#PBOT's "traffic calming" projects are such kid-gloves weaksauce that doesn't pretend to control the kinds of drivers who are actually making our streets feel unsafe. Their machines are 5-7000lb lumps of steel being flung around at 30mph with 400hp and Portland has, after a decade of organizing by neighbors and careful work by professional #trafficEngineers, delivered like a dozen rubber bumps and some paint. #tacticalUrbanism is this stuff but overnight, & then iterate

@glightly You thought pool noodles were effective, you should see the wide berth drivers give you with a couple propane tanks.

@owen @bobco85 @seabikeblog this @activetowns video has a bit about the middle-of-the-road loading zone in Port Townsend with #EdgeLaneRoads. Too many space-constrained road redesigns are starting from the flawed assumption that they need #YellowCenterlines, which waste most of the space most of the time.

@markstos @getalifemike technically that's a bike lane if anybody chooses to use it but maybe you need a police escort, I've never understood the part of traffic Engineering with the guns. 🙃

Oregon voters, sign onto this petition to tell your state lawmakers you want #eBike rebates to enable a shift to tiny efficient and affordable EVs that don't need elaborate charging infrastructure, overpriced useless freeway widening, and parking garage reinforcements to handle the extra weight. #orleg #pdxBikes #ClimateAction
