Leadership Portland Impact Project Team Sees Efforts Implemented
Lloyd District Bike Parking Expansion Project Opens 54 Covered Spots
Leadership Portland’s Impact Project Team The Wheelies formed in September 2009 to enhance Portland transportation. They focused on relieving Lloyd District congestion through better bicycle parking. The group teamed up with the Lloyd Transportation Management Authority (Lloyd TMA) to identify ideal locations before partnering with the Doubletree Hotel to install new covered, secure, and well-lit bike parking spaces, open to public use, on Doubletree property. The group met with Lloyd TMA staff, negotiated funding, and coordinated installation of 31 bicycle racks and public signage. The group also developed surveys, letters, and a step-by-step process Lloyd TMA will use to site more bike parking corrals.

The Wheelies team members are: Bob Gravely, Jennifer Boe, Jason Brauser, Kaleb Miller, Lance Poehler
