This group is for discussing issues related to bicycling in SW Portland, Oregon, including (but not limited to) safety, improving bicycling options, routes, events, etc.
Currently the SW Trails group is working with the City of Portland to identify potential Bicycle Boulevards, trails, bike lanes, etc. for SW Portland. We conducted a series of “ground truthing” and route planning rides in July and August, 2007. Visit the SW Bicycling Routes page for more information, including a downloadable map of proposed routes.

SWTrails is pleased to present Bicycle Facilities Strategy to Reach Platinum Status in Southwest Portland.
This comprehensive facilities recommendation is the culmination of a 1 ½-year effort including community reconnaissance rides, selection and evaluation of potential bicycle routes, two public open houses, and development of priorities. The strategy represents a departure from the current Bicycle Master Plan by shifting the emphasis from bike lanes on major streets to a bicycle boulevard concept focused on low traffic streets. Filling gaps in the existing system is also emphasized.
