Help Bikes & Pedestrians Co-Exist Safely at Mt. Tabor Park.

There are increasing concerns about high speeds and close
calls at Mt. Tabor Park - especially on Wednesdays when
the park is closed to automobiles and the road is turned over
to cyclists and pedestrians. There's room for both - we just
want it to be safe and fun for everyone.
Your help is needed to solve the problem!
Join Portland Parks and Recreation, the Portland Office of
Transportation
and the Southeast Precinct Police Bicycle Patrol to
discuss safety concerns and brainstorm possible solutions.
Mt. Tabor Park, Covered Picnic Shelter
(across from the playground and restrooms)
Wednesday, July 18
5:30pm Snacks
6:00pm Meeting Starts
Cyclists and walkers are highly encouraged to attend.
The perspectives and ideas of both user groups are important.
(Note: July 18 is a Wednesday, when the park is closed to motorized
traffic.
If coming by car, the closest parking can be found outside the 69th Ave
entrance to the park. A shuttle van will run between SE Yamhill/69th and
the picnic area for any who need assistance. Last shuttle leaves at
6pm.)
For information, contact Doug Brenner, Portland Parks &
Recreation East Portland Zone Manager, 503 823-5255
