People love outdoor dining, yet PBOT is dead set on removing every last outdoor dining area in the city.
Send a quick email to the Mayor's office and your city councilors, ask them to reign in PBOT. It takes 60 seconds to send a short message.

we're officially entering a very scary time for portland transit. the cuts this year and next year won't be the end, and the combination of rising fares and falling service levels are going to mark the end of our fragile post-covid ridership recovery www.opb.org/article/2025...
TriMet’s first service cuts begin Sunday as $300M budget gap looms
Portland metro area’s transit agency expects to cut service by 10% over the next two years.

i’d like to offer the now-reasonable-by-comparison proposal that we just revoke their ability to vote for state offices for a very modest 4-6 year period and revisit once we see if that’s improved things somewhat

💔For every traffic fatality there are at least 10x that many victims of traffic violence who have life altering injuries, economic impacts, trauma.
We can't police our way out of this violence. We can however, as a community, decide to invest in making streets that improve the quality of our lives.

I don’t cover transpo in Portland but I live in District 1 and I gotta say, it is just a blood bath out here with traffic violence. Two pedestrian fatalities last night (102 & Halsey and 122 & Glisan). These lives are just two of the countless consequences of ignoring an entire corner of the city…

PBOT knows how to properly handle a bike lane at a bus platform. A choice was made to maintain bike-bus conflicts, and to subject buses to delays from having to merge back into traffic.

I respectfully disagree here. The vast majority of people can either bike or use another sort of device on a bike lane (like a mobility scooter).
It's true that bikes can be limited by parking at high-demand destinations, but transit has trouble serving different types of irregular routes.

I buy that. Bikes are fundamentally niche, transit (and walking) is the only mobility system in a metropolitan context that can truly be fore everyone
