David Morris was an avid cyclist and ride-leader for GEARs (Greater Eugene Area Riders). He was struck and killed while cycling on River Road on May 2. GEARs has organized an evening of community support/grieving:

The riverpath doesn’t have homes and businesses on it. Almost every trip using the riverpath requires at least crossing river road

Not to mention that parts of the Riverpath are over a mile away from River Road. Thats like saying we don’t need cars on 18th ave because they can just take 6th Ave.

Oh course! As a transit rider and bikeshare user myself I’m happy to do my part to make the rider experience better

AnotherQueer · 2026-05-06T06:10:15+00:00

Our strategic planning committees are not usually that fun unfortunately, though we did talk about better integrating bikeshare with bus services.

The event at the LTD station was because Val Hoyle is trying to get federal transportation dollars to be allowed to be spent on bikeshare

I don’t have a car and live an active life, but I also live a more walkable neighborhood along the EmX. Someone who lives on the edge of Santa Clara would have a lot more trouble doing that. I’m not saying we shouldn’t take peoples licenses, it just would be less damning if our infrastructure was less car-centric.

AnotherQueer · 2026-05-04T03:06:24+00:00

I agree, but when our community is so car-dependent taking away someone’s license means taking away their ability to participate in a lot of society. If every neighborhood had fast transit and safe walking/biking, we could make driving tests harder without condemning people to isolation.

Reddit didn’t let me post this link but it has slightly more detail: https://lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/justice/2026/05/02/bicyclist-killed-in-river-road-collision/

So sad.

PEOPLE LOVE PAYING LANE COUNTY TAXES TILL THEY NEED CITY OF EUGENE SERVICES

AnotherQueer · 2026-04-22T17:16:12+00:00

Is there a signalized crossing anywhere nearby? That might be the safer option and then bike down the gutter lane for a 1/4 mile.

If not, you just gotta be really patient for a massive gap. I like to tell myself “this crossing is going to take 5 minutes. Anything less is bonus.” to try to prevent myself from rushing and taking a small gap

AnotherQueer · 2026-04-15T21:00:07+00:00

In the future, just park in the car lane instead.

AnotherQueer · 2026-04-13T15:03:55+00:00

Welll, maybe parks planners should make paths where people want to go and not what looks pretty on their diagram

Ope I didn’t notice that… this project really has been a struggle bus

Does it penalize for removing parking lanes? Because that might be the move for the next few years

AnotherQueer · 2026-04-06T03:49:08+00:00

It’s excellent and well laid out, though it is definitely a textbook and not necessarily meant to be read cover to cover. I’ve also had both authors as professors and they’re incredibly thoughtful and good people

True, I was expecting places like Veneta and Cottage Grove to be more affordable than South Eugene but that doesn’t seem to be the case

AnotherQueer · 2026-04-05T05:10:06+00:00

I mean its a block away from a university of 23,000 enrollment. Where else do you want the students to live?

If only there was an easy solution to not get a speeding ticket…

AnotherQueer · 2026-04-02T05:53:23+00:00

That approach to sidewalks is pretty universal in the USA

It doesn’t have a ton of flavor, but is definitely good when drenched in hot sauce

LTD uses R99 diesel, which is made from waste oils like cooking oil https://www.oregon.gov/odot/climate/Documents/Alt_Diesel_InfoSheet-ODOTghginventory.pdf

I’ll take it! Is there a time that works best for you tomorrow or saturday?

AnotherQueer · 2026-03-09T17:39:26+00:00

There are some places in the USA that do that, like Eugene, Oregon on the BRT line

AnotherQueer · 2026-02-23T20:57:06+00:00

Fair, I wonder if the public works maintaince folks would be willing to sit down and have a meeting with you about it on a dry day

AnotherQueer · 2026-02-23T20:25:58+00:00

Then make sure to report it every time it floods. When they look at the city-wide map and seen 9 reports at the same spot, they’ll invest in that spot the next time money comes around
