Today's Walking Photo: I’m not certain this should make me feel as giddy as it does, but here’s the thing – I posted before about the Portland Board Of Transportation’s “Vision Zero” campaign and its “20 Is Plenty” slogan, and I worried (okay, only a little) that maybe I was being kind of a judgy curmudgeon about the questionable effectiveness of these materials. So it gave me no small surge of delight when I saw that this resident had decided to dispense with the pithiness and go straight to pissed-off-ness with “PLEASE SLOW DOWN DAMN IT!!!”
I mean, it really is breathtaking sometimes to be a pedestrian on these residential streets and see just how fast people will zoom by. Makes me glad my kids are grown up.
So I really do like this redesign. I think I’ll pass it along to the PBOT so they can see the beauty in its direct messaging. I mean, at least consider it, right?
