    1: I-84 Bicycle Path Connector

    3: The Two Current Crossings:

    4: �MLK� is the most dangerous crossing. There is no bike lane or shoulder. The design of the four lane roadway encourages multiple lane changes and high speed traffic.

    5: NE 12th Street is certainly a better crossing. However there is a similar lack of distinct bicycle allocation. Connection around the Lloyd district to NE Portland streets remains sketchy. Many commuters consider this to be an unpleasant connection.

    6: Even NE 21st Street is not considered a safe route by PDOT. This leaves a detour all the way to 28th street for less experienced bicycle commuters. The 28th street crossing is considered the best means of crossing the highway.

    7: The Solution Bicycle connection along NE 7th Street

    8: Currently traveling from NE 7th Street includes pleasant bike lanes from Broadway to Lloyd Street

    9: Upon reaching Lloyd

    10: Traveling from SE 7th Street includes similarly pleasant bike lanes from Harrison St. to Sandy

    11: Upon reaching Pacific Street

    12: Roadways on either side of I-84 are comfortable for bicycles. Leaving only one critical amenity for safe bicycle commuting.

    13: Estimated cost: 1.5 � 1.7 million Estimated construction timescale: Less than one year

    14: Based on the design of the Powell crossing of the I-205 path, this element would create a convenient connection for bicycle commuters in Portland.

    15: In order for the bridge to be as efficient as possible, it is recommended that the deck be treated as a roadway rather than a recreational trail. To that end this bridge is designed with separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic as well as a passing lane.

    16: �Bike dedicated pathways make sense [safety-wise] for both bike users and auto users.� Beth Hammon � City Bikes

    17: Which brings us closer to the eventual goal�.
