A new bike traffic circle has bloomed near the Lloyd District.

A new bike traffic circle has bloomed near the Lloyd District.
The Lloyd District just got a lot more bike-friendly.
The 24-hour facility will offer service from on-site mechanics, paid lockers, showers, a bike-repair stand, cargo bike parking and a bike wash.
New store along a major bikeway will open with a bike parade, a bike raffle, and a bike repair station.
This powerful public planning organization will have a vested interest in maintaining and increasing future auto capacity.
An eight-figure bet that driving to the Rose Quarter area is going to remain popular for decades.
There aren’t many ways that a new six-story $13 million parking garage subsidized by a health care company is good news.
With the building 80% occupied, bike parking is already spilling into an empty retail space.
The city is rapidly writing the plans. The question is when and whether anyone will actually build them.
The district that might have been can tell us a lot about the districts we want to build today.
“Other cities are passing us up because they realize that it attracts young people, the lifeblood of a city’s future.”
In 20 years, this seems likely to be the single most important hub of bicycling in the United States.
