"The transportation secretary also recommended $39 million for the CRC as a gesture of support for the program." http://t.co/4fZ97tPq #

PBOT has allocated $250,000 in 2012-2013 budget to bring their first generation bikeblvds up to the current Neighborhood Greenway standard. #

That last gem nestled inside recent article on @BikePortland : http://t.co/nEFmIikw #

I was wondering if/when PBOT was going to prioritize improvements to older bike blvds, which are generally just side streets with sharrows. #
