@AlaskaAir it was really nice a few years ago when you let us book children on separate reservations as long as an adult was on a linked reservation. It is disappointing that I have to call you every time now - even though the website *almost* lets me book it

40MPH doesn't sound dangerous, but hitting a pedestrian at 40 is like pushing them off this giant ladder.

Most city streets are 25MPH for a reason. Slow down.

I don't quite understand why there are so many railfans but not as many boat fans. the most efficient transport option per ton!

If you’ve ever worried about what it’s like governing from a top-down leadership position while fostering a bottom-up, community-driven movement, this next Local-Motive session is for you.

I would add that when it costs the same to get approved a 10 unit development as it does a 100 unit development, the incentive is severely reduced to try and develop a small deal.

@united flight got in 20 min late and now there's no gate for us to dock at? Feels like poor planning at best. UA2059 @flypdx

Of course Trump is taking credit for infrastructure projects funded by Biden’s Infrastructure Bill that he tried to kill when he wasn’t even in office by calling his MAGA minions in Congress….and now putting his name on signs at these projects https://t.co/TdSENV6YIn

@flypdx airport looks great, security line short in length, but everything felt like it was in slow motion. parking -> gate was was slower than expected. Didn't miss the flight though

Rule 47: Limit the Turn Lanes

Place left-turn lanes only at intersections where undue congestion is caused by cars turning left, and make them no longer than the typical rush-hour queue. Generally, avoid the use of right turn lanes.

growing maintenance backlogs + declining revenues = a need to focus on maintenance instead of widening highways. we can't afford to gold plate any portions of our system anymore. Think smaller. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Growing travel demand + aging infrastructure = a critical need for improvements.

The IBR Program is planning for a bridge that will serve travel needs today and in the future. Learn more at https://t.co/vvljJGoo8j

On Monday, July 7, we are beginning to repave a more than half-mile stretch of the NE Weidler and Broadway couplet, a major part of a long-awaited investment in maintenance and safety improvements in the heart of the NE Broadway business district.

[City of Portland, OR @PortlandGov]

In a historic move, the Portland City Council has unanimously voted to increase the settlement for a group of Black homeowners and descendants of the Albina neighborhood, raising the amount from $2 million to $8.5 million. The settlement compensates individuals displaced by urban renewal projects dating back to the 1960s.

The increased settlement was proposed by Councilor Loretta Smith following an unprecedented mid-session executive meeting. Councilor Candace Avalos seconded the motion, and the council approved the agreement with full support.

The great European powers sent observers to the Russo-Japanese War in 1904-5.

They came home saying the last 40 years of technology had changed war dramatically, empowering defenders. Military planners didn’t believe them. Oops.
