City says bike lanes on 82nd Ave ‘infeasible’ due to impacts on bus and car drivers
Bike lanes not possible, “due to substantial trade-offs including significantly increased transit delay.”
Note: I'm currently on a family trip and not working normal hours. Email and message responses will be delayed and story and posting volumes here and on our social media accounts will not be at their usual levels until I return to Portland September 4th.

Bike lanes not possible, “due to substantial trade-offs including significantly increased transit delay.”
Too expensive, too risky, say city and county leaders.
Some might think they worked as intended.
This one checks almost all the boxes.
A helpful analysis. Now we just need to get a few of them on the ground.
Have your say.
It will bring the total up to 18 hardened or signalized crossings along the two-mile stretch.
‘Rest on red’ is the latest tool used by PBOT to slow drivers down.
A fantastic addition, but a seamless ride to the airport is still a dream.
These have come a long way in just a few years.
The question remains: If bikes are such a clear possibility now, why weren’t they at the outset of the planning process?
Federal money and a PBOT paving project have lined up to create a golden opportunity.
