One could probably take the sidewalk going the other way, but more slowly and/or at more risk of drivers pulling in and out without expecting. Would be nice if #trafficEngineers had some infrastructure ideas besides painting a bike lane between two truck lanes. #BarburBlvd #odotGTFOpdx
bike lane sweeper almost hitting the curb and bumping into a plastic flex-post that's set over 1ft inside the bike lane, where cars are given multiple wide lanes
I hope they find the traffic Engineer who did this ๐ #pdxBikes #BarburBlvd #paintIsNotProtection #verticalPaint #plastic
#BikeLaneSweeper's some #BarburBlvd #ODOTGTFOpdx #pdxBikes 10.7 miles +806ft Barbur from the woods to Cap Hwy, Cap Hwy to the village, 26th, Spring Garden, Terwilliger from Taylors Ferry through Himes Park
The nuts on #BarburBlvd, for once I don't just mean the drivers. #pdxBikes #BikeLaneSweeper #ODOTGTFOpdx

Roughly the worst moment of that hour, #ODOTGTFOpdx #BarburBlvd approaching 19th, unchanged since the van-on-pedestrian fatality here in 2020. At least the trees are trimmed back from the "share the road" sign today ๐ #pdxBikes #BikeTooter Come on my ride [โฆ]

elevation profile of Barbur Blvd to SW Terwilliger from E Burnside
*mostly* flat (+446ft) #BikeTooter #BarburBlvd #pdxBikes
dusty lens but clearly a van with ladders on top at 19th and Barbur where there is no bike lane
same van in traffic on Barbur approaching Terwilliger, where the bike lane is between a freeway offramp/slip lane and thru traffic, because cars are fast
more sharing 19th, and a dozen blocks later, I'm sweeping at like 9mph, but you know cars are fast #SeeYouAtTheNextLight #BarburBlvd
#BikeLaneSweeper #ASMR #BarburBlvd How is even the new asphalt so dirty? #ODOTGTFOpdx #stroads
