Hey you should give my org @deschutesycc a follow! We do youth climate action in Central OR, and rn we're planning the global climate strike #inBend on 9/15. It'll be at 5pm at Bend City Hall!

Sat outside for a few minutes, feeling relieved that the sun had been eclipsed by some building clouds (knowing full well they could produce lightning). Came inside to find this. Sigh.

Took my eBike downtown to pick up a library book, and let me tell you I am happy about the new-and-improved trail from Portland Ave to Newport. We are almost to a point where I can navigate between important destinations separated from cars. Hoorah!

Don't think I've said it here yet; Sept 15 is the global climate strike #inBend! It's at 5pm starting at City Hall! Go check out deschutesycc on instagram for updates

1. Yay! New bike lanes and crosswalks for Purcell Avenue! First trip through here I’m seeing bikes using them.

2. Boo! Second trip through here there’s a car parked squarely in the bike lane.

3. ??? Will there be enforcement?

#InBend #YIMBY gets a shout out from opb in this article on affordable #Housing in #Oregon. Nice to see! @davidw @TailorGlad

The distribution of #AirQuality sensors #InBend is curiously uneven.

@TailorGlad Excellent notes, as usual! Lots of good news Re: upcoming improvements to bike infrastructure, transit funding, and etcetera! Also happy to hear about the move of homeless coordination to COIC. Hope that is a happier home for those activities. #InBend

I’ve been usthe 6th Street Greenway and love, love, loving it 💕💕💕 #InBend

New swag stickers coming soon to public transit near you #inBend!

We're especially excited about the new summer service to the mountain. More details on that coming soon!

Who can 3D print a thing for me #inbend? (for money, of course)

I need an adapter for a smart thermostat to fit in a standard electrical box because the smart folks who made it refuse to follow standards.

This should do the trick so long as the holes are 2.75" and 3.375" apart: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3342527

Interesting juxtaposition from the Bulletin #inBend:

"Oregon needs a scientifically based wildfire risk map"

BUT

The short article instead calls for the plan to be shaped by public comment?

Unless public comment amounts to a policy veto, we should instead call for public education and involvement. The version of "public comment" used here too often leads to misunderstanding and frustration.

@emmettoconnell Here #inBend where Confederate Flag Guy Scott Stuart is now the party chairman (featured in the article), the former Republican mayor turned political consultant for the business wing of the party is writing nonsense like this: https://oregonroundup.substack.com/p/biden-harris-try-fail-to-bury-the

If there's a difference between the two old guard and new radicals, it doesn't seem to get in *their* way.

@jeremy_ai I think checking with your local #bicyclingadvocacy group and/or commute options group. #InBend, we have Commute Options & Bend Bikes.org groups. In Portland, OR, I've found joining the rides there helpful, so looking into Pedalpalooza rides. I like "Jenna Bikes" on TikTok (Insta too) for commuting inspiration! #BikeNite

Long before I had my current job, the state of bus stops #inBend rankled me. Look at that picture.

Today, I helped secure $300k to kick off the Bus Stop Improvement Project for Cascades East Transit!

Huge thanks to @atmendez and members of the Bend MPO! This will bring new, durable bus shelters to Bend in the year ahead -- and that's just a start!

@TailorGlad Amazing job. Who is Sydney? Buffered bike lanes are good but not nearly as good as protected ones-let’s get some of those. Yay for street trees. And density. And giving the homeless a safe place to rest their weary selves.

Thanks for doing the summary! #InBend

@Coprolite @jeremy_ai @Daveography A little mountain town sounds cozy. #inBend, back in the 80's, it had more of that little high desert/mountain town then, than it does now.
