Come learn about this effort at the PBOT Bicycle Lunch and Learn on Thursday, Feb. 19 at noon.  Jessica Horning, ODOT’s Region 1 Transit and Active Transportation Liaison,  and Karla Kingsley of Kittelson & Associates will be there to describe the project and to hear your ideas. 

And don’t forget to bring your lunch!
