Schreck, George
It will work, but take a bit more time. I commute by bicycle form the
bottom of the West side of Thompson to Downtown currently, and it is not
bad in terms of traffic. Actually, at rush hour I do not find them much
different, and the Thompson route has little traffic if it is not rush
hour. On the other hand, Susan's route does involve less climbing and
will be more mellow. The Thompson route is a good workout if you are in
the mind for that, and you have to punch it when you go through the two
short tunnels on Cornell (there is a bike path around them going up the
hill).

Less direct than George's route, but less traffic and easier climbing
over
the west hills:
West union east
Cornelius pass rd south
Amberwood east
Quick zig zag to Walker rd east
Brief sashay north on Cedar Hills
East on Park to stop
Quick right & left, over 217
Enter 26 bike path on left
26 bike path up and over Sylvan, cross 26 to North side,
Drop down into zoo
Kingston (?) all the way into downtown.
Most all of the on-road route though hillsboro/beaverton has a bike
lane.
YMMV.

Note: Could also take Cornelius Pass to Cornell and take that all the
way
into town. I don't like that route because I don't like the climb up
cornell - it's very heavily trafficked & the bike lane fades in and out.
The other way is a little longer but is a more pleasant ride.

Heya Guys,
A friend needs a good daily commuting route from the north plains area
(jackson hill/mason hill road) to downtown (market street). I've done
the
multinomah/sellwood bridge route but that takes him way too far south.
Any recommendations would be great!
