Before today I had never stopped in The Dalles (population 14,000) for more than a quick pit-stop at Burgerville during a family road trip. Now, after spending my first full day here, I realize I’ve been missing a lot.

A Wall Street Journal report last week that New York City’s wildly popular bike share system has been operating in the red has, understandably, rattled the Portland transportation world as we wait for a similar system here.
I’ll start by rounding up the burst of media coverage, then offer some quick analysis.
The Journal report last Thursday, which we linked to in this week’s Monday Roundup, kicked things off. An Oregonian news roundup followed focused the blame on Alta, the Portland-based company that manages Citi Bike and has the contract for Portland’s future system. A follow-up editorial from the Oregonian called on the city to scrap its plan and put the money to other bike projects, seemingly misreading a recent bike sharing study to draw the conclusion that a Portland system is “almost certain to require a hefty annual operating subsidy from Portland taxpayers.”

Here on BikePortland’s Real Estate Beat, we write a lot about commercial and apartment/condo bike parking. But we’ve never covered the bike parking Portlanders are probably best at: cool ways to store bikes at single-family homes.
Let’s change that. Snap a photo of your setup and we’ll share the most interesting, creative, impressive, attractive, whatever.
When high-end prototypes are being stolen from local garages, this is a matter worth talking about.
If you’ve got a bike parking setup at home that’s worth sharing, text, email, tweet or Facebook message it to @bikeportland or to me directly: 503-333-7824 or michael@bikeportland.org. Include your first name and what city you live in.
And hey, if you know someone else whose parking setup is an inspiration, send this post to them.
Metro is in the home stretch in updating their Regional Transportation Plan. The RTP is the major transportation plan of our region’s road and transit network that includes an influential project list and sets investment priorities for the next 25 years. Before a final version is drawn up later this year, Metro needs to hear more citizen input to help them fine-tune priorities and tweak policy language so that it aligns more closely with the people who will be most impacted by it (all of us).
To help kick off the comment period for the RTP, Metro has launched a new online survey. One part of the survey is an interesting exercise that turns everyone into a budget-maker.
Here’s the exercise:
