Actually this project has been in the works for about 10 years but the signs have installed recently. What I thought might be of interest to the A&S forum is this posting on the BikePortland.org blog which outlines the project and has a good back and forth discussion between some Portland cyclists and the City of Portland Bicycle Coordinator. I think it underscores the value of having a Bicycle Coordinator in the agency that is responsible for local transportation issues.

Thanks for the heads-up, I've just added my 2 pennies worth.

Interesting. Too bad I never make it east of the river. I'm always in the Hillsboro/Tualatin/Wilsonville area.

I agree with a few of the comments there; my first thought was that the type was a bit small. But it does add legitimency to the cyclists on the road. Motorists have their signs directing them to points of interest; now we have ours.
