Councilor Mitch Green is Portland's socialist transportation champion Socialists are having a moment in Portland. But how might that translate into transportation policy?

"If you’re going to drive a car across town to go to a Timbers game or a venue, you have the means to do so, right? Generally speaking. And you should have to pay some of the cost of the congestion that creates." - Councilor Mitch Green

YouTube video by Carolina Groppa Why "Andor" Hit Different: Exclusive with the Executive Producer Who Changed Star Wars

Wohlenberg’s interview is a useful look at what creative producing actually entails—especially at this scale.
Hiring, trust, tone, and what it takes to keep a project like Andor cohesive under pressure.

The Coruscant safehouse. The Gorman café. Dedra’s painfully perfect apartment.
This convo with the Andor set team is full of great details on how they built all of it.

All of Portland will be alive today with people on bikes, heading to Peninsula Park for the start of the @bike-summer.org Kickoff w live bands & merch.

Nine feeder rides are coming from all over the city to the start of festivities.

Here's the route the ride takes at 3PM to Colonel Summers Park.

YouTube video by Stripe A conversation with Jony Ive

“Opinions aren’t ideas.” And regularly making things for others, even something as small as a bowl of cornflakes, can be central to creative work.

It’s not about genius. It’s about generosity.

Asked a question about job creation at his State of the City event on Friday, Mayor Wilson spoke about how driving less can yield a big green dividend.

It’s time for Portland to, “Leave the cars at home,” he said.

Why the Dutch live longer than us and what we can learn from them The lessons we can learn from the Netherlands, from a culture of cycling, to enviable healthcare and a love of simple meals eaten together

The Telegraph (£) looks at public health in the Netherlands, including the benefits of government policies that support everyday cycling:

“It helps prevent diseases like diabetes, heart conditions, and depression… It improves mental wellbeing, increases life expectancy and boosts social cohesion…”

Art.

😅
Reminded me of this one:

In life ALWAYS shoot your friggin shot. And if someone doesn’t respond right away, remind them in a little while. Everything good I’ve ever gotten in life came from asking. Squeeze under the door like a hardy little cockroach and dazzle those fools.

Thank you! Are there any data on pedistrian traffic counts and/or crosswalk button presses? I'm only seeing vehicle traffic counts in the data source provided.

Crosswalk guidelines for Portland Every intersection, and certain midblock locations, are legal crosswalks in Oregon (ORS 801.220). Crosswalks vary in their design; some are unmarked, while others have stop lines, median islands, rapi...

@pbotinfo.bsky.social The crosswalk guidelines page links to traffic count data requiring a “City of Portland network account” for access. How can I obtain such an account, or is there a public page available for this data?
