1 Oak/Stark Streets - Buffered Bike Lanes Buffered bike lanes provide additional maneuvering space for bicyclists. These buffered bike lanes are along a highly-used commuter route and connect to Waterfront Park . A lane of traffic was removed to provide these lanes.
2 Broadway Cycle Track This 7’ bike lane in Portland State University is located between parked cars and the sidewalk. A painted buffer separates people exiting vehicles from cyclists, and a bike box aids cyclists making left-hand turns.
3 Madison Avenue Bike Box & Hawthorne Bridge Bicycles comprise 21% of traffic on the Hawthorne bridge. The bike box minimizes conflicts with right-turning cars for cyclists accessing the bridge. A green bike lane and flashing signal increase visibility for eastbound cyclists on the Hawthorne bridge through a high-conflict area.
4 Eastbank Esplanade The Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade is 1.5 miles long, with a 1,200’-foot long floating walkway, the longest in the U.S. It receives high year-round use from commuter and recreational cyclists, pedestrians, and users of all types.
5 Interstate Avenue & Oregon Street Scramble Signal Scramble signals provide a simultaneous “All Red” phase for motorists and a green phase dedicated for bicycle/ pedestrian movements, enabling non-motorized users to cross an intersection using their desired travel path.
6 Rose Quarter Bidirectional Bike Lane A bidirectional colored bike lane provides contra flow travel through the Rose Quarter, reducing conflicts between bicyclists and buses, and overcoming a key north-south barrier in the bicycle network. Tacoma DIRT Tour of Portland Bikeways
Williams Avenue Bicycle-Oriented 7 Development Bike lanes on the Vancouver/Williams couplet accommodate volumes of nearly 3,000 bikes/day. This popular commercial corridor is home to several restaurants, cafes, and bicycle-oriented businesses, as well as a bicycle-oriented development project. On-street bicycle parking maintains wide sidewalks for customers.
Going Bicycle Boulevard & MLK Crossing 8 Treatments One of Portland’s newest bicycle boulevards, Going Street required minimal improvements to act as a high-quality corridor. Treatments at the unsignalized crossing of MLK Jr. Boulevard include new medians and a “crossbike.”
Hollywood MAX Bicycle/Pedestrian 9 Overcrossing This overcrossing through a transit centers provides a crucial north-south connection over I-84. Narrow ramps are challenging to navigate, but wheel gutters aid bicyclists bringing bicycles up the stairs.
10 41st Avenue and Burnside Street HAWK Signal A High Intensity Activated Walk (HAWK) signal is used to facilitate bicycle crossings of a busy arterial without stopping the arterial when bicyclists are not present. The separate push-buttons for cyclists and pedestrians allow the signal to provide the appropriate crossing time for different user types, minimizing waiting time.
11 Stark Street Bike Left Turn Lane The 40’s Bikeway crosses Stark Street at an offset intersection. Cyclists can cross one lane of travel and wait for a traffic gap in the dedicated center turn lane, minimizing waiting time to cross this busy arterial.
12 Belmont Avenue Bioswale Curb Extension Bioswale curb extensions manage stormwater runoff, are attractive streetscape elements, and place cyclists crossing Belmont Avenue further in the street, increasing sightlines with drivers on Belmont. High-visibility pedestrian crossing signs further improve this crossing. Tacoma DIRT Tour of Portland Bikeways
13 41st Avenue at Hawthorne Boulevard Bicycle-Actuated Push Button At a half-signal intersection, low volume side streets are controlled by stop signs and high volume arterials have priority unless the signal is actuated by a pedestrian or bicyclist attempting to cross the arterial.
14 Lincoln Street and 39th Avenue Diverter To minimize auto traffic on the bicycle boulevard, drivers are forced to turn onto Cesar Chavez. Bicyclists can continue straight through on a contraflow lane adjacent to a bike box.
15 Harrison Street and 20th Avenue Diverter The concrete diverter blocks motor vehicle access while allowing bicycle traffic to continue through openings in the diverter. The diverter maintains low vehicle volumes on this bicycle boulevard.
16 12th Avenue Crossing Treatments Combined with curb extensions, a stop bar for cyclists increases the visibility of cyclists waiting to cross a street. Pavement markings and signage encourage drivers to stop for cyclists, despite the unsignalized crossing.
17 Morrison Bridge Cycle Track A two-way bicycle facility on the north side of the Morrison Bridge provides an alternative to crossing interstate on-ramps. Treatments on both ends of the facility are required to increase visibility of cyclists traveling against the flow of traffic.
18 Waterfront Esplanade & Naito Bike Lanes The Esplanade is a popular recreational and transportation facility. Recent parallel bike lanes on Naito have separated faster-moving commuter cyclists from families and visitors, minimizing conflicts between users.
