Editorial: Amid historic cuts, thoughts on “fundamental restructuring” of PBOT

bike traffic in Portland-2-2.jpg

Severe cuts will force us
to make bold decisions on how
we prioritize funding.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation made an historic announcement on Monday. In order to balance their budget, the agency needs to make $16 million in ongoing cuts. Not one-time cuts to patch a lean year, but ongoing and permanent into the foreseeable future.

This is a very big deal that is likely to fundamentally change how PBOT does business (read that sentence again). It’s also an opportunity to consider a complete restructuring of how the bureau goes about its business, where funding should be cut, and what expenditures should be prioritized.

Riding on the Steel Bridge: A tale of access and anger

View heading westbound onto
Steel Bridge (note the yellow sign).

Since moving into an office on SW 4th (between Stark and Oak) the Steel Bridge has become my preferred access in and out of downtown. Because I prefer the most direct and efficient route, I ride up on the bridge roadway (not on the sidewalk and not the lower-deck, multi-use path).

Unfortunately, riding in the roadway over the Steel Bridge tends to make some people driving cars angry. This morning I got into a shouting match with a man in a minivan who insisted I should not be there.
