More space for biking, less space for driving outside Markham School in southwest Portland. (Photos: City of Portland)
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

Turning this lane to right-turn only could make driving safer and free up room for continuous bike lanes.
We can make a lot of big improvements to our streets using nothing but paint.
The seven-foot bike lanes with five-foot buffers will be possibly the widest in the city.
Redesigning Barbur might pay off, considering the economic cost of injuries and deaths.
Converting a northbound traffic lane to two protected bike lanes would apparently prevent unsafe weaving without massive impacts to morning traffic.
One of the least-understood tricks in traffic engineering has a big payoff.
