In case you don't get the BTA newsletter, I'm reposting this section

Message 9: SPEED DIAL FOR BETTER BIKING
A cyclist recently posed the great question, "I just got a cell phone
- what are the best numbers to have on speed dial to report dangerous
situations?"
Here's a rundown:
-911 is good to report a drunk (or seemingly drunk) driver
-503.823.1700 is the 24 hour maintenance emergency line to report
street sweeping requests or other maintenance needs
-503.823.BUMP is for pavement repair/potholes
-503.823.SAFE is the city line for neighborhood traffic safety
-503.823.5195 is for parking enforcement
Thanks to the folks on the Shift list for putting this info together!
