I don't understand why ppl think "people don't have license plates or they obscure their plates" is a good argument against automated enforcement cams. The solution is: If plate can't be read, you get a ticket.

last night I stole back our car that was recently stolen. got a tip it was parked in Roseway n'hood. We found it and I just walked up to it and hopped in and drove it home. This, after stealing back my bike from under a bridge several years ago. Feeling like a true Portlander!

We waste millions a year replacing damage done by bad drivers. If any other road user group was responsible for so much destruction and taxpayer costs, there would be widespread demands to have them banned. Bad drivers want all the freedom and none of the responsibility.

Look at power the police have of controlling crash narratives here. All they have to do is decide on what happened & include it in a crash statement & the entire media apparatus will repeat it w/o doing any reporting or waiting for full investigation.

Even calling it a “PEDESTRIAN safety crisis” puts onus on walkers. What we’re having is a “dangerous driver crisis” and a “shit road design crisis” and a “auto industry that sells death machines crisis”.

if you're a journalist and your response to record pedestrian fatalities is to frame your story solely on police claims that so many ppl are being killed because they don't have enuf funding and/or officers, you are a police PR person, not a journalist.

In the state of Oregon you can get a license and start driving a car (w some restrictions) at age 15. But you have to be 16 or older to ride an e-bike. This makes no sense to me and feels like just another example of the paternalistic attitude we have toward cycling.

One of my tricks when photographing large bike rides is to look for inclines or declines in the street because it allows you to see more of the group in one frame. Often means I have to hustle ahead and look back. I love how this one turned out!

I don't like being lied to. What these folks have done - seemingly for no reason other than to appease business interests - erodes trust in @PBOTinfo at a time when their morale and budget are at their lowest point ever. Just a terrible move all around.

was just explaining the broadway bike lane scandal to a local journo who asked for it in the simplest terms and it really dawned on me how absurd and outrageous the entire Mapps/Williams plan was.

btw, @Commissionerry1 Dan Ryan deleted the Police Reform page on his campaign website, but google still has it. It's very hard for me to square what he said on that page with what he did in council yesterday. look fwd to him living up to his words.

Just stunning malfeasance to throw gas on the fire as the city’s top cop and elected official. Wtf

Mayor Wheeler has extended the state of emergency in Portland through noon Monday. He asks members of the public to get license plates of people dressed all in black and report them to the police. "Our job is to unmask them, arrest them and prosecute them."

A 4-mile freeway closure on I-5 this weekend seems like a neat chance to see what will happen to traffic once we decommission I-5 through Portland. The green lines on this ODOT detour map are the ring system we need to keep freeways out of the city.

Am I the only who thinks it's weird that a lot of bike advocates push for creation of 3 classes of e-bikes, adding further regulations, while will still don't do something similar for cars? We need more regs on cars, less on bikes imo.

portland literally had a city commissioner in charge of @PBOTinfo who said her top priority was carfree streets downtown. 27 months later and I'm not aware of anything major progress toward that... certainly nothing like San Diego has just done. smdh h/t @thecasualroadie

hi city of portland employee. I realize you are hungry and need your chipotle, but there's a parking lot around back and it's never ok to park in a bike lane like you did here on NE 7th & Weidler yesterday. (photo from a reader, who also reported it)

transportation and urban planning are arguably the things that made Portland such an enviable city for so many years... so it's interesting to me that when the city is on the ropes and needs help getting its groove back, there's relative silence at city hall about it.

still can't believe someone did this to my neighborhood. View is looking north from N Mississippi area after ODOT destroyed hundreds of homes to build I-5.

Driving fast and aggressively on city streets is deviant and extremist behavior and we need to start calling it that. Every time.

This is a big deal. I hope someone holds Commish @DanRyanPDX and/or his staff accountable for this. Using your power to manipulate public testimony is a huge breach of trust and flies in face of civic engagement ethics. Is he afraid he can't win a fair debate?

Thank you for digging in and verifying that @DanRyanPDX ’s office deposited these proponents to the front w/out flagging they were invited testimony… @Nicole_A_Hayden .
