Interstate and Multnomah |
||
After a few close encounters of the steel kind, I figured out the bike lane at the intersection of Multnomah and Interstate (on Multnomah west bound) is always best taken in the traffic lanes. There are two common routes here. The first is to make the left turn to get onto the Esplanade and go on the bottom of the steel bridge, and the second is to simply take the upper deck of the bridge. I do the latter since it puts me on Third Street and I do not need to contend with pedestrians on the Esplanade. (See the well done YouTube video below.)
I am sure this video never had the intention of showing the issues with commuting on the Esplanade, but I think it does as boxes in the other pedestrians and cyclists on a nice day in Portland. Hats off to OED for a nicely done video.
