Is TriMet Failing? Could Transit Improve in Portland? Let me know!

I’m just curious where my readers stand. If you could take a few minutes to fill this out and hit submit I’d greatly appreciate it. Also I made the email address empty, but it is just going to me, I’m not selling any of your information and many of you know me. So don’t be alarmed – it would make it easier for me if you did enter your email.

After a week or two I’ll post all of my answers also. Last thing, if you’re from Seattle, Vancouver WA or wherever feel free to fill this out if you keep up with Portland politics. I know some of you do. 😉

Do I think that things could be better in transit for the city of Portland?(required)

The Side Door

Barista

Barista, classically amazing coffee.

Today I headed to The Side Door as my second office of the day. After making my postal pick up at the UPS Store and enjoying a good Barista espresso & cappuccino to kick off the day I wanted a different side of the Willamette. I cut through along Yamhill to Naito Parkway and then along the water front and over the Hawthorne Bridge. Once on the other side it was a loop under the bridge and out to Water Avenue up to The Side Door.

At The Side Door I had a great working session before heading back out for an easy commute back to the home office via the Portland Streetcar CL Line. Yup, that’s right, two trips confirmed on the CL Line.

The working session at The Side Door was great too, in that I was able to get a lot of work done, but also got introduced to a lot of rocking doom metal via the rocking staff. Thanks Side Door staff!

…with that, I’m at the home office and it’s all foot traffic for the rest of this day.

Back in the Photography Game – 7D Action

When I picked up my Canon 7D to start taking high res pictures, one of my main intents is to capture transit in action again. As I have in the past on this blog. This is a shot of the CL Portland Streetcar line just days after opening. Portland got a new streetcar line and I got a new Camera.

Oakland, Go Vote…

…and Portland, we should be standing up for better BRT around the area that connects the high ridership lines. #72, #4, #9 and many others. Have interweave and connect with the town centers and fold into the light rail, as well as provide rapid acces to the city center.

Drop the lethargic idea that we only need 40 foot busses and let’s move more people in an easier way.
