“Big cities should have room for more cars.”
This is obviously wrong, yet it remains a cornerstone of every transportation plan in the United States.

Class 1 aren’t the ones causing any terror. Class 2 are unfortunately a challenge. This will restrict access until 16 and require a safety course to get access earlier. It’s an opportunity for parents to be more involved.
And it does not preclude enforcement which is still challenging.
Starting Jan 1, 2027, anyone age 14+ can ride a Class 1 eBike.
All ages can ride Class 1 or 2 e-bike if they are participating in a bicycle education program as described in ORS 802.325.
Huge thanks to @bikabout.com's advocacy over the years to get this over the finish line. EVERY VOTE WAS AN AYE!
I wonder if these positions are eligible for the $500/annual stipend for other City of Portland advisory committees?
Happy Calvin's Dad day to those who celebrate
Sorry to hear that, Robin
I have heard some make the argument that the US and Israeli bombing campaign is one of the”liberation” and that the “people of Iran are happy.”
I don’t see how that stands up to two seconds of scrutiny.

Thank you to Embrace Bend and Deschutes Library for hosting Civics Lab: Human Library Edition today in Redmond. It was a great opportunity to connect with people.
Don’t forget to turn your clocks forward!
Who does this the best? I regularly hear from people who say they don’t mind paying, but it’s got to be easy. Like as easy as it is at the airport: take ticket, park, then pay when you leave.
Is there consensus on which app or kiosk experience is best?
That pic always makes me smile
He also complained about the cost ($40-$60m, unclear if that's on top of $11m to buy the site). It is a substantial amount of money, but it's actually significantly less money per unit than average build prices for other parts of the state.
Easing Fire "Safety" Rules
One of the most interesting areas of political science research involves challenging the assumption that elections make officeholders more accountable.
People like this are saints. Working to prevent others from going through the agony, the hell, of losing your a child to a reckless driver.
Sarah helped make The Street Trust a leading voice of transportation safety in Portland and across the state. She leaves behind a lot to build on for the next executive director.
Congratulations on your next chapter, @sarahiannarone.bsky.social!
Well this is cool to see
At wall st? The story there is given the street was getting storm, water, and utility upgrades, could we include the intersection in the project for transportation safety as well?
The answer was yes, but budget constraints meant slip lane stayed.
It's hard to describe the feeling of not being able to stop our leaders from repeating 2003, except 1000 times worse, while Congress is doing less than nothing to stop this madman.
We'll keep doing the work locally, but this illegal war stains us all.
Keep speaking up. Americans don't want this.
This Shabbos, I’m praying for all of the innocent civilians - especially innocent Iranian civilians - who are going to suffer because of the warmongering of Trump and Netanyahu.
“The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost. That often happens in war.”
It is as if he shrugs his shoulders and says, “Oh well.”
Disgusting and impeachable.
Agreed! And just this week council gave direction to use $1.2m in one-time revenue to pursue those kinds of projects. I was pleased to see support to increase it from $600k. More details to come.
A raised crosswalk on the OSU-Cascades campus. Blue sky with white clouds and tree silhouettes are visible. A sidewalk lies on either side of dark gray pavement.
Blue sky and white clouds with trees in the background frame a raised intersection, visible in light gray concrete in the center. Four streets or perhaps drive aisles are visible on the sides. Lightposts appear on either side.
OSU-Cascades has added new surface parking. These raised crosswalks and raised intersection will make crossings safer.
I expect to start seeing more of these around town starting this year.
Twilight sky with city street lights illuminating a streetscape. Centered is a separated bike path with a white bike stencil. A motor vehicle travel lane is on the left and a sidewalk is on the right. Railroad tracks are visible in the foreground.
Coming back from the advisory body summit last night I got to ride through the new Olney. It was great to have separated space to drive, ride, walk, and wheel!
City of Bend Advisory Body Summit. Let's see what the next year holds.

That’s even cooler than this little snowplow truck I saw on the OSU-Cascades campus today
Ironic that Hakeem Jeffries' advice to the Democratic caucus tonight was to maintain "decorum."
This is exactly what Mike Johnson threw out Al Green for last year. Green showed tremendous political courage again tonight. Democrats should take note.
Basically TikTok, I guess...
I asked my class of 29 students which social media platforms they use and none of them knew what BlueSky is
