Oregon DOT want 12 highway-widening projects costing billions … that won’t solve Portland's hypercongestion according to their own audit.
(Bonus tears shed when the @portlandmercury refers to the opponents to this plan as “anti-highway activists”
)

has Portland’s traffic gotten bad? i remember it being somewhat good for a big city, but i guess anything is good compared to the Bay. are you opposed to expanding highways generally, or just that it’s not enough to fix the problem ?

So bad. 10-12th worst in US? I’m opposed to “moar cars” as a solution to traffic congestion. I’m especially opposed to solutions that roll forward when they admittedly don’t solve the problem

Yeah, I realized I hadn’t been to whole other parts of Portland in months because I was avoiding the crazytown experience of just getting around

that makes me sad to hear. Portland has a lot of cool stuff and has always been on my shortlist of cities to live in, but i naively thought low traffic was something it had going for it

It’s the CCR effect. No, not Creedence Clearwater Revival, because they’re great. Serenade, what fucking song! California Climate Refugees.

Wait, Serenade was Steve Miller maybe? Who didn’t cause climate change. I think.
