Police report on Ladds Circle enforcement
I just received a report on Wednesday’s enforcement mission at Ladds Circle from Traffic Division Sergeant Mike Fort:

Shaun Deller is well-known in Portland and beyond for his cycling-inspired caps. His business, Deller Recyclist Apparel, specializes in handmade hats sewn from recycled fabrics found at local thrift stores.

OPB reports that House Bill 3020, which generated some surprising feedback on this site last week, passed the House Transportation Committe in Salem yesterday.
