unscientific study of the city’s bike lanes, and found that they are being equally disrespected by all mode users.
– During a period of heavy construction leading up to the UK Olympics, a plumber has successfully avoided traffic delays by getting to his gigs via xtracycle.
– With the embargo gone, San Francisco continues to install new bike infrastructure. The city’s been embedding permanent bicycle counters into the pavement under some of its new bike lanes.
