Thanks for the pictures. After viewing them, I don't understand the use of
the bike box. If you're over on the right in the bike lane, why (and how)
would you move 6 feet or so to the left to be in the box while stopped,
when you just have to move back to the right into the lane as soon as the
light changes?

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Portland's new bike box/green bike lane

Today, the city of Portland made good on a promise to try and make our
roads safer after the two tragedies last October.

here are some of the first photos of the new bike box and colored
lane. This one is at SE Hawthorne and 7th and is the first of 14
similar intersection treatments.

(note: the actual bike box has not been filled in with green paint
yet...that is expected to be finished on monday).

cheers,
