Rainway
Sketching something similar to the St. George rainway on Lakewood Street (next to Secord elementary) given the amount of traffic that flows through there while we’re biking to and from school… i’ve been imagining a Rainway running from the top of the hill all the way to Trout Lake.

can mayor wilson open 1,500 shelter beds in a year? apparently yes, which is good progress. now the question is if those beds will deliver the results wilson has promised www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
Portland mayor set an ‘unrealistic goal’ for shelter beds – and is poised to hit it. Will it end unsheltered homelessness?
Nearly 7,500 people are living outside or in their vehicle in Multnomah County, the vast majority of them in Portland.

An advocate asked me why no one has tried just parking cars on the outside lanes on this road. They thought this road was the ripest for this kind of activism across the city.
Now the idea is out there and you are reading it. Will anyone be fed up enough to try?

distressing to me that andrew callaghan is back to getting interviews with mainstream political figures after multiple accusations of rape and sexual harassment. I do not think your career as the face of a media organization should be able to survive that
