two vehicles, each having been allocated some specific amount of street space by

one costs us all about five bucks per mile and the other one pays more than their fair share in taxes

one of these two people is engaged in commerce and the other is just fucking around

schools suffering the ineptitude of ted wheeler, episode 5693: sending 600 high-schoolers 11 miles (a 1hr bus ride) across town because the [checks notes...] SCHOOL building across the street has a different specific designation in the zoning database. Hello , , good luck with that extra 500 cars on the road, apologies to 100 future inmates etc.

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

Much of the problem with Naito, is that the traffic signal cycles are trying to favor freeway traffic in/out of downtown, which is just for more . It's like your city is expanding a freeway without building any new lanes, just opening all of to anyone with a car to drive through, with at least 50 thruway options for any trip, racking up a debt of crumbling surface streets and running people who bike off of the road while delaying the bus.

Oh so we're going to try the thing that has never worked πŸ™„

"the most effective immediate intervention is enforcement, penalties and public awareness regarding breaking traffic laws."

" and team have been out to assess... reconstruction of the corridor would be... $50 million"

No need to reconstruct it, just do . WTF is wrong with this profession?

So what is going on here, is that the straight flat used-to-be-a-train grade and all of the available right-of-way space on it, is used up by the state highway department to maximize the number of cars sitting at a red light or waiting in line to reach the next bottleneck. In this case, it's the Ross Island Bridge over one mile away. 🀣 5:30pm every damn weekday like this .

has been breaking-in a fresh new commissioner (with no bureau director for 6 months...), and Mingus Mapps seems to still be focused on the stack of boondoggle carway projects has put in front of him. Seems to think that the members of the Bike + Pedestrian Advisory Committees are here to lobby for more funding for the bureau of traffic to continue the status quo of maintaining the whole transportation system for . Drivers feeling the $30M cut?
