As a follow up to our story a few weeks ago about Multnomah County’s project to remove the rumble strips and revamp the bus stop/bike lane on the westbound approach to the Hawthorne Bridge, I just got an email update on the project from our friends at Multnomah County…
I wanted to update you on our project on the westbound Hawthorne Bridge ramp, where we have widened the bus stop above SE Water Ave. The concrete work at the bus stop is done and the bus stop has reopened. We are waiting for supplies and dry weather to complete the pavement striping and lay down about 40 feet of ADA raised bump pads along the curb edge at the bus stop. When those tasks are completed we will remove the speed humps in the bike lane approaching the shared use raised path and bus stop. All this work should be completed in November.
