Just say NO! Hardesty is one of the worst commissioners in recent history. Traffic barrels to reduce gun violence? Absolutely absurd.
I love that photo. Think I’ve seen it here before, but still. So great & a good motivation when looking outside before the commute, thinking, “I dunno…”
Just a note that the PSU Farmers Market Ride is entering its Rain or Shine Edition with a later start time and an additional meeting spot. Here’s the Shift calendar posting: https://www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-14292
The ride will be led by Daniel Amoni this week.
Thank you.
Where is the Unelect Hardesty meeting? The only thing “more equitable” about the streets involve our collective chances of being run over, shot, or stolen from.
Don’t forget the PDXREMOVEBYBIKE cleanup of the springwater rails, which are pretty much trashed.
Sat Nov 13 10am-2pm – See https://www.instagram.com/pdxremovebybike for details – need to sign up before attending.
