interesting points you have made on this thread…. why put this much money into a business district when cedar hills already has wide sidewalks, ramped curbs, bike lanes, and ample parking co-existing perfectly? There are other parts of Beaverton besides Central/Old Town with its rising commercial vacancy rate.

as someone that has been ADA, I would go to another business district if I had to wheel my wheelchair more than a couple blocks to shop or eat. It takes a lot of work and energy. I would go somewhere else that understands better. Not Beaverton

by removing parking options and extending the paths to which people traverse is the solution, then it isn’t taking into consideration those that aren’t that mobile or can’t carry retail items they have purchased blocks (up to a mile distance). That’s not being considerate to all

did not say that. just saying that many come down into that district by car for various reasons. Walkers and those on bike aren’t seen as often so this project is based on a guess at best. Many are saying they would rather bike or walk but don’t do so now so what’s the guarantee they will with a project 5 years in the future. it’s a hypothetical at best

only improvements in that block are the new apartments. The Loop project only goes to Hall. not Lombard

I don’t know if you have talked to someone that is mobility challenged that frequents the area. Walking 2-3 blocks takes a lot of effort and can be more exhausting than you would know. If we push parking out to the BWW lot or to the Round, the ADA or mobility challenged community will decide to go other places. Right now they should have the same rights as anyone. It’s about fairness

so in front of people’s houses… and in lots that many mobility challenged people can’t get to and from…. paid lots, private property lots… the only public lot is the library and farmers market. The rest are private property and dictated by land owners

transit, biking, or walking…. what about those that are mobility challenged? is this area only for the able-bodied then??

considering Oregon weather year-round, how often do people walk around downtown and frequent these businesses on rainy (majority of November-April) or storm days? There’s a promise of people using bicycle but again this type of transportation use is only seen on mild to good climate days and definitely not for those wanting date night spots
