Update: 2009 Portland Farmers Market: Video, Pictures & Updates

This Thursday, September 27th, is the last day that the twilight farmers markets at Eastbank and Ecotrust will be happening this year. Both markets open for business at 3:30 pm and tear down starting at 7:30 pm.

So before you put your cute on and head up to Alberta for Last Thursday festivities, stop by one of the markets to load up on the best available fresh, local, organic produce, small-batch cheeses and artisan baked items, because I'm sure you've noticed that the mercury has been inching stealthily down and that means Portlandia's six-month social hibernation is imminent…

From PortlandOnline's SmartTrips/Commuter Central blog:

Read the Blog – Win Free Pizza

Here's a great chance to earn free Hot Lips Pizza!  Simply answer these four questions (all answers can be found here on the blog) and submit them here (SmartTripsDowntown@pdxtrans.org). We'll select three winners!

 

1.Which number do you call for downtown traffic alerts?

 

2. How many tickets do you need to buy to ride the entire streetcar loop all day long?

 

3. By simply walking to the bus or train, how much more likely is a transit rider to achieve 30 minutes of daily exercise than a car commuter?

 

4. How long does a three-mile bike commute at a no-sweat, 10 mph pace take? (hint: think fried dough…)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd like a large pizza, hold the CO₂

PS. I am a member of their email list/RSS feed and I ordered the Smart Trips packet=changed my life.

Go over there check out what they are doing.

Sent over from Michelle at BTA:

BTA Friends,

You have an opportunity to speak up for bike safety in your neighborhood on Monday.

Commissioner Sam Adams is holding open houses around Portland to ask residents what their traffic priorities are. If you care about the ease, safety and enjoyment of bike riding, please go and say so!

Neighborhood Open House

Monday, Sept 24th, 7:00-9:00 pm

St. Philip Neri Church, Carvlin Hall

2408 SE 16th Ave (north of Division)

For more information about Commissioner Adams's “Safe and Sound Streets” effort to fund and enact transportation improvements in Portland, visit the PDOT website or www.commissionersam.com. The BTA is working to support Safe and Sound Streets, and to ensure that bicycle improvements are part of the program.

Please go – it makes a huge difference!

Michelle

Thank You Michelle!
