Wish I had more time to read it all, and all the comments.

I do worry that the no right turn on red lights is going to add significantly to car traffic congestion, causing anger.

I've seen the city do things that add to traffic congestion. (allowing parking in intersections thereby blocking traffic lanes, curb extensions creating bottlenecks (look at the pending project at 12th avenue NB at Clay - it is creating a bottleneck, and narrowing Clay, making that interseciton more dangerous, in my opinion. A narrower street more backed up wtih traffic is not safer for bicyclists or drivers. Look also at how garbage trucks exiting the alley at that intersection will have to drive over the sidewalk to exit the alley and make a right turn on this one way street - real smart design guys).

Congestion isn't just the worry of car drivers who are in a huff to get where they want conveniently. It is a quality of life/livability issue and it is a safety issue in some ways also. Further, it makes movement of freight and the economy in general slow down. If it takes me longer to get my work done due to traffic, the client pays. if it takes longer to move freight, the customer pays.

And no, I am not saying that it is worth taking lives or hurting people to keep motor traffic moving. I just think it needs consideration, or this city will hamstring itself as to the vast majority of people and freight movement.

My input on the tax thing is simply that it is a minor issue and bike improvements are clearly needed. Do we separately tax pedestrians for curb cuts and sidewalks? of course not. And a valid public policy argument can be made for encouraging bike use by investing in infrastructure.

I just think careful thought needs to go into what is done at each intersection.

Good luck figuring this stuff out. I hope nothing PDOT does makes things worse - as I have seen elsewhere - for all users.
