Jerry,



In my opinion the biggest issue facing a master plan is increasing the ability

for people to commute safely from the West to East of vice versa. Specifically

there is no safe roads or bike paths for people who are going over the hill. One

of the designated path is on hwy 26 and Sylvan. how safe and desirable is that?



One solution would be to create a bike path on the Leif Ericson "road" through

forest park. I know for some people this may detract Forest park but I believe it

could make the area more accessible to people and create a safe bike path that

people could use to safely commute. There are many examples of cities that have

created these types of paths including Eugene and many European cities.



It is great that Portland continues to win awards as a bike friendly city but the

majority of access for bikes is on the East side. With increasing growth on the

west side and roads that are running at full capacity it is time the city makes a

full commitment to alleviating the car traffic by increasing bike ridership. This

will only be done if there is a master plan that focuses on making it safe and

enjoyable for people to ride their bikes.



I would love to attend these types of meetings but it is a bit far away. I urge

people to get involved and make Portland a great place to live and ride your

bike.



merci

Brad
