09 May 07 Bicycle Master Plan back in.

Just thought I would follow up on this one. After an amazing out pouring of support from the Portland biking community and the Mayor finding a magical 2 million more dollars for his budget.. The Platinum Bicycle Master Plan is going to be funded. bikeportland.org has more HERE

I also got a “thoughtful” email from the “Mayor”

Greetings:

You are receiving this email in response to your concerns that the Platinum Bicycle Master Plan was not included in Mayor Potter’s initial proposed budget.

The City’s Office of Management and Finance has reported an additional (and unexpected) $2 million in revenue for FY 06-07. This gives Mayor Potter the opportunity to fund several important projects that were not included in the initial proposed budget. This will include the Platinum Bicycle Master Plan. Please read the attached memo for more details.

I appreciate your interest.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Van Keuren

Office of Mayor Tom Potter

Good Job to everyone who made the effort!!
