PPS plans to require students who live in Sullivan's Gulch (green dot) to attend Jefferson HS more than 3 miles away (yellow line) rather than Grant HS a few blocks away (blue line). How does this align with district goals of encouraging kids to walk and bike to school?

14 years ago my dad, sister and I made this video of what we wish happened when a car door swings into the bike lane: youtube.com/watch?v=o9PKqsgc…

Shout out to Portland’s Benson Bubblers, including this one on Alameda and Sandy that makes a nice running stop on a hot day.

Dear @PBOTinfo, an auto shop at 5123 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Highway regularly parks vehicles in the bike lane in front of its shop, forcing bicyclists into the lane with high speed traffic. Efforts to report the problem to Parking Dispatch have failed. Please help!

Lower deck of Steel bridge has been closed for a week, and closure warning light on east end of bridge isn't working. Any news @MultCoBridges @PBOTinfo @BikePortland ?

Still surfing gravel on my morning commute, although the @PBOTinfo tracker says these areas have been swept. bikeportland.org/2024/01/25/…

Shout out to @BlaqPaks for keeping my kiddos warm and dry this time of year. Lots of good gift options at their retail space at Riverplace in SW Portland.

Oof. “Last Thursday, on what researchers say was the hottest day in modern history, a record number of commercial flights, each one emitting more planet-warming gasses, were in the air” nytimes.com/2023/07/10/clima…

Does @PBOTinfo have a program for sweeping up gravel it dumped during the winter snow storms? Seems worse this year than I can ever remember. Maybe I just need to switch to a gravel bike.

If 90 degree days are normal now in May and October, we need to extend the season for our park fountains and pools (and fix the water fountains) @PDXParksandRec @PPSConnect
