@Graham It's pretty sketch over there. I've taken to going down Ankeny and then sidewalking to the bridge. Especially the right turn onto Grand and the right from MLK. It's ridiculous that they have the bike lanes all the way up Burnside but they're so crappy on Couch.
Glad she wasn't hurt worse. If she's gonna sue the miscreant someday (assuming they're caught) this pic may not help with the "pain and suffering" aspect, though. I'm not saying that to be mean, just pointing it out.
I was talking with a PBOT guy once and he told me that they purposefully put right-hook possibilities into infrastructure because the crashes would be less damaging than other options.
I hope they find the person responsible. And I hope the city realizes what a horrible idea that piece of road is.
