@Bman ONE WOULD THINK SO, but you're talking about an "orphan state highway" where people in #Portland are being killed with #pdxTraffic, by #ODOT #trafficEngineers (who just spent $3M in "safety money" reconfiguring an onramp about a mile back rather than a #BusLaneRoadDiet from downtown to Tigard) #BarburBlvd

When #ODOT spent $3M (of "All Roads Lead to Safety [if you're in a car, but still obivously not really because we kill a lot of #drivers]" money) to make an on-ramp traffic swirley around a grocery store, they chose to prioritize vehicle volumes and speeds over safety. The similar-looking mile of Cap Hwy south of here was, just a few years prior, reallocated with quick-build materials at a cost of $250k/mile. It's about 8 miles to downtown #Portland. Somebody please help us with this math 🥴

Well the #trafficEngineers maintaining this #stroad in SW #Portland have another #pdxTraffic victim #ODOTGTFOpdx #BarburBlvd coulda been safe yesterday or whenever #ODOT will finally acknowledge that five lanes of speeding cars and free left turns everywhere is why people keep getting killed with cars here. #VisionZero #InducedDemand

"Regular reminder that #GovTinaKotek doesn't care how many people #ODOT kills with their "orphan" (bastard) surface highways while they're busy trying to sire more lanes of freeway on the backs of future taxpayers."

#BarburBlvd #Portland - how many people are #ODOT's #trafficEngineers going to kill with this design?

Re the I-71 Smartlane addition: #ODOT seems unfamiliar with the concept of induced demand.

Is #trafficEngineering a dead career path, or does the profession stand a chance to deliver the VMT reduction they're asked from #VisionZero and #ClimateAction plans? This stretch of #DennyRd is the only way for people on #pdxBikes to connect part of the #FannoCreekTrail over #ODOT's freeway 217. https://urbanists.video/w/fZdN62XKLGNyxaoT1xwzrk

#ODOT wants to add another two traffic lanes to I-71 by converting the inside shoulder to a Smartlane™ between Downtown and I-270: https://publicinput.com/x2577

Geez, #ODOT, that 11 mile stretch of Hwy 95 north of McDermitt is pretty bad, don’t you have an emergency slush fund to fix things like that?

@anirvan
Need some officials at #odot or the Oregon Legislature to read this. These projects are a waste of time and energy and are making our world worse.

@BreadAndSalt - Fuckery!

@oclsc Last I looked, there was still no actual progress towards extending 821/822 to NEW. If they announce another study, I quit - all the previous ones say it's the easiest option with the best cost/benefit. If BNSF can keep the train on time, the current schedule even works with 3/4.

#AMTK #ODOT #TooDumbToDoIt

100s of people who #walk were killed or seriously injured on #Portland #Oregon streets in 2022, so...

Does #ODOT do all it can to make streets safer? Or does the agency decide close 181 crosswalks in #PDX area to reduce its liability?

Who will suffer?
1. Children #walking to school.
2. Low income #immigrants getting to #transit, often with young #kids
3. Anyone not in a #car.

#Equity? Give me a break.

p.s. Oregon is #10 worst in US of serious road injury/fatalities

Still humming this song.

Bravo to #PeoplesPublicHearing against #ODOT #Freeway expansion!
incredible testimony.

The #Ohio Department of Transportation #ODOT has determined that there's too much #congestion between Delaware and Columbus on US Route 23, and wants to fix that by building more #roads, somewhere. Here's the comment website where they ask where they should build a road: https://publicinput.com/23connect

From #DelawareOH to #ColumbusOH to #AshvilleOH is ~40 miles. The #DC Silver Line is ~40 miles, and cost ~7 billion. We should just build #rail in #Columbus.
