Do these contractors have to be local?  Seems like that would be a good idea to get jobs to people in Portland.

In terms of safety, I wish that there was more focus on biker's responsibility for ensuring safety. I bike and walk to SE from downtown at dark and always see people without lights, without helmets and sometimes, without breaks.  If Portland is going to be a successful bike City, there must be new laws or enforcement of laws requiring lights.  A tragic accident doesn't only impact the biker, but everyone involved.
