The letter's interesting. *Since the green paint in the bike boxes is
not magically protecting people when they're to the right of a right
turning vehicle, Portland has a new plan: *_Dashed_ green paint!


It *is* interesting. "Bicycle use and volumes have increased
significantly since the treatments were installed", and "Police
investigation and reporting practices have changed since the
treatments were installed, resulting in a higher rate of reporting for
bicycle involved crashes".

The 4 locations responsible for the increase are all downhill (?)
Hmmm... might this be what experiments are for?

The remaining 7 locations had a decrease in right hook crashes, even
though use and volumes have increased significantly since the
treatments were installed (?)
