Planning for new ‘earthquake ready’ Burnside Bridge reaches milestone
Hopefully we fix or replace it before it falls down.
4/25: Hello readers and friends. I'm still recovering from a surgery I had on 4/11, so I'm unable to attend events and do typical coverage. See this post for the latest update. I'll work as I can and I'm improving every day! Thanks for all your support 🙏. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor

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.
