The new Portland Bicycle Plan will go before City Council for a vote tomorrow, Thursday, at 3:00 pm, in Council Chambers at 1221 SW 4th Ave. Last Thursday, Council heard three hours of testimony for the Plan, asked for some more information from City staff this week, and scheduled time for more discussion and a vote tomorrow.

Excerpt from tomorrow's Agenda; click on image to jump to City Agenda website. At 2:00 pm a Code Amendment Package, including long-term bike parking changes, was supposed to go before Council, but that item has been canceled.

We are optimistic that the Plan will pass, but there will likely also be interesting discussion among the Commissioners about some final amendments addressing trails, particular bike routes, and sources of funding. Once the Plan is adopted, the BTA will be asking Council to Build It.

Be there! We sure will.
