It was with great delight a year or so ago that I saw him when the Oregon Electric rails were turned up in the paving at State and High, and he was also taking pictures of them. <br /><br />Part of the problem may be that the board of Cherriots has given its representative direction much too tentative or agreeable; the board probably needs to stiffen its resolve and not cave to the bridge mania.Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-21286202585714040522013-08-06T18:06:03.333-07:002013-08-06T18:06:03.333-07:00I should have explained that Krebs is a member of ...I should have explained that Krebs is a member of the Salem Keizer Transit District Board and their representative to the SRC Oversight Team.Jim Scheppkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077003905171156283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-57791270397029272642013-08-06T18:04:35.058-07:002013-08-06T18:04:35.058-07:00I think I heard Bob Krebs tell the SRC Oversight T...I think I heard Bob Krebs tell the SRC Oversight Team at their meeting on July 31 that he thinks better transit could reduce traffic on the existing bridges by 10-20%.
