Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.05,0:00:11.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thi is SouthEast Lincoln that we are standing on here
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.09,0:00:16.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the Southeast Lincoln Bike Boulevard is really cool
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.04,0:00:21.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's like a metaphore for all that what we've done in Portland in the eighties.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.01,0:00:24.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,South East Lincoln here was we called called a traffic collector
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.05,0:00:26.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was quite a bit of auto traffic on the street
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.05,0:00:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was a major ? affair
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.00,0:00:30.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the late eighties and early nineties
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.08,0:00:34.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the city really with pressure from neighborhood and citizens
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.05,0:00:40.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,turns this street as well as a number of other streets into what we call bicycle boulevards
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.02,0:00:42.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where we did traffic coming? elements to make
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.08,0:00:44.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the street more livable
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.08,0:00:48.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and slower traffic, reduced traffic,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.04,0:00:51.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and much more friendly for bicycles and pedestrians.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.01,0:00:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let me tell you what we did to the street
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.00,0:00:58.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at a couple of key points on the street, at Southeast 39, two blocks this way
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.01,0:01:02.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and South East 20, which is about a mile that away
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.04,0:01:04.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we put in what we call traffic divertors
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.08,0:01:06.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so traffic as to turn.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.09,0:01:09.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the biggest challenges to develop a bike boulevard
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.07,0:01:15.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is you can't make it easy for cars to get onto the bike boulevard out of a busy street.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.04,0:01:17.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you fail to make this kind of improvement,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.06,0:01:20.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what will happen is that you will have a lot of more cars on the bike boulevard.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.10,0:01:23.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't want a lot of car on our bike boulevard.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.03,0:01:25.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we do this little dislocation
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.02,0:01:28.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is only allow car to come out of the local service street on the 39
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.04,0:01:33.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we don't allow cars to come in from 39 onto Clinton
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.02,0:01:35.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this case, the project has worked really well.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.07,0:01:39.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's made so that bicyclists can pass through easily
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.02,0:01:43.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it keeps cars off and actually acts as a good treatment
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.03,0:01:46.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and diverts cars that would otherwise be on this facilities.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.07,0:01:49.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We also put in things that slow traffic down,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.05,0:01:53.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which includes the traffic circle that you can see over there
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.02,0:01:56.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and speed bumps along the street to slow traffic down
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.06,0:02:01.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that the speed of cars is prety similar to the speed of cyclists
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.05,0:02:04.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which create a more confortable environment for everyone
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.05,0:02:10.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then more recently we put in signs and circles to identify the street
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.03,0:02:14.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well as other a Bike Boulevards, has been part of this special Boulevard Network.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.06,0:02:25.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People are very concerned about diverting traffic off from a street.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.08,0:02:27.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"How they gonna get to there houses?"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.06,0:02:30.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that "it might cause traffic on other streets to go out".
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.04,0:02:32.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, and this was what happened here,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.02,0:02:34.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there was a lot of fights, it was a difficult project,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.02,0:02:38.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what happen as a result is also very similar to what hapens in many other cities,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.06,0:02:42.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that it's so pleasant afterwards that properties values stear? up?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.10,0:02:45.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are becomes wonderfull terfair?? for people walking their dog and jogging
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.10,0:02:47.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's "very" part of the street
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.04,0:02:51.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for bicycling, for people walking, for kids to be out of the bounds.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.01,0:02:54.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's just become this wonderfull community street.
