"Considering apartment dwellers are more likely to ride transit, walk, and ride a bike to meet their daily needs, leading to even less road maintenance costs, the current proposal is even more regressive than has been acknowledged." - @strongtownspdx.bsky.social bikeportland.org/2026/03/30/g...

"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. youtu.be/mMYbkfcJpCs

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. cityobservatory.org/ibr_ignores_...

Up early protecting this beautiful diverter from being needlessly removed by City of Portland. @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social @familiesforsafestreets.org @strongtownspdx.bsky.social

Excellent investigative reporting @bikeportland.org on City plans to remove diverters. Big diverters slow car traffic & reclaim street space for people. BikeLoud @strongtownspdx.bsky.social Bike Advisory Committee question City motives. @councilorgreen.bsky.social supports diverters. Stay tuned..

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.

"It's gonna' take all of us and our relationships to really change this city. There's more of us than there are of them, and we can really go and get things done!" — Harper Haverkamp, ride co-organizer bikeportland.org/2025/08/01/r...

Amidst transit cuts, climate stress, and housing barriers, we continue to gather! Join Strong Towns PDX and friends across the urbanist ecosystem as we come together to build a strong foundation of friendships and joy to sustain us.

Stop by this Saturday for an informal hangout to chat and meet other Portlanders interested in the Strong Towns approach.

Join us this Saturday morning for a fun bike ride to the farmers market followed by the monthly hangout! We have updated the start and pick up locations for the ride. Shift Link: www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/eve... Route Link: ridewithgps.com/routes/51719...

We are so back! Strong Towns PDX members are doers that will roll up their sleeves to fix the issues they see on their own blocks. Hear from a member on why this crosswalk was important to mark:

When you take the base zones and mix in overlay districts, Portland ends up with 779 distinct zones.

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

Strong Towns PDX will host a social afternoon get together on May 29th. Get food at a local business, eat in the plaza, and enjoy coffee or beverages while making new friends! *Alcoholic drinks must be kept at adjacent Gorges Beer or Moonshot Tavern.*

Join us to work on your Strong Towns elevator pitch! We'll work together in small groups to craft how we pitch the Strong Towns approach and talk about our group.

My @strongtownspdx.bsky.social presentation from OATS yesterday (It's an hour, so buckle in) www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcPk...

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.

Excited to see you all next Tuesday!
