Some major personnel changes have been made at the Portland Police Bureau’s Traffic Division.
Speaking from her cell phone a few minutes ago, Assistant Chief of Police Lynnae Berg confirmed that Captain Vince Jarmer and Lieutenant Mark Kruger will soon be leaving the Traffic Division (this division is the most important part of the Bureau for bikes because they write 80% of traffic tickets, they conduct crash investigations, and they work parades).
Berg says that Jarmer is transferring to become commander of the Transit Police Division. Lieutenant Larry O’Dea will be promoted to captain to take Jarmer’s place.

Signs of a bike-friendly future in Portland can be found all over City Hall these days. For example…
Commissioner Sam Adams is going to bat for bike infrastructure improvements and he’s making a serious run for mayor. Adams’ vacated Council seat could go to Amanda Fritz or Chris Smith, both of whom understand the vital role bikes should play in our city’s future.
Bikes and the new race for mayor

By now, you’ve probably heard that City Commissioner Sam Adams’ previously smooth road to the mayor’s office has taken a major turn.
Sho Dozono, a well-known and successful businessman, former head of the Portland Business Alliance, and community leader, officially filed his candidacy yesterday.
Many say he poses the first real threat to an Adams victory.
Dozono is already positioning himself as the “citizen’s candidate” and his campaign will likely attempt to paint Adams as a City Hall insider who is beholden to special interests (one of which is of course the all-powerful “bike lobby”).

If you ride your bike across the I-5 bridge between Portland and Vancouver you now have more than just a narrow and sketchy pathway to deal with.
The Columbian reported Friday that ODOT is using cannon fire to scare off flocks of birds that congregate on the bridge.
Here’s a snip from the article:
Man gets mugged while riding on the waterfront
Late Sunday night a man was assaulted while riding his bike along the bike/ped path on the west side of the river, just north of the Morrison Bridge. The rider, who goes by the name of Felix, reports that he was returning to his home in Southeast Portland after a Zoobomb run when he was “pushed to the ground” by a group of unknown assailants.
Here’s more from Felix:
