The new crest.

Honestly, I think the less said about this the better, but I'll let ya'll judge for yourself.

I want to make out with whoever is responsible for these videos.  And then torture them for information.

The FO will release four videos hinting at the new Timbers' crest, and will release it officially at Directors Park on June 12th at a showing of the USA's first World Cup match.

Here's the first hint:



The second one:



More as they get released.

On-going discussion over at SCUSA.

We got noticed!

Thanks to DaveKnows:Portland for the shoutout.  He's got a great wrapup of last weekend's Timbers match against Costa Rica's Puntarenas and some Timbers news here.

Changes coming to the Couch/Burnside Bridge interchange.

Due to safety concerns, PBOT will be enacting changes on the Couch/Burnside Bridge interchange.  Jonathan over at BikePortland.org has the whole story.  Here are the pertinent bits:

- As of now, they're shutting down the bicycle lane and shifting traffic to the single outside travel lane.  Cyclists are to use the other travel lane that will be closed to vehicle traffic.
- The bicycle lane will be restriped with a skid-resistant material to be a foot wider.
- The moter vehicle lane closest to the bike lane was striped 2 1/2 feet narrower than it should have been.  This will be corrected.
- Also, PBOT will be adding a four-foot buffer zone throughout the curve "to keep motorists from encroaching into the bicycle lane."

What do you think?  Good enough?  Anybody feel like that section of the route is sketchy?
