    There’s no need to convert those streets back. They were altered, in the first place, out of public safety concerns. The real problem with those streets, as they converge with Congress street, is that pedestrians and bicyclists disregard the traffic signals, and frequently bolt out into a street full of oncoming traffic. Rewarding those people seems a dubious objective, particularly given the millions of taxpayer dollars involved. Frankly, it makes no sense. Forest Avenue is two-way traffic, and upper Forest near Congress is a congested mess. The small group of wealthy Portlanders exert too much meddling into city affairs. Leave the streets alone!
