My god this looks too pleasant. Quick let’s make sure we never build it again!

IMHO replacing the Steel Bridge is more critical than IBR (interstate bridge ‘replacement’)or expanding the Rose Quarter. Especially after what we saw last week…

We also need to do something about the steel bridge so the new interstate bridge to Vancouver has more than just a single MAX yellow train every 15 mins…

Portland's MAX lines slow to a crawl once they reach the city center, creating system-wide slowdowns. Adding downtown tunnels might be the only way to fix that in the long term.

The MAX downtown tunnel is a project that needs to happen. Thanks for bringing this conversation back to life Anthony Macuk.

Portland: great to see TV news picking up on the need for a downtown rail tunnel.

My legit take on #503day is to post on social media your fav moment in Portland in the last year.

If everyone blasted on their feeds with how much we love this place, I can’t imagine the algorithms wouldn’t notice:)

My backup take: ride a bus🚌, MAX🚊, or bike🚲 City Cast Portland

Free pre-approved plans for detached ADUs are now available. These meet some code requirements and support the City’s housing goals and equity goals. Those considering building a detached ADU can use these and save time in the permitting process: portland.gov/pre-approved_A…

It’s very telling that not a single city leader responded to an incident that narrowly avoided catastrophe for our region and still impacted 1,000s of Portlanders relying on transit yesterday.

It’s been 12 hours and there still hasn’t been a single response to this from any of our city commissioners. Terrific job y’all are doing Mingus Mapps Commissioner Carmen Rubio Commissioner Rene Gonzalez - Portland City Parody Mayor Ted Wheeler Commissioner Dan Ryan

Common Portland ‘L’ in respect to the MAX

A Union Pacific freight train derailed this morning at the east end of the Steel Bridge. While impacts appear to be minimal, the event called attention to the bridge's weaknesses as a transit hub—and to the risks of oil-by-rail transport in Portland.

The only upside to this may just be the renewed concern to look to replace the Steel Bridge. It’s a quiet disaster waiting to happen and is a super critical, yet aging/unreliable backbone to so much of the PDX region.

My secret is out: I dont just bike a lot…🏃‍♂️

So just telling us we’re f*cked no matter who we vote for is an interesting strategy…

Still blushing this got quote tweeted by Ron Wyden. Even better knowing it’s sooo true

Weird troll bots are everywhere man. remember those days when Twitter handles were actually peoples names and at best a single digit at the end?

They’re just coming out of the woodwork anytime I bring up a post enjoying anything😐

Big news for the scores of TriMet foamers (I mean this endearingly…)
