ICYMI spending money on "safe streets" while still spending 100x more to make them dangerous is a losing proposition. #VisionZero #NoMoreFreeways

“It’s absurd for ODOT to claim that their proposed $1.9 billion 10-lane highway is in compliance with the city’s existing plans for #climateAction, sustainable #transportation investment or neighborhood development. We filed this lawsuit because state law requires ODOT to follow the city’s #cleanAir and climate goals. ODOT shouldn’t be allowed to advance a project that brazenly violates the city’s adopted plans.” -- #NoMoreFreeways #ODOTGTFOpdx #Portland

Grim news from the Burnside Bridge design team about the costs of any connection to the esplanade from 55+ft above. The nine (9) southbound freeway lanes right next to that seem to be a complication in getting structure onto anything seismically sound. #noMoreFreeways #MarquamBridgeIsFallingDown #Portland #transportation #ODOTGTFOpdx

interview with "Megan Kimble, an Austin-based journalist and the author of the new book City Limits: Infrastructure, Inequality, and the Future of America's Highways. In the book, she follows the story of three major freeway fights playing out in the state of Texas over the period of about four years while channeling the movement of freeway removals and #reparations nationwide." #InducedDemand #NoMoreFreeways #CarsRuinCities

Stoked AF to #defundDOTs but putting #congestionPricing on hold to do it 
is way less satisfying than simply slapping #ODOT's hand out of the cookie jar: everyone knows you don't widen freeways with congestion pricing revenue. Anyway maybe that's all that was politically feasible right now in this single-party state that enshrines cars' rights in their constitution.

Portland MercuryWithout Tolling Revenue, ODOT Puts the Brakes on Two Portland-Area Freeway ProjectsThe Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been relying on plans to toll Portland-area highways in order to pay for large capital projects on its roster. In particular, ODOT has counted on future tolling revenue while planning the I-5 expansion at the Rose Quarter in Portland and the second phase of its plan to widen parts of I-205 through Clackamas County, which the agency estimates will cost at least $1.3 billion and $550 million, respectively....
STOP ODOT’S BACKROOM HEIST, HELP US RIGHT-SIZE INTERSTATE BRIDGE INVESTMENT
The freeway lobbyists have included a $1 billion allocation of General Obligation Bond funds for the proposed Interstate Bridge Replacement in an amendment to House Bill 5005. This amendment dropped over the holiday weekend, a day before two work session votes on the legislation, the week before session ends.

“ODOT has such a powerful, well-funded PR machine…they’re going to do all kinds of things to manufacture consent for this project by downplaying dissent and hiding the truth about the congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions... The more that we can demonstrate Portland supports [ lids not lanes ], the less legitimacy ODOT will have insisting the projects must be linked.” -- #NoMoreFreeways
