One year later at the Salmon Street stop sign

Exactly one year ago today, the Portland Police Bureau Traffic Division carried out a stop sign enforcement action (a.k.a sting) at SE 23rd and Salmon.
Many cyclists received tickets and the incident touched off a heated debate (that rages on today). This debate includes issues like; the use of police resources, the conduct of law-breaking cyclists, questions about the effectiveness (and necessity) of stop signs, and so on.
I highly recommend a quick look back at my initial post and the comments from one year ago, as well as the follow-up statement by Lieutenant Mark Kruger. Those stories and perspectives offer an important education on the issues raised by the policies, behavior and practices of PDOT, the Police Bureau, and cyclists.

Cyclists made their voices heard in front of the Mayor and four City Commissioners at the Community Budget Hearing last night.
A week or so ago, with funding for the Bike Master Plan hanging in the balance, this hearing was pegged as a major priority for the bike community. But once funding for the Plan was restored, it seemed like the wind left the sails.
