Q1 A city to learn from
What city has an approach to transportation that Portland should learn from? What specific policies, funding, design, etc., could be adopted to work here?
Dublin Ireland. hop on hop off service. streets wide enough to accommodate pedestrians buses and trains and I do not remember where the bikes were but I was never afraid of being run over by them. I don't remember private cars either

Q2 Got it right, got it wrong
What is one specific Portland transportation project (built, abandoned, under construction, or proposed) that you think Portland got right, and one that Portland got wrong?
Max redline to the airport. Bioswales on main roads, takes away parking , bus stops, and creates unnecessary hazards

Q4 How they get around
How do you actually get around Portland day-to-day? Commuting, errands, evening plans, etc. What is the last trip you took by bike or transit, and what's stopping you from doing more of your trips that way?
By car. I work in wilsonville and care for my mother in Happy Valley. I plan my errands around those commutes. Last bus ride was to pick up my car from the shop. I prefer to walk. But bus bike and walking all take too long. My life won't be this way for ever.
