PBOT publishes new gravel clean-up map, says focus is on bike routes
Transparency is good. Now let’s see how fast they can finish the job.

Transparency is good. Now let’s see how fast they can finish the job.
Post-storm impacts will linger and be even more dangerous for road users who aren’t inside cars.
The good news is the issue is squarely on PBOT’s radar already.
Slowly but surely we’re digging out of this mess.
Shovels full of gravel coming up at 11.
Our road agencies must do better keeping bikeways free of debris.
Sweeping gravel feels as good as riding in a clean bike lane.
We need a change in policy and practice from the City of Portland
Related overtime cost the city about $100,000 or 14 percent of the total storm response.
10 days after the clean-up started, there’s still a ton of gravel on bikeways throughout Portland. It’s time for a check-in.
First snow then wind then rain then ice… And now, gravel. It’s everywhere. What are PBOT and ODOT doing about it?
