Guest essay: A plan for a ‘#passoire’-filled #Portland - #cycling #bicycle #biking #urbanism #culdesac #pdx #cityPlanning

The passoire is simple (see image above). Imagine the intersection by your house or apartment, remove the pavement from corner to corner creating a square of green space, imagine a few large trees, include the sidewalks (if you have sidewalks) and install crossing paths that are big enough for two generous-sized tricycles to pass each other on a warm summer night and blow kisses. Voilà.
