Advocacy/Input Opportunities
Here are a couple of ways you can have impact on the transportation system:
- Over at the BTA blog, they are noting that the Metro Green Spaces bond measure may include funds for trails that could be used by bikes and peds. The hearings are this evening and Saturday. Get the details.
- ODOT is soliciting input on their '08-'11 capital plan (the 'STIP'). The hearing schedule and candidate project list are available at the ODOT web site. Hey, it's only $75M or so... Mostly roads and bridges but a few token transit and bike/ped dollars are sprinkled in.

Chris, you should make this site available`without the graphic sidebar so it works better on my cell phone. :-)

Scott, the fact that the sidebar is on the right is deliberate so that it flows AFTER the main content on text only devices. How does it appear on your phone?

Chris,
It's actually not the sidebar that is the problem. It is all of the background graphics that surround the white space on the screen. I'd be curious to see how it works on other phones. I only have this service for free for a few more days, so I've been trying to explore it as much as I can. Yesterday, on the bus and MAX was the first time I tried to access portlandtransport.com on my cell phone. The graphic at the top gets "squished" down from side to side so you can't really read it anymore. It tries to load all of the background graphics, but runs out of memory (this may be my own fault with all the pictures I have stored on the thing.) Anyway, it did not totally bomb out, because it let me make that post still...
I'll continue to use it until the end of January and let you know how it goes.
