A few notes that don't really fit in anywhere...
Last spring on a ramble by the Supreme Court building a mysterious tree seemed a little remarkable. Was it a Cork Oak or some other tree that had a story attached to it? It did not look like any native tree from around here, and seemed like it might have been a gift or the legacy of some gardener. Its twisty branching and textured bark stood out.

On the side of the Supreme Court - A Cork Oak?
(March 2019) |
It looks like that question will remain unanswered.

Gone! Northeast corner where that possible Cork Oak was planted |
The general building renovation apparently included many of the nearby trees, and they are nearly all gone now. That's a bit of a bummer!

Just down the street, the charging station for electric cars appears to be up now at the Capitol.

Cherriots may be starting a new Smart Trips type individualized marketing campaign.
Cherriots' Board meet last week and in the minutes from December 12th (in
the meeting packet) was a note about what looks to be gearing up for a new project:
Marion County Environmental Services and CTC [Cherriots Trip Choice] created a collaborative survey to gauge the impact that residents from northeast Salem have on traveling.The survey had a total of 396 respondents who ranged in age from 18 to 65. The survey results provided staff with direction on how to develop a follow up outreach campaign in northeast Salem for the second and third quarters.

A smart trips project in Grant and Englewood from 2015 |
This looks like a new iteration of
the smart trips project from 2015 in the Grant and Englewood neighborhood. That will be interesting to follow.
Salem Reporter also had
a couple of notes on that Cherriots agenda.
