Here's some interesting history about the Rose City Park Neighborhood. Stop along Tillamook Street next to the Rose City Park Golf Course and you may be able to hear the long-faded roar of pounding hoofbeats. Built in 1908, trotters, thoroughbreds, motorcycles and Model T's raced around the oval course. The Tillamook Project presents bike maintenance demonstrations and hands-on practice at the Fix It Fair, an event of the City of Portland's Energy Office. A Bicycle Lane is a portion of the roadway designated for exclusive or preferential use by bicyclists in urban areas.
Bicycle lanes are appropriate on most urban arterials and collector streets.
Bicycle lanes must always be well marked to call attention to their preferential use by bicyclists. Traffic calming devices are used to control traffic speeds and discourage through trips by motor vehicles. The Steering Committee is interested in your ideas about improving Tillamook for bicycles and pedestrians. They also would like to know what you like about your neighborhood and any interesting neighborhood facts that could be incorporated into the project. Finally, please suggest any organizations or individuals who might be interested in the project so we can contact them.
