August 9, 1974.

Can such a statement ever again be delivered from the White House?

May it be so. Let’s work together to that end.

These lines are from the text from which President Gerald R. Ford read as he assumed the office of president, with Ford’s underlining.

This is irrelevant, Portland Police didn't save us from Bortac and they weren't outnumbered.

New YouGov poll finds a majority of Americans believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross should be charged for killing Renee Good.

Despite repeated lies from the Trump administration, Americans watched the videos and are demanding accountability.

Praying for the good people of Minneapolis, y'all don't deserve this shit. Give them hell.

Btw, the big story overhanging all of this is that US government is deadly serious in its stated plans to dominate and control the western hemisphere. Take the threats against Greenland very seriously indeed.

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

Brooklyn is so nice without all the cars its so quiet out.

The examples I know are all center running as well.

@ontariotrafficman.bsky.social moving the Overton Window a bit here. Do you know why Toronto is opposed to LRT preemption? Portland, Oregon and Houston, Texas preempt LRT.

11.12.2025 18:53 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Portland and Houston preempt LRT. Houston has a very particular LRT preempt operation.

Two asides. SRB uses the same signal software as the DivisionFX2 project. Portland preempts most of its LRT which is more effective than Priority.

Split = Repartition

09.12.2025 04:09 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Ideally I would want to see the Split times but it seems like they set Split = Pri Min which would mean no reductions to any non-priority phases, then I assume they added 5s to the Split for Ph 8 the priority phase allowing 5s of green extension.

09.12.2025 04:00 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Definitely MAXTIME. It's odd it's programmed not to truncate any phases to provide a green extension. This is going to force it into transition after every TSP service, then it's a question of what the coordinator settings are but hopefully it's set to allow subtract to get back in step.

This is definitely running Q-Free MAXTIME.

Are you sure they're ATC-1000s? Pri Min/Pri Max are Q-Free nomenclature.

There is a typo where it says Portland City Council needs to confirm Greeley.

Yeah it's called a traffic impact analysis. Insanely complex taxation.

Marathon day is the quietest day in Brooklyn every year. Gotta love it when the cars are staying home and the people are hitting the streets.

Same here.

That's not how I read it. He's hedging. His argument is, there isn't definitive research on BAT lanes, lane reductions have safety benefits, therefore we expect limited benefits from the BAT lanes, not the same amount as a full lane reduction.

The US DOT is trying to prevent New York City from implementing a busway on a corridor that serves 28,000 daily bus riders www.nyc.gov/html/brt/htm...

US DOT has already tried to kill congestion pricing, put pauses on 2nd Ave Subway & Gateway Tunnel, & took policing money away from NYC transit.

If I had to guess those of us living in NYC should expect federal troops in the New Year once Mamdani is our Mayor.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.
