Bicycling the new ODOT diverter and protected intersections

[Rachel Schwindt]

Hey everyone, I did a few laps around the new protected intersections on NW Harrison at 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Streets. The construction wasn't complete when I rode it a couple days ago, and I accidentally rode onto the sidewalk the first time turning onto NW Harrison from 2nd (which incidentally worked out because a runner was in the bike lane), but overall the new infrastructure has created a much safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists. 

Also, the diverter at NW 2nd and Tyler finally has permanent signs in the middle. Hopefully that should prevent most drivers from attempting illegal left turns over the top of the diverter.

My only gripe is that 4th street from NW Tyler to Harrison does not have much of a bike lane. But I'm happy to see these safety upgrades. I encourage everyone to try out the new infrastructure!

Thank you, Rachel!

These are helpful pictures and notes.

Interestingly, I was out and about yesterday riding these same locations but did not stop and take pictures. I'm glad you did!
