Oh wow. Not a lot of Sunderland in Portland, I reckon.

Thinking the same. Hopefully he's not a Chelsea fan.

I am also unbothered by his absence. Should have hired Hammon!

Whole heartedly agree. There should not be a revolving door. It gets worst the smaller the jurisdiction too... Just look over in Eastern Oregon and fiber optics/data centers.

That is such a strange law.

Probably back to WSP... but then again there is always AECOM, HDR, and Jacobs! 😂

Not surprising. Loud thing... Shelter beds... Quiet thing... So I can enforce a camping ban to jail folks. But then again I had to rank him somewhere fully knowing this was the outcome...

Definitely takes me back to bike lanes=white lanes & gentrification discussions that were had/continue to have. Personally, I would say...start /w an equity&inclusion lens and go from there, but everyone is on a different part of their journey. But I'm not going to fault excited parent volunteers.

I used to sleep out for Stratch and Dent sales when I lived in Eugene in the 2000s. I haven't and won't ever step foot in a REI again.

Wonderful news!

But that being said... They have a near side stop at Holgate because they didn't want to cut into the cemetery. I prefer the Popeyes stop location for Foster.

It is generally best practice to have the stops located on the far side (ie after the intersection) because it reduces conflicts between right-turning vehicles, eliminates sight-distance provlems on approaches to an intersection, and encourages folks to exit the rear of the bus.

It would be for the southwest corner to close off a access driveway leading into Peterson Plaza. At least I'm pretty sure that is where one of the big angry attorney letters came from...

Driveway location off of 82nd Ave to accesss Peterson Plaza.

Also I can't type. *why and *Foster/82nd

I wonder ehy isn't there a "some more" BAT lane option. The double access on Foster/85nd is going to be spendy to eminent domain to close + let Fubonn get their way and then let them watch all the aunties and uncles with hand carts go to Hong Phat!
