#BikeLaneSweeper vs crumbling #stroads lined with auto-oriented businesses with gravel driveways #bhHwy
Can you see Mt Hood while sweeping up the snow-response gravel on the curb-tight section of bikeway on Barbur Blvd at about 4:15 today #pdxBikes?
Yes
#swBarburBlvd is such a disaster. Rot in hell Bob Stacey. #stroads #ODOTGTFOpdx #swCorridor
Presumed liability for drivers who are in the right-hand lane on #stroads but are not turning right or driving a bus.
What measure are we using to decide that our #stroads need extra car lanes instead of #busLanes/turn-only lanes? Here's 5pm on a Friday. #visionZero #pdxBikes #Portland #Beaverton #bhHwy

What are the extra lanes on our #stroads for? Day-drinking sports car drivers, obvs.
Eat my dust, tesla with no license plate. 
(You sell these in a state that requires front license plates but without the bracket for it?)
#BikeLaneSweeper is just picking up broken bits of road caused by all of these cars. Why do we keep paying for these gigantic intersections that just make #transportation inconvenient and cost 4x as much to maintain? #stroads
"As a southeast Portland neighborhood grapples with the loss of a beloved member of their community due to a fatal traffic crash along Southeast Cesar Chavez Blvd... yet another person on foot was hit by a driver on that street yesterday." Well-past time for the outside lanes to be bus+turn-only. Don't tell me we can't afford some signs and red paint or the buses don't have cameras that could enforce it. #stroads #VisionZero #Vision60or70something
BikePortland · Woman killed on SE Cesar Chavez was Tuyet Nguyen, and she's not latest victimThe bad news is another person was hit. The good news is changes are likely coming soon.

What if honking at people on bikes was the same as calling the governor's office at (503) 378-4582 to tell her we need ODOT to put up some signs around the #Portland metro area for the outside lanes of #stroads to be for bike/bus/turn-only and maybe splash some red paint around. #Honky #pdxBikes #orPol #ClimateDenial #WithDemsLikeThese #orDems #ODOTGTFOpdx #VisionZero #ClimateAction #BusLanes
Despite a little rain, I still managed to transport a child up a hill to a thing five miles away and carry a load of groceries up a hill to get home. Actual obstacles to replacing 10-mile car trips with #eBikes are still only imaginary, political / the #FakeScience excuses of state highway departments' #trafficEngineers, and #honky #drivers. #ClimateDenial #transportation #stroads #ODOTGTFOpdx #leaveTheCarAtHome

Sometimes this is a kinda quiet break from the #stroads noise but I'm inclined to just take the lane for that mile or so if I'm getting honked at on the side streets anyway.

@PDXDemSocialist #stroads = street + road and not doing either well. We lack the space for such a cross-section in many places but we could certainly make the outside lanes of every 4+ lane street be bus+turn-only/"bikes may use full lane". That gives good access to destinations by all modes, makes crossing safer, reduces speeding, & makes turning in or out in a car easier. Ultimately the bikeway network will be on side streets that don't go thru in a car, diverters force turns, reduce speed.

Full-length wet video riding the #UmbrellaBike from Hillsdale in SW #Portland to #Beaverton on #bhHwy, with some creative bypass around Crash Corner and the rest of the #ODOTGTFOpdx #stroads-y section
The bike lane ends not long after the county line, thanks governor, with dems like these, who needs #ClimateDenial! #VisionZero #BusLanes #pdxBikes

But the real idiots are the #trafficEngineers counting these excess lanes as additional throughput when in reality they're the source of crashes and congestion. A quick #BusLanes reconfiguration and traffic would flow better, turning would be easier, the bus would run on time, and finding that the bike lane suddenly ends or becomes unusable with debris and a clogged storm drain wouldn't be such a big deal. Half of car trips are less than 3 miles, many lead here. #InducedDemand #stroads
