Passerelle of the Month – Gibbs Street, Portland

Haven’t had one of these for awhile:

Construction of the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge is set to begin this month  …   Once complete, the Gibbs Bridge will extend 700 feet over I-5, connecting the Lair Hill Neighborhood to the South Waterfront District near the Aerial Tram. The bridge will be for bicycling and walking only and according to the project website, the project also comes with some, “improvements to some pedestrian crossings in the area.”

Another lovely integration of modes – bike, ped, aerial tram, streetcar and, sure, car.   Giving people choices is what it’s all about.  Delightfully.
