Update: Portland Design Commission Unanimously Accepts Revised Master Plan for the Lloyd Center Mall People talked about the mall as a public asset to the community… the trick is that it’s a privately owned and operated building, and it has an outsized negative effect on the outside of it...

The Portland Design Commission unanimously accepted the Revised Primary Master Plan for the Lloyd Center Mall, pushing the massive project one small step forward.

gas prices going up but @trimet.org is still $2.80 :D

the legislature ignored less regressive alternatives to their chosen cuts, then laughed at and chided the people trying to tell them how badly they’d screwed up

The Residential Infill Project took 6 years to get through the process. www.sightline.org/2021/08/06/t...

We're now almost 2 years since the Inner Eastside Area Planning Project to the Housing Production strategy. I don't know if BPS has yet realized the new council doesn't want to wait another 4.

Why are the Stadler EMUs so fast? FLIRT and KISS can hit 125mph. What the heck is going on in Switzerland.
Side note, imagine taking *that* to Salem. We need regional rail in Oregon!

Today is the big day 🙏🏾 moving back into my house 😭🚚📦

Beijing?

Submit written testimony to the committee here before March 12th!

🎂March 12th is my birthday🎂, and there's only one gift I can imagine that's better than the Inner Eastside for All resolution passing out of committee...

That is passing the resolution with an amendment to move the timeline from June of 2027, up to December of 2026.

Oregon’s New Path to Inclusionary Housing: Fully Funded and Flexible | Sightline Institute An environmental justice champion led the push to end counterproductive, unfunded mandates.

Yesterday, Oregon's legislature voted to ban underfunded inclusionary zoning from the Portland metro area.

It's a big turnaround, and I hope a path forward for other states too.

I relied on a throttle to continue riding when I had a knee injury. Throttles are fine!

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

And now the third crane is almost deconstructed, phase 1 of Sen̓áḵw is nearing completion.

We Have Met Our Funding Goal Back in November, the editors gave some thought as to what it would take to build Liberal Currents up into something bigger, to take it beyond where we were managing with incremental growth. We set a...

"Looking at everyone who has supported us during the course of our fundraiser—whether financially or by saying a kind word about us—it's been quite obvious to me that what ties us all together is that we are, by and large, merely ordinary liberals." www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-met-...

There's two competing visions for the district. Neither has won out fully, but even now as BPS is saying out of one side of its mouth that it's important it is as an industrial zone, they are simultaneously proposing to rezone another little bit of it for residential.

I don't believe the Central Eastside should remain an industrial area, and clearly the city doesn't believe it either.

The Central Eastside should be a neighborhood of at least 75k Portlanders. Removing the freeway is key to enabling that.

Glad ODOT is taking Portlanders quality of life seriously ❤️

Portland must get its eastbank back!

It would be one thing if the policy behind the desired result of the ballot measure was actually exciting or a worthwhile investment. It's not- it's just a blank check for ODOT to keep building roads.

There is ALWAYS a housing angle.

May no one from Clackamas County ever be council president again.

Metro President Lynn Peterson Could Leave Post Early To Take Lake Oswego Manager Gig Metro President Lynn Peterson could leave her elected position leading the regional government to take a job as Lake Oswego city manager as early as next week.

good news for transportation however this pans out. councilor hwang was a key player fighting for BAT lanes and gonzalez has made transit a bit part of his campaign for metro president www.wweek.com/news/city/20...

Here's an example floor plan with three 1BR units per floor.
The wider front massing could hold a 3Br unit as an option.

Legislators may make a mistake that will decimate rail in this state. Don't let them.

Send in testimony RIGHT NOW

Last year the Oregon Senate passed a bill that would have us adopt Standard Time if surrounding states did so as well. It did not make it out of the House.

I'm glad that bill died, because Standard Time is the opposite of what we should adopt, we should adopt permanent Daylight savings time.
