Safe, sound, and green plan
Dear Commissioner Adams,
The Rose Quarter Improvements will add a traffic signal and roadway striping to accommodate two-way, separated bike passage on NE Wheeler. They will also re-route buses so that there is reduced chance of bike/bus conflict. These are extremely important improvements for a transit hub that lies along a major regional bike route. The project will also improve pedestrian pathways and crosswalks, and ADA compliant access at the transit center. Please include the Rose Quarter Transit Center Multi-Modal Safety and Access Improvements in your "Safe, Sound and Green" plan -- the Lloyd District is in great need of the significant benefits this project will bring. I personally witness everyday near collisions between bikes, pedestrians, buses, and cars in this area. I believe the situation is getting worse with the increase in gas prices and increased ridership of the max. Thank you, Nancy
