Show Notes
Portlands Bureau of Transportation introduces concrete planters along Southwest Broadways bike lane, from Yamhill to Oak Streets. No-parking signs are up, with restrictions starting March 11th until mid-May. Crews will work weekdays from 7 am to 3 pm, with possible weekend shifts. The planters will be filled with flowers for the 2026 Bloom Festival, enhancing the streets appearance and reducing maintenance. The bike lane will remain open, but cyclists may use alternative routes. Drivers should be vigilant, as some cyclists might merge into travel lanes. Sidewalks will stay accessible. Local businesses, like Alec Marchants comedy shop, support the changes, expecting the color and greenery to boost the neighborhood. Work will continue in phases after mid-May, extending to Northwest Broadway and Clay Street later this year, with full access for local homes and businesses.
