Swim Bike Run Walk Listen Rest. Imagine Sisyphus happy.

#1 reason most people don't ride bikes or walk is & will always be the stress caused by roads filled with cars.
Not weather, not hills, not distance, not being sweaty, not having to transport kids or pick up groceries. It's cars and this is never discussed bc cars are normalized.

[Portland Mercury 🗞 @portlandmercury]

Mayor Ted Wheeler has long positioned himself as a leader in the resistance to Donald Trump’s administration. But, in the face of nightly protests he’s eager to put an end to, Wheeler’s critiques of Trump’s heavy-handed orders have softened. What gives?

Ok, but what does the mayor of Portland have to say about this?

[Ted Wheeler @tedwheeler]

A person was seriously injured in Portland last night. This should not have happened. I spoke with US Attorney Bill Williams about the injuries and learned that the U.S. Marshals Service will be conducting a full investigation.

A) Journalists aren't your partners. B) Our job is to stay even after you tell us to leave to make sure you are being held accountable. C) We aren't your PR firm.

Hey @PDX_BizAlliance what percentage of your members are BIPOC? How many BIPOC are on your board or in leadership positions?

@BikePortland I guess @ChloeEudalyPDX is not even able to follow.

We need more space so that people can maintain social distancing AND leave their houses and visit businesses in urban areas.

Car traffic takes up all of the extra space in cities.

Take away car lanes and let businesses spread out into the streets.

we have it so backwards in portland...

Our leaders are handing trust to ppl driving multi-ton vehicles on relatively empty streets (who are speeding and doing crazy stuff!) -- while distrusting people who want & need to walk & bike safely on those same streets.

[Jonathan Maus @Jonathan_Maus]

I keep hearing from city of portland concerns about resource allocation as a reason to not try some open streets stuff... then I also hear abt the huge speeding/reckless driving problem & all the signs/poles being hit & damaged.

wouldn't the former help solve the latter?

[Jonathan Maus @Jonathan_Maus]

imo saying "closing streets" instead of "open streets" is almost as bad as saying "accident" instead of "crash".

reading more abt what Oakland is doing and my jaw is on the floor. all the same stuff we've been highlighting/suggesting. they are just doing it. communicating clearly w public. explaining rationale. deepens my disappointed that portland remains paralyzed.

@nwnatural @PBOTinfo @BikePortland Thanks! That means a lot and is very much appreciated.

Nice to be frustrated with #workzoneWTF today. Ahh, normalcy. @PBOTinfo, work being done by @NWnatural on the MUP between SW harbor way and SW River pkwy. There is not enough notice of the detour in time for cyclists to adjust their route. Major route to OHSU. @BikePortland

Behold Portland and @PPSConnect. This is what it looks like when you are sold out by your local agencies and elected officials. @PBOTinfo @tedwheeler @ChloeEudalyPDX
