"Some of this was spurred by an article on BikePortland. I think because all the information wasn’t out there, it created confusion and immediately people went into action thinking this decision had been made because project team had put out a recommendation..."

Yes, and people rightfully responded to staff making a worse-for-everyone #carBrained recommendation!

Facing public and board pressure, TriMet walks back 82nd Ave bus lane decision

"We are switching paths," says one high level TriMet staffer.

Why are we still keeping and rebuilding #stroads reserving 5 lanes for cars while the bus is stuck in traffic and the bikeway network is scheduled for completion in about 200 years, #Portland? #82ndAve, Broadway, everywhere they spend federal money counting the cars and then adding a bit extra to decide how many lanes are "required". The number should be half of what you count because our #VisionZero and #ClimateAction plans say we want bikes, transit, and walking to replace half of car trips.
