Why do people even drive in the curb lane on #stroads? I think maybe it's the highway / freeway mentality of staying out of the "passing lane", but then the #honky assholes never seem to conform to that anyway. Would there be less honking if I just bike in [โฆ]

Congratulations to the "bike lanes are not the most important thing in Portland" people for not getting what they want while shouting down the mayor and ensuring that car lanes remain the most important thing in Portland ๐ I'm sure they all had a nice drive home. #transportation #orPol #BanCars [โฆ]

Checking the news from Salem and it wasn't great before I checked either. #orPol #transportation #CarBrain #ClimateDenial #defundDOTs #ODOTGTFOpdx #Portland #WithDemsLikeThese
Is it possible to "fund safety" in #transportation if you can't first move the default away from the idea that "austerity" means maintaining five car lanes with no bike lanes or sidewalks? Those car lanes aren't free to maintain, let alone with $3M in stop light hardware at every intersection [โฆ]
The riding-your-bike-somewhere to firing-traffic-engineers pipeline is so very fucking short, I know people aren't riding their bikes enough. #FuckCars #BanCars #trafficEngineering #defundDOTs #BikeTooter

What's happening? The bill with our hard-fought wins is being ignored in favor of a new bill, HB 3402, which ONLY PROVIDES MINIMAL FUNDING FOR ODOT FOR HIGHWAYS! If we don't show THIS AFTERNOON, lawmakers will think they can ignore the needs of Oregonians' who can't or don't drive and our demands to prevent traffic deaths. This is unacceptable - please sign up to OPPOSE HB 3402 this afternoon. SIGN UP TO TESTIFY VIRTUALLY TODAY AT 3:45PM
WTF #orDems #transportation #Oregon #Portland #defundDOTs #ODOTGTFOpdx
weird how this comes out as an ad for the paving company's stock rather than a chance to cut $70B/yr in wasteful government spending #FuckCars #defundDOTs #NoMoreFreeways
