#drivers in #Portland 😞 😒 I don't think this is quite how #PBOT makes decisions but #trafficEngineers do be

More #ClimateDenial #PredatoryDelay by #PBOT, status-quo #YellowCenterlines and a guardrail on the wrong side of the walking/biking path. #DefundDOTs

Apparently #PBOT can’t be bothered to address unsafe driving either. Apparently it is up to us citizens mitigate speeding and other unsafe behaviors without government assistance. #PDX

#Portland Bureau of #Transportation (#PBOT) wants to know if people think they're doing a good job. LMAO. #YellowCenterlines leading to a #NeighborhoodGreenway #SlowStreets signs and barrel cowering over by the side, cutting-through drivers ignore the yellow lines anyway, surface quality is crap and getting worse with every mile driven by car. They should just cut the entire yellow paint budget, I don't care how much they already bought, use it on curbs or something.

gotta be kidding me with these anti-pedestrian signs #PBOT

so cute, that #PBOT #trafficEngineers thought this hydrant would be safe here. #BikePortland video of #swCapitolHwy https://youtu.be/EoPOcBEadbQ #DefundDOTs

Basically since the moment #PBOT bulldozed the trees and widened 39th (now Cesar Chavez Blvd) to four lanes, residents have stories of how they & other kids were not even allowed to go near that street on their bikes. But the #Portland bureau of "#transportation" remains perplexed about how to solve the problem they created or how to make their budgets work 🙄 #Vision60or70Something #carsRuinCities #VMTreduction #BusLanes #RoadDiet #tacticalUrbanism #climateAction #jfdi

sure would be neat to have that orange barrel in the way of yahoos whipping through the intersection onto a greenway but #PBOT #TrafficEngineers think this intersection is "too narrow" to put a barrel in the center 🙄

what if #PBOT had put so much as a haybale in the way of cars since this picture was taken #VisionZero how many deaths could that have prevented

survey runs through Monday. Get in here and tell #PBOT to stop letting cars drive through every neighborhood at speed, kids should have a car-free street outside every school, and make more bus-and-turn-only lane streets out of the 4-lane stroads.

Good reporting on the mostly useless press conference, though #PBOT needs to be called out for where they are spending the millions per day on cars and coddling drivers who don't pay what they cost us. #Portland #transportation

TIL some flexi-posts have been installed, apparently without #PBOT's knowledge/approval, by some other city bureau, to prevent "homeless vehicles" from parking there 🙄

I haven't looked at this yet but I'll bet "stop spending all of the money on making cars kill people" is not an option offered #DefundDOTs #PBOT #CarSupremacy

"We invite you to take an online survey (about 10-15 minutes) about PBOT’s work, budget, and revenue sources:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PBOTCommunityBudgetSurvey

#PBOT out here re-painting #YellowCenterlines, #TrafficEngineers must think the existing design is fine...

#drivers:

"it appears the bar owners (and/or #PBOT?) have made SE 28th entry-only and all patrons are being told to exit onto SE Ankeny. This is a big deal because, as you know, that block of Ankeny is the Rainbow Road which is supposed to be a carfree plaza."

😞 #Portland can't have one (1) block where people on #pdxBikes don't have to worry about cars.

You get the traffic you build for, #swCapitolHwy edition. #PBOT is so proud of the $26M they spent on the next mile of this street, which our TSP designates as a Major City Bikeway, but sharrows are trash. #pdxBikes #InducedDemand #Vision60or70Something

the "I ride transit" #PBOT planners who think Orenco Station drive-to-Urbanism & similar results of #LandUsePlanning are going to move the needle on urban #decarbonization and make a dent in the 50% of GHG emissions that is #transportation in cities, need to see why half of trips are under 3 miles but families are just being forced/coerced induced into creating congestion by transportation agencies planning instead of doing #VisionZero #ClimateAction #stuffInTheStreet Urbanism, like Jersey City?

"Honked at while riding on sharrows, episode 739.", thanks #trafficEngineers
