Not everyone has the luxury to make this choice. That's why I'm using my position as a transportation demand management practitioner to advocate for better active transportation infrastructure.

Does this encompass the community priorities of enhanced transit (57%), safety (42%), and livability (28%) evaluated in the project goals? Absolutely not, Washington County and ODOT simply disregarded the community's asks in favor of vehicle throughput.
Here’s a timeline of the "improvements" made to this intersection. Before the suburban expansion south of the tracks, there was one leg to cross to reach the other side of this roadway. Granted, there were no sidewalks on the south side of the roadway, and the ADA ramps left plenty to be desired.
Jordan Del Valle Tonoian@jordandt.com · 3w agoIt took over five minutes, and four light cycles to cross TV Hwy at Cornelius Pass after ODOT and Washington County added new slip lanes.
Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha (and most elsewhere) is a car sewer designed by ODOT and Washington County to ostracize, maim, and kill anyone outside of a vehicle.
Build a residential roadway with 100'+ cross sections, 14' lanes, and get predictable results.

At what point do the engineers responsible for this intentionally deadly design deserve to have their licenses taken away and charged with manslaughter? @cityoftigard.bsky.social @cityofbeaverton.bsky.social

The group tasked with developing recommendations on how to maintain Oregon’s transportation system wants to hear from Oregonians about what they think the state’s transportation priorities should be. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/08/14/n...
New survey asks Oregonians how they want transportation dollars spent • Oregon Capital Chronicle
The survey asks Oregonians their transportation priorities, how the agency should spend its funding and what reductions would impact them.

this sucks. we should not accept this without a fight. the next leg session needs to fix this, and we will do it by prepping and recruiting primary candidates for any seat held by legislators who lack the spine to call the question on the ODOT boondoggles.

What do we expect our community members to do when transit service is eliminated in their neighborhood? Some of my constituents in Tigard are about to find out the hard way.
Problem is, no one seems to know if the bus between Portland and Vancouver WA exists or not, or whether I'll be expected to board it if it does happen to exist. @amtrak.com has already hotlisted a set of my tickets before. I sued and won in small claims court and am currently attempting collection.
Jordan Del Valle Tonoian@jordandt.com · 2mo agoAfter waiting on hold for more than 30 mins to speak with an @amtrak.com customer service agent. I am no further to resolving the mystery of whether the round trip I paid $700+ for will be happening or not. Thanks @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov

Maxine Bernstein@maxbernstein.bsky.social · 2mo agoBicyclist shot and wounded this afternoon at SW Market Street & 4th Avenue in downtown Portland. A car was involved, said Chief Bob Day, who addressed media at the scene. No arrest at this point. from @isabeldfunk.bsky.social www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...
As of Aug. 10, @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov is still operating with modified service due to an unstable building near Portland Union Station. Here‘s what riders should know before they go. For more info, visit amtrakcascades.com

Who killed Jamie Dunphy and wore his skin to City Council today? Where is our “good governance” champion right now? Because I didn’t see him once today.
Portland DSA@portlanddsa.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe Council just voted 7-5 *against* this amendment. No: Smith, Zimmerman, Novick, Smith, Dunphy, Pirtle-Guiney, Ryan Yes: Green, Morillo, Kanal, Koyama Lane, Avalos Moderates + Dunphy are refusing to engage in substantive discussion about amendments and going forward with a billionaire bailout.
This is really bad. Transportation authorities only do this when they're in extreme distress.

Hoooooooooly shit. So many people staked their careers on this deal and did not read the previous contracts first.

Everyone—“Can I have a roof and locked door that isn’t $2000/mo so I don’t die” I”The market just isn’t gonna have it sorry bud, i think you’re just going to have to die” The market—“We just poured foundations for our state of the art hermetically-sealed labubu storage facility. Coming right up!”
I was at the Eagle in North Portland last week, and there was a horse outside???? Like a whole ass, living, breathing equestrian creature. Who tf brings a horse to a gay bar?

Infrastructure Weak@infrastructureweak.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe Transit Priority Atlas, by @chittimarco.bsky.social and NYU Marron's Transit Costs Project, is out! It goes way above existing guidebooks, such as NACTO's, to include circulation planning and international tools. Anyone who manages traffic or wants the bus to go faster must read it!
