Bikes were repaired, flat tires fixed
and chains adjusted. And some
learning on traffic safety was instilled.
Hundreds of children in a North Port
land neighborhood got in on a traffic safety
fair in North Portland last Wednesday and

They left knowing more about safety on

Nearly 300 children received donated
new bicycle safety helmets and others were
able to get some needed repairs done on their
bikes without cost.
The event, on the parking lot at E & M

St., was sponsored by the Portland Office of
Transportation's Traffic Management Bu
reau and Portland Police.
