@BarbChamberlain an example of the actual conditions we're dealing with: https://urbanists.social/@enobacon/110443660522214889

Cars are given 2 extra freeway lanes & people are left with scraps. The idea that we need to have a bake sale for a protected bike lane and concrete sidewalk "#CompleteStreets" so as not to disrupt the #carSupremacy is why #Portland's #SWcorridor plan failed. Without operational priority on a #mobilityLaneNetwork, #transit is politically & practically infeasible.
