The sad part is that this isn't even in the automobile-centric suburbs of Beaverton and Lake Oswego - this is right smack in the middle of downtown Portland and the Portland State University campus. Where are you supposed to board the bus? If you're in a wheelchair or other mobility device, what are you supposed to do? Wait in the right lane of 4th Avenue?
TriMet should not be tolerating this. If this were a MAX stop, there'd be cops and tow trucks here PRONTO. What is the difference between MAX and a bus? There should be cops and tow trucks here PRONTO...and the idiot that actually authorized the placement of two parking spaces in front of the shelter should be fired. This is Portland, for pete's sake!

That is just BRILLIANT!!!!
Why isn't TriMet doing it? Oh, because it's a BUS stop. It's easier to inconvenient the bus riders who actually need the stop, than to actually serve those who use the system.
The great bus stops of Portland is shared on the post here. Good post
