Publisher’s note: This essay is from Southeast Portlander, former PPS School Board candidate, and Bike Bus PDX organizer Rob Galanakis. Last we heard about the Bikeable Portland plan it was being considered for funding amid a special allocation from the Portland Clean Energy Fund. It was not chosen for funding, but backers plan to re-apply for PCEF funding at a later date. You can learn more about the plan via a presentation from its creator, City Bicycle Coordinator Roger Geller, at the monthly meeting of the PBOT Bicycle Advisory Committee on Tuesday, March 10th.
