Today, Portland officials began removing a bike lane on NE 33rd avenue, just one month after it was installed. Traffic deaths in the City are on track to hit another record. Portlanders deserve safe streets. Add your voice. https://t.co/3Rnd8ceU7C

that's a transpo bureau that claims to be broke, removing a new bike lane from a street designated years ago as a city bikeway because it connects to the city's biggest destination for working-class jobs without announcing the removal
bikeportland.org
The reason appears to be that insufficient notice was given to the neighborhood.

This bike lane is part of a plan that went through a 2-year public process, before being adopted by council by a 5-0 vote (with 4 of those council members still sitting today). To remove it with no notice is what's wrong.
Concerned Portlanders are physically blocking a @PBOTinfo truck that had begun removing the bike lane on NE 33rd.

Automakers told the same lie before the creation of NHTSA, that we died in cars because of bad drivers. Then we started regulating automakers--changing cars, not drivers--and traffic deaths plunged. Cars are the problem. Anyone who says different is trying to sell you something.
We ran this full-page ad in @nytimes and several local papers today. Human drivers aren't good enough. America can do better, and it is time we fully embrace AVs.

Street Roots vendor James Hammond lost his apartment in the May Apartment fire. Now he's at the Red Cross shelter. He is trying to sell Street Roots to get back on his feet, but is also trying to find housing. (Venmo him @streetroots, badge #270).

Lyft's financial troubles got me worried about the future of their near-monopoly on U.S. bike share systems — especially after the company shut down Minneapolis's bike share last month

Good god this is horrifying
A new data visualization tool from @USDOT shows roadway fatalities hotspots over a five year period (2016-2020). Each orange dot represents a fatal accident. Yikes.
