Greenway and bike lanes coming to 60th Avenue corridor
PBOT will remove all on-street parking on this section of 60th to make room for buffered bike lanes.
The Portland Bureau of Transportation is poised to install bike lanes on a key section of Northeast 60th Avenue and create a neighborhood greenway in the Rose City Park neighborhood south of Alameda Ridge.
