The future of Portland Oregon



Areas of attack include increasing costs for bi-annual auto and RV registration, removal of on-street parking from neighborhoods by means of "surface water bio-swales", closing neighborhoods to non-local parking, increasing ticketing and increasing the fines per ticket, adding "traps" to high volume corridors to generate very-expensive tickets, removing lanes from multi-lane streets to add almost-unused bicycle lanes (SE Holgate), removing lanes from major through-ways to add surface light rail, attacking private parking lots by annexation for bike lanes / "future Tri-Met use"/"neighborhood greenspace improvement" . The future of Portland transportation is one of the Big Important People riding in armored/piloted ground vehicles and the Little Peasant People riding on public electrified motor transit/walking/biking.
