This seems to not be based on safety at all and is probably Mapps and Williams spending money PBOT doesn’t have because of complaints by business owners that are not based on data.
Exactly the kind of stupid decisions I expected Mapps to make when Teddy appointed him.
Goddamnit, Portland. I’m so glad I chose not to move there. I live in Salem instead, where the insanity is at least a little more removed from every day life.
lol, I don’t ride a bike on the roads mostly because of people like you who can’t control their emotions enough to not do some crazy shit. Why don’t you move out to like Pendleton or some shit and you won’t have to deal with all your unwanteds.
Nah man, the people are awesome, they make it fun, friendly, interesting, and sometime crazy. Cars though. Everytime I'm waiting for a midtown bus (NYC) and traffic fills the whole block, all I can think is that all of those people would fit on the bus I'm waiting for.
If we banned, or heavily taxed every car that wasn't a taxi/rideshare or work/delivery vehicle, it'd run like clockwork. Why do we let the 45% (greater NYC) ruin it for the the 55% that don't have cars.
Fair enough, and bikes also pollute with oil coming off the chain etc. Although I suspect pollution from a bike is well under 1% of the pollution from a car.
