Perfect example of why I avoid biking on SE 7th whenever possible. Paint isn't infrastructure
Also flying through Division and SE 12th at 60MPH
This isn't even a hypothetical, I was biking home from PIR and had these cops fly around me on SE 9th to get on Powell to try and catch him

*I say three sides because the neighborhood is kinda wedge shaped, with SE 17th making up the eastern edge of most of the residential housing. OR-99E cuts off the western and southern edges, and Powell is to the north

I can see why you’d think sidewalks would be for pedestrians to walk around on, but it’s actually just more car storage. Common misconception

I feel like this isn't even that bizarre of an ask either
@pbotinfo.bsky.social already directs you here on their bike map, SE 9th is already Brooklyn's, alleged, destined n'hood greenway
Theoretically the side roads are local jurisdiction, and there's nothing stopping improvements happening there

Here’s my best shot at what it should look like. It would only cost the smallest curb build outs, two concrete planters, and some paint

There's no marked crossings (yellow) here. Traveling north, you have to cross oncoming traffic twice, and hope the drivers running the stop sign (red) don't kill you because they're looking to their left
Not to mention cars taking illegal turns north and south here _across_ the middle double-yellow

It's also just a waste of time and money because car drivers still just run over the fucking signs on the sidewalk
Instead of doing anything to make Powell less of a death trap, they become compliant by saying there's no crosswalk here to begin with, then shunt you to this horrible overpass

ODOT sending out mailers about their ADA curb ramp work in the n'hood. As far as I can tell, this only pertains to *closing* crosswalks around me - no rebuilding
Funnily enough, their justification for closing these crosswalks relies on redirecting to the SE 9th overpass which is NOT ADA compliant.
