Join TrikeLoudPDX for the #SE82nd parade on April 27th 😆 the only way bikes can roll slowly enough for a walking parade to not become a trackstand exhibition. @bikeloudpdx
final day to provide feedback about the 82nd Ave Major Maintenance Project. #PBOT’s current plans do not include improvements to a majority of sidewalks or any accommodations for people riding #pdxBikes along #SE82nd at all, no #BusLanes for the bus line with the highest ridership in #Oregon??
"In 2022, cars killed 7,508 pedestrians, the equivalent of 18 fully-loaded Boeing 747s crashing with zero survivors. That means a pedestrian died roughly every 70 minutes, with no breaks in the tide of fatalities for weekends or holidays."
@haraldkliems@TheWarOnCars as long as it brings more immediate results than what Portland is doing with #SE82nd, authority transferred to the city and millions of dollars allocated by the state but nothing changed on the ground.
hoping #Portland elects some new leaders who aren't so spineless that they're going to leave #SE82nd ave to fester until finally rebuilding it in 2029 with 1999 designs.
Who TF is going to look at #SE82nd and #Burnside in #Portland, blame the drunk #driver, be sad about yet another unfortunate victim, and not question the #trafficEngineers and elected+appointed officials who make the decision every day to maintain this deadly status-quo and its subsidies? The solutions are well within reach if we just had a little leadership instead of police fanboy "democrats" for a govt. #VisionZero#CarsRuinCities
