Noted transportation reporter Dylan Rivera was among 37 employees laid off by The Oregonian today.
Rivera was The Oregonian’s main reporter on the complex and sometimes controversial Columbia River Crossing project. His most recent article (published this morning) focused on a report by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy that featured Portland’s downtown parking policies. Rivera has also written many bike-related stories — from bike parking at Portland State University to Sunday Parkways.
Rivera’s contribution to public knowledge and discourse about vital local and regional transportation issues will be sorely missed. If you’re a fan of his work, follow Rivera via Facebook or Twitter.
