Update: TriMet manual on crime witness policy
UPDATE: TriMet spokesperson Mary Fetsch says the driver did report the incident and that he did call 911.
===
One account from the incident last week alleges that a TriMet bus was on the scene as Ashley Gorman was being beaten yet did not stop to offer passengers as witnesses and the driver allegedly did not call the incident in to dispatch.
According to this comment by Megan, (a friend of the victims),
“The bus driver,
a city employee*, DID NOT CALL 911 while he had a front row seat at the show. HE also drove off with all of the witnesses, while the attackers took off on foot.”
Pedicabs, palm trees, and family bike limos
[Hold on Danica!]
After all the drama last week, I looked forward to a weekend of good, old-fashioned bike fun.
Taking advantage of a dry, non-freezing day, I finally got our new trail-a-bike (a Burley Piccolo) up and running. I did it “family limo” style with the trail-a-bike attached to a trailer. I was happy that Eleni (my 4 year-old) did pretty well on a quick ride to the park and library… but I was shocked when Danica (17 mos!) insisted on giving it a try.
At first I walked with her (her little legs don’t even reach the cranks), but her broad smile and sense of confidence eventually convinced me to go ahead and ride. So there I was, a proud papa, pulling his two little girls. Bliss.
