Imagine if we had just started putting bus lanes + actually-frequent service on Barbur in 2015 when they decided that it was an important enough corridor to build light rail there. Instead of improved transit, we just got real estate speculators hoarding the parking lots, & more car-centric plans.

Dan, we canโ€™t create the next Nike because the economy that allowed for that is looooooong gone.

Also, you want more international labor exploitation? wtf?

Do you seriously not even know Oregon has a bike tax? Besides you seem to think cars pay for roads. ๐Ÿค‘

People on bikes pay for more of the roads than they will ever wear out (much better ROI than coddling drivers.) And without even licking a boot to get a car loan.

I'm rather tired of ORdems' gubernatorial coronation / waitlist process in lieu of primaries.

Hey, wanna get a beer and I can tell you why you're wrong? ๐Ÿ˜

But seriously, I'd love to tell you about Bend's history and evolution and how we're working on that next evolution to less car dependency and more multifamily and missing middle homes.

The electorate is further left than ranked choice would have you believe, because the votes get so fragmented between all of the leftish candidates. It's just multi-round choose-only-one, so your vote doesn't count if you don't vote together.

Can't wait for whenever we have a Democratic president again and very savvy journalists ask why he or she isn't doing a better job of uniting the country.

Lawmakers want $3 million from state coffers for 82nd Avenue bus lanes Lawmakers say 82nd Ave won't reach it's full transit potential without BAT lanes.

I reported last week that the TriMet decision to build BAT lanes on 82nd Avenue was conditioned on others outside the agency raising funds to pay for it.

This is the first example of that playing out...

๐Ÿš ACTION ALERT! ๐Ÿš

82nd Avenue is East Portland's Main Street, and our community deserves frequent and reliable transit.

Join me and Representative Thuy Tran in asking the legislature to fund full Business Access and Transit Lanes on 82nd Avenue: #orleg #orpol

I'm usually very weary of people in cars when I'm biking. I assume they all don't like me or don't like people on bikes. Often I feel like they would rather I wasn't there. This morning at this intersection I was taken by surprise! A ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ from a person in a pickup truck and a wonderful compliment! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿฅฐ

a report on the map "The stop and right turn only signs exiting the Fred Meyer parking lot have been hit and tuned 90 degrees, so they now seem to be directing traffic traveling northbound on Custer St."

The conservative mind cannot comprehend biking to get car parts.

You have to follow @ap.brid.gy for me to get that reply over there, instead of a message from the bridge that says you replied.

And stop giving your incumbent governors a coronation instead of a primary challenge. Of course the choose-only-one ballot muddles the issue (but whose permission does a party need to adopt star voting for the primary?)

Imagine all the incredible tweets that have been lost to that tunnel. Itโ€™s likely the equivalent of billions of dollars in the local economy (using my proprietary tweets to GDP converter formula). This matters!!!!

I'm surprised it's only 1:1, as my car's annual mileage has dropped by roughly 3x the #eBikes' odometers for the past dozen-ish years. When you're not just replacing a commute to the same office, trips to take the kids to a bouncy warehouse or other stroadside parking lot destination become [โ€ฆ]

Where's your proof for that statement? It's absolutely replaced car trips for me, as someone living in the city the video is about.

Some in South Minneapolis have created what they call โ€œfilter blockadesโ€ on Cedar Ave. A handout says the roundabout like blockade is meant to bring neighbors together to strategize against ICE while also identifying traffic coming into the area.
