-The most overlooked concern about the CRC is the health impact on communities in North and Northeast Portland.

-These communities are generally more impoverished, and at higher risk for disparities in health outcomes. If plans for the CRC move forward with little or no consideration of potential health impacts, these already vulnerable communities may experience widening health inequality.

-We must support a Climate Smart CRC, which would reduce all pollutants, re-green the corridor, and give people more transportation choices ? all of which offer numerous health benefits.
