A portion of the Willamette River Greenway Trail that closed back in July 2010 has now been re-opened.

The managers of the McCormick Pier condos closed a segment of the path about midway between the Broadway and Steel Bridges after noticing surface cracks caused by erosion. The damaged area of the Greenway Trail fell under the responsibility of the McCormick Pier Condominium homeowners association (as per a 2002 agreement with Portland Parks & Recreation).

TriMet announces release date for open-source, multi-modal trip planner

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Screen grab of the current beta version.

On Friday, October 14th you can get a sneak peek at TriMet’s Portland Regional Trip Planner, which they bill as the “first open-source, multi-modal trip planner produced by a U.S. transit agency.”

Over three years in the making, TriMet’s new tool will function similarly to how you get trip directions on Google Maps; but unlike Google Maps, TriMet’s trip planner will let you plan trips that combine transit, walking and biking into a single itinerary. Making it even more attractive is the fact that it uses all open source technology through a partnership with OpenPlans.

Because of one powerful stakeholder, the future of a plan to improve bike access on NE Holladay Street through the Lloyd District hangs in the balance.

Last week I reported on significant progress for two of the three Lloyd District Bikeway Development projects: Crews have already begun striping the NE Wheeler Ave/Vancouver project and the Stakeholder Advisory Committee approved a plan to begin implementation of changes to the NE 12th Ave overcrossing.

But for the Holladay project — which would create a much-needed, low-stress, east-west bikeway corridor through the Lloyd District — the way forward is far from clear.
