Bikeloud PDX + Portland: Neighbors Welcome
Sat, Jun 8, 2024, 4:00 PM
Meet at 4:00, ride at 4:15
6:00 PM
Ride is a loop
Join Portland: Neighbors Welcome (P:NW) and BikeLoud PDX on a discussion-based bike ride to hear more about P:NW's 'Inner Eastside for All' campaign. The bike ride will be very conversational pace (newbies and families welcome!) and will include many stops exploring prominent locations to be discussed as part of this campaign. The "Inner Eastside for All" campaign looks to update Portland zoning code to allow a mix of housing types in one of Portland's most proximate and service-rich neighborhoods. The vision is simple: it should be legal for any residential lot from roughly 12th to 60th, Fremont to Powell, to contribute to a thriving, mixed-income, mixed-use fabric of urban neighborhoods by allowing street-scale apartment buildings. Three zip codes largely or entirely in the proposed area are in the top 10 in the country for bike commute mode share: 97215 is #10, 97212 is #8, and 97214 is #2! Portland's Inner Eastside is unique in the country (no other city has more than 1 zip code in the top 10, and Portland has 3!) in enabling people to cycle as their primary transportation. Allowing more people to live in these neighborhoods is essential to Portland meeting our climate and transportation goals!
