Proper street and x-walk lighting (see image below), widening sidewalls to add bike lanes on the sidewalk and off the street. That way barriers could be added without taking away space from travel lanes. Adding 4-way pedestrian cycle to intersections with high..... – at Portland, OR
I'm considering a lawsuit against @PortlandGov and @PBOTinfo for repairs to my tires. I'm at the tire shop 3 or 4 tires a month getting plugs in my tires because putting in medians and curbs for unused bike lanes is more important than cleaning the streets.
So it's @PBOTinfo and @PortlandPolice going to start enforcing parking downtown? If not, I'd be more than happy to do their job. NW Davis St between 6th and Broadway always has homeless people parking their impeding turning buses.
Ranked choice voting is the participation trophy of politics.

Why are city and county elected officials making it harder to save your life?

1/3 I'm guessing that neither the Oregon Fire Marshal @OSFM nor the state informed gas stations of the law regarding self-service. I'm running into many in PDX who don't have the required attendants. @KATUNews @KOINNews @KGWNews @fox12oregon
2/3 I just went to the Chevron on 148th and Stark and the lone employee told me that they don't have attendants for their pumps. Same as the Shell on 122nd and Burnside. The Shell on 122nd and Division will ignore you until you pump your own or leave.
Remember when we taught people how to cross the street safely? @PBOTinfo has abandoned that approach, which is putting people's lives in danger.
May is Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month. It's time to bring awareness not only about those cultures but also the hate they endure just by being different. #stopasianhate #Filipino #Asian #PacificIslander #AAPIHeritageMonth #AAPI
You know what would be cool? If @PortofSeattle Police would monitor the bus loading area too. You guys put all of your staff on the north side of the terminal, but nobody to keep the bus loading clear.

Normally when people are bad at their jobs, they get fired. @PortlandGov gives them jobs in @PBOTinfo. This car has been here for more than 2 hours and still no ticket. Another PBOT failure.
Thread:
It's weird. No matter the subject, special interest arguments all sound the same. I heard similar arguments from weed proponents since M91 passed in 2014. It's always about deflecting the attention off of them and onto someone else
We absolutely need more regulations on E-bikes since they are, by definition, a motor vehicle. E-bike is another way of saying E-Moped. E-bike owners should need a DL, insurance and registration, same as you would a Moped.

This is why Portland is failing. A skate park isn't a bad idea, but why not put it in a neighborhood where it can be utilized by kids? Instead, they put it in an area where it will be taken over by homeless and a new outdoor drug den. @PortlandGov @tedwheeler
