BTA would support "roll and go" concept
There’s a notable addition to the BTA’s 2007 Legislation page.
In a section titled “Other Bicycle Bills” (meaning ones they’re not working on themselves) is a mention of a local effort — which I reported on a month ago — to consider changing how bicycles treat stop signs.
Update: Alcohol suspected in nearly fatal crash
UPDATE: KATU TV has confirmed that both the driver, Mark Grover, and the cyclist, Dawn Slawta were intoxicated at the time of the crash. Grover has been charged with DUII and sent to jail and Slawta remains in serious condition at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in North Portland. Full story here.
