Yesterday a record ten bikes were listed on the BikePortland Stolen Bike Listings, bringing July’s total to 30.
In May, 80 bikes were listed and June would have topped that if the listings hadn’t broken after my server crash.
82nd Ave photos show other side of Portland
With an extensive bus and bike network, light rail, streetcars and even an aerial tram, Portland is frequently lauded for its transportation system (there’s even been a movie made about it).
But conditions outside the central city and close-in neighborhoods are much different. Roads in outer southeast Portland — especially busy SE 82nd Avenue — are in dire need of improvements and attention.
More details emerge on driver in fatal crash
Willamette Week reporter Nick Deshais has been digging into the Timothy O’Donnell case to find out more about the driver, Jennifer Knight.
In a story posted late last night on the Willamette Week blog Deshais notes that he tracked down an accident report from Idaho involving Knight just six days before she hit O’Donnell on a rural road in Washington County.
From his story:

Lake Oswego to Portland Streetcar
Metro is currently conducting an alternatives analysis to select a preferred alternative for high capacity transit between Lake Oswego and Portland. Among the alternatives being considered are streetcar in the existing rail right-of-way, streetcar along Macadam, and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along Macadam. All alternatives are also looking at potential for a shared use path. Project staff will present their findings to date on the alternatives analyzed and discuss next steps.
