"April's issue is all about how it started and how it's going in Portland transportation! Taylor Griggs edited the issue and wrote like five pieces for it-including news stories about the status of bus lanes on 82nd Avenue and the (expensive) plan to replace the Interstate Bridge."
"The Broadway Bridge finally reopens this weekend-Sunday April 12. I actually tried to take it last weekend, forgetting that it's been undergoing a deck replacement since October 2025."
"Remember that class action lawsuit against PacifiCorp where a jury found the utility company grossly negligent and responsible for failing to turn off power to areas beset by severe winds, which lead to four major wildfires? WELL, the Oregon Court of Appeals reversed that jury's decision."
