PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland State University graduate student is creating an online google map so cyclists can alert one another of the most dangerous intersections in the city and report incidents, even if no serious injuries were involved.

According to an article on the bikeportland Web site, Joe Broach said he was inspired to create the map and tracking system after two people died in Portland bicycle fatalities last October.

With this new bike safety reporting and analysis tool, cyclists will be able to report collisions and close calls in detail and then other cyclists and drivers can access the information, including time, date, location, and who was involved.

The tool will be hosted on bikeportland.org when it’s ready for public use.

Broach is living in Southeast Portland and working toward a PhD in transportation at PSU’s Center for Urban Studies.
