Rumor What's going on in Portland?

Based on history i would expect nothing other!

 

I hear you. Nobody deserves that. Luckily you don’t see much of that around here. It may lean one way but it’s still a pretty mixed bag. Cowboys with hippie girlfriends. The pretend cowboys in Nashville must be projecting too hard if they are berating kids over masks.

Lol. Do you live in Canby? No?, then why do you care???!!!??

sorry, had to. Lol.

Canby has its concerns and then i have my own concerns.
For Canby, its overall a good thing because of the jobs it will create.
Im on the opposite side of town from where its going up. Im down by the willamette river and its on the ne side on the other side of 99.

I dont know the specifics, but this is what i think will happen.
Because there is already a large amazon distribution center in wilsonville, i think they will realign the areas they cover. Wilsonville will handle the west side of the willamette, Canby the East side.
If this is true i think it will help avoid all the amazon vans hitting the highway or crossing over. They will use 99e to route out the distribution.


As far as semis delivering TO Amazon, not sure it will be noticeable? I dont see many in wilsonville even though i get stuck behind the slow driving vans all the time.. which brings me to my own concern.
These drivers( im sure are monitored very closely) drive 5-10 under the speed limit all the time. My morning commute i see trains of them and get stuck dealing with thier slow pace.

Canby will now likely join the van train and create traffic in the morning as the vans head out.

Its like they all leave at once and its much like a funeral procession. Ive been behind 15-20 vans all in a line before.

So though im not sure the highway entrance, exits will be an issue. The traffic in town will be.
Also. There is a second Canby on off ramp at charbourough. I much prefer that exit going by Langford Farms gold course.
However i take the ferry home these days so all the traffic can fuckoff! Ha!

 

Amazon temporarily rented a huge parking area at the old Xerox property by our neighborhood and kept over 100 delivery vans there. The main problem we had was them driving like madmen and women coming to, and leaving from work. Apparently they don’t want to be at work any longer than they have to be. They all drove like Dale Earnhardt and got surly if you told them to slow down. It’s amazing no pedestrians (and their dogs) weren’t hurt. Seriously. 40+ mph in a 15 mph speed zone is bullshit. Nor were they very good about keeping their parking areas clean and free of garbage. And their impact on local traffic in the mornings and evenings was an added “bonus”. Not surprisingly, Amazon wasn’t particularly responsive to our complaints. We’re extremely glad they finally moved elsewhere…..

 

you mean the employees driving to and from work. Not actually driving the amazon vans right?

i never see the vans going the speed limit.

 

Yeah, employees driving their POVs. Seemed like they needed a gun to their heads to get moving when they were driving the Amazon vans…….

 

The Tragedy of Portland: ‘It’s a Ghost Town, Except for Zombies’

 

i thought i recall hearing about a zombie apocalypse paint gun course out west near hillsboro somewhere?


Sounded fun but was too busy.

 

In the past 18 months, I've nearly been in collisions with Amazon vans on four separate occasions. All of the incidents were very clearly the Amazon drivers' faults. They are worse than Prius drivers.

 

Where your sister "canby" your wife....

(That's what we used to say about Canby when we were kids. Can't believe how much places like Canby, Sherwood, etc. have grown.)

 

100% agree.
I think though its becausw Amazon likely has monitors. Cameras, gfor e restrictions etc.

When i subcontracted for comcast, they put cams in the vehicles that would be set off if you take off too fast, stop too fast or corner too fast, all based on the g’s.

If they are told they will lose thier jobs if the camera goes off too often, i could see why they take extra precautions. But then Amazon meeds to know, these restrictions are creating traffic logjams preventing a smooth flow of distribution, commuter traffic and the like.

ive said it before and will say it again.
Fuck amazon and bezos….

 

@HailBlazers is this acceptable????

 

Please put this in the What's Going on in West Linn (wherever the fuck that is) thread. Has nothing to do with Portland.

 

Sherwood like to be insestual like you!

 

I dunno what I'm supposed to hate on here. I mean, he lives in West Linn, but practiced in Clackamas, Sherwood, AND Portland?
