PORTLAND, Ore. - City workers were planning to begin painting new "bike boxes" around Portland on Thursday. A total of 15 intersections will get the new safety feature, which reserves a spot for cyclists ahead of cars at stoplights. - KATU

Sorry, but as a guy who drives a concrete mixer downtown quite often I say it just shows you your targets. Don't get me wrong, I'm not out to kill anyone but most of those jack-offs downtown ride like thay are trying to get you to hit them.

I ride both a motorcycle and a bicycle....I also drive a tractor trailer in downtown Portland.....The boxes are the worst idea ever! It rains in Oregon and all of us who have ridden in even a rain shower know how slick paint can get its much much worse on a bicycle....Thanks to the city of portland for spending more money they dont have to fix a problem that can be cured by simple natural selection....IMO
