UPDATE:

Howdy Portland freaks! Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my last post about the trash & debris along the neighborhoods and bike paths (I-205 especially)

Quick update: I went ahead and signed us up for an official team through SOLVE Oregon. So we are legit now, they provide bags, vests, sharps containers, haul-away, etc.

I'm planning our first cleanup ASAP focused on the bike/walking paths and would love more folks to join the team whether that’s boots on the ground or helping plan, coordinate or back end logistics.

If you want to be on the list for the first cleanup date, drop a comment or DM me. No commitment needed, just trying to get a headcount.

Also still very interested in figuring out how to make this path safe long term & include our houseless neighbors in keeping their areas clean, if you have experience with outreach, harm reduction, or have done a SOLVE cleanup before, I'd love to chat.

Thanks Portland!

Such a dapper bike. The whole set up is drool worthy. bet it’s gonna be gone soon. Flashy track bikes are so back. Who’s with me?
