They will have their first meeting on April 5th. The scope is not very clear, but it seems that they will be looking to make recommendations to staff on what type of projects they should consider, and a $3 million budget was mentioned, so perhaps this is a beginning. This amount of money would not do much for the whole downtown area, but maybe if they combine it with making State Street two-way again, it might make a difference.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to the diesel pollution. I am pursuing an issue regarding Metro bringing garbage to our area to be burned and this would mean a lot of diesel trucks. I know that the State lacks adequate air monitoring stations, so any data is good. Makes me wonder if we perhaps should be having emissions control testing, but just don't know it because of poor monitoring.

Maybe if they saw more about the amount of diesel pollution in Salem they would feel different!<br /><br />(I wonder if this is, or is not, a criteria pollutant involved in the CMAQ assessments.)<br /><br />Edit: inserted graphic from OPB.Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.com
