Currently, 57% of areas zoned for residential and mixed commercial/residential use are within one quarter mile of bicycle facilities. With the construction of funded projects, access will expand to 66% of all residential and mixed commercial/residential use areas. Much of the Portland Bicycle Plan remains to be funded, but when it’s fully built out, 97% of all areas zoned as residential or mixed commercial/residential areas will be within one quarter mile of bicycle facilities.

To access the map, you will need to download Adobe Reader 9.

    @ Paul – The Klickitat bike boulevard route between Williams and 7th has changed since your map was created. It will be Morris (vancouver to 7th), Siskyou 7th to 17th, then Klickitat from there east

    You might want to warn people that the pdf is nearly 20mb. while most of your members will have broadband access, not all of them will.

    Nice map. However, I believe that it reflects a misunderstanding of city zoning. The shaded areas appear to be only those areas that are residential and mixed use by name. Many of the city’s commercial zones allow residential uses even though the title implies that it is commercial only. This means that your map leaves out most of Portland’s main streets. This will change the percentages in your analysis, although not in a big way.
