Bike box, green lane and smooth pavement coming to SW Main
More paint and improved striping coming soon to SW Main.
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
More paint and improved striping coming soon to SW Main.
11 project areas will see improvements by 2020.
And it’ll be done by next year.
Remember the gas tax increase Portlanders voted in favor of back in May? Now the first project is ready to happen and PBOT is (rather wisely) adding some pomp and circumstance to it. Check the release below for an event in southeast Portland on Monday:

If the city delivers for east Portland, Jim Chasse says, maybe it’ll change its tune on taxes.
Here are three details worth noticing in the map above.
Ted Wheeler will lead Portland, and he’ll have some new money to play with too.
You might find this helpful in discussing it with friends and family.
If a $5-per-month gas tax sounds expensive, an auto-dependent city is costing us much, much more.
Guess what each one does for a living.
