CHECKING OUT THE ROSE QUARTER


Particularly dangerous is the merge the 4&44 must accomplish to go onto Williams from the Rose Quarter. That really looks scary. When going into the Rose Quarter over the tracks its too narrow, the bike lane is too close to the bus lane. The bikes coming into the quarter from Williams appear to be heading RIGHT AT the departing buses?
The more I think about this issue the clearer it becomes that this whole thing has more to do with publicity than anything else. Go over to the bike Portland Blog and see the big hullabaloo that went on over this. It makes me just scratch my head? Now, a day later I think I am putting the pieces together. THIS WHOLE THING IS ADVERTISING FOR PORTLAND!
Portland is the "platinum" golden bicycle award winning city, now they have this HUGE ADVERTISEMENT plopped right down in the middle of the Rose Quarter. I mean, look at the size of the BICYCLE on the bike box. And every visitor to Portland ends up at the Rose Quarter eventually, is there any other place in America that has a huge Bicycle green sticker like that?
It IS PORTLAND ISN'T IT?

AMY RUIZ-RUTHLESS LAWBREAKER


IT TURNS OUT THAT MERCURY REPORTER AMY RUIZ HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY VIOLATING TRAFFIC LAWS BY RIDING HER BICYCLE RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE ROSE QUARTER KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THIS WAS ILLEGAL UNTIL TODAY!

HERE IS HER EXACT QUOTE ON HER MERCURY BLOG:


"I've been cutting through the center for over a year now. With the lack of cars, and the fact that buses and light rail trains are oh-so-easy to spot and then avoid, I actually feel more safe cruising through there than I do on Vancouver/Williams."

Bicycle Parking Garage. A nice dry, safe, and secure area.


Center Street may get all of the bells and whistles, but I'm still glad I work at Merlo.

Palin Doll Sent To Factory For Retooling













DETROIT (CAP) - Engineers of the plastic Sarah Palin doll, used successfully for both the Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric interviews, will transport the Palin 8000 to a retooling factory in Detroit due to "overstressed circuitry" caused by "extensive wear and tear" on the unit during its vice presidential debate and subsequent campaign stops.

"She's been a great little doll, answering questions with an impressive approximation of human speech," lead engineer Jack Landow said. "Yes, we sent her out with some minor bugs, but all in all, we're very proud of the Palin 8000."
