SUMMARY:Ride to "Holidays on Franklin Street"
CONTACT:Tom Howe
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver version of Peacock Lane with live snowfall\nFranklin
  Street is Vancouver's version of Peacock Lane where all of the houses 
 have holiday decorations\, this year with over 200\,000 lights. There is 
 also live entertainment\, and on the evening of this bike ride there will 
 be live snowfall thanks to snow-generating machines. \n\nThe ride meets at
  the Expo Center MAX station\, which is the final stop on the MAX Yellow 
 Line. A dedicated bike path starts at that station and goes all the way to
  Vancouver over the I-5 bridge. In downtown Vancouver we ride along 
 Columbia Street\, which was recently enhanced to make it very bike 
 friendly. The street has buffered bike lanes with green bike boxes at each
  intersection. The buffer zone contains ZICLA-style lane separators\, 
 which are rubber-like curbs several feet long and several inches high. 
 These in effect create a continuous curb with openings between the ZICLAS 
 to allow exiting the bike lane when needed. Columbia Street has the most 
 extensive use of ZICLA separators of any bikeway in the area.\n\nFranklin 
 Street is only a couple blocks from Columbia Street\, and other homes in 
 the area have gotten into the act\, so will see some highly-decorated 
 houses on the way to Franklin. Total round trip distance for the ride from
  and back to the Expo Center MAX station is about 10 miles.\n\nThis is a 
 BikeLoud-affiliated event giving Portland residents an opportunity to see 
 how Vancouver handles bike infrastructure on the city's premiere bikeway. 
 Hope to see you on the ride!\nRide leaves North end of MAX station at 6pm 
 after arrival of 5:55 pm train. If riding MAX plan arrival on the 5:55 
 train or the one earlier.\nEnds at Ride ends back at Expo Center MAX
