Due to last week’s snowstorm in Portland, flights from LAX to PDX were canceled and my only option was Amtrak Coast Starlight to make it to class on Tuesday to begin winter quarter. A 2-hour flight turned into a 36-hour adventure on the train. I saw some beautiful scenery during the daytime because of our extended delays, and for that I am so grateful.

Took Metrobike from home at Second and Figueroa to Grand Central Market via Second Street tunnel. I love this route vs going downhill on First. It’s been a while. Where’d all the white plastic bollards go?

A little time outdoors with my fave policy wonk @ahingo to help me sort out the information overload and impromptu action plans. Grateful for our team and their dedication to transform this work in the most creative and caring ways. 💚 #WalkBikePlaces #WalkingCollege (at Harbour Green Park)
