Walk & Bike to School & Work Week Kickoff (RSVP to 8:30 AM Kickoff here!)

When: 8:30 a.m. 

Where: The steps of Portland City Hall (1221 SW 4th Ave)

Who, Why, What: We want YOU there! We will kick off with a Walk & Bike to School & Work Week Proclamation from Mayor Keith Wilson. There will be friends, donuts, and even fun mascots! There is a lot happening in the world and in the city right now. Let’s come together to celebrate walking and biking to school and work, and then share an actionable vision for making our roads safer for everyone.

When: 9:30 a.m. Just before 9:30 a.m., we will head in together to City Hall

Where: Council Chambers for the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee (inside City Hall). 

Who, Why, What: We want YOU there! Councilor Koyama Lane will be bringing forward a Resolution on Vision Zero (eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries). We know that walking/rolling, biking, and transit are the MOST joyful, healthy, connecting, and cost-efficient ways to get around our city. Yet ten years into Portland’s commitment to Vision Zero, we still have a long way to go to ensure that walking/rolling/biking are safe, attractive, and convenient for everyone. We can get there, together.

Weekly Roundup

Roseway Heights Middle School Visit

I got to fill up my cup by visiting Roseway Heights Middle School this week! I walked around this amazing school and stayed after the bell rang to peek at the SUN (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods) program. I left feeling very inspired. A group of kiddos performed their step routine for me that they’ve been working hard on. From academic support to after-school enrichment, this program is a POWERFUL example of how we can invest in our students and build stronger communities. These programs provide wraparound services and are foundational for both students and their families. Cheers to the dedicated staff and partners who make it all happen and care for our kids!

Community Engagement

There were a lot of chances for community engagement this past week with a town hall, a constituent coffee, and several days of council work sessions. Thank you to everyone who has shown up to give public testimony, written an email, called my office, or come to an event. Community engagement drives democracy! Your voice is valuable, appreciated, and being heard! Please continue to stay engaged!
