Senator Khanh Pham (@senkhanhpham.bsky.social)
Grateful for @trimet.org's leadership, and for the community voices who have pushed the agency to prioritize bus service on 82nd Avenue. This is a victory for healthier, more affordable and more equitable neighborhoods in East Portland. https://loom.ly/M0czKOY https://news.trimet.org/2026/02/transit-priority-lane-decision-keeps-82nd-avenue-transit-project-moving-forward-but-funding-questions-remain/
555-dial-a-gayThis #m15 local #bus operates along side the M15 #SBS, select bus service. Running North and South on 1st and 2nd Ave in Manhattan. This is a very important bus line because this side of Manhattan lacks subway service. Some say itβs the busiest bus line in NYC #buslanes #buses #nyc
Loads of excellent public testimony in favor of #BusLanes on #e82ndAve #Portland (Note the comparison to Foster Rd, which several years ago received a road diet while the furniture salesman posted ~"the end is nigh" on the front of his store for 2yrs leading up to it π ) #TriMet #transit #InducedDemand #trafficEngineers #ODOTGTFOpdx
82nd Ave Transit Project: Policy & Budget Meeting 1/16/2026
Power is back on now but this would have been much smoother as a roundabout with #busLanes #SWBarburBlvd #Portland
"Of the 70 total identified projects where the Portland Bureau of Transportation and TriMet team up to make bus service faster and more efficient, only about half have been built in the past seven years. And itβs been a full two years since weβve heard even a peep about them.

This street has several roles assigned to it by our Transportation Systems Plan but currently only serves as a High Crash Corridor #VisionZero data collector (as if we did not know that #stroads are deadly)

@Karstan TBH some extremes would be warranted if we've waited this long and lobbied for jurisdictional transfer and the money supposedly owed by the state for the negligence that's killed so many people over the years can't manage #BusLanes?? At some point enough people are going to catch on that all of that talk about "working within the system" toward #ODOTGTFOpdx is just stall tactics by and for the beneficiaries of car supremacy. Curb lanes of all 4-lane stroads could be bus lanes tomorrow
JdeBPTo add to the fun:
In the 2 decades since that stock photo was taken, the bus lane along #Broadway to #SpringStreet is now an offset busway (separated from the on-street parking) with red asphalt that it is illegal for cars to use except for access, cars now only having 2 lanes.
So it's not just malicious compliance for the ambulance, but also for subtly highlighting how public transport has already been improved and cars reduced.
