But ODOT, not Parks and Rec, would do stuff in the road right-of-way, so it's not clear what is really going on. <br /><br />A commenter calls it a "bake sale" approach to funding, and J.Maus talks about the "symbolic" value of some folks voluntarily funding a program. <br /><br />It may be more "feel-good" than structural.<br /><br />HB 2500 seems way more important as a funding bill, and it's interesting that Maus wrote about SB 756 rather than HB 2500.Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.com
