PROTEST, not a ride
BikeLoud PDX, The Street Trust, Oregon Walks

4:30 PM
End location: Not a ride, please advise. The event will end around 4:30 at the same location
Gather in solidarity with us to demand that ODOT restore the bicycle fatalities on SE 26th to the state they were (or better) prior to their forced removal in 2018. In 2018, ODOT steamrolled local interests when they forced removal of safety infrastructure for people bicycling and rolling along SE 26th Ave near Powell Blvd. These decisions reduced visibility and safety for people riding bicycles. This week, beloved local Chef and daily bicycle commuter Sarah Pliner was killed by a semi-truck while bicycle commuting to work at this intersection. We need hundreds of you to come together and stand arm in arm to reclaim this street space for its most vulnerable users. In solidarity, we will demand that ODOT IMMEDIATELY restore the safety infrastructure they forced out. We will maintain complete silence in our human bike lane configuration for 30 minutes (3:45 - 4:15 pm) in observance of Chef Pliner’s tragic and untimely death on Oct 4, 2022.
