@enobacon No idea but my kid brought home 16 kiwis and now I have a big jar of kiwi juice. Can you juice a leek?

Rep #KhanhPham just co-sponsored a bill that will allow money and staff time to go to kids, caregivers, and schools to choose walking, biking and public transit.

Right now Oregon, and most US school districts, force transportation money to be spent only on car travel and yellow schoolbuses.

Dozens of kids in bike helmets came to the state capitol to express support. Sweet photo of @ShawneMartinez from @bikeloudpdx testifying.

Khanh Pham for Oregon on Twitter

“Deep gratitude for the families & community leaders who took yesterday off to testify in support of House Bill 3014, our bill that will allow school districts greater options to invest in programs encouraging students to walk, bike, and take transit to school. Dozens”

Right Sizing for Reality

#Oregon has elected some brilliant political leaders. Rep #KhanhPham is one of them. She serves on the State #Transportation Committee.

Pham is challenging why $7.5 Billion of DOT money is going into an ill-defined mega-project rather than where our priorities must be: #PublicTransit, #Safe #Streets, connected communities and #Climate solutions.

None of the $7.5 Billion is for #LightRail, #BikeLanes, #Walkways.

Opinion: Up to $7.5 billion for Interstate Bridge replacement project? Time to rightsize for reality

Blowing as much as $7 billion on five miles of freeway between Vancouver and North Portland risks emptying our coffers at a time when neglected rural roads are crumbling, and our city streets are verifiably dangerous, writes Rep. Khanh Pham. Rather, we should scale down plans and emphasize a safer bridge and incentivizing transit uptake to make dollars available for other transportation needs.

@cityobs Seems like part of the plan might be to claim the bike/transit bridge is too expensive/controversial and this design makes it easy to ditch those without changing the rest of the design.

@cityobs Thanks, I wasn't really paying close attention during the CRC disaster. But holy cow, it seems the only thing that ODOT and WSDOT have learned is to avoid independent review at all costs. 1/10 do not recommend!
