PBOT maintenance worker removing a concrete planter on SE Salmon and 30th on September 19th. For some folks, the presence of these planters is the main reason they chose to ride on Salmon. “PBOT will install pedestrian and bike crossing elements to your SE Salmon Street Greenway at intersections with SE 11th Avenue, SE 12th Avenue, and SE 30th Avenue,” read the letter. “This is a scheduled improvement project to support the pedestrian and bicycle networks in SE Portland.”But there was no mention in the letter that the concrete planters would be removed.
