"Let's play to win, rather than playing not to lose" The youngest member of the TriMet Board of Directors, 30-year old JT Flowers, just might be the best hope for transit advocacy we've ever had in one of those positions.

Greg Johnson claims IBR is needed to fight congestion, based on 2019 data claiming 143,000 weekday vehicles: New ODOT data show 2024 volume is 127,000 AWDT, >10% lower. Traffic & commuting have changed dramatically since COVID, which IBR fails to address.

Excellent investigative reporting

on City plans to remove diverters. Big diverters slow car traffic & reclaim street space for people. BikeLoud

If you work inside city government, citizen-led initiatives like unsanctioned crosswalks, handmade benches, and painted curb extensions can feel like a challenge. But your reaction says everything to the people who live and work outside of city hall.

One of the core insights of Strong Towns is that streets are a platform for building community wealth. Real, measurable, financial wealth. This plaza treatment, while not perfect, was a potent source of economic development for the city with very little investment required

Our annual reminder that we don’t need as much pavement as we’re paying for! Let’s make our streets safer and close the gap on the budget deficit by making narrow streets permanent.
