I need a break from this guy and the stuff people write about him.

Also the renders are way too well lit, it's going to be a little sad dark depressing path where you can't hear yourself think from all the car noise and you choke on exhaust, like the 205 path is.

could help but think of the Mouth of Sauron with that sensor array

Really glad to see this, and that there seems to be some understanding about how to create a more vibrant city, but oh was it funny when he said:
"It's the unswept bike lanes and roads" when biking past a huge illegally parked truck.

Waiting for your article about PEMO violating meeting laws

Insane yes, at least you can see over the hood, sat in an over-puffed dodge recently, and I couldn't see much over the hood/center console (I'm 6'3" for reference)

Would be cool to see more streets closed off for dining, I find it hard to relax in some of them because of the cars going by so fast (noise, smell, risk of a crash). This one at Petite Provence is nice, except for the cars going by a few inches away at 30+ MPH

Like comparing a Riese & Müler kitted out for carrying kids to a Harry vs Larry, it just feels like one is a bit rougher/more utilitarian.

It’s like the new 70s one that has too many turns. They even added a few recently.

Because of the freeways and lack of safe/close/low stress crossings, that whole area is basically walled off from the west. Halsey is basically a freeway and if you want to do another route it's 4mi to Prescott, or 3mi to Glisan.

Not only a pain to lock your bike (GLFH if it's got even a couple of other bikes there), but also I hate how these make me feel like my bike is taking up too much room because the space in front of the rack is for people walking.

Dear Rider,

We’re writing to you with some difficult news about service cuts that we need to make.

Took most of the stuff for a part in a local park by bike

Sometimes the caulking needs help from us all.

I saw these in europe last summer and thought they were so cool

Carried 18 1x4x12s 4 miles home from the lumber store, glad to have the electric motor

Portland should implement congestion pricing.
