- @cmgosnell @drgrist I'd love to come down and see you in the flesh. What's the topic and venue? in reply to cmgosnell 19:59:13, 2015-01-23
- Takeaways: do small scale development, even when it's intensive. Be willing to prioritize people over cars! 13:04:47, 2015-01-23
- Too many one way streets downtown. Bad for everyone but the cars. 13:03:53, 2015-01-23
- Still have some bad "towers in a park….ing lot" Pedestrian killing dead zones where they meet the streets. 13:03:29, 2015-01-23
- Failure to protect hilltops, wasted waterfronts storing cars and industrial uses right by downtown. 13:01:26, 2015-01-23
- What's not so great? Portland's urban freeways. Huge cultural walls in the city. Sound and visual and air pollution. Blighted corridors. 13:00:35, 2015-01-23
- Also, Portlandia = Cartlandia. MOAR FOOD CARTS. Great for low overhead foodie entrepreneurs! 12:57:30, 2015-01-23
- Modern mixed use developments on small lots result in fine grained, not monolithic building construction. Feels much more homey than Solana. 12:52:54, 2015-01-23
- Compatible multi family housing, often fills small lots, but doesn't go high, even though legally they could. 12 units on 5000sf, 30ft tall. 12:50:19, 2015-01-23
- Single family zones also allow duplexes on corner lots, with one entrance per street frontage. Still looks & feels single family. 12:47:49, 2015-01-23
- Some Portland residential zones have minimum lot sizes as small as 2500sf. Basically any home can build an ADU, with no permitting fees. 12:46:30, 2015-01-23
- These kinds of properties create density, walkability, but still feel like neighborhoods. 12:43:30, 2015-01-23
- Lots of small houses on small lots. Small setbacks, very affordable. E.g. a 900sf house on a 3000sf lot. Both new and old homes too. 12:41:56, 2015-01-23
- Tight tuning radii at corners, bike traffic signals, bike signal timing, great citizen cycling culture. Much less spandex and carbon fiber. 12:39:41, 2015-01-23
- Overall, generally people are often prioritized over cars in terms of infrastructure on the ground. 12:35:57, 2015-01-23
- Fabric of #portland built I'm 1st half of 20th century, vs. Post war in Boulder. Very different, small vs. large blocks. 12:34:41, 2015-01-23
- Storm swales that do neck downs at the intersections. Tillicum Crossing: a bridge for everyone but cars. 1000s of speed humps on bike routes 12:33:05, 2015-01-23
- Kurt Nordback on Portland: lots of slow "yield streets" that are two way, but only wide enough for one car. 12:30:00, 2015-01-23
- At @PLANBoulder Portland urbanism talk. Alan Bowles: "Traffic on I-5, seems like they've got problems." An urban freeway that needs removing 12:19:47, 2015-01-23
