Welcome to autumn, where I continue to be amazed at the dark, dark, dingy, scary Sunset Transit Center MAX platform. @trimet insists this is OK. It is NOT. Put some lighting in there, @trimet, so I can stop tweeting this.

I ride east from Goose Hollow every single day, so I know of which I speak. Come on, @PBOTinfo can you do your job here before the end of civilization?

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

Not all of the stupid design mistakes of the Goose Hollow MAX platform are @trimet ‘s fault. How is it possible that @PBOTinfo has STILL not come up with a safe, usable, complete bike route to downtown from there?

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

It is in the interest of both @trimet and @PBOTinfo to get as many eastbound bike riders off the train at Goose Hollow. Why make them choose one of two shitty routes? (And done even start about how people on foot are utterly abused by this design!)

You car runs on Putin’s gas.

Hold your ground. Take the crown. #RCTID

On the plus side, it’ll keep the proud boys out of downtown for that weekend.

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

Is that your brilliant plan, @trimet? Cheaper than actual design, I guess. @PBOTinfo #GooseHollowFails

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

Why is this so hard, @PBOTinfo ?

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

I know that it never occurred to @PBOTinfo that anybody on foot or bike might need to access the Goose Hollow MAX platform, but maybe they could redesign the signals and paths with that in mind, just as an exercise.

Then we can discuss why it’s possible for a bike rider to get the green arrow southbound on 18th, but get cut off by traffic heading east when trying to get onto the platform.

@Geo_Rex_H @trimet How are drivers supposed to know this? Good design should be obvious. And it should be judged by its effectiveness. In this case, I see people frequently walking across the tracks only to bounce off the barrier halfway through. #FAIL

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

I’ve figured out just what it is that makes the invisible crossing barrier at the Goose Hollow MAX station so infuriating: the track bed is paved in setts—expensive stone paving normally used in high profile pedestrian areas. Why, @trimet, why?

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

@AlYourPalster @foamer_person @trimet If you look at my picture, there IS a barrier, which is two parallel cables that—to somebody of average height standing on the platform—line up perfectly with the tracks on the far side. This is what @trimet considers “acceptable” design.

@SherylNYT You are missing the point of why this is such a bad story. Quit your job.

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

@SherylNYT And you wonder why people hate the Times. What fucking garbage this story is.

[PJ wants six supreme court justices impeached @__P__J]

Arrested. Tried. Convicted. Sentenced. Jailed. Every last one of those treasonous scumbags, including Donald Motherfucking Trump. Cruz and Hawley too.

The driver of a white GMC Safari (OR plate TB17237) sped past me on the Salmon greenway, cut me off, jammed on his brakes, and explained to me why he is NOT an asshole for blowing through two temporary diverters (and endangering my life). @PBOTinfo

@EricTrump It’s because 80 million people haaaaaaaaaaaaaate the Trump crime family. Good luck in 2024, shit-for-brains.
