   "I’ve yet to see a better introduction to the workings of the city than the presentation given by the Public Works Bureaus —#Transportation, Water & Environmental Services — to the City Council last Thursday as part of Council’s Public Works work session. To anyone who wants a deeper understanding of #Portland, including budget issues, tuning into the first [6:05-]90min of this session is well worth your time."

     Zimmerman "all public works should be under the same hood" 🤨 pointy white hood, or car hood? (Is there a difference.)

     "Reduced posted speeds on eleven (11) miles of streets" 😒 not even one mile for every six fatal crash victims.

     it's cute how they pretend we ride bikes and scooters and walk and stuff while they build and maintain gold-plated streets primarily for cars
