LMAO the guy worried about gas tax going up by a dollar, I've got some bad news for you buddy.
written testimony due today by 5PM to [email protected] -- if you don't know what to say, tell them they never finished the networks for biking, walking, and public transit, and won't solve traffic until they reallocate redundant car space on the existing pavement to bikes and transit priority. #Portland #pdxBikes
Make and protect connected routes for biking to be easy and appealing enough that you would choose it yourself for short trips and connections to #transit, or be doomed to sit in traffic. #GeometryHatesCars, but people will choose to drive until the alternatives are more appealing to them. The bus can't stop at everyone's front door, so we need bikes and last-mile mobility options that can efficiently move people and goods while cities grow past the peak traffic density of car-oriented sprawl.
