In what looks like the first real prelude to a future South Salem Transit Center, Cherriots is launching a new crosstown route from Walmart to the Amazon warehouse, with stops in between at Costco and other warehouses in the new Mill Creek center area.

Yesterday Salem Reporter had the news in their update on the Cherriots Board meeting last week. The agenda item published before the meeting was very understated, "Service Change Briefing for May 2024," and it looks like we all missed it. The meeting packet was over 300pp, and this item was at the end. But it deserved more attention! Salem Reporter added it rightly to their update.
The route will start boarding in May. It seems an obvious assumption that when the South Salem Transit Center is opened, the route would shift to originate from there.
Autoism in the Headlines

Separately, on an interior supplement page, the paper trumpets a slight reduction in road carnage, but it's really more mixed news, and centers too much on those inside of cars at the expense of those outside of cars.

Readers shared some April Foolery highlights, and this one from Bikepretty, a blog and merchant of cute bike accessories, landed nicely. It's a literal instantiation of the "traffic cone theory of walking and biking."
