Boulevards for Bicycles
Roland Chlapowski
Some fear riding a bicycle on the city's arterial roads because too much automobile traffic can make them feel unsafe. Along with Portland's Office of Transportation staff, Sam is implementing a program to establish a network of "bicycle boulevards." This bicycle boulevard network guides cyclists on residential neighborhood streets with a combination of signs and road markings. The boulevards also minimize the number of stop signs that bicyclists encounter, allowing them to bike without being interrupted by numerous breaks.
