  1. @PDXPlan yes, it takes an entire community ... but it takes only one strong and determined mayor to put plans into action. #pdxplan
  2. Sorry folks... we know the site is down. we're working on it.
  3. Found out yesterday that BTA Board Member/former City Hall staffer/city council hopeful Jim Middaugh is communications director for Metro
  4. Local urban history/culture buff Shawn Granton is leading one of his excellent Theater History Rides on Dec. 6th http://bit.ly/7YDVeo
  5. We'll be having an informal social on Thurs, December 3rd, happy hour time-ish. Stay tuned for details!
  6. New blog post: Portland's Bicycle Business League grows up http://bikeportland.org/200...
  7. @axoplasm the problem is that it's not against the law to pass bikes in some of these hair-raising locations.
  8. Why can't PBOT's bike planners work with streetcar planners to make sure the improvements don't have to be ripped up at a later date?
  9. Am I the only one that thinks it's ludicrous it is that urgently needed bike safety improvements must wait for a streetcar project?
  10. New blog post: The Monday Roundup http://bikeportland.org/200...
  11. What do folks think of a "No passing when bikes are present" sign? we need it for some narrow roads with bike lanes.
  12. New blog post: Two years after being listed as 'dangerous,' Broadway/Williams fix languishes http://bit.ly/5eq1lu/
  13. Working on yet another story about a lack of action to fix B'way/Williams intersection. the activist in me is jumping out of my chair.
  14. New blog post: News analysis: BTA at a turning point with or without Bricker http://bit.ly/6KERcc/
  15. @shetha of course i agree with you... perhaps i should have put "tragic accident" in quotes
  16. The Merc calls it like it is. What's with TV news vans blocking the bikeway!? (they do this near Esplanade a lot) http://bit.ly/5vAbip
  17. I realize tragic accidents happen, but without firm consequences, a lot more of them are likely to happen http://bit.ly/4zR82F
  18. In Australia, an interesting debate to watch. Should scooters use bike lanes? http://bit.ly/6UzRcc
  19. #wmtm Example, Oregonian had nice stable of local bloggers back in 2005 (including me). I tried to give advice. They never changed. I left.
  20. I think some of the old newspaper folks spend so much time re-arranging deck chairs, that they don't see the new ship passing by. #wmtm
