*Subject:* [OBRA Chat] Portland area road conditions: the gravel!
Going to open up the discussion here regarding the state of the
very roads we commute and train on.
I went out in my car this weekend and surveyed my usual training
routes and 90% of them have the bike
lane or shoulder area where we travel completely covered in that
dreaded gravel. I have heard that the city plans to
have it all swept up /in time/ but if it does not interfere with
motor vehicle traffic and only endangers cyclists in
their little bike lanes they might not make it a priority. I
wonder...will the 13 or so mile stretch of Marine drive even be
considered?
Will all of Rt 30 to St Helens get a sweep?
I have only been living in Portland since 98 and riding a bike
less than that so I don't know what it was like the
last time we had the snow and ice and gravel. (Was there a last
time) How long did it take them to get it cleaned up or
was it just a matter of many trashed tires and rain washing it
away. Also...is there a way we could all write letters or make
phone calls to the city to get our bike lanes and shoulders
cleared up. Of course I could be acting too soon and should just
cut our wonderful
city some slack and give them at least a few weeks to get
organized and get it cleared up.
Thanks All,
Keith Prior
