Take the Streetcar Survey

by Trace
streetcar The Portland Office of Transportation (PDOT) is currently drafting a Streetcar System Plan, with the intent of creating a citywide network. The purpose of the Streetcar System Plan (SSP) District Working Group process that is currently underway is to engage the public in the beginning of a long-range planning effort that will identify future streetcar corridors with the highest potential in a long-term implementation strategy. Specifically, the goal of the NE District Working Group process is to identify where community support for potential streetcar corridors is located in NE Portland. Currently, volunteers like us are doing community outreach to gauge the level of support in Northeast Portland along various corridors such as Broadway/Weidler, MLK Blvd, Alberta St, and 82nd Ave. The city has stated that new streetcar corridors will be prioritized in areas where community support exists.

Kidical Mass

by nancy
Kid Mass group icecream Wow. There were a lot of Portlanders downtown on the streets last night in the early evening enjoying the beautiful evening. And about 50 of them were families, on bikes, paticipating in Kidical Mass . For a lot of great photos and a video, courtesy of BikePortland , check out this link . Many thanks to Angela and the other Bicycle Transportation Alliance riders who organized the ride, mapped the route, gave a primer on rules of the road and helped keep us together and safe. This was our second Pedalpalooza ride - the first one was last Thursday's Kick Off Parade that launched at Jamison. That was really fun, don't get me wrong. But riding with kids and families last night felt like the perfect pace with the perfect group. Several kids did the entire ride on small bikes and skoots, some with parents running alongside them. You could tell they were tired, but the enthusiasm kept them going, along with random crowds on the sidewalks cheering and clapping. We ended the
