Portland to launch $10 million Bike Lane Maintenance Program this summer
Keeping bike lanes clean is a vital part of keeping bike lanes popular.
6/25: Hello readers and friends. I recently had my second (of two) total knee replacement surgeries so I'll be out of commission for a bit while I recover. Please be patient while I get back to full health. I hope to be back to posting as soon as I can. I look forward to getting back out there. 🙏. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor
Keeping bike lanes clean is a vital part of keeping bike lanes popular.
It’s either this or impassable bike lanes.
One problem is hard and we finally figured it out. The other is easy and just takes a bit of hard work.
If they don’t sweep, they don’t cycle.
Effort and ingenuity are coming together to clean Portland streets.
Post-storm impacts will linger and be even more dangerous for road users who aren’t inside cars.
The latest prototype will be tested by a local nonprofit and available for loans.
Are robot bike lane sweepers really that far behind?
Is there a plowing technique that could help avoid this in the future?
This puts an end to 10 months of negotiations between the union and the city.
Local 483 leaders say nothing will change until maintenance employees are respected.
