Hello,

I will giving a presentation on Connections to the Riverfront this Thursday, November 10 at the Active Transportation Committee meeting.  I'll have photos from our recent walking tour along with ideas for creating safe and convenient access to the riverfront from the downtown and UO campus areas. 

You may also be interested in a presentation on Vision Zero in Sweden and Denmark by city Traffic Engineer Matt Rodrigues at the same ATC meeting.  I've attached the meeting schedule.  Please feel free to forward this to others.

Hello,

I'm leading a walking tour to assess the potential for better bicycle and walking connections in the vicinity of the South Bank Path and the Willamette River between downtown and the Knickerbocker Bridge including:

+Connecting the multi-use path under the Ferry St. bridge to 5th Ave.
+Creating a connection from Alder St. bikeway to the river and 5th Ave.
+Sidewalk improvements near the Franklin Blvd. millpond
+Assessing the potential for extending the South Bank path from Autzen to Knickerbocker bridges

I'm organizing this tour as a member of the city's Active Transportation Committee (formerly known as the BPAC, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee) but anyone who is interested is welcome.  Please feel free to invite others.

Friday, September 30, 5pm
Meet at the corner of 5th and High

We will walk about two miles total.  I will move the tour along so we will be back between 6:30 and 7:00p.  Bring a rain coat or umbrella as there's a slight chance of rain in the forecast.

Let me know if you have any questions.
