Another idea: What if a strip of bumps were placed where the white paint is, so cars would be warned if they cross it, instead of putting bumps in what should be the bike lane?

That sure is a bizarre stretch of road. I hope they get around to fixing it.

This does not surprise me. Beaverton. I would not be surprised to see a house that is nothing but a garage.

Thanks JohnO, that is a great video!

I love the quote:

“We cannot continue to deceive ourselves, thinking that to paint a little line on a road is a bikeway. A bicycle way which is not safe for an eight year old is not a bicycle way.”

“Why do schools even need parking spaces for students? Students should all live close enough to walk, and tax payers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize parking for kids rich enough to buy cars.”

Agreed. Plus, high schoolers driving only causes problems.
