Anyone else notice how they are already advertising these Portland bike boulevards as MUPs good for runners to use.

I do not like the speed tables, the bulb outs and the median cut outs are way too narrow. Imagine starting across the street expecting the cyclist ahead of you to ride through an easily clearable street, but the cyclist stops in the small cut out, leaving you hanging out in the roadway (time to do some bunny hop training).

Making a long section without stop signs is about the only thing I like about the Portland bike boulevards, assuming that they do the same thing for many of the cross streets.
