BikeLoudPDX Event: Why Parking Matters To People Biking (And Everyone Else)

April 15, 2016 By TonyJ Leave a Comment

Join us on Tuesday, April 19th from 6:30-9:30PM, downstairs,  at Velocult Bike Shop (1969 NE 42nd Ave, Portland) for a conversation about upcoming parking policy, Shoupian theory, and  convincing arguments about why you should care about car parking policy no matter what your issue is.

From BikeLoudPDX’s event announcement:Parking Lot

On the surface, car parking doesn’t seem very relevant to people who bike. But the hidden prices of parking include less room for bike lanes, higher costs in housing, and more incentive to drive everywhere. Portland is poised to drastically change the way it manages its parking with innovative new ideas and technology. Join BikeLoudPDX and PDX Shoupistas’ Tony Jordan and Kathryn Doherty-Chapman for an informative presentation and talk about upcoming parking reforms and why they’re just as important for active transportation as driving.

You can find more information, and RSVP on the Facebook event.

Parking Wonk Night: Tuesday 3/29 6-9PM

March 25, 2016 By TonyJ 1 Comment

Join us next Tuesday, March 29th from 6-9PM at the downtown Portland offices of Lancaster Engineering for  a BikePortland Wonk Night featuring “Parking Superheroes.”

Lancaster Engineering’s offices are located at 321 SW 4th Ave #400, Portland, OR. Parking Lot

Momentum is building around parking policy changes here in Portland and there should be lots to talk about:

  • the upcoming residential parking permit program (RPP)
  • PBOT’s timeline for progressive pricing at meters
  • the, initially, successful efforts to prevent new minimum parking requirements in NW Portland
  • PDC’s 26 Million Dollar valet parking garage, built with urban renewal money
  • the Central Eastside Industrial District’s permit price hikes
  • which mayoral candidate is the best informed on the parking issue?
  • and more…

It sounds like there will be a great group of folks present to answer questions, present information, and just help the conversation along:

  • Chris Smith from the Planning and Sustainability Commission
  • Joe Cortright from CityObservatory
  • Your’s truly, Tony Jordan from Portland Shoupistas
  • Brian Davis from Lancaster Engineering
  • City staff are very likely to attend as well
  • Most importantly, YOU and other Shoupistas!

You can read more at the BikePortland event page or on the Facebook event page.  Drinks and snacks will be provided.

Hope to see you there!
