But to get to Marshall, it’s about an 8 mile bike ride across several high-conflict traffic areas and biking into a region where the campus is into some of the worst, most aggressive surface streets in Portland. My kid used to walk, bus, or bike to Benson for the first three years (which is right at 1.5 miles from our house).

They took away service from from Line 70-12th Ave because they didn’t see the extra crowding that they had expected (probably because Benson HS is now at the Marshall campus). 15-Belmont/NW 23rd buses run every 15 minutes or better most of the day, every day.
