Portland Bike/Ped Advisory Committee meets tonight

The city's bike and pedestrian advisory committee meets on the second Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall room 209 (that's upstairs, just to your left as you get to the top of the grand staircase at the front entrance).

I'm being taken out of town on a business trip, so tonight's meeting will be chaired by Jen Claster. Among the topics of discussion this month:

• Implementing the city's new "complete streets" policy
• How to get better, sheltered bike racks at the Portland Transportation Center
• The Libbytown study (you can find more background material, including concept sketches, on the city's website).
