The 20s Bikeway offers bike riders a new way to travel north and south through the city of Portland.
"Four years after planning work got underway and seven years after it was funded, the City of Portland will officially open the 20s Bikeway today," reports Jonathan Maus.
"The 20s Bikeway is a new connection in our network that spans over nine miles north-to-south between the Springwater Corridor at its southern end and NE Lombard in the north (view map PDF here)," adds Maus.
Maus offers a review of the new bikeway, declaring it a nice addition to a lack of north-south connections, but short of "world class."
