&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span&gt;I agree that losing this 2-way bike stretch is not worth the fight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Does this project solve an actual problem?  Or is it more about lines on a map?&lt;/span&gt;]]></description>

I hear your comment DW (I really wish people had to use their names) but I disagree with your take. 

Is this as important as broadway? No. But having a process to navigate these issues besides the director making a call in private is important. 

- If PBOT is going to change course on a bike route I think they need to take that up in some public forum like the bicycle advisory committee. 

- The two way allows you to go up to 17th which is the more direct route to the big destinations. People in bike cities bike because biking is the most convenient way to get around. 

We need a strong central city bike network if we are going to increase biking and this decision makes it harder to do that. 

I wish more people in this city and in the comment section on bikeportland would stand up for biking.]]></description>

Out of respect for the visitors to the cemetery. It will be nice to visit without hearing the roar of gasoline engines.]]></description>

No, nice try.
If you look at past discussions this is because of a few bad behaving cyclists who thought they didn&#039;t have to follow the rules on private property and could be, by their behavior, disrespect the cemetery and those families and friends who were visiting.
So, take your angst out on them, not cyclists as a whole.]]></description>
