Tiny little note for oregon transpo nerds... the Oregon Transportation Commission has just 4 members right now after Commissioner Alicia Chapman "stepped down for personal reasons" back in December. Haven't heard of replacement plan yet. Something to keep in mind if any big decisions come up soon.

Gov Kotek and Dems will put transportation bill referendum vote on May primary ballot. Republicans had hoped it’d be on Nov ballot to have more influence on gubernatorial race.

Looking at the new East MultCo Transpo safety plan. Basically every arterial is a "high injury corridor." It's almost as if these streets are dangerous by design and it's a feature not a bug. I mean, there's no escaping these streets if you want to live a life. What have we done

The work PBOT is doing on 82nd Ave truly warms my heart. All the crossings and median islands... swoon... and they just shared this photo of a center curb separator being installed at NE Fremont!

Props to this dude soaking up the sun in the middle of an empty Broadway Bridge today (it's closed to car users due to a construction project). ☀️

This chart of East Multnomah County (Gresham/Fairview/Troutdale) is a bonkers illustration of how drivers just lost their minds during the pandemic and have still not found them.
Also shows urgent need for radical redesign of our roads to prevent folks from driving dangerously.

Can’t escape these jumping cars.
Just got this from my kids high school:
“We are writing to let you know that during lunch today, two of our students suffered some injuries after a car jumped the curb and hit them on North Ida.”

Getting caught up on emails and realize yet another person was killed by a driver while trying to walk across Tualatin-Valley Hwy. This time it was 41 year old Portlander named John McKinney. It happened near SW 198th Ave in Aloha.

Who says you can't convince haters to agree w you online?
I like to lean into these exchanges when certain types of people come at me in DMs. Note at the end when the person basically says, "OK, I agree. Good points. Have a nice weekend."

Mixed feelings about seeing our PBOT Director take part in a conference in Saudi Arabia... Was just talking the other day about how it's still an open wound that the Saudi gov't helped the driver who killed Fallon Smart with his car in 2016 escape justice while he was awaiting trial for her death.
