Slightly inconveniencing motorists is tantamount to a hate crime, duh. Besides, dead bodies in the street are considered no-cost traffic calming devices nowadays, after all. PBOT hasn't officially approved of this, obviously. They still need to do another 10 years of unprecedented pedestrian deaths on the roads before they decide that people not dying it more important than people getting home 2 minutes faster.

They say they want to install pedestrian medians and crosswalk beacons. They already did that at 156th and people are still dying there.

Leah Treat has failed and should be replaced. PBOT staffers are too busy painting capes and hearts on the bike lane icons in inner SE to do anything effective about SE Division and 122nd.
If it isn't twee, it isn't worth funding. Pop up parks! Street Seats! Better Naito! Bike Share! Cuter Foster!
I think actual teenage girls might do a better job than the faux-teenagers at PBOT.
