New Denver, Silverton residents discuss non-motorized transportation link

Communities are only 3.5 km apart and are connected only by the highway

The inimitable #Silver #Falls near #Silverton #Oregon... Took a longer path from visiting my brother in Portland on the way home. These beautiful views are always worth the extra time. Plus I love driving the rural highways down the Willamette Valley.

One of the most interesting things that I remember from the I-Cat trail meeting yesterday was they tried to sell me on caring about children riding back-and-forth on the highway between #Silverton and #NewDenver . This is the crosswalk those kids painted. You haven’t cared about your kids for years.

I found this confusing letter to the valley voice (sept 2024 i think?) from a woman with the same name as the person mentioned in the CBC article on tax evasion. I found the contents of the letter to the valley folx to be very interesting under the circumstances. #Silverton #CBCNews

…OR Sec State Read will speak at a protest in #Beaverton.

In the Willamette Valley, protesters will gather at the Capitol building in #Salem, in #Eugene, #Silverton and #Corvallis.

Along the Oregon coast, protesters will rally in several cities including #Astoria, #Seaside, #Newport and #LincolnCity.

Protests will also reach southern, central and eastern #Oregon.

In #UnionCounty, volunteer organizer Cheryl Campbell said #NoKings rallies help people in rural areas know they are not alone…

Keep plowing through adversity.

(Indigo:) We went to Paralyzed Veterans in Silverton and they gave us a new manual wheelchair! They're also going to deliver a POWER CHAIR on Monday πŸŽ‰ They said to spread the word if we can! They're having trouble making sure people know they exist as a resource.  

This is the new manual wheelchair! It doesn't look too different from our current/now-backup manual chair from this angle, but the footrests are 1. not broken and 2. the correct length/height for our 6'0 self. They go out in front more. Also, it's significantly easier to self-propel!

And I'm really excited for the power chair! We're going to try going on public transit!!!
