Have you heard about #BetterNaitoForever? It’s the permanent version of #BetterNaito, the protected space for pedestrians and cyclists traveling to and along Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, which we first piloted with @betterblockpdx and @pdxrosefestival in 2015.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (@PBOTinfo) plans to make the bike lanes on Naito Parkway permanent, which means there will only be one lane for cars going northbound year-round (learn more: on.kgw.com/2ZbIHj1).
What do you think of that plan?
65%LOVE IT!

Hopefully @ChloeEudalyPDX @PBOTinfo will take some time to read this. #Portland desperately needs to speed things up & we have tons of local resources to do "quick builds".
Earlier this week the SFMTA Board of Directors passed a “quick build” policy that I had ask for earlier this year to allow staff to make temporary, inexpensive pilot safety projects. Here’s how that will help make our streets safer: medium.com/@LondonBreed/buil…

"We need to immediately implement a quick-build network w/ in 2 yrs as a proof of concept." - rep for @BetterBlockPDX (the folks who brought us #betternaito)
There's global precedent for this...do entire network on low budget to show impact ASAP. #ccimpdx

Beyond excited to attend this .@PBOTinfo open house tonight! This section of Naito was originally in our #BetterNaito plans, but was too complex for temporary install. It’s fun to see it coming to life as the next big step to making Naito Parkway better for all! .@BetterBlockPDX teapawt.net/pbotinfo/status/951115… – at Portland, OR

Hey @elonmusk, if individualized transport is what people really want, why aren’t we there yet? We don’t need better cars, we need better possibilities for living without one.
Excited to see new and familiar faces at tonight’s meeting! We will be discussing our 2017/2018 projects! Come join! facebook.com/events/20701753…
Join us next Wednesday (and every second Wednesday of the month starting in Dec) to get involved in projects! facebook.com/events/20701753…

Recently built two way protected bike lane in London. This is what a permanent #BetterNaito could look like.
