Public records show city traffic engineer resisted attempts to remove diverters
“We cannot remove these planters — they are addressing bike crashes that were occurring at this location.”
🚨 Please note that BikePortland slows down during this time of year as I have family in town and just need a break! Please don't expect typical volume of news stories and content. I'll be back in regular form after the new year. Thanks. - Jonathan 🙏
“We cannot remove these planters — they are addressing bike crashes that were occurring at this location.”
It’s not just about the diverters.

It leaves a lot to be desired.
[The diverter] limits patrol access on the blocks between Northwest Everett and Glisan.
It didn’t have to be this way!
We will know more on Monday.
Council’s Vision Zero champion feels like the plans should pause.
Grassroots advocacy groups rallied troops with just a few hours notice.
“Keep kids safe. Keep this here,” reads one of the signs erected by diverter supporters.
The Mayor’s office has so far declined to comment.
