@wilsonxcassie @familyride And before closing this historic #betternaito thread we want to recognize the former @NovickOR and @PBOTinfo staffer who jumped on this wild idea right from the start. @timurender1! Missed you today Timur! Thanks for believing in this!
When I first talked to @wilsonxcassie (left) at the event she said she hadn’t used #betternaito yet and was a bit intimidated to use her scooter on the street, even with the protective curb. But guess who gave it a try? (Always nice to have a friend @familyride for support!) 👍
Today is official opening ceremony for the new protected lanes on Naito Parkway 🎉🎉 #BetterNaito
ICYMI, here are photos, a ride-along video and first impressions from @Jonathan_Maus >> bikeportland.org/2022/05/05/first-look-at...

"We need to immediately implement a quick-build network w/ in 2 yrs as a proof of concept." - rep for @BetterBlockPDX (the folks who brought us #betternaito)
There's global precedent for this...do entire network on low budget to show impact ASAP. #ccimpdx
Unless my eyes deceive me @PBOTinfo has quietly yet decisively pushed back on @tedwheeler and @PDX_BizAlliance idea for #BetterNaito by saying they'll put a protected bikeway in the street b/w Salmon & Couch. earlier plan was drivers wd have 2 lanes NB to Morrison Bridge
