Tilikum Crossing Bridge — Attraction in Portland

This bridge should serve as a model to all future pedestrian Bridges across the country and frankly across the world! It is beautifully designed it is an amazingly spectacular and stunning piece of architectural art. I felt so proud to be an American and a resident of Portland Oregon as I rode my bike up and over this amazing Bridge. It makes you feel so good to be part of a community that encourages utilizing a bicycle or simply walking or maybe skateboarding instead of having to use a car which contribute so much pollution to the environment.

Wonderful , now iconic , bridge in the City of Bridges. This bridge is relatively centrally located on the southern portion of downtown waterfront Portland. Pedestrian and bikes /scooters./ e=bikes etc. only. Max and buses use this bridge as well.

There are restaurants, coffee shops, and bars and taverns near the Tillicum. OMSI is within an easy walk as well. Ebikes and scooters are available at several points on any bridge to bridge loop. Homeless tents and tarps and trash are not overwhelming in this area and safety should be OK in this...
