Talk about a lot of money for bicycles! The more people that get out of their cars, the more livability will improve and hopefully improved air quality. <\/p><p>The city of Portland has already committed to spending $20 million this year for bike boulevards. Portland is taking some cool steps toward making travel via bike more safe and easy. The newly implemented techniques in the video below show how the city is taking steps to improve the experience for cyclists and drivers. The greenest city in America has also installed several \"swales\" alongside many city streets to filter street water run off, which also double as barriers between pedestrians and auto traffic. Implementations like these are only a few of the strategies Portland has taken to make alternative travel fun and safe for even those who are new to biking in the city. Along with the title of Greenest City in America Portland has claimed the #1 spot for most bicycle friendly city in the nation.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/10559007\">On the Right Track<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user1095845\">Mayor Sam Adams<\/a> on Vimeo.<\/p><p>Thoughts, Comments, Questions...<\/p><div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php\" title=\"Bookmark using any bookmark manager!\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/add74_bookmark.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Add This Social Bookmark Button\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/pGwO\" rel=\"alternate\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/add74_feed-icon16x16.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/pGwO\" rel=\"alternate\">Subscribe in a reader<\/a><\/div><div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theenvironmentalblog.org\/atom.xml\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.theenvironmentalblog.org\/atom.xml<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/add74_1699038716958250363-3235847754612435681?l=www.theenvironmentalblog.org\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portland, Oregon is leading the nation with a 2030 master bike plan that calls to spend up to $600 MILLION!
