re:

One item mentioned in an earlier comment was to dump bubble curbs. I TOTALLY AGREE! Also known as curb extensions, these bubble curbs waste taxpayer paid transportation dollars and are harmful to the environment. When busses stop in travel lanes for passengers at these extended curbs, they create artificial congestion and require motorists to use more fuel with longer engine idle times that adds to global warming. That makes Tri-Met one of the responsible parties for global warming. The curb extensions are also unsafe. I have personally observed an accident take place where a car was trapped under a semi-truck trailer because the truck had to make a right turn from the left turn lane to clear the curb extension.
