Put simply, we need neighborhoods where biking and walking are safe and easy.

We write to you today in support of the proposal to build Green Streets and fund them through cost savings on the Big Pipe project. This ordinance is a win-win for clean water, city ratepayers, and livable communities. Here’s why:

City Hall is likely to approve $20M for implementation of joint The Bureau of Environmental Services and Bureau of Transportation "Green Streets" projects — a big step forward for the Bicycle Plan for 2030.

If you are available between 10 am and noon on Wednesday, March 10, please join the BTA and community members at City Hall to testify in favor of the proposed $20 million seed investment.

Community Budget Forum
Saturday, March 6th, 1:00-3:30 PM
IRCO Community Space
10301 NE Glisan St.

Please attend a forum and encourage the City to invest in healthy vibrant communities and cleaner air and water. Money spent on bike projects is money saved on our public health and transportation costs.

Money in the game: Council ushers in new era for bikes.

The Mayor also pledged to kickstart the building of the plan with a one time allocation of $20 million.

For more discussion and a final vote.

6:00-7:00 pm at the BTA
