B-line does that in Portland! 😊 A full truck drops things off at a warehouse, and then the cargo bikes take over.
It means fewer big trucks maneuvering through 19th century streets, having to find parking, and blocking visibility outside of storefronts.

Do unto others, as they do unto you 🐸 The Portland Frog Brigade is a group of inflatable frogs and their human friends who show up at protests, town hall meetings, and community events. Their goal is to demonstrate what peaceful and joyful resistance looks like.

Here's the same data with another section added showing the percentage of total deaths for people using each of the transportation modes involved in the fatal crashes.
Good: crash deaths are down.
Bad: it's getting safer to be in a car and less safe to be a pedestrian when there's a fatal crash.

1/Yet of course there is now an effort in Portland to repeat this "failed costly experiment."
It would take 2% of the general fund budget- $16 million, & allow a small fraction of Portland residents to decide how to spend it!Hardly participatory or democratic!

Lots of reasons, stated and unstated. My takes: 1) the old council (wrongly) left key decisions to the new council, 2) the new council wasn't properly onboarded to know that they were short-staffed, 3) a tight budget and inexperienced council, and 4) years of How Things Are Done in Portland inertia.

Portland should elect people who will direct PBOT to put transit and micromobility clearly and confidently above planning for parking and cars. we could be the one place in the US that turns away from the violence, isolation, and frustration of the automobile

A fitting moment to bring back this old transit meme. However they’re powered—gas, hydrogen, electricity, or driverless—leaning on cars instead of investing in quality public transit is still a poor long-term strategy.
