You must not be very familiar with public transportation funding in Portland.
Posted by Chuck Garabedian]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2012 10:48:04 -0800 Portland Mercury I am also a bike rider who can no longer safely bike through the Woodlawn Triangle on Dekum.
And I am a Woodlawn resident who uses the park and frequents the businesses in the Triangle.

My opinion: this sucks. It is not as heinous as the practice of putting light rail and trolley tracks on bike routes. It is not as dangerous as the (few) violent and aggressive bus drivers out there. But it sure does make me realize that once again the 'hood gets the shaft (smelly idling buses blocking traffic and a long walk to catch the bus) while the Rose Quarter gets a street car. How many times could the #8 have made that trip to Jubitz with the money spent on the Eastside streetcar?

Once again ego and ignorance on high cost those of us at the bottom in terms of our money, time, and quality of life. Like I said, I live in Woodlawn. My neighbors may be bus drivers, but they are certainly not the ones who cut service and raised ticket prices.

Grrr....
