FINAL 2008-2011 STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM gap filled in. It is great for bikers and hikers. • Susan Bartel: Support for Transportation Enhancement Project Application -Columbia Slough Trail: M L King Jr Blvd - N Marine Drive. It provides a critical piece that connects many other miles - so commuting, recreation and health are available. It capitalizes on other investments in public spaces and amenities (Smith-Bybee Portland's Kelly Point Park, previ- ously constructed Marine Drive Slough and Peninsula Crossing trails). Complete the loop! • Kathryn Balogh: Support for Transportation Enhancement Project Application -Columbia Slough Trail: M L King Jr Blvd - N Marine Drive. I live in North Portland and ride my bike regularly, both recreationally and for commuting to work. I know first-hand how much safer biking is on designated trails and bike lanes. Plus, I love going to Smith & Bybee lakes. • Gordon Bussey: Support for Transportation Enhancement Project Application -Columbia Slough Trail: M L King Jr Blvd - N Marine Drive. To complete progress of trail on either side. To encourage recreational and healthy commutes. North and northeast Portland need these enhancements. • Robin Sullivan: Support for Transportation Enhancement Project Application -Columbia Slough Trail: M L King Jr Blvd - N Marine Drive. I commute to work on my bike. An op- tion to commute without vehicle traffic would be really nice. We need more bike trails in such abike-friendly city.
