O’Bryant Square reopens this fall for the first time in five years, and when it does visitors will stroll right into the middle of the extremes roiling downtown Portland. The half-acre brick plaza closed in 2018 because of structural problems with the underground parking garage that was a condition of the donor who gave the land to the city decades earlier. Named for Portland’s first mayor, Hugh O’Bryant, it’s been fenced off since 2018 as the city put together plans to carefully fill the garage, work finally due to begin as soon as next month.

Cota, Johnson and Ebert are members of the board of BikeLoud PDX. Portland used to be America’s darling when it came to biking. Year over year, more people were biking to work throughout the 2000s and early 2010s. Compared to the national average of 0.6% of people biking to work, Portland in 2014 led the pack at 7.2%, with reason to expect growth into the future. The city set a goal of 1 in 4 people biking to work by 2030, and national and international study tours came to find out how we did it.

Opinion: Portland leaders need to take getting people on bikes more seriously
