Thoughts on Portland’s bike movement; past, present, and future
“The fact is, Portland has largely built its bicycling infrastructure on non-controversial, inexpensive projects that squeeze bike facilities into current right-of-ways without inconveniencing drivers.”
–Scott Cohen, PSU adjunct professor and member of the Multnomah County Bike/Ped Citizen’s Advisory Committee
The other day I came across an interesting post on Scott Cohen’s Transportation History blog, and it got me thinking about where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going in terms of Portland’s bicycle movement.
Cohen, who teaches courses on bicycles and transportation issues at Portland State University and is a member of the Multnomah County Bicycle and Pedestrian Citizen’s Advisory Committee, was on a ride recently and reflected on the past and future of Portland’s bikeway network,
“We undoubtedly have come a long way in building a comprehensive bike network since 1990 (see below), but we have a long, long way to go. For example, our bikeway network includes miles of bike lanes along Highway 30 from NE 11th to NE 178th and many more miles on the west side, from Northwest Portland to Linnton and beyond.
