Good for businesses too. Takes out a whole lot of parking spaces. Gotta love the logic of CoP.

According to Trolley Car Smith, now Planning Commissioner Chris Smith, all of Portland's trolleys take very few parking spaces off the streets. Sure. Then he says that trolleys do not impede traffic. Sure again. It is time for businesses, common sense people to speak up. But who will listen?

Hey, now this was a green project overall so why cry over spilt sewage? /*snark mode off*/

This is why the transit mall...indeed, all of Downtown PDX...is overflowing with thriving, locally owned businesses. Well, to be fair, I really did like those filthy little food carts.

Still, I'll never forgive the CoP for threatening me with a $350 fine for picking up elderly and disabled passengers on that in that retarded switching yard you poor fools are now permanently saddled with.

And to think the same greasy little p**sants are burrowing into the government here in Austin, making plans to tear up the downtown and add streetcars based on the Portland model, so as to further enrich their developer masters. Reading the list of sponsors of the little CoA junket to your sad, dying city was most illuminating.

I suppose in the end it will be good for taxi business. I used to get more fares off those streetcar stops...people who were sick of waiting in the heat or cold, or who had noticed that even walking was faster than that retarded condo sales tool.

As evidenced by the comments sections of your various local media, more and more people are starting to view the entire CoP government apparatus as being run by people such as that drunk driving child molester squatting in the Mayor's office, who simply never grew out of playing with toy trains and model cities.

Come on now ex-cabbie, the City of Thorns has a history of child molestor mayors with less than sterling ethics and grandiose schemes to move the city in the forward direction a bunch of egged planners want. Our Tramwhore is hardly unique so don't pick on him too hard. Pick on the residents who fall for this crap and vote these SOBs into office.

Go by shiatcar?
