Columbia River Crossing bridge

The Oregonian‘s Dylan Rivera reported today that “experts” say a new $4.2 billion bridge is needed to replace the current bridge on I-5 between Portland and Vancouver. I first covered the proposal on this blog back in January. As mentioned in the latest version of Next Up at City Council, the Portland City Council coincidentally had a minor contract on their Agenda this morning. I used the opportunity of the hearing to outline some of my questions and concerns.

I posted my comments to Council on my campaign site. Subscribers using the comment guidelines are welcome to comment on that post, here.
