Planning for new ‘earthquake ready’ Burnside Bridge reaches milestone
Hopefully we fix or replace it before it falls down.
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. Thanks for your patience and understanding. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor

One side is better, the other side is worse.
Prepare to share the paths.
Small but cool.
Things will be tight on the Burnside Bridge for two years.
Dozens of volunteers are now meeting weekly to plan temporary human-friendly makeovers of Northeast Broadway and the Burnside Bridge.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Just 750 feet between bike lane and bike lane.
Developer Jeff Pickhardt said he envisions a curb cut facing the curve of Couch Street that would let people on bikes roll into the plaza.
Why does the Burnside Bridge need three eastbound lanes when it has only two lanes westbound?
Enough is enough.
One possibility being discussed: converting one or more of the bridge decks to biking or walking traffic.
