City planners need to take into account all modes of transportation but more importantly they need to take into account the "Pedestrian". We are all pedestrians when we step out of our cars and off our bicycles. The needs of the community and the future growth pattern needs to be looked at long term.

I ride this road to work every single day and it is terrifying when cars try to squeeze past me. Someone is going to get hit.

The intersection at 34th and Division is a nightmare. I hate driving through there because I feel like I might hit someone on a bike by accident.

Its about time they do something about the parking there. Taking a few spots is a small price to pay for not killing a cyclist.

PLEASE fix this street. The traffic is crazy and it feels so dangerous for my kids walking to school.

too many cars using this as a shortcut. slow down.

YES! This is one of many huge issues associated with the unchecked development, leading to serious livability issues here. We have lived (and owned our home) within a block or two of 34th for over 30 years. Many of the streets are becoming dangerous for bikes but also pedestrians and even cars. More cars are parking on both sides of all the side streets. Why? overflow from apartments with no parking, and visitors to restaurants and shops. Trucks do damage navigating, drivers can't see walkers or bikers, Division is a joke, someone will be killed once the dark and rain starts. The city is approving things without pre-planning the infrastructure. So many issues. But it all boils down to basic every day issues = living here, the daily drain of how much harder everything becomes, the hazards etc. Each minor or major inconvenience to basic quality of life here is like a slow torture that mounts up, creating stress and frustration and either helplessness or outright anger. In my 35+ years here I have NEVER seen and heard such universal agreement, right on the surface with everyone - start a conversation with someone who lives here and it goes to the livability issue. Portland and those who chose to live here for decades created a paradise that is rapidly transitioning into a nightmare outside each front door. Will it create a neighborhood where no one wants to leave their home? Is it only a place where "outsiders" come to eat and shop? Once all the non-parking apartments and condos are lived in it can only get more dangerous on the side streets as cars fill both sides day and night.

I live on 34th and spend a fair amount of time on our front porch. It is one of the most entertaining times of my day. Watching the hundreds of cyclists every day gives me hope for the future of Portland. However, because of the narrowness of our little road, the cyclists are quite often required to pull over to make room for the cars. There have been many close calls, especially when the cars don't slow down before forcing the cyclists to pull over. Often the cyclists will defer to the sidewalk to avoid any conflict. One of the contributing factors, I believe, is that a large portion of the traffic on our street is from out of town cars. I see many plates from California, Washington and B.C.. It's obvious they don't treat the cyclists with as much respect as the majority of Oregon plated drivers. So, as a detailed observer of the traffic flows on this street, I'm in favor of the above plan. It makes perfect sense, will not inconvenience anyone and will create a safer more relaxed transportation scenario.
