Here's a bus stop I had the fun experience of waiting at yesterday, which is pretty typical for a west side bus stop, though this one I have to give props to for having the stop ID# posted since many stops do not. My options of where to stand were the bike lane, muddy grass, or a leaf-filled ditch. Not knowing how deep the ditch was I opted for the muddy grass. When my 20+ year old bus showed up, I had the pleasure of climbing into it from street level, which if you've never done before on one of those old buses, its a fairly steep step. Sucks for people who have difficulty with steps!
So I guess since the bond measure failed which was supposed to fix stuff like this, any kind of stop improvement is now totally off the priority list, especially when there's a rail line to Milwaukie to build?

Go by rail!
Yeah, because you MUST build fully improved train stops to attract ridership...but bus stops should have to prove ridership before even so much as a sidewalk is built.
