scale matters
Terry, you poke around without actual numbers.
Fact is, the City's been spending less than $1 million a year on bike infrastructure. Compare that to the $400+ million of the Safe, Sound & Green initiative, and you find yourself about $399 million short. Or compare that to the $32 million Columbia-Lombard interchange just completed.
So even if you gut all the efforts to serve the 140,000+ Portlanders who can't drive, you can't fund the maintenance backlog.
