Thanks for the great write-up. I was really perplexed by Wyatt's remarks, I don't think he understood his audience.

I was impressed with how in-front of the issues Tom Miller is willing to be already. He's already coined the phrase "true choice" to describe when someone can actually safely ride a bike or walk to the bus stop. Without proper active transportation infrastructure near their house, Portlanders don't have a true choice.

We haven't heard anything like that from such the Director position before, and as a safe streets advocate, it's really helpful to hear Tom holding no punches in his new leadership role. Judging from the attendance last night, he has a lot of support.

Thanks for the write-up, Sarah. I couldn't go and I appreciate your coverage.

After reviewing those maps I can see that when cyclist stay the frack out of traffic they are less likely to be killed.

Portland is working very hard to protect cyclist by getting rid of people who have jobs and can afford cars.

Sara,

Can you elaborate on why you think the banishment of "accident" is an interesting semantic change?
