Portland’s 2008 Bicycle Friendly Community Application

Portland's Spring 2008 application for the Platinum Level award is required reading for anyone in Fort Collins interested in seeing us win the Platinum Level Bicycle Friendly Community award: http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=194342


According to the League of American Bicyclists "Portland entered the program in 2003 at Gold and has worked . . . to achieve Platinum. Bicycle use in Portland has increased
by 144% since 2000, and they are experiencing double digit percentage growth annually
in their levels of cycling."


Fort Collins recieved the Silver level award in 2003. It has been renewed twice now for a total of six years at Silver (taking us through 2009).
