#barburblvd

I'm having a hard time believing, not that a #transportation agency would come up with a plan that was to sweep the broken glass and gravel off of the sidewalks and leave it in the bike lanes for a few days before sweeping it up, just that it wasn't done with intentional malice or disdain toward people on bikes. (months after it snowed and they graveled everything while plowing the snow onto the sidewalks) #BarburBlvd #pdxBikes #Portland #BikeTooter #ClimateDenial #CarSupremacy #ODOTGTFOpdx

Continued thread

Here's an example from southwest Portland to Sherwood - 11.5 miles but 15.2mi by bike unless you're willing to bike on #BarburBlvd and similarly hostile conditions, then it's 11.5 and might take 45min or less with an e-bike / 28mph downhill through Tigard. Why can't the bus do it in 30? (Because nobody wants to bike on or around Barbur enough to allow for less-frequent stops or even express buses.)

driver who buzzed me with a load inches from my shoulder to #SeeYouAtTheNextLight and then get in my way on #BarburBlvd

IDGAF what economic conditions lead to poorly trained drivers hauling whatever subsidized corporate profit etc, make the right lane bus-only yesterday. There's a whole ass six-lane freeway like 100ft to the right of this lane.

what the google maps #pdxBikes

Yes, the bike lane drops on #BarburBlvd over Multnomah but it's also completely worn off by car traffic on the curve at the end of the offramp as drivers come around that at 70mph on their way to lake oswego... Take the Barbur bike lane past the Pancake House, Spring Garden off the top of the hill, recross i5 on 19th (giant amorphous / three car lanes, no bike lane 😡 for half a block) to old Multnomah & pop out back in the Barbur bike lane across from fred meyer.
