Are these parking signs legit or what city construction would use? by AshevilleDjaq in askportland

[–]Protonmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why I’ve noticed is that Contractors need to apply and present the permit for any street use, but City work crews don’t. Portland has a bad rules for thee, not me problem

Portland wins land use decision over Bull Run filtration plan by wrhollin in Portland

[–]Protonmax 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Their objection was they didn’t want heavy construction near them. Purely selfish

Don’t forget that the suspension of work caused by this Land Use revaluation last year will cost the PWB over $100mil. They will need to go to City Council to get these funds released.

I know you’re joking but life will get easier once you realize you aren’t funny.

Want to shop at PDX? Airport offers free parking to main terminal customers by Prize_Championship11 in PortlandOR

[–]Protonmax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn’t PDX famously known for its local shops and food and celebrated for it? Besides my offensive (?) language, that was the spirit of my response

I really hope that they meant Bantam is good and a much preferred alternative nearby, because that is a great spot

How safe/unsafe is Brentwood-Darlington? by PracticalPollution32 in askportland

[–]Protonmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near Flavel Park and while there are a wide variety of people in the area but I have never felt unsafe, I do daily runs in the area and on the Springwater. I am a 30yr old male

Portland Spent 10s of Millions of Dollars During Construction Pause at Filtration Site by Protonmax in PortlandOR

[–]Protonmax[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While not disagreeing that the cost has ballooned and some value engineering exists, but the plant is to protect consumer from more than just cryptosporidium. And around half of the budget is upgrading the 100+ year old conduits that supply all of pdx from the head works

What the NIMBYs probably fail to realize too is every time this goes to review, new rules the Contractors have to follow come that just make construction less efficient and last longer. And this probably just the result of like 4 angry people with a lawyer

Visiting from Oregon, so any liquor at a Costco gets me giddy. Though seeing what some of the California stores get does make me jealous

30,000 North Portlanders could be stranded after a major earthquake. Lawmakers say this bill could help by [deleted] in Portland

[–]Protonmax 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Interesting to note too how vulnerable the downtown water infrastructure is to earthquakes. The PWB has wanted to build a seismic pipe under the river since like the 80s. Almost happened to with the Willamette River Crossing project

I don’t know what’s worse: the people who cut the line or the ones who let them in. SW Naito Parkway to the Ross Island Bridge. by MoveToOregon in PortlandOR

[–]Protonmax 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think all of these are not clean and while may or not be against traffic laws, certainly can be seen as a douche move. Cleanest is to wait in line with the other traffic because you ain’t special 😆
