PARK(ing) Day

Started in San Francisco in 2005, this event now happens all over the world on the third Friday in September. The idea is to take over a parking spot and replace it with a fun and functional public space where folks can hang out. The event shows people what’s possible when we allocate public right-of-way in a more humane way that puts people before car storage.

Learn more at MyParkingDay.org.

In Portland, PBOT offers permits and makes it easy to participate.

What’s wrong with Portland’s Bike Parking Code? Lots! What can be done to fix the code to preserve housing production? Lots!

Come hear from local and Bike Parking Expert, Paul Buchanan. Over the decade he’s been in the Bike Parking industry, he’s worked on solutions for individual home owners, business districts, HOAs, transportation demand management organizations, municipal transportation agencies, property managers and mostly new construction.

He has designed, developed and implemented bike rooms for 10s of 1000s of people’s bikes from Bellingham to San Diego with the need to meet local codes. Before Bike Parking, Paul worked as a municipal inspector enforcing housing, building and construction codes where he developed the skill to translate how municipal codes build out in the material world. Come ready to learn!”
