Ride in a Bike Bus
Hood River friends, wear yellow and show support for kids walking and biking to school. We will join hands to form a human bike lane and ride in a Bike Bus along 17th Street between Sherman and May Streets. We need to show that our children's safety, independence and health is important to us.
Despite 7 years of public engagement and planning efforts along with broad support by the City for a Safe Routes to School network, the bikeway on 17th is currently on pause because of the lack of leadership support at Hood River Middle School.
Megan Ramey is the Safe Routes to School Manager and Friday, September 19th, 2008 is a symbolic day for her role in this position. This is when she volunteered for the first ever Park(ing) Day in Boston, then ranked 5 worst in the world for biking. The event opened her eyes to the opportunities for community and health in the street space that is otherwise occupied for vehicle parking. It was exactly 1 year after this event, that her daughter was born on September 19th. Megan credits Park(ing) Day and her daughter's birth as her advocacy origin story. Join us as we celebrate Annika's 16th birthday and show our support for completing the 17th Street Bikeway as a critical piece of the City's Safe Routes to School network.

ABOUT PARK(ING) DAY
“Park(ing) day is a global, public, participatory project where people across the world temporarily repurpose curbside parking spaces and convert them into public parks and social spaces to advocate for safer, greener, and more equitable streets for people.
A celebration of small, joyful disruptions….we’re inviting neighbors, artists, and activists to reclaim a patch of curb and reimagine it as a site of resistance—not through confrontation, but through creativity.”
