The Tilikum_Crossing is quite a fine transportation bridge for Portland. Unlike in Vancouver, BC, the Tilikum_Crossing meant that no lanes were reduced from the surrounding bridges.

Unlike Portland & so many cities, V-BC & the metropolitan region refuses to build something like the Tilikum_Crossing_for_bicycles. The six lane Burrard_Bridge was reduced to 4 lanes in order to accomodate 2 bicycle_lanes. The Burrard_Bridge was designed to accommodate a lower level for streetcars, but never followed through with it. Vancouver-BC became one of the first cities to get rid of streetcars or trams & will likely be one of the last to bring them back. Fortunately, the Vancouver mentality was unable to stop the revival of the Seattle & Portland_Streetcar. Melbourne, Toronto, SF, Boston & New Orleans never totally got rid of their streetcars like backward V-BC.
