Better Block PDX

Building a better Portland, one block at a time.

[TREC at PSU @TRECpdx]

We've gotten some great @BetterBlockPDX proposals so far! But to open up space for more people to submit ideas, we're extending the deadline. If you thought you missed your chance to submit a project, don't sweat it: You now have until 5 PM, March 17: https://t.co/52MD6byKnq

Have you heard about #BetterNaitoForever? It’s the permanent version of #BetterNaito, the protected space for pedestrians and cyclists traveling to and along Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, which we first piloted with @betterblockpdx and @pdxrosefestival in 2015.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (@PBOTinfo) plans to make the bike lanes on Naito Parkway permanent, which means there will only be one lane for cars going northbound year-round (learn more: https://t.co/F9vhRkvdCm).
What do you think of that plan?

Hopefully @ChloeEudalyPDX @PBOTinfo will take some time to read this. #Portland desperately needs to speed things up & we have tons of local resources to do "quick builds".

"We need to immediately implement a quick-build network w/ in 2 yrs as a proof of concept." - rep for @BetterBlockPDX (the folks who brought us #betternaito)

There's global precedent for this...do entire network on low budget to show impact ASAP. #ccimpdx

Beyond excited to attend this .@PBOTinfo open house tonight! This section of Naito was originally in our #BetterNaito plans, but was too complex for temporary install. It’s fun to see it coming to life as the next big step to making Naito Parkway better for all! .@BetterBlockPDX https://t.co/GZtzQ22YaS

Hey @elonmusk, if individualized transport is what people really want, why aren’t we there yet? We don’t need better cars, we need better possibilities for living without one.

[Better Block PDX @BetterBlockPDX]

Excited to see new and familiar faces at tonight’s meeting! We will be discussing our 2017/2018 projects! Come join! https://t.co/zG0W0CbcEr

#BetterNaito is planning in action - grassroots, quick, and beautiful. A great candidate for #APAGreatPlaces award!

Recently built two way protected bike lane in London. This is what a permanent #BetterNaito could look like.

Better Naito ends for 2017, likely to return https://t.co/CGH2C8SBjU
