Dear Mayor Hales and Members of the Portland City Council,
We are a community of members who care about active, healthy, vibrant recreational opportunities. We believe Portland has the potential to become a recognized and acclaimed haven for off-road cycling.
To achieve that vision, we agree with Commissioner Amanda Fritz – it’s time for a citywide master plan for recreational cycling. In fact, we are decades overdue at this point.
Now is the time to fund a planning process for off-road cycling. We request that City Council designate $200,000 to launch us into that process.
It is past time to meet the overflowing demand for recreational cycling access.
Thank you for your consideration,
Northwest Trail Alliance & Friends
