PDX Transformation

Transformer of streets; deployer of cones. We are here for you! (Any similarity between us and PBOT is imaginary.)

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

@PBOTinfo Because if you don’t, we’ll be back. That’s a promise.

Two years ago today, 15-year-old Fallon Smart was killed by a reckless driver and by our dangerous streets, which fail to put people’s safety first.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

@PBOTinfo So, how about this, @PBOTinfo: why don’t you beat us to it? Why don’t you start Transforming our streets, putting safety before convenience? Why don’t you put us out of business?

Watch that video. Listen to what officials say helps an intersection. Tell us if our city is doing that.

This father and son were also on the @KING5Seattle coverage. Watch the dad put his body in harm's way while his son manages to get into the intersection. This is what it means to be a parent in @MayorJenny @seattledot's #Seattle. https://t.co/o6hqziK6Hg

Wow! Dare we dream?

Hoy celebramos el dia del peatón con una noticia: próximamente haremos una intervención en el cruce de Madero y Eje Central, en el marco del AMD 2018

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

We are totally cool with this.

TriMet announces expansion of bus service, including 24-hour lines https://t.co/g0qzuVNaeH

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

Sorry we didn’t thread that. We were distracted by the urgency of our broken streets, and our desire to fix them.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

So next time you’re out there walking around your neighborhood and spy us working, why not just look the other way.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

And maybe—just maybe—things change! Because we show that change is possible! That’s what a Transformation is about.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

And then maybe they get the idea that those things absolutely need to be done, and they cut out a few layers of negatory bureaucracy.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

So, we do those things when we can’t stand to see them undone, and we make the system act to undo them.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

The system is set up so that a thousand things have to go right for anything to change, even if leaving it unchanged is the worst possible outcome.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

We hope you all realize why we do what we do, and why we sometimes have to break the law to do it.

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

Thwarted! We were all set for a big Transformation early this morning, but someone was about to call the cops on us. It’s a shame, because that Transformation would have helped everybody!

[PDX Transformation @PBOTrans]

We’re going to Transform something this weekend. Wanna help? DM us.
